Weekend soon arrived.Their friends gathered at their apartment as agreed. Giselle was a little bit inconvenient with her cast on so they decided to celebrate at Marcus’s apartment instead.They even showed up early to help prepare.At the time, there were Fiona, Sarah, and Giselle in the kitchen. Marcus and his friends were off to the grocery store to buy some more. Anne excused herself since she had caught the flu.Giselle and her friends were talking about her wedding. Her friends seemed a little bit sad since they could not attend their friend’s wedding ceremony. They had promised to be each other bridesmaids. Unintentionally, Giselle broke the promise.It was not like she had a choice. She did not want to do this wedding, either. Not to mention, this wedding had been held in such a hush way. What could you expect from a two-week preparation of a wedding? She could not think of her guesses list in a proper way.Giselle thought about it a

Marcus was clearly unforeseen this. He was taken aback by her suggestion.“What do you mean?” Marcus asked back.He seemed to stiffen up by Giselle's question. All of sudden, unexplainable fear crept inside of Marcus. He did not expect Giselle to say this. He had agreed to try to work things out with her. He really meant it. He was making an effort to do it.Not gonna lie, Marcus had even thought that he could do it. Eventually, he would not be grieving about Tina like this anymore. His heart would be free someday. And when the day came, he would make amendments to Giselle. He would try to love the omega the way he had loved Tina.However, although Giselle was the one who had suggested that they should try, she did not think it necessary anymore.“I’m sorry for what I had said. I suggested we should try first, but now, I’m the one who runs away from it. Still, Marcus, it would be the best.”Troublesome as it might sou

A year later.August.Marcus woke up feeling hazy. But not as haziness as a few days ago. He could be sure his rut had died down.He opened his eyes but quickly squinted them as a sharp stingy feeling shot straight to his brain. At the same time, his head was having a bad migraine. Even when he felt a sticky sensation and a disgusting smell of whatever the hell it was, Marcus could not find the strength within himself to pick him up to clean the mess that was his.After a good while, Marcus heaved out. He opened his eyes to the cold greyish ceiling, blinking a few times. His mind was completely blank of thought.His wolf felt tired, too. It looked dull.A year later.Unlike omegas, which had their suppressant, alpha did not. So, Marcus had two choices. One was to be with Giselle; the other was to spend his rut alone.The first choice obviously did not his cup of tea. For Giselle still had her obstacle of him touching her. It to

Dinner with Lady Bailey was a little bit awkward. Nonetheless, you could not blame Lady Bailey since the former Luna herself was not fond of these types of gatherings ever since her husband passed away.These gatherings only brought her back sad memory of a time in her life that she could never take back.Yet, she wanted to see Marcus and Giselle. It had been a while since the two moved in together. Dorris knew there was an obstacle between the two. However, the former Luna believed in her instinct that they were best for each other.Their actions and their chemistry toward each other tonight had said louder than words.The dinner had been over. Giselle and Marcus were preparing the fruit for dessert while Dorris Bailey excused herself so the two could be comfortable around each other.Giselle was washing the strawberries when she felt herself engulfed in a warm hug. She got startled, turning her face sideways, surprised to find Marcus was leaning

Bang!A horrifying sound of a gunshot pierced through the silence of the night. One of the two older alphas did not use the silencer, so the sound was pretty noticeable.Ben and Toby quickly jolted up from their hideout. The two young alphas rushed to the edge of the rooftop, so they could jump to the other building. The nearest building's rooftop was only a meter away. If the two were lucky enough, they would have made it.Bang!Another deafened piercing sound of a gunshot was heard again.Unluckily, Ben got shot in his right ankle, making it hard for him to move on his will. At this point, jumping to another building seemed impossible to them then.As the two older alphas got nearer and nearer, Toby clenched his teeth. He had no other way better than shifting.It broke the rule but was necessary at the moment.“You’re crazy!” Ben exclaimed.However, Toby had shifted completely. The young fighter was s
