“What?”
Giselle felt caught off guard by Lukas's sudden statement.
He had already paid them back? What was it?
“What do you mean?” Giselle furrowed. The Luna did not understand what did this alpha say.
But then, she suddenly remembered what her mom had said.
Edsel Brown and his family had been accused of misleading the pack members. They had failed to meet the members’ hope of growing in both strength and financial. Most importantly, his right-hand Tery was caught red-handed lurking around the Ashes pack territory.
Giselle bit her lips, thinking was it true that the pack her mom had been banished from, and the pack Lukas wanted her mom to come back to was the Ashes pack?
Lukas said the alpha had done for Giselle and her mom a payback, with everything that happened recently at the Brownson pack, one was the misleadings, failure of being a head alpha; one was invading another pack’s territory. Giselle
The Luna stared at her phone for a while before picking up, just a second before the call died.“Giselle?” The head alpha voice resonated from the other end. He sounded unsure.It was not Tina’s voice like Giselle had expected.Why had Giselle thought it might be Tina? Maybe it was because the Luna thought Marcus was still with the omega at the time. It might be the omega who called Giselle to show off her winning over the pitiful Luna.Giselle heaved a heavy sigh, “I’m here.”The head alpha breathed a sigh of relief. Carefully he asked, “Are you at your mom?”Giselle got back to the couch, and opened the juice can, taking a sip before answering him, “Yeah.”She sounded curt, looked ever so careless. But honestly, she felt anxious, to say the least.Actually, she did not want to pick up the phone, but somehow, she still picked it up. Maybe she wanted to hear what
Marcus had pulled over to Catherine’s apartment building two hours ago. He had thought of going to her restaurant first. But he had changed his mind. On his second thought, Catherine’s apartment might be a better idea.He had even seen his Luna, tiredly getting into her mom’s apartment building. She was still in her chef uniform.Marcus had to hold himself back from jumping in front of her, pulling her into a tight hug. It had been hard, but he had successfully refrained himself.Another hour passed until it was almost two in the morning when Marcus finally called Giselle after all of the texts he had sent her.At the moment, Marcus was sitting in his car, looking at the entrance of Catherine’s apartment building. The head alpha was waiting for his Luna to show up. He felt himself getting more and more anxious as seconds passed by.His wolf sensed his anxiety, too. Yet, it did not do anything at all. It sat there in silence,
Dorris Bailey got home by one-thirty in the morning.Currently, the former Luna had changed into her sleeping gown, she was in her kitchen, pouring herself a glass of wine. She did not feel any sleepiness at all. As of now, all of hers right then were filled with glee. There was no space for anything else. She was still overly joyful at the news Nabeel had brought her.Dorris drained her glass of wine in one go. She poured for herself another one, drinking it up in one go once again. After three tall glasses of wine, Dorris finally felt a little bit collected.“Ha!” Dorris let out a dry laugh, then suddenly it became a satisfying laughing, “Hahaha haha! Haha haha!”Looked who was winning then!No words could describe how she felt right then. To say the former Luna was over cloud nine still be an understatement. It was more than that!More than that!Mindlessly, the former Luna touched her heart pendant that her
Toby was sure that Raiz had been up to something suspicious. He must have had a shook hand with Edsel to do something fishy.Toby must find out what had they been planning to do.He had had Tim snuck into the prison for those rogues to find the rogues that had attacked Marcus before.At first, they all thought the rogue was a random and reckless one. Raiz could never let rogues wander around the Bailey pack’s area. He needed the pack, so it would be better if no rogues were found lurking around.But now, when Toby thought about everything that had happened, it might not be the case. The rogue who attacked Marcus might be one of Raiz’s lackeys.Just as predicted, the rogue had gone. He was not present at the prison. Someone took him right under Marcus’s nose.If the head alpha knew this, he would be in rage!Nonetheless, Toby needed more. He could not use the disappearance of the rogue to be evident against Raiz. That
After running like a maniac for approximately thirty minutes, the strange wolf finally stopped at an abandoned warehouse.Toby looked at this run-down warehouse, feeling confused.Where was this place?Did they still in the Bailey’s pack’s area or not?“Get down.”The strange wolf kneeled for Toby to get down from its back. When the fighter was down, the strange wolf immediately shifted back into his human form.Upon seeing this strange man’s appearance, Toby immediately felt caught off guard.This man looked exactly like Lady Bailey!A man version of Lady Bailey!“La, lady…” Toby murmured. The fighter seemed like he could not form a proper word anymore. He was astonished. If it was not for the scar on his neck, Toby would have mistaken this man for Lady Bailey.“Dorris is my twin sister,” the man said, clearing all of Toby’s wonder, “My name is Nabeel.”The fighter was stunned to speak once again.Twins?But Toby had never seen him with Lady Bailey at all.“You never showed up,” Toby
The Luna felt utter disappointment at her mom.How could she?How could she betray Giselle like this?How could Catherine still hold on to such silly thoughts?Edsel would never love her! All his life, what he loved was his throne, his power, and himself only! There was no room for others. Only he and himself!Notwithstanding, Catherine still had the idea of giving the Ashes pack to Edsel!She must have lost her mind!“Mom! Look! When you’re at the hospital, almost dying from his marking bite, where was he? When I was five, who sent those lackeys of him to our house, forcing you to do a removal surgery to get his mark out? Tell me if it wasn’t Edsel!”“Gigi, he was forced,” Catherine weakly defended Edsel.“No! No one forced him! The man had done this all of his own wills! No one put a knife in his throat or pointed a silver bullet in his head to force him to do it! No one! Mom, it’s him! It’s his own will! Wake up! See where you are! You’re not and never will be his mate!”“Slap!”Th
The Luna ran out of her mom’s apartment building.As her vision got blurry, Giselle could not see where she was going. Unfortunately, the Luna stripped down the front step of the apartment building. She felt herself fall before she was engulfed in a tight hug.All of sudden, the cedarwood scent from none other than the head alpha of the Bailey’s pack lingered around her, his worried voice came right after, “Giselle, what happened?”The Luna looked up. Her blurry vision made it hard for her to see Marcus’s face clearly. Nonetheless, she still could envision his face’s outline.Upon seeing him, Giselle felt like a broken dam. Her tears were streaming down harder than before, she was sobbing even.The Luna grabbed onto Marcus’s shirt. Giselle buried her face into his shirt, crying hysterically. Her whole body was shaking due to her crying, her tears quickly wetted Marcus’s front shirt.Yet, the head alpha did not bother about his wet shirt. He was more worried about the crying Luna of hi
Who could that wolf be?Raiz bit his lips, thinking of all the possible chances. Nonetheless, he came up with no one.That wolf was too quick for his followers to catch up with him. He was careful at hiding his scent, too. Whoever that wolf was, he surely knew how to spy.But suddenly, there was a name that Raiz never wanted to remember of flash in his mind.The name of a wolf who had killed one of his lackeys in the hospital a year ago. The name of the wolf who had ruined his plan of kidnapping the Bailey’s pack's Luna.The name was Nabeel Bailey!He was the twin brother of Dorris Bailey, the right-hand of Raiz’s brother, the fearest fighter of all time. Even though Nabeel was only a beta, his fighting skills were no joke. Even alphas felt threatened by him sometimes.It took Raiz his blood, sweat, and tears just to get rid of Nabeel.Maybe Raiz had been in his comfortable stage too long that he had completely forgotten that Nabeel was still alive. He had only been banished, not sent
