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
ElaineMy mood lightens more upon hearing this from Liz. “Oh really?!” Liz chuckled. “Yes, really! Good thing he was available. He was pretty in demand these days.” I smiled, feeling grateful for how reliable Liz was. A flashback played out vividly in my head as I thought of the scene that led me to this.Flashback…I called my close friend Liz to rant about the upcoming humiliation awaiting me at the Alpha Conference. As expected, Liz was livid. I took a deep breath and dropped the bomb I had been thinking about since I got out of the hospital. “I am planning to divorce Tristan soon.” Liz turned silent for a while as the tension hovered above us. She let go of a deep sigh before speaking again. “I really hate Tristan for what he did to you. Believe me, I will support you on this up to the end. But you have to think this through. Once you choose this route, you have to stand by it. At your state, are you ready to face the consequences?” Liz asked softly, her concern palpable.I
