“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 wMarcus.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
“Slap!”“What are you doing?”“Dad!”Brenna Brown and Tina Brown exclaimed at the same time.Brenna rushed to Tina’s side, sheltering her daughter from Edsel.“Have you lost your mind? What did my Tina do?” Brenna gritted. She did not know what was wrong with this man. He had just come home from the hospital and already released his anger on them! What had happened there?“You have to ask? Your precious daughter had pressed me to her mess! Her life is a whole mess that I try not to stick to it. But she has to drag me in as well!”Edsel completely lost his temper. Just by the thought of what Marcus had said, he could not help but feel anger boiling up inside of him.“First Marcus, then Raiz! And now? Who the hell is Lukas? You can’t stick to just one man?” Edsel screamed out loud, ever felt so frustrated, “My plan got all messed up because
“There’s someone outside?”Lady Bailey widened her eyes. She was horrified!No one could hear the conversation with Marcus!“Can we see the surveillance camera? Maybe we could catch that guy's face.”“No use. This area had no cameras.” Marcus wiped his face with his hands, heaving out a heavy breath.Big trouble!“You had better pray that person did not hear anything!”Lady Bailey stormed out of Fynn’s office, irritated.Meanwhile, at the parking lot of the hospital, the anonymous man got to his car, carefully looking around, making sure that there was no one after him.Unfortunately, the anonymous man had just got in his car and thought that he was safe when Nabeel caught up with him.“Calling someone?”Nabeel smirked. He looked at the anonymous man right in the eyes. Nabeel’s eyes flared blue. He emitted a dangerous pressure. Th
“That’s why you met Tina?”Giselle smiled, taking another sip of her hot milk since she could not take any caffeine just yet.Marcus nodded, “Unbelievable, right?”“No.” Giselle shook her head.“No? Who would have met their destined in a bar after all?” Marcus laughed, shaking his head, leaning back on the backrest of the bench.Giselle pursed her lips. She wanted to say something, but she chose to let it go.With Tina’s personality, if the girl had ever met Marcus somewhere else, other than the bars, that should be weird.But, on the other hand, the way Marcus implied the word “destined” had hurt Giselle. Nonetheless, she shook the disturbing thought away.Marcus and she, they could never be.A moment of awkward silence passed through, Marcus hemmed, he began, “I might have said it before, but I will say it one more. I’m sorry, Giselle,
