Elaine
The 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
Elaine“So, Miss Elaine… Do you like it?” Beth, the real estate agent, asked me.I smiled widely as I walked around the living room. “It’s lovely!”The apartment wasn't too small or too big. It felt like everything was within my reach. The vibrant color of the curtain and the cozy look of the light brown couch caught my attention. The mini plant in the corner of the huge glass window pleased my heart.I sighed and whispered to myself, “This is what a real home feels like.”The unit was ready for occupancy. Everything inside was carefully selected, and the color scheme was thoughtfully chosen. It pleased the eyes of any occupant. I didn’t need to stress about buying things for the house.“I guess it did save me a lot of time,” I thought, smiling. I approached Beth and expressed my happiness. “This is more than what I had in mind. Anybody would take this place in a heartbeat.”Beth smiled warmly and walked closer to me, her eyes sparkling.“To be honest, this apartment suits your perso
TristanOnce the final decision was made, the council members quickly moved on. They gathered their notes and folders and stacked them on the table without a second thought. Their focus was elsewhere. Their movements were smooth and natural. Again, they acted as if I wasn’t even there.Not one of them looked my way. Not one of them showed the slightest hint of interest or even acknowledgment after the meeting ended. It was as if I was just another wolf sitting among them. That I was present only out of formality and nothing more.As they got ready to leave, a tight feeling settled in my chest. I couldn’t ignore it. My pride as Alpha wouldn’t let me sit there in silence. I couldn’t hold back anymore. So, I raised my hand and tried to get their attention.“I don’t appreciate being made to feel like I’m no longer needed here.”My voice was calm enough but I am sure they all realized the firmness and authority I wrapped beneath those words. I might be disregarded but I am still the one
TristanThe morning air was crisp as I woke before dawn. The faint glow of early light barely crept through my window. I stretched, running a hand through my tousled hair My mind was already set. Today, I had made a decision, one I hadn’t made in a long time.Pushing back the covers, I rose from the bed and moved through the familiar routine of getting ready. The mirror showed a face I hardly knew. I saw a wolf with tired eyes, a hard jaw, and a shadow of the Alpha I once was. For too long, I had stayed away and neglected my duty. My mind had been full of thoughts of Elaine and all the mistakes I made and the things I could no longer fix. I forgot my responsibilities while drowning in my past.But now, the divorce was final. The last connection was broken, and nothing could hold me back anymore. Today, I decided to pick up the pieces and focus on the work I had neglected for so long. For today, it was time to get back that Alpha side of me. My shoes tapped against the wooden floor a
ElaineSpending time with Trevor always made me happy. Dinner was wonderful. We decided to go to a nice French restaurant for a change. While we both loved Chinese food, we agreed to try something different this time.I twirled the last bite of pasta around my fork and enjoyed the creamy sauce. Across from me, Trevor leaned back in his chair. He was looking happy and relaxed. The soft light from the restaurant’s chandelier made his eyes shine.I felt my cheeks warm. He looked so handsome in my eyes! "You always do that," he said with a small smile, looking at my plate.I tilted my head. "Do what?""Save the best bite for last."I laughed. "Of course! The last bite should be the best one, right?"Trevor chuckled. "That makes sense. Maybe I should start doing that too.""Or maybe you should stop eating so fast," I teased.He laughed louder this time, shaking his head. "Hey, it’s not my fault. The steak was really good."I smiled and felt warm inside. Everything about this night felt ri
Trevor"Good morning, Sir Trevor!" A she-wolf from the distant desk enthusiastically greeted me.As usual, these she-wolves never let me have a peaceful morning at work. One of them approached."Are you free later for lunch? A new store just opened right in front of our building. Wanna check it out?"She leaned her body against my arm. I slowly pulled away and freed myself from her grip."Well… I already told you, I have a girlfriend. And she wouldn't be impressed with the attention you're giving me." I chuckled playfully.“Aww…But it’s just lunch—”"Sorry, ladies, you came too late. Someone already owns my heart."The she-wolves surrounding me pouted."Come on… saying yes just once wouldn’t hurt her feelings."Awkwardly, I tried to change the topic."If you want, I can set up a date with some guys I know from our sister company. I’m sure they’d love every single one of you.""But no one will ever beat you.""YEAH!" another one exclaimed. "I mean, who wouldn’t want a guy like you? YOU
TristanMy hands shook as I held the piece of paper I had received on my desk.“This can’t be real.”I checked every corner of the paper to verify the legitimacy of the signature and the mail. Seeing the real signature and stamp made it even more convincing. At that moment, reality hit me like a slap.“It’s over…” My soul whispered to me.Yes, Elaine was gone. She was no longer tied to my life, and this divorce paper served as proof. I had lost this battle, despite doing everything to win. My hands slowly pulled the paper into my palms and crumpled it with all my might.How had I let myself lose my wife? The thought alone was unbearable. Maybe it really was too late. Maybe, at some point, Elaine’s decision had been right. My anger crawled through my veins, surfacing in my office. I growled before slamming my arms onto the desk, which seemed fragile under the force of my rage. I shoved everything in front of me…pens, papers, even the glass of water and sent them crashing to the floor.
ElaineThanks to Trevor, my normal routine was back on track. Those little things that always warmed me inside were finally back. His presence made everything brighter. Trevor was finally home. And this home finally felt complete.“Let’s eat,” I said, smiling at Trevor.Trevor’s smile suddenly faded. I looked at him, wanting to ask what was wrong.“Umm… you know…” he said hesitantly. “About what happened.”“Shhh.” I stepped closer and hugged him. “It’s alright now, my love. Let’s leave that in the past.”I saw the relief in his eyes as he hugged me back.“I’ll try to be better… for us,” Trevor assured me.“You’re always doing your best, my love.”Trevor pressed a sweet kiss to my forehead and thanked me.“Did you order the usual?”I nodded and carefully laid out the food on the table. He went to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed some plates for both of us. As he carefully served the food, I noticed a change in his smile. And I knew mine had changed too. Our happiness was intertwined. Wi
ElaineFinally, after a long week, Sunday came. No office papers, no work, no pressure. Nothing beats the morning sun with nothing ahead in my time. It’s 8 o’clock. My body is already used to waking up early even during the weekend. A quiet and peaceful day. I played some soft music and decided to start my day doing some chores. During my work days, I didn't have plenty of time to clean. So usually, Sunday is a cleaning day. The soft music calmed my brain activity. Every worry left in me. For the first time in a week, I feel lighter and stress free. I started cleaning the living room. It didn’t have much mess since I was here all alone. The 2 rooms were also almost nothing to clean aside from the dust remaining in desks and shelves. Since I haven't been preparing food much lately. I only ordered food outside and was expecting a Chinese food delivery around lunch time. “A good day isn’t it?” I suddenly told my spirit wolf. “Hmmm. I’ll say a better day compared to what you had late
Elaine I didn’t know why I let myself mindlessly follow him. Tristan was walking in front of me all quiet. Even I didn't even dare to speak to him. Though my head has a lot of thoughts running tirelessly. “This clearly is not a good option either.” I told myself while staring at his back. But anyone with their right mind would do the same thing. Compared to those perverts from that bar, Tristan was a lesser jerk. Still, I couldn’t even imagine where I have to deal with him again. The truth annoys me too. No matter how badly I think of him, Tristan saved me tonight. Unfortunately, I knew saying my gratitude would be like swallowing a whole piece of watermelon. “What if Tristan did that so he could do something to me?” This question that randomly popped in my head sending shivers into my spine. My heart pounded like crazy. It was possible for this jerk to do that. He was basically the same as the perverts if I would give it a deep thought. I grabbed my purse so hard from nervousn
ElaineEveryone turned around immediately. My eyes widened seeing Tristan standing behind me. His eyes were glaring at the two guys. “What’s your problem?” The one with the red hair confronted Tristan. The other one smirked, clearly unbothered with his appearance. And yet, he shared what was on his mind. "Another wolf who wanted to play the hero.” Tristan scoffed. The guys didn’t like the smugness in his face and pushed him on his chest. “If you want to impress a woman, go find someone else. She’s ours.” Tristan removed the dust on his chest while smirking. “Unfortunately, I can’t do your request. This girl is mine.” He proudly said. “WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?!” I shouted inside my head. But I was smart enough to know I wasn’t supposed to go against Tristan. If I pushed Tristan like usual, these guys wouldn’t let me get away. So I remained tight on my lips. “Why don’t you guys find something else to have fun with? Aside from harassing my girl.” Tristan demanded them. He waved
