“Well, well, what do we have here?”
That was a strange man. Giselle had never seen him before.He had dark brown hair, narrowed eyes, unshaven jawlines; his tone sounded amused; his eyes flared bright red. He was an Alpha!She looked at his shirt. It had blood splashed on it. She did not think it was his. Highly chance it was Marcus’. But there was no Marcus’s scent on him. So, it was safe to say that Marcus was safe.Giselle felt relief at the thought.Giselle sat on the floor. Her shaking had lessened as she saw the strange man coming up to her. This alpha had no scent at all. It was odd. She had never heard of any wolves who did not have scents.“Who…who are you?”Giselle gulped, asking the strange alpha.Her wolf was grunting. Her wolf's caution mode had been reducing. Yet, it was still on alarm, obviously. But it had calmer than before. Maybe it was because her wolf had known her mate was not in danger, but her.Was he from the Bailey’s pack?“What are you doing?”Giselle jolted, her face turned pale as she looked up.One of the men stood in front of her. He stared right at her phone with a dead look in his eyes.“You can’t use this. I’ll keep it for the time being. Let’s go!”He quickly snatched her phone away. She looked at her phone with a desperate look in her eyes. She had just press called. Derek had not answered her phone call yet. She knew, calling Derek would be of no use. But he was the only one Giselle could call right then. She did not have Marcus’s number. Even if she did, he would not have come. He hated her.Luckily, Giselle had already sent her location to Derek. He would have come here. And then what?Giselle was so urgent that all she could think of was Derek. She should have to call Lady Bailey instead.What to do then?“Get in!”One of the two alphas pushed her in their awaiting van. They both get
Marcus glared at Derek for the last time. He then turned away, storming to the elevator.Derek was quick to catch up with Marcus before he walked past the security, “Please, I need to see Giselle. I need to make sure she’s okay.”Ben startled. He glanced at Derek. Terrifying ran all over his body as he felt the tension around Marcus had just risen.“Does this man know what did he just say?”Ben thought to himself as he shifted his gaze back to Marcus. The alpha leader stared blankly at the elevator’s door.His tongue poked the inside of his left cheek. He looked unamused and annoyed also.Ben licked his dry lips, saying, “Marcus, we should…”Marcus let out a huff, definitely did not want to hear what Ben had to say. The alpha leader clenched his teeth, turning toward Derek’s direction. He stopped in front of Derek, looking straight into the poor man’s eyes. His voice laced wit
“What do you want from me?”Giselle was tied up.Her surrounding was a run-down warehouse. It was not that spacious, maybe about twenty square meters. Rotting woods, molding, and ammoniac scents filled her lung with some kind of a disgusting mixed scent.The two strange alphas heard Giselle asking, but they made no effort to answer her question. They just left her there and left.“Wait!”“Just stay there!”One of them snapped, slamming the door shut, leaving Giselle alone in the dark.She bit her lips, thinking of a way to get out of this situation. No matter what those men were up to, Giselle could swear they were no good.Giselle had not met them before, and even if they were in the Bailey’s pack, the chance of they knowing Giselle was their Luna was small. If they were not a council member or friend with Marcus, they would not know.Basically, Marcus made sure no one that did not attend their w
Marcus.We could not go in any further in our human forms. It would be dangerous, so we shifted.“Where’s your friend, mom?”I asked her. I had sniffed around to find there were no other scents than Ben, my mom, and me. Our scents were so visible compared to the two rogues that hid in the abandoned warehouse over there.We made sure to keep a safe distance from them.Mom did not answer me.But then, I heard a low roar echoing from the other side of the forest.My ears peaked at the faint sound. I immediately stood up, looking around. My heart was pounding. That painful roaring got me worked up. I wanted to run to where that sound was. I felt like I was on fire. Anxiety crept through all the veins in my body, urging me to go whenever.The thrill was eating me up. “Do you hear that?”Mom and Ben looked at me, confused.“Hear what?” Mom asked. She peaked her ears up, trying to hear w
MarcusWhen we got to the hospital, Giselle was barely breathing. Her condition was critical.I did not remember how did we get out of the woods? What happened in the woods after I had found Giselle? It all seemed like a blurry memory to me. Also, how could we get to the hospital? How could we make it to the special department? I could not remember at all.Fynn had to struggle with me to get Giselle, and only at that moment did I realize I was holding onto her that tight.But I had no choice. I did not want to let go. My wolf did not want me to let go, either!“My mate was about to die!” I could not shake off the thought. It haunted me!I sat on the cold metallic bench right outside of the operation room.My elbows rested on my knees while my head was buried in both of my palms. My palms still had Giselle’s fainted eucalyptus scent and her intense bloody smell. The smell of it was somewhat irritated.I could not imagine
Giselle.Maybe the Moon Goddess had heard my praying, so she sent Marcus to me.Just when I was about to pass out, I saw a silhouette, a beautiful greyish-white wolf with flaring red eyes looking at me; and somehow, that silhouette seemed familiar to me.It reminded me of Marcus.No, it was Marcus!Although my nostrils were too weak to pick up any scents, his cedarwood scent was still vivid to me.I tried to lid my eyelids up. However, they felt so heavy on me. No matter how hard I tried, I could not.How pathetic!Such a simple task, but I could not even do it.How pathetic was I!Marcus got straight to my side.I could feel he was nudging on my side, but I was too exhausted to respond.It might sound strange, yet, I could feel sadness, agony along with warth slowly built up in him. I wanted to reassure him, telling him that I was okay. Since he had been there, I would be okay. Nonetheless, words stuck in
Giselle.“You’re distressed.”His words caught me off guard.“I…I don’t…”“You are. I can sense your distress, you know.”I nervously laughed, “Thanks.”Marcus looked at me, confused, “For what?”“You saved me. Without you, I couldn’t make it out alive.” I sincerely said.Maybe there were problems between us, but he had come.For now, that was more than enough.“Oh, that, don’t worry about that.” Marcus paused for a second, then continued, “I have something that I wanted to tell you.”I felt a tug in my heart when I heard his saying.What did he want to tell me?Suddenly, I felt so nervous.“What…What do you want to tell me?”Did he want us to part way?Did he want to end things between us? Came to think of it, there was nothing between to end at all.
“The Moon Goddess has established the bone between you and Giselle, not Tina! And now you are telling us that you want to cut the knot and tide another one with Tina? Do you hear yourself? This is such a humiliation!”Edsel was an alpha leader, too. This whole ordeal that Marcus was about to do might ruin his reputation. Edsel could not let this happen!Let alone Tina was with Lukas Perez then.Hence, Tina would not want to be with Marcus.“Giselle has just woken up, and she has already dealt with your bullshit like this! You do not deserve to be the head alpha!”Edsel hissed, pointing to the door, grunting demand, “You two should leave before I lost control over myself!”“Mr.Brown…”“Enough! Let’s go!”Marcus still wanted to say something. However, Lady Bailey seemed like she also had enough of his nonsense; she pulled him out.When there were Edsel, Giselle, and he
