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 Baileyโs packโs area or not?โGet down.โThe 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 manโs appearance, Toby immediately felt caught off guard.This man looked exactly like Lady Bailey!A man version of Lady Bailey!โLa, ladyโฆโ 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.โDorris is my twin sister,โ the man said, clearing all of Tobyโs wonder, โMy name is Nabeel.โThe fighter was stunned to speak once again.Twins?But Toby had never seen him with Lady Bailey at all.โYou never showed up,โ 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!โMom! Look! When youโre 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 wasnโt Edsel!โโGigi, he was forced,โ Catherine weakly defended Edsel.โNo! 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, itโs him! Itโs his own will! Wake up! See where you are! Youโre not and never will be his mate!โโSlap!โTh
The Luna ran out of her momโs 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 Baileyโs pack lingered around her, his worried voice came right after, โGiselle, what happened?โThe Luna looked up. Her blurry vision made it hard for her to see Marcusโs face clearly. Nonetheless, she still could envision his faceโs 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 Marcusโs shirt. Giselle buried her face into his shirt, crying hysterically. Her whole body was shaking due to her crying, her tears quickly wetted Marcusโs 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 Baileyโs pack's Luna.The name was Nabeel Bailey!He was the twin brother of Dorris Bailey, the right-hand of Raizโs 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
Merely in one minute, Marcus had finished all the mag of ten bullets. The head alpha pushed the little button underneath the standโs surface. A rattling sound was heard before the bullseyes came close to them. All of the ten bullets hit the center of the bullseyes, no miss! โWow!โ Giselle exclaimed, โYouโre good.โ โWell yes, I am,โ the head alpha had that smugly look on his face as he took the compliment without any hesitation. Giselle could not help but roll her eyes at his cockiness. After he had done replacing a new mag for Giselle's turn to shoot, Marcus stepped aside, โNow, itโs your turn,โ the head alpha pulled Giselle in, pushing her backward. โI donโt,โ โI will teach you how to do it. Go ahead. If not, then it wonโt be called destress anymore.โ The Luna wanted to decline but Marcus brushed it off. He insisted that the Luna should try. Besides, Marcus did not go anywhere, he would help the Luna. โCome on,โ Marcus encouraged her. Hesitated for a bit, the Luna stepped
โLeave, pup!โNabeel rolled his eyes at the sight of Toby in front of his apartment.This fighter had followed Nabeel since last night. The beta had made sure to leave him at the entrance of the woods. But somehow, the fighter still found him.This was getting on his nerves.โI wonโt.โToby sounded affirmed. There was something telling the fighter that Nabeel had known more of Raiz than Toby could think of. It was just that the beta would not bother to share.Nabeel narrowed his eyes at the fighter, coldly he said, โThen stay if you want.โWith that said, the beta locked his door, putting on his cap, ready to leave.โWhere are you going? Youโre heading to Raiz again?โ Toby quickly followed the beta to the elevator.โWhere am I going is none of your business. You want to stay in front of my home, then be my guess. Just donโt follow me! I hate followers!โNabeel looked at Toby, the beta sounded threatened.Indeed, Nabeel was only a beta. Toby was an alpha. An alpha fighter was always st
Back at Catherineโs apartment, currently, the omegaโs crying had died out. Catherine sat on her couch. Her phone clutched in her palms. She pursed her lips, wondering whether should she call Giselle.The omega knew she had been wrong to her daughter. Catherineโs intention was no different from betraying Giselle. Catherine totally understood why Giselle had been mad at her.No words could justify Catherineโs thoughts. Honestly, even Catherine still did not know herself anymore.Edsel, that selfish alpha had stunned her ever since the day Catherine had been banished from her pack, disowned by her dad. And when Edsel had gotten hand in hand with Brenna, the selfish alpha had completely turned his cold shoulders to Catherine. He had forced her to do surgery to remove his mark on her. Needless to say, the procedure of removing the mark had pained Catherine for life!The omega bit her lips, touching the scar that stayed hidden under her cardigan. It had been there maybe for more than twent
โWhat happened?โMarcus rushed to Fynnโs office where Tim, Lady Bailey, and a representative of the council had been awaiting.The looked on their face seemed serious.โOne of our elders was attacked. Heโs in pretty bad shape now,โ Tim said.โWill he make it?โ Marcus asked again.Tim looked at the other two before shaking his head, โWe donโt know yet. Fynn isnโt out of the operation room yet.โMarcus heavily nodded. Tim briefly reported to him the whole situation.The elder that got attacked was one of Raizโs supporters. It would be easier to understand if the one who got wounded was one of Marcusโs supporters. But it was not.Lady Bailey bit her lips. She had been lost in her thought for quite a while then. The former Luna was wondering why did Raiz choose to do this. Why did he have to take his supporters down? Was it a plan of diverting their attention to something else rather than him so he could freely to operating his real plan?โAlpha, what should we do now?โ The representative

Derek met Giselle again a week later.The girl was queuing at the coffee shop that Derek was frequent. The two were pretty surprised to see each other there.โYou were Derek, from a week ago on the street, right?โ Giselle asked him first, with a hint of unsure.Derek beamed at her. He nodded, โGlad you remember me.โโOh, no. Not that kind of remember,โ Giselle shook her head.The manager chuckled, โI know. So, erm- would you mind having a cup of coffee with me?โ Derek asked.And surprisingly, after a bit of consideration, Giselle said yes. But it was not rocket science. The girl was curious about Derek and that was all.From what had happened three days earlier, this man seemed to know her and that bothered Giselle. How could she forget if she ever met the guy? He seemed to be a nice guy, Giselle would remember if she had met him before.But then, again, everything about her past was nothing but a blurry mess to her. He might be someone she knew back then. Moving here was such a great
โGiselle-โ Marcus said, trembling. He could not believe in his eyes anymore.It was Giselle by flesh and bones! She was not Marcusโs hallucination.She was alive!โGiselle!โThe head alpha happily pulled Giselle in his arms, hugging her tightly as if he ever let go, then Giselle would disappear in only a blink of an eye.If that ever happened, Marcus did not know how he could hold himself together anymore.Now that she was here, he would not let her go ever again.His wolf was howling, feeling happy that it could finally bathe in its mateโs comfort scent once again.This was ecstasy.โWow, easy! Who are you?โ Giselle frowned, pushing Marcus away harshly. The girl looked at Marcus with only irritation and confusion.โGiselle-โ Marcus found himself dumbfounded. He could not catch on with the situation anymore.Giselle frowned, eyeing Marcus head to toe. The girl then huffed, she sounded so distant, โDo you know me?โ Marcus was too stunned to speak. His lips quivered but no words could
A year later.โItโs Tobyโs wedding ceremony today, Gigi,โ Marcus said, โHeโs getting married to your human friend. They both seemed very happy.โMarcus shoved his hands into his pockets, his eyes darting away as he let out a heavy breath.It had been a year then. A year of longing and torment with Marcus.Time had passed but he could never forget the day Giselle fell off the cliff, and how useless Marcus felt over a year ago watching her disappear right in front of his eyes. Though that day had been gone for good, still, Marcus could recall the sadness and such a helpless feeling of a year ago like it had just happened yesterday.Marcus still lived, but he rather d*ead.The head alpha did not seem to be himself anymore but rather an alpha wolf struggling and tormenting himself.He overworked himself to the point of being almost exhausted. He rarely ate or drank anything. His sleeping schedule was a mess, too. He was deprived of sleep. Because every time he closed his eyes, he could no
When Tim and Ben got to the lighthouse, they got no sight of Marcus at all.Raizโs lackeysโ bodies lay on the ground, no longer intact. Then there was also Raiz, who lay dead behind Marcusโs back. His cause of death might be a b*loody hole in front of his chest, or it could be because of the silver knife piercing through his forehead. Either way, Raiz was dead.But Marcus? They did not know about his whereabouts.The head alpha had been impatience, so he came here by himself first. And for what had happened, Tim and Ben could say Marcus handled the situation well. Yet, where was he then?Did anything unfortunate happen to him?The two looked at each other, frowning.Unexpectedly, they heard Marcus yelling, โGiselle!โThe two flinched, rushing to where their head alphaโs calling rang up. And they saw him.There he was, diving under, frantically searching and calling Giselleโs name. But there was no sight of her.โMarcus!โโAlpha!โThe two called out for their head alpha, but they got n
Without any hesitation, and not even a blink of an eye, Raizโs blade c*ut through Giselleโs throat like it was nothing.Not only Marcus was too stunned to react, but only Giselle.The cut was quick. So quick that Giselle did not even feel the sharp edge of the knife slashing through. Only when the damage had been done, as the stingy feeling rushed in with the burning sensation that flooded her neurons, did Giselle realize what Raiz had done.Giselle looked down and widened her eyes in disbelief as she saw b*lood quickly staining her front dress.Her wolf immediately got into action, spreading its healing ability to keep Giselle from dying.The Stephernโs omega was lucky because it was not a cut caused by a silver knife. Otherwise, she would be dead by now.โStop right where you are!โ Raiz raised his voice, and he caught Giselleโs attention.And then, Giselle heard a raging roar. The roar was so scary that it even terrified Giselleโs inner wolf.Looking up, the Stephernโs omega saw Mar
โArenโt you happy now that your beloved uncle calls, Marcus?โ Raiz said smudgily.โWhereโs she?โ Marcus got straight to the point.โMy oh my, arenโt you worried about her?โ Raiz chuckled, โAnd here I thought you two are separated. How silly am I! I almost got played by your little one, nephew.โMarcus stayed silent for a quick second before replying, โLet Tina go!โHis words hit hard.โPardon?โ Raiz raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Giselle.The Stephernโs omega quickly turned away, avoiding his gaze. Tightening her fists, Giselle bit on her lips hard enough that she tasted blood.Even though she had a guest that Marcus would call Tinaโs name out in the very first place, Giselle still felt somewhat hurt.However, she must endure this feeling.As she said, Marcus and Giselle were histories. Apparently, Marcus would think of Tina right away. Also, it was kind of humiliating for Raiz that he had chosen the wrong one.Marcus probably had not heard about Giselleโs missing yet. Be that as
"What do you mean Giselle is gone?" Marcus sounded disbelief.How could she be gone?But f*uck it, he had no mind to think about it anymore.He had to get to the hospital first!.The special department was in a hastiness.Securities and guards were seen at every corner of the hospital and its parking lot, desperately searching for the Stephernโs omega, who had gone missing. Every little detail counted. Therefore, they were doing their best searching for her.Marcus barged into Giselleโs ward, where Fynn had already been there. The doctor leaned on the window pane that Giselle kept opened and facing the door. He looked troubled.The head alpha looked around the whole room, frantic.โShe has been gone when I came here,โ Fynn sighed, โWe have no idea where is she. We have been searching throughout the hospital but could not seem to find her anywhere.โโDid she go out alone?โ Marcus nervously asked, โHave you checked the surveillance footage yet?โMuch as he wanted to jump right to his f
"Let me go!"Marcus was startled awake to find he was no longer in Giselle's dreadfully cold and cramped hospital room. He was at his house now, asleep on the couch since God knows when.The head alpha sighed, and slumped back against his couch.Resting his hand on his forehead, Marcus stared at the ceiling, remembering what had happened this afternoon.Giselle had told Marcus to let her go. She still did not have any particular feelings, however, Marcus could hear a little bit of inner pleading in her voice.Marcus knew it would be best if he let Giselle leave the mess that was him. But at the same time, he could not. Just as he thought about letting Giselle leave, Marcus could not bear it.He was too blind beforehand. He let his anger cloud his mind and made a terrible mistake.***โLet go of me!โBrenna and Tina shouted out loud. The two were kidnapped and brought to the forest within the Ashes pack territory.In such a place, no one could interrupt Lukas took out his anger on them
