ElaineI couldn’t help but smirk at the sight of Tristan standing before me. His face was etched with what looked like genuine concern. But concern wasn’t something I’d ever associate with him. Not after everything I’d been through because of him. I may have lost my memory, but through some unexplainable phenomenon, my heart still remembers.A bunch of lies, gaslighting, and manipulation had cemented him as someone whose words I could no longer believe. Whatever this was about, it wasn’t my problem anymore. I’m done with him, so done with anything related or connected to him no longer interests me. So, I just rolled my eyes at him and was about to walk away. “Elaine, wait!” he shouted.“Now what?” I uttered irritatingly. Tristan’s lips pressed into a thin line. Then he took a step closer. “Please listen to me. This is serious. You’re in great danger.”“Danger?” I repeated sarcastically with my brow raised. “From what, exactly? Your temper tantrums? Your inflated ego?”“Elaine—” he
TristanElaine turned around. And her expression softened instantly as her gaze fell on Trevor. He moved toward her. His movements looked annoyingly effortless. He was acting like the hero again. Boo hoo! Before I could say a word, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. His gesture was so disgustingly tender that it made my stomach turn.“Are you okay?” Trevor turned to Elaine and she nodded in return. His hand was now cupping the side of her face while Elaine smiled lovingly at him. The scene made my blood boil. In the past months, Elaine never showed me this tenderness. She was always sarcastic and cold to me. She was like a wild animal who was ready to snap and attack me every time I got near her.But with this bastard? Fuck! Then she smiled up at him with the kind of affection I hadn’t seen from her since the accident. Her stare was almost magical, focused entirely upon Trevor as if he were the only wolf alive. And in that moment, I hated him more tha
ElaineThe soft hum of the car’s engine filled the air as I leaned back in my seat. I was enjoying this rare moment of peace. Trevor glanced at me curiously. His presence always seemed to put me at ease, no matter how chaotic my thoughts had been throughout the day. It was like he was always there to give me some sort of a break. And I love that moment with him every time. “Busy day?” he asked. “Or did Nancy give you a hard time again?”I chuckled at his question. It felt good to laugh after the long day I’d had. “Believe it or not,” I responded as I shook my head, “Nancy’s been nice to me lately.”Trevor raised an eyebrow. I could see a playful grin was now tugging at his lips. “Nancy? Nice? Are we talking about the same person?”“I know, right?” I laughed, then shrugged my shoulders. “I’m shocked too. She barely even uses sarcasm with me anymore. It’s like she’s a completely different person. The office has been… well, peaceful.”Trevor let out a mock gasp. “Peaceful? Are you sur
ElaineEverything happened so fast. The roar of the car’s engine filled my ears. The sound became louder and louder until it drowned out everything else. Trevor’s voice reached me but my body wouldn’t move. It was like I was frozen in place and grounded by sheer terror. My eyes locked onto the blinding headlights of the black car speeding toward me. And all I could do was shut my eyes and brace for the worst.At that moment, I thought that was it. That everything would end here in this horrifying blur of sound and light. But just as I felt the rush of air from the speeding car, someone grabbed me. Then, everything changed in a flash. A strong hand grabbed me and pulled me back so hard that I lost my balance and fell. We hit the ground with a thud that left me breathless. The pavement was hard and rough under me, but I barely noticed the sting of scraped skin through the adrenaline rush.I could hear the sounds of the car screeching past mixing with gasps and shouts from nearby. I s
ElaineThe doctor clicked his pen and tucked it back into his pocket before he looked at Trevor. “You’ve dislocated your shoulder. It’s not severe, but you’ll need to rest. While your healing abilities are helping, you still need to take it easy to make a full recovery.” The doctor's face was so serious as he was explaining his condition. Meanwhile, I turned to Trevor and narrowed my eyes at him as I crossed my arms. “You heard the doctor. So don’t be stubborn. Follow his advice.”Trevor chuckled. Then he reached up to rub the back of his head shyly. “Yes, ma’am,” he responded playfully.The doctor gave me a small smile before leaving the room. I waited until the door clicked shut behind him before stepping closer to Trevor’s bed. He was sitting upright. His injured shoulder was held carefully still. But his playful grin hadn’t faded and his eyes was still observing me as I moved. I sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to gently run my fingers through his hair. “Do you feel a
Elaine “Liz!” I screamed as soon as I saw her standing in the doorway. I rushed over to hug Liz tightly. She hugged me back and squeezed me just as hard. But of course, Liz wasn’t one to let a moment go without teasing. She pulled back slightly and then smirked as she darted her eyes toward Trevor, who was sitting on the hospital bed with a sheepish grin. “So… are we not doing hospital etiquette anymore? Shouldn’t you two get a room instead of making out here?” “It’s not like that!” I exclaimed, trying to sound composed but failing miserably.My cheeks flushed instantly. I stepped back and shot her a look, which only made her laugh. Trevor chuckled too, though he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. He was clearly trying to suppress his own embarrassment.“Sure, it’s not,” she teased, crossing her arms with a knowing grin. “And perhaps someone owes me some tea. Because if you both tell me you’re just friends, I’ll definitely walk out.”“Fine. But let me apologize in advance, ok
TristanDue to what happened, I had no choice but to call it a night. The thought of going home alone to Wolfsilver PAck gnawed at me. It was a bitter reminder of the emptiness waiting for me. As usual, I’d probably end the night with a bottle of whiskey in my hand. Or perhaps asked for Megan’s company for a momentary pleasure which I was sure she wouldn’t say no to. Well, this is my life now after my stubborn wife left me. She’d rather give herself to another wolf instead of fixing things with me.A smirk tugged at my lips as I climbed into my car. “Pathetic,” I muttered under my breath. I wasn’t used to admitting how miserable I was, even to myself, but the truth had a way of creeping in during quiet moments like this. The night had already settled in by the time I pulled up to the Alpha House. The lights of the grand mansion spilled onto the driveway but the warmth it offered felt…well…hollow. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. I stared at the proof of my riches fo
Elaine“Alright, you two lovebirds,” Liz said with a smirk. She was standing at the door with her bag slung over her shoulder. “I’m heading out. But I’ll be back tomorrow to help with Trevor’s discharge papers.”I smiled warmly at her. I was grateful as always for her support. “Thank you, Liz. I mean it. Be careful on your way home.”Liz turned to give me a playful wink. “Shouldn’t that be what I’m telling you instead? You two seem to be the ones attracting all the trouble lately. Maybe everyone else should be careful around me for once.”I rolled my eyes as I laughed softly. “Fair point. See you tomorrow.”Liz disappeared down the hallway with a cheerful wave and left Trevor and me alone. The room grew quieter without her lively presence. But the silence wasn’t uncomfortable. Instead, it felt warm and intimate as Trevor’s eyes turned to me.“Elaine, can I ask you a favor?” he asked.“Anything,” I replied, then walked closer to his bed. “What do you need?”He hesitated for a moment. I
ElaineTrevor made an effort to prepare a warm meal early in the morning. He got up early, worried that I would go to work with just a cup of coffee. His fried bacon, sunny-side-up egg, and sandwich with mayo and fresh lettuce completely filled me up. I gave me enough energy for the day. While I ate, he sliced some sweet apples for dessert.I was about to make some coffee, but Trevor didn’t allow me. He said my stomach needed a change from my usual routine.Instead of black coffee, he poured me a glass of fresh milk with powdered cocoa. It was refreshing. I felt like a child having breakfast before school.We were both getting ready for work, but Trevor still managed to find time to clean and wash the dishes while I wiped the table with the cloth he handed me.“Getting spoiled like this isn’t so bad,” I joked while wiping the table. I knew I was smiling again, like usual. It was the kind of smile only Trevor could bring to my face.I could understand why other she-wolves were jealous.
TristanAfter everything I had witnessed, I knew I had to do something. My mind was filled with countless thoughts about the conflict within my own territory. I knew I had to act, or I would lose my head in front of everyone.I had no idea how long I had been staring blankly at the empty seats inside the council room. But soon, I decided to head back to my office. I didn’t want to go home. As much as possible, I wanted to learn more about the welfare of the pack. I had been left behind, so I needed to adapt and make everyone realize I was still someone they could rely on as a leader.On my way to my office, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. I stepped inside one of the cubicles, relieving myself after holding it in since the meeting. Until I heard a group of wolves enter the bathroom.“I admire your patience, Gamma Jeff.” From the deep pitch of his voice, I knew right away that Gamma Ben was the one speaking.“If I were in your shoes, I would have totally lost it. It’s impossible
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
