The news of Edsel’s death did not take long to reach the Bailey’s pack. By that time, Tina and Brenna definitely knew about his death, too.Unlike Giselle had thought, Catherine was strangely calm. The omega said she had prepared for the day. Moreover, what happened between Catherine and Edsel was long gone then. Besides a tad bit of lost feeling, the omega did not feel anything else.But Brenna and Tina were another stories. These two were quiet and collected. Unlike Catherine, who had been shunned for too long that her feelings for Edsel had faded, Brenna and Edsel were a happy couple; at least that was what others thought of them, but still.When Giselle met the two at the funeral, except for the pale expression on their faces, they looked indifferent, hiding their face under the black veils covered their face.“If there is anything trouble you two just tell us,” Marcus said to them in represent for the Bailey’s pack.The two looked at Marcus and then at Giselle. Brenna remained co

“Camille is your mom?” Nabeel seemed to be taken aback. In his mind, a million thoughts jumped out of nowhere, invading his clouded mind. But then, as he remembered something, the banished beta pressed on his grab a little bit harder, “How old are you?” His eyes were sharp as the beta seemed like he was about to eat her alive. The she-wolf grimaced, “What’s wrong with you?” Why did he need to know her age? “Tell me!” The banished beta roared, demanding an answer. “Twenty-four! God! Twenty-four!” The she-wolf shouted out loud. Nabeel immediately released her. His eyes widened in disbelief, mumbling a name, “Yona.” This time, it was the she-wolf who took her turn to be stunned, “You know my name?” *** “So, who is she?” Toby asked Nabeel as the two followed the girl named Yona to the run-down area in the town. They were heading to Yona’s house. The neighborhood was located in a suburban area with not so many households. This neighborhood seemed dead to Toby. Yet, he could no

When Marcus reached the lake, Toby had been waiting for him.Marcus approached the banished fighter, standing side by side with him. Even though there was not a visible line separating the two, they were well aware of an invisible boundary between them.As the head alpha stopped at an arm apart from Toby, the banished fighter wasted no time in telling Marcus.‘You should talk to your mom.’The head alpha seemed lost, ‘Why?’‘Asking her about the man named Nabeel.’‘Your friend?’Toby’s wolf nodded, letting out a huff. The banished fighter continued, ‘Nabeel holds the key to eliminate Raiz one time and for all.’‘How do you know it?’ Marcus sounded skeptical.Toby then proceeded to tell him what he had heard.Starting from the day he and Nabeel started hunting down the witch that provided the scent-killing meds to Raiz’s rogue pack to the day Nabeel found Camille. Yet, the banished beta excluded the part where Nabeel faced the accusation as The Alpha Killer.Toby would leave that for L

“Why did Raiz not release them after your father had died? Is there something we don’t know about? If only because Nabeel attacked him so he wouldn’t release Camille, then it’s too hard to understand.”Marcus nodded, humming in reply.“Their little ally definitely had something tricky. Or maybe one of them did not abide by the deal.”“You mean?” Marcus mumbled.“It might be Raiz or Nabeel that broke the deal. It was either Nabeel did not kill your father, or Raiz had done something bad to Camille, which led to Nabeel attacking Raiz.”Marcus laughed a bit, “That’s what I thought! And, for Nabeel has just found Camille, it should mean that the second part is more likely to be the truth.”“You trust Nabeel?” Giselle exclaimed, "What unexpected news!"Nabeel was the biggest suspect being Marcus’s father’s murderer. Yet, the head alpha not only did not angry at him but also did he believe Nabeel was innocent.Marcus sighed and nodded, “I shouldn’t have, right?”Giselle shook her head, “No.

“He used Camille to force you to kill my father?” Marcus asked.The banished beta heavily nodded, “Camille was pregnant at the time.”Marcus gasped. He was taken aback by the sudden piece of information.Camille was pregnant at the time. It was understandable if Nabeel had chosen her over Nathan.“He had her hostage. He kept her somewhere I didn’t know. I tried to find her. I tried to rescue her. I even used my power to misuse the trackers for my personal need. However, I still couldn’t find Camille. My power has its limit. I couldn’t send out many of our trackers, or else the council would know about Camille,” Nabeel said with the utmost sorrow, “Even more, Raiz, who was constantly bugging me with his killing plan, did not help at all.”The banished beta had to stop for a second to take a deep breath in.“That was when I came to your parents, asking for them to approve my marriage to Camille. If so, I could tell them that my fiancee had been kidnapped, then they could have sent more
