Elaine"Did you lose your tongue or something? Ahh, maybe you finally realize it’s the end for you!"Megan laughed, full of satisfaction. The sharp sound of her heels echoed as she walked around me. She circled like a predator and I was her pitiful prey. Her eyes drank in my suffering and obviously, enjoying every second of it.Melina stood nearby, arms crossed, silently watching as Megan continued to humiliate me."What? You think you own the world just because Tristan keeps chasing after you?"Without warning, she grabbed my hair and yanked it back. My scalp burned from the pain. She leaned in and whispered. Her voice dripped with venom."After getting bored of Tristan, now you're enjoying your time with his stupid brother? Are you loving your whore era?"Then, just as quickly, she let go, throwing my head back like I was nothing.Years of her tormenting me, years of her trying to destroy my life, had finally led to this moment.She smirked. "At least that dress makes you look decen
Elaine“IMPOSSIBLE! THERE’S NO WAY THAT COULD HAPPEN!” I exclaimed. “Come on, Liz! How could you fall for that lie so easily? A wolf cannot be paired with someone who’s already dead.”That kind of story doesn’t exist. At least, that’s what I thought at the time. Kneeling in front of Liz, I kept shouting,“It’s not real. They deceived you!”I was hopeful my voice would reach Liz and wake her up. I didn’t know how they convinced my friend to believe such a lie, but I wouldn’t let them have her so easily. Liz had to understand this unheard-of thing.“As they say, one’s true nature is always revealed at death’s door,” Melina interrupted. “It’s clear how deceptive, pathetic, and dishonest you are.”“Shut up! You’re the liar here!” My breathing turned sharp with anger. My glare bore into this deceptive woman who had turned my best friend against me. My arms trembled from the deep fury I felt for allowing Liz to go through this because of her.“I had no intention of attending the mating ritu
Trevor“Do you have any main suspects in mind? Someone you think could do this to your girlfriend?” the deputy officer asked. His voice was calm but his eyes were sharp as they locked on mine.I felt my chest tighten as the question hung in the air. I had thought long and hard about it, and there was only one wolf who came to mind. Someone who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. Someone who would sacrifice anything to reach her goal.“Melina Lewitt Lane,” I said, my voice firm. “She’s the only wolf who could possibly go this far.”I couldn’t control my fingers as I tapped them repeatedly on the desk. The sound of the tapping echoed in the quiet room, mixing with the quiet scratching of the officer’s pen as he wrote down my words.The officer didn’t look up. His pen kept moving, but his voice was steady when he asked, “Any particular reason why she would do this?”I swallowed hard and tried to push the frustration from my voice. It wasn’t hard to guess why she would do someth
TristanI ran faster than I ever had before. My legs burned, but I didn’t slow down. I tore through the forest and took the shortest route to reach Elaine. I didn’t stop to rest. Not even for a second. I pushed forward as if my life depended on it.The night bore witness to my determination. I would rescue her. No matter what.It would take me a while to reach the address Melina had texted me. That cunning bitch had taken Elaine away from everything. My mind filled with terrifying thoughts. But at the same time, I forced myself to stay focused. With sheer will and raw strength, I swore to save Elaine. I would bring back the life she deserved, even if it cost me my own."Hang on just a little longer, Elaine. I’m coming!" I whispered to myself."Is this the best you can do?! COME ON, RUN FASTER!" my wolf barked inside my head."I know!" I snapped back, slightly surprised.My wolf was usually the cool-headed one. I had no idea why the moon goddess had given him to me. We were complete op
Trevor"REALLY?!" Mr. Lyndon exclaimed.I couldn't sit still. The moment I heard the news, I shot up from my chair and rushed to stand beside Mr. Lyndon. The energy in the room shifted as everyone gathered around Roger, the high-ranking officer Mr. Lyndon had contacted for help.“We’ve investigated thoroughly and identified three possible locations where Elaine might be,” Roger revealed.“WHERE?!” I blurted out, my heart pounding.“Melina once owned several properties. She was a businesswoman, but for some unknown reason, her factories shut down. These places became abandoned warehouses.”“Are you saying they might be keeping Elaine there?” Lyndon asked, his tone sharp.“The possibility is high. On our way here, my men already raided Melina’s previous houses. All of them were empty.”A weight lifted off everyone’s shoulders. Finally, we had a real lead. I clenched my fists, my body thrumming with anticipation. We were close. So damn close.“How can we be sure they took Elaine to one o
ElaineEven with those wounds and bruises, I gathered my strength and sat on the ground. I knelt, facing Melina and Megan. With all my heart, I cried out my anger at them, causing the warehouse to shake slightly with my voice.“Why are you doing this to me?! WHY DO YOU KEEP PUSHING HELL INTO MY PEACEFUL LIFE?!”Tears clouded my eyes. I locked my intense glare on both of them, the ones who caused this mess, especially to my innocent best friend. She was out of this. But Melina decided to ruin not just their friendship but also Liz’s life.“Anger has turned your eyes blind. And now you feast on someone else’s suffering.”“Oh, please do not lecture us, bitch,” Megan exclaimed.She stood in front of me and grabbed my cheeks.“Hell wouldn’t be given if only you behaved well.”Megan slapped me.“You keep taking precious souls from our lives. First, you took away Shawn from his mother. Then you took away Tristan from me. And now, even your best friend’s happiness by killing her mate.”Megan
TrevorI lost control. I knew I had let go of the leash that was holding down the monster inside me. My sharp teeth sent a message to the wolves that saw my anger. My stomach starved for the flesh of those who harmed my lover. I found myself saying goodbye to my regular form.“Show yourselves!” I shouted, growling at the whole warehouse.Again, I let loose my horrifying growl as a last warning. My eyes turned grim, surrounding me with murderous intent.Slowly, my vision focused on the souls inside. With their worn-out clothes, dirt on their faces, and a lot of cardboard scattered on the ground, I knew that it was a haven for homeless wolves.“Hey! Who are you? Why are you—”But it didn't stop me. Knowing this place might be holding Elaine, I morphed into my wolf form, pouncing on the man who came up to me before he could even finish his words. In my head, he was stopping me from saving the love of my life. I stomped my huge paws on his shoulders and leaned my fangs against his face.A
Elaine“Who the hell is that?!” Melina exclaimed. The men in suits suddenly faced the door and waited for the intruder to come in.In a few moments, a large wolf with fur mixed with copper and black appeared from the shadows. Its low snarl, and sharp teeth, made Melina take a few steps away from the table. It sent a murderous intent. Melina’s men became aware of the situation.“Someone stop him!” Megan backed away in fear. She trembled upon seeing blood in her mouth. The shredded black clothes on its teeth indicated that the guards outside were already defeated.His majestic presence, and the proud aura he emitted, intimidated the enemies. He confidently barged inside, sending fear into their hearts. One of the men removed his medical mask. He stood bravely against the wolf.“I don’t like his confidence. This punk certainly looks down on us.” He tilted his head and shouted, “Take him down!”One of them dashed straight at the wolf. But it didn’t take even a second to bury its fangs int
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
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
