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
Merely in one minute, Marcus had finished all the mag of ten bullets. The head alpha pushed the little button underneath the stand’s 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! “Wow!” Giselle exclaimed, “You’re good.” “Well yes, I am,” 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, “Now, it’s your turn,” the head alpha pulled Giselle in, pushing her backward. “I don’t,” “I will teach you how to do it. Go ahead. If not, then it won’t be called destress anymore.” 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. “Come on,” Marcus encouraged her. Hesitated for a bit, the Luna stepped
“Leave, pup!”Nabeel 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.“I won’t.”Toby 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, “Then stay if you want.”With that said, the beta locked his door, putting on his cap, ready to leave.“Where are you going? You’re heading to Raiz again?” Toby quickly followed the beta to the elevator.“Where am I going is none of your business. You want to stay in front of my home, then be my guess. Just don’t follow me! I hate followers!”Nabeel 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 Catherine’s apartment, currently, the omega’s 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. Catherine’s intention was no different from betraying Giselle. Catherine totally understood why Giselle had been mad at her.No words could justify Catherine’s 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
“What happened?”Marcus rushed to Fynn’s office where Tim, Lady Bailey, and a representative of the council had been awaiting.The looked on their face seemed serious.“One of our elders was attacked. He’s in pretty bad shape now,” Tim said.“Will he make it?” Marcus asked again.Tim looked at the other two before shaking his head, “We don’t know yet. Fynn isn’t out of the operation room yet.”Marcus heavily nodded. Tim briefly reported to him the whole situation.The elder that got attacked was one of Raiz’s supporters. It would be easier to understand if the one who got wounded was one of Marcus’s 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?“Alpha, what should we do now?” The representative
“My mom will be at your party?” The Luna exclaimed. She found it hard to believe that her mom actually agreed to come.But came to think of it, Catherine really got no choice then.If she came and supported Lukas, maybe the alpha would spare Edsel.If she came and disapproved of Lukas, or if she did not come, did not do anything. Either way, Edsel would be in danger.Lukas had carefully planned it all before he came to see Catherine. The alpha had made it look like he was giving Catherine her freedom to choose, while actually, she did not have any choice but to support him.“Things are going in your direction now,” Giselle looked at the alpha, unamused.Lukas shrugged, “Your mom needs some accelerant,” the alpha did not deny what Giselle had said. He insinuated that her words were true though, “Truth be told, I was so sure your mom knows too well of my intention. She could have just stayed in and chosen to do nothing. That way she still got what I had promised with you guys without mo
