Giselle felt a sudden creep run across her spine, making her shiver.
“What’s wrong?” Her mom asked, concerned.
Giselle shook her head cause even she did not have a single idea what was wrong. Yet, one thing she knew for sure, her uneasy feeling had just grown. Nonetheless, Giselle shook it off.
“It’s about time for your check-up, right?” Giselle diverted her mom’s attention.
If Giselle's memory served her well, her mom's check-up was about to come.
Catherine had a mitral valve regurgitation. Her disease had gotten more and more serious. It had gotten to the point she had to do cardiac surgery. Her mom was definitely aging.
Giselle felt emotional just by thinking of it.
Her mom had gone through a lot. Catherine’s physical health had been weaker than any other omegas since day one. It was obvious that the omega’s body could not be strong enough for her to bear a child. Therefore, Cat
Isma Perez was a close friend to Catherine.They were childhood friends. However, the two rarely talked ever since Catherine had got to know Edsel. Isma had disapproved of Catherine and Edsel, too. Catherine had gotten so angry at her best friend when the omega found out. She had thought Isma would be on her side.The two had not spoken since then.When Catherine had been banished from the pack, Isma still begged for her. But Catherine’s dad had dismissed her. Catherine had been too stubborn with Edsel at the time. The omega was too stubborn to the point she would not listen to anyone.It was safe to say that Catherine regretted it now. Of course, she was not regretted of having Giselle. Giselle was everything Catherine had. Catherine regretted losing a protective family and a friend like Isma.Should she had not been so blinded by Edsel, she would not be in this stage right now.Catherine could not help but sigh.“Can&rsq
“Ding!”The notification sound from the microwave went off, snapping the two out of their hazy stage.“Damn it.” Marcus cursed under his breath, not wanting to leave Giselle’s side as the omega scent just got him under his spell. He felt like her enchanting eucalyptus scent of Giselle around him suddenly turned into a deep blue sea that pulled him in, drowning him in its intense aroma.But Marcus was willing to drown in it. Marcus was so ready to lose himself in it.Even Marcus’s inner wolf yearning for it, too. It felt disappointed when Marcus stopped in his track.Not only did Marcus and his wolf feel disappointed, but Giselle and her wolf did also, too.Nonetheless, the omega knew she was not ready for them to take things further than this.“Is mom seeing the guy?” Marcus reluctantly let go of Giselle to get his pizza.His God damn pizza! It suddenly did not look so appetizing
The alpha took that as his signal. The alpha leaned in, peppering the omega’s face with pecks.The omega could not help but giggle at his action.“Stop! Stop! You’re tickling me.” Giselle tried her best to squirm to get out of the alpha’s shower of pecks.Marcus laughed along. And finally, he stopped with his pecks. However, Marcus did not want to stop there.The alpha leaned in, finding his way to the omega’s tempting cherry lips.As Marcus placed his thin lips on hers, Giselle felt sparks lit up in her head. It made her feel dizzy. Her surroundings suddenly were gone. At that moment, the only existence thing to her right then was Marcus.The omega felt ever so light-headed like she was one cloud nine. The alpha was being tender to her. He made her feel loved and treasured. It was the kind of love Giselle had never experienced before.It made her feel scared, but at the same time, yearning for more
“Hospital?” Lady Bailey asked. She sounded surprised, “Did anything happen?” Did Marcus get hurt, or was it, Giselle? Far as she knew, there were no fights or encounters that happened after the event of Toby, Ben, and Raiz. So why did Marcus have to be at the hospital? On the other end, Marcus knew he had screwed up. The alpha knew Lady Bailey hold a grudge against the Brown. She had made sure to tell Marcus that she despised of them. Such a relief that she did not feel hate or hold her grudge against Giselle! Long story short, Lady Bailey should not know about the Browns were here, at their hospital. “Oh, I come to see Fynn. He’s never been around anymore,” Marcus quickly thought of a reason to make his presence at the hospital sound gullible, “I have to go now. Fynn’s here.” Without waiting for Lady Bailey to return his words, Marcus briskly turned off his phone, throwing it to the side, he let out a heavy sigh. “Tsk,
“Tina!”The omega jolted at Marcus’s sudden call. She looked in his direction as he was making his way to her.“What a coincidence! I was just discussing your condition with Fynn.”Marcus furrowed as he saw the omega.Tina also felt insecure when she saw Marcus. The omega knew how ugly she looked at the moment.She looked worn out to say the least. She looked ugly, unhealthy, and shabby. Tina, as of then, was different from Tina before.However, it was not her act. Her weariness was understandable. Tina’s wolf had been so exhausted by all the healing jobs it had to do for her. Tina’s inner wolf had gone to its hibernation, which was rare for a wolf. But, once again, understandable. Plus, hibernation was only a word Fynn put out to describe the omega’s current stage.Long story short, Tina’s wolf was no longer there. It took time for her wolf to come back. In the meantime, the omega
“Tina, who is she?”Marcus repeated himself, demanding an answer.Tina looked up at him. The omega bit her lips and then turned aside, “No one.”Marcus would not buy her words.“Who are you trying to cover for? Who forced you?” The alpha needed to know.The omega kept on shaking her head in denial, crying, “Don’t force me! I can’t say it!”Marcus pursed his lips at her. Anxious grew within himself each second passed by.“Marcus, my dad has been through a lot. The least I can do for him is to keep my mouth shut! He can’t handle anymore.” Tina started to hiccup. Her words sounded broken.The head alpha furrowed: “Tina, do you want me to help you?”Tina, with her eyes all teary, and her nose as red as a tomato, once again kept her head down. Her shoulders were slightly shaking. The head alpha looked at this and thought to himself that
Giselle quickly hung up the call.The Luna felt like she was struck by lightning in the middle of the day. She barely breathe. Her heartbeat raised, and her hands were shaking and feeling stiff at the same time. A cold ran across her spine, making her numb with the chill of it. Her palms wetted with cold sweat making it hard for her to even held her phone still.If she was not mistaken, that was Tina. That was Tina on the other end, answering Marcus’s phone.By any means, did that indicate Marcus was with Tina at the moment?But the head alpha said he would be at the packhouse to settle some works, and then he might pay Fynn a visit to place an appointment for Giselle’s mom. Marcus never mentioned of him seeing Tina.Plus, Tina was supposed to be abroad then. Giselle’s mom told her the omega had been abroad for months now. Then why was she here? Had she been there all the time?Giselle bit her lips. Suddenly, Giselle felt h
“What?”Giselle pretended like she did not know what was Derek talking about.The Luna quickly turned away. She changed the subject, “Let’s go! We should be there on time!”But Derek did not let her get away. The man held Giselle back by her arm, he said, “Whatever bothering you, if you could let it out, it would be so much easier to handle.”Giselle clenched her teeth. She did not turn around. The Luna nodded, “I know. But it’s nothing, really.”Derek stayed quiet for a while. After he affirmed that Giselle would not tell him anything, he let go of her.“Giselle, you should know that I’m your friend. I cared for you. If anything bothers you, let me know. I’ll lend you an ear, maybe an arm, too.”The Luna nodded, finally turning around. She looked at Derek, and smiled reluctantly, “Maybe I’ll need you to drive.”She was not sui
