ElaineThe message came as a huge surprise. I didn't have the habit of giving out my number, so I was pretty sure Trevor got mine from another wolf.As I read the text message over and over again, I remembered how he jumped into the water to save me without thinking twice. I tried to squeeze my brain, trying to remember who Trevor was, but I failed. He sounded like he knew me on a deep, personal level, and yet my mind didn't recognize him. Do I really know him? Or is he just one of those people who wanted to manipulate and take advantage of my position as the Luna of Wolfsilver Pack?And yet, I could feel that he wasn’t a fraud. I felt his sincerity when he checked up on me. His eyes could never lie. I could swear that I felt his genuine care for me.Somehow, there’s a feeling inside of me that no matter what, I should offer my utmost gratitude to him. I owed him my life. If not for him, I would be dead by now. So, accepting his invitation to
ElaineTristan had done it again. He made a total fool of me again.I tried to take my mind off what happened and focus on my driving, but it was a bit hard. I remembered Tristan's text last night, about how he begged me to give him time to explain himself. Was everything a joke to him? Did he think my time and attention were worthless?I began to question myself on what I saw in him that made me head over heels in love, as Liz described me to be. Because honestly, I couldn't see any desirable qualities in him. Was it his looks and position? Nah, I wasn't the kind of woman who would fall for that. Kindness and thoughtfulness? Definitely off the chart considering how he left me to drown in the pool last night. I was sure it wasn't faithfulness or fidelity either, as he was proud to parade his mistress for everyone to see. So, what could it be possibly? What did I see in Tristan that made me fall for him?At the back of my mind, something was telling me not to worry about it anymore, as
ElaineI spun around to see Megan's pouting face, and I felt annoyance simmering inside me. Tristan stood beside her, frowning. I was stunned to see him upset and a thought echoed in my mind. Wait, was he jealous? I couldn't help but scoff. If ever, he didn’t have the rights. First, I didn’t do anything wrong and second, he denounced this right when he had an affair with Megan. Also, the memory of him leaving me waiting earlier for no reason flooded back, fueling my irritation even more.Ugh, the nerve of this guy! “Your husband is waiting for your explanation, Luna Elaine. You seemed having a great time with this gentleman here.” Megan wore a smug expression as if she had won something, but I refused to let her have that satisfaction. She was clearly accusing me of doing something inappropriate and I needed to address the situation delicately, lest it escalate further. I took a deep breath, trying to maintain my composure despite the frustration bubbling within. With a chuckle, I
ElaineI tried my best to stay calm as I faced my cheating husband. His frustration was evident in his contorted expression, with a few of his veins bulging from his neck. He glared at me, his hands trembling while still gripping my arm. I forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts in the middle of all of this. Tristan’s anger was way out of line. I should be the one who should be angry because of everything he did. And yet, here I was in a situation where Tristan was the one demanding an explanation. Really, huh? Where did he get all the nerves to act like a victim after everything he put me through? "Let me go, will you?" I demanded as I turned to him. We stared each other down, facing each other’s resolve, but I refused to be intimidated by him."No, I won’t," Tristan raised his voice, "Especially after what you did back there. What’s that all about, huh?"The sound he made while talking was almost like he was growling at me. Tristan looked like he was abou
ElaineI woke up with a huge smile on my face, pleased by the scenery outside my window. The morning's peace and quietness filled me with satisfaction. Not having to deal with Tristan at the start of the day gave me an unexpected sense of freedom and comfort, something I never realized could be so refreshing. Feeling content, I washed up in the hotel's bathroom, humming along to my favorite song.I checked my phone afterward. The smile vanished instantly seeing tons of messages from Tristan. I opened one, and immediately regretted it as it read its content.“Where are you? Who are you with? I’m getting worried here.” I rolled my eyes, annoyed by his pretense. I knew he only cared for his mistress, and his treatment of me was just a game. I tossed the phone into my bag and scoffed. "I'm not gonna fall for that anymore."Disregarding Tristan’s messages, I decided to forget everything and avoid ruining my day. I headed to the hotel’s restaurant and ordered a fancy meal. When it arrive
Elaine"Not again," I muttered to myself, taking a deep breath. This usual scene, one I never wished to see again, always managed to find its way back to me. It was as if Tristan and Megan were tied into my life that I could never get away from and honestly, it was draining all the patience I had in me. Tristan's odd stares always got on my nerves. He had this passionate gaze that contradicted his actions, but I no longer believed in those looks. His words also stated otherwise. It was as if the only thing constant to him were his lies.“Luna Elaine! We’ve been worried sick about you!!” Megan’s tone was dripping with false concern. Seriously, was she some kind of leech? She always seemed to attach herself to my husband whenever he went. Well, it wasn't that I was jealous or something. I couldn’t care less, to be honest. I just knew that trouble was brewing whenever she was around."Oh, it’s you again. Have you moved here already? You always seem to be around Wolfsilver," I uttered sa
ElaineTrust. Did I just fucking hear my husband advise me about trusting him? My breath became shallow as the annoyance kept building inside me. Tristan’s response was irritatingly wise, leaving me at a loss for words. I glared at his face, wishing I could wipe that smug smile off of it. When the moon goddess showered all the audacity and shamelessness in the world, Tristan seemed to have caught them all.“How dare you lecture me about trust!” I wanted to say, but someone from the crowd raised his voice before I could muster the courage to say it in his face. “It’s true Luna. Miss Megan was here for an important meeting.” Another voice echoed in agreement, "Yeah! No one suspected anything like that of Miss Megan and Alpha Tristan. It’s purely professional between them.”Tristan and Megan exchanged satisfied looks and smirked, their gaze fixed on me, waiting for my response. Megan raised her eyebrows, displaying a smile of victory as the embarrassment faded from her face. “Now th
TristanI raised my hand, signaling the bartender to pour me another glass of tequila.The bartender heaved a sigh. “But sir, you seem like you've had enough,” he said, looking unsure.I slammed my glass down and gave him a nasty look. “I’M GONNA PAY YOU DOUBLE. JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND POUR ME ANOTHER ONE.”A few people in the bar turned to look at me, and they began to gossip about me. This made me become so irritable. What the hell was wrong with them? Was this the first time they saw a drunken wolf?So, I scoffed.“Now, what? Get the hell out of here if you don’t want to see someone drunk. This is a bar, you dummies.”They paused, unsure how to react to my bold actions. I leaned back in my seat, projecting confidence and superiority. What they thought of me didn’t matter much; they were like background characters in the story of my life.The bartender glanced at me warily, but I dismissed his worry with a wave of my hand. His thoughts held little importance to me. After all, I am
TristanI felt the oozing lust in the way Elaine looked at me. But at the same time, I caught a glance of tremendous desperation in her. That broke me into pieces.“I promise. We will get through this night together,” I responded.Elaine smiled. There was still some sense left in her. I knew it was the drug that was doing this to her.Soon enough, Elaine folded her knees and held onto her chest. The pain struck her.“I feel warm inside… so warm that I can’t take this anymore… help me, Tristan.” Then violently, Elaine pulled my arms into a hug.After years of struggling through a life without her, the embrace that felt like home touched my skin again.“Your hug is like water quenching decades of thirst in my body.” Her breathing became heavy in my ears.Elaine pulled the back of my head.“Hey, handsome.” Her voice started to sing a different melody. Elaine now wore a tune of seduction.I instantly pulled away from her embrace.“No, Elaine. Stop this.”Earlier, Elaine was begging desper
TristanI carried Elaine until we reached the camp. I put her inside our quarters before confronting Elsa. Elsa was completely calm. From the outside, we could hear Elaine’s agony, but these wolves seemed to have no care at all. By the way they stood and portrayed strange calmness, it was like everyone expected it to happen.“Something is off about your medicine!” I shouted at Elsa. “You’re not deaf to hear those screams, are you? Why are you standing here doing nothing?!”Elsa suddenly jumped from the porch, launching at me. It was good that my reflexes were fast enough to dodge the attack. I jumped away from her group.“What the fuck was that?” I exclaimed. Ruther and Mike didn’t bother to help and just watched.The second I removed my eyes from Elsa, she launched another surprise attack. This time, I saw an injection in her hand. I jumped to the side, dodging another shot.“Stop running away,” Elsa told me.Elsa twisted her left ankle and pounced on my whole body. She managed to
TristanI looked at Elaine, checking every detail of her body. Clearly, the exhaustion in her body was pushed to its limits. We made it up to the last second. The training was a success. But at what cost?“Elaine… Can you hear me?” I asked her.I felt something was odd with her body heat. I touched Elaine’s forehead using the tip of my fingers. It was as hot as a kettle. Her body temperature was soaring high.“This is bad…” I muttered, turning my head around, seeking Elsa and Ruther.Elaine started moaning because of the fever. She twitched her body in different directions. I saw how Elaine clenched her fist, battling against the pain in her.“Elsa!” I called out to her.I gently placed Elaine’s head on the soft pillow and grabbed the towel I threw earlier. Then I soaked it deep into the water in the sink, ran back to Elaine, and placed it on her forehead.“Don’t worry, you’re gonna be alright.” I carefully wiped her head down to her neck, hoping the wet towel would help with the high
TristanA soul binding? I have never heard such a word. I never knew such a thing existed in our timeline.I put my hands on my head, feeling helpless, not knowing what to do or how to help. Is it even safe? Will it throw Elaine into danger?“This is the most vital part of being a Silvermare. Finally, her wolf wholeheartedly accepted Elaine.”“I don’t understand a single word you say. But this could kill Elaine. She’s not ready to morph. She’s not ready for this.”Elsa countered with a much louder voice.“It wasn’t you who would decide that. It’s her wolf.”Elsa has a point. I have no right to any part of Elaine’s life. I wish to know what’s running inside Elaine’s wolf. Why did she choose Elaine over everybody else? Her gift only leads her to more pain.Elaine continued the process. I could barely stand the sight. The groans of pain drilled into my head. I tried to turn away my gaze.My heart ached and pierced right through my soul. I slammed my arms against the ground in frustration
TristanElaine suddenly emitted a beaming light coming out from her body. Those bursting beams penetrated the whole area. We took more steps away from Elaine. Elsa and Ruther stood tall in front of Elaine who levitated more into the ground. Probably the same height as the tall trees around us. Fear succumbed to my heart. I was scared and confused as hell. I’m like a child witnessing some things only adults could understand. “ELAINE!” I called out to her. My veins popped on my neck as I tried to scream her name. Her eyes were glowing yellow, shining so much that it made my eyebrows scrunched protecting my eyes. Elsa smirked. While Ruther remains unshaken. These two looked at Elaine like they had witnessed this kind of stuff before. “Now, you will see a Silvermare’s true form,” Elsa proudly declared. Elaine flows with the air. She dances with it. Elaine totally lost will over her own body. The place soon filled with more blazing lights, sparkling magically on the river and any li
TristanThe waterfall crashed down with so much force. It had overpowered many before, and now, it was pushing Elaine to her limit.“10 more minutes!” I shouted as loud as I could. “It’s just a blink of an eye, and you’ll be done!”From where I stood, I could see how much she was struggling. Her whole body was shaking, her legs barely able to keep her up. She was trying so hard to stay standing, but I knew she was almost at her breaking point.At that moment, I had to accept the truth.Ten minutes probably felt like forever to her. The training had reached its hardest point, and Elaine just couldn’t hold on much longer. No matter how badly she wanted to, her body was giving out.Hope left in me. I know as Elaine’s mate, there was nothing more to do. I threw the towel in already, as a way of saying we did well at this training. This is brutal enough for Elaine’s physique. I knew from the start it was an impossible task. “That’s enough,” I shouted at Elsa. I went down to the water, tr
ElaineAnother boost of energy surged through my body, but exhaustion was creeping in. I knew 30 minutes wasn’t that long anymore. I was so close to the finish line. Yet, the relentless force of the waterfall felt heavier than before, pressing down on my shoulders like a mountain. My muscles screamed in protest, and my breathing turned ragged.My knees started to bend, trembling under the weight of my own exhaustion. I clenched my fists, digging my nails into my palms, desperate to keep myself upright. I couldn’t fail now. Not when I had come this far. Not when Tristan was watching, his eyes filled with silent encouragement.“20 more minutes. Hang in there a little longer, please.” Maybe Tristan saw how I was about to lose consciousness that’s why he’s yelling desperately. I know I have little to no strength to continue. But I am almost there at the finish line. At that point, I decided to call out to my spirit wolf. “Neeya…” I whispered at the back of my head. My body lost balanc
ElaineHis words mean a lot to me. It added some boost to my energy. This training improved my relationship with Tristan. We learned to work like a real team. We did well until the first 3 hours. My knees gave up on me again. Elsas stood up from her spot and yelled. “3 hours wasted, Elaine. You let the 3 hours of hard work be taken away by that fall.”Her yelling added another weight like usual. Soon, my mind and body won't work as one. As I see the disappointed face of Elsa, my mind sends signals of pressure and discomfort. My body reacted along with Elsa’s words. It lost half of its strength because I was nervous. Under the waterfall, I feel like a warrior battling for the lives of others. As long as I don’t master this special gift as a Silvermare, more lives will be put in danger. This is war already. So I gathered my strength again and stood tall. I didn’t guard the time. Until I realized how much time had passed when Ruther called out Tristan. “You did it, Alpha Tristan.” T
ElaineThe next day came, and everyone acted like nothing happened. But I could somehow sense Ruther’s awkward stance towards us. Meanwhile, Mike was left in the cabin like usual.I tried to read Tristan’s mind. But he was strangely quiet throughout our journey. I’m not sure if everyone still dwells in the story of Elsa’s past. I was staring behind her. My heart aches for Elsa. I could definitely not handle her tragedy if that was me. Truly, as a she-wolf, Elsa is an admirable lady for her strength and resilience. “I forgot to tell you something…” Elsa suddenly speaks, still leading our way to the waterfalls. “What is it?” I humbly asked. “If you can’t pass the training today, I believe this has to stop. It’s gonna be pointless anyway.”Tristan suddenly stopped from walking. I bumped into his huge back. “Did I hear it right?” Tristan asked. Elsa didn’t say anything. Tristan chased her. It’s not just him. Even I was shocked to hear about this last training. Though my body recovere
