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.

    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

    Elaine“Are you ready?” Liz asked as she rolled down the car window. I smiled and nodded, opening the car door and settling into the passenger seat. “Absolutely, Bestie. Let’s go.”Liz chuckled and started driving us to the meeting place. Finally, Monday had come—a day I'd been eagerly anticipating. Today, I would meet the brave wolf willing to stand up for me and help me reclaim my freedom from my shitty marriage. “I can’t wait to meet this gentleman…” I murmured, feeling a rush of excitement. The thought of seeing Lucian Fox and knowing that I could soon be free from Tristan's grasp filled my heart with joy.“You seem to be in a very good mood, bestie,” Liz commented, glancing at me as I applied my lipstick using the rearview mirror.“Hmmm… probably because you saved me a lot of time by picking me up from home. Thanks, Bestie,” I replied with a chuckle.Liz smiled and responded jokingly, “Anything for you, baby.”Liz and I both laughed at how she said it with a manly voice, but t

    ElaineI was startled for a second by her sudden touch. It seemed like she had read my mind. I hated to admit it, but I felt jealous of his wife for having such a devoted husband. My forgotten memories led me to ask if Tristan had treated me in a similar way before.Did he?Nah, I guess not. Tristan was a jerk, and Liz’s testimony and his current actions proved that. Perhaps if he had, this divorce would never have happened or even been considered in the first place. I mean, who in the right mind would divorce a husband who his wife well?Liz didn’t let go of my arm while driving. She showed her support in such a loving way, and I appreciated it in my heart so much. After a few moments, Liz suddenly asked, “What’s the plan after the divorce? Anything in mind?”I paused for a moment, thinking about the future. “I’m not entirely sure yet. I just want to find myself again, you know? Maybe travel, focus on my career, or pick up a hobby I’ve always wanted to try. But mostly, I just want t

    ElaineUgh! Give me a break! I crossed my arms, feeling annoyed. Meanwhile, the smile on Liz’s face disappeared as she spoke. “Fancy meeting you here, Megan."Megan didn’t seem bothered. She leaned in for a kiss on Liz's cheeks, but Liz stepped back, causing Megan to pause and chuckle. Despite her laughter, I could see the hurt in Megan's eyes from Liz's rejection. I was about to interject, but Megan spoke first.“I guess time really changes everything. It’s like those times we laughed together never really existed. Isn’t it, Liz?”Liz scoffed and rolled her eyes, clearly not wanting to engage. Megan then turned to me with a fake smile. "Good to see you, Elaine."Liz scoffed again and moved closer, clearly upset by Megan's appearance, particularly her thick makeup. I couldn't help but smirk, knowing Liz was about to let loose.“Sorry, but I don’t keep snakes in my life,” Liz said, her tone cutting.Megan pretended to be hurt. “Me? A snake? What did I do to you, Liz? I don’t remember

    ElaineFinally, Wednesday came. I kept checking my watch. “Don’t you think we’re too early?”Liz swallowed the cake she was eating before responding. “An hour early isn’t bad. Remember, this lawyer isn’t just any lawyer you can get. And besides, I’m here to entertain you!”I took a sip from my latte, trying to calm my nerves. Today was the day I would meet the wolf who would stand with me in this battle. I poked Liz's arm to get her attention and asked, "Tell me, bestie, how did you find this guy?"Liz poured out the details while checking her phone. "Gamma Lucian became our family lawyer when my mom decided to get divorced. He’s the one who led my mom through everything. He’s a respected man and a perfect fit for the job. You’ll see once you talk to him."I took another sip from my latte. "Is that so..."I was about to ask another question when a deep, old voice came from behind. "Greetings, Liz."Startled, I turned around. "I apologize for that. Mind if I sit here?" the man asked.I

    ElaineGamma Lucian went back to writing, and a moment of silence settled between us. I observed him closely as he worked, noticing how seriously he took his job. Despite his serious demeanor, the passion in his eyes was burning, and I could feel it. Every question he asked wasn’t just about gathering details; he genuinely cared about my case. I was sensitive enough to know that.Unknowingly, my thoughts came out of my mouth. Leaning towards the table, I asked, “Gamma Lucian, would you tolerate a question not related to my case?”Lucian stopped writing and slowly lifted his chin to make eye contact with me. “Sure.”I sighed and told him, “It’s a bit of a personal question, so I hope you don’t mind.”The Gamma nodded and waited.“You know, in our society, divorce is not yet accepted. But why do you still choose this profession? What makes you pursue this unusual dream?”Gamma Lucian looked out the window and sighed. “Ahh... that question again...”I was a bit surprised to hear that fro

    Tristan“Why can’t I get it right?” I threw the pen I was holding, watching it shatter against the wall. I tried to act cool and calm, but Elaine’s confident smile and mockery kept replaying in my mind, making it impossible to focus on the papers in front of me. I yanked at my tie and took a deep breath.I was upset, wondering what went wrong. Elaine used to tremble in my presence and cower in fear whenever I was around. She was a weakling who listened to my every demand. But now, she was like a wild predator ready to devour her prey. What the hell happened? How did she end up like that?I growled and gripped the side of my desk. The poor, helpless puppy I used to control had turned into a mad dog, ready to bite me at any moment. My breathing became shallow as frustration ate at me. I couldn’t believe my puppet had gained the strength to cut her strings and move on her own. It felt like Elaine had been reborn. I couldn’t recognize my own wife anymore. She was a different person, some

    Tristan.Megan stared at Elaine as she walked away from the office. She rolled her eyes and approached me with a smile. I scoffed and yanked open my drawer. My hand trembled slightly as I grabbed the half-empty bottle of alcohol, and I took a long, burning swig. Megan took a deep breath."I could already sense something happened between you two."She walked behind me and started rubbing my shoulders. My muscles were knotted and tense, but I kept sipping the alcohol, not saying a word."Tell me, honey, what happened?"I couldn't hold back my foul mood. The bottle slammed down on my desk with a force that sent papers fluttering. My eyes narrowed, and my voice came out in a low, venomous hiss."That bitch! She thinks she’s a big shot now!"I grabbed the divorce papers from my desk and crumpled them in my hands."Elaine kept on embarrassing me. If she succeeds with this divorce, I'll definitely lose face with everyone."Megan suddenly leaned in and gave me a smooch on the cheek. Normally,

    ElaineI spent the whole day happily with Trevor. There was nothing more fulfilling than having him by my side. His presence brought me so much joy and a reason to fight. His love became a new hope for me. How could I let anything destroy us? We spent our time watching a movie, being cozy under a thick blanket and snacks he personally made. I feel like the world belongs to us.But there was one thing that I couldn’t get rid of my head.That was the reality of me being fated to another and I couldn't seem to do anything about it.At least, for now.“Are you okay?” Trevor asked as he wrapped his other arm around my shoulders. “Yeah. Why do you ask?” I responded calmly, not hinting that something was off with me. “You’re more quiet than usual.” Trevor worriedly stated. He paused the movie we were watching and focused his attention on me. I tried to let him know what happened at the mating ritual. But seeing his sweet smile made me unable to express my words. How could I let myself br

    TristanEver since the mating ritual, Elaine had taken over my thoughts like a parasite.Each day, my instincts became stronger. I couldn’t stop thinking about her, no matter how hard I tried not to. I couldn’t think of anything else except for her. It felt impossible to live my life while holding back these feelings. I never knew being away from my mate could be this difficult.Every second that passed made me want her even more.“What is she doing now? Is she with Trevor? Does she think about me the way I think about her?” I whispered to myself in the office.After the ritual, I could never feel calm again. Sitting still without her near me was impossible. Whenever I thought of Elaine, my mind felt broken. I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t act right. The bond between us was so strong it controlled everything I did.I wanted to be with Elaine so badly that I would do anything to make it happen. I gritted my teeth as frustration filled me. I had no ideas left to win her over. And the thou

    Elaine“You must be starving now. I made you breakfast,” Trevor said as he placed the tray on the empty nightstand.I greeted him with a smile and warmed by his kind gesture. He sat on the bedside and revealed the food he had prepared. The tray held freshly made pancakes drizzled with honey syrup, a pile of crispy bacon, and two sunny-side-up eggs. To pair with the meal, Trevor had included a glass of orange juice and water.“That’s too much, Trevor,” I said with a smile as I looked at the spread he had made.Trevor shook his head lightly.“Looks just right to me,” he replied with a playful tone. “Anyway… how are you feeling?” His warm hand covered mine as he gently stroked it, waiting for my response.“I feel better now,” I replied, though my mind was still preoccupied with a strange dream I had earlier. Suddenly, panic shot through my body as a thought hit me.“What time is it?”Trevor glanced at his wristwatch. “It’s 9:30,” he answered.I leaped out of bed in a flurry of panic and

    ElaineWalking down the aisle toward the man of my dreams, I couldn’t imagine this day being any more perfect. The eyes of the lovely guests were all on me. Their bright smiles lit up their faces. The joy of this day radiated through everyone in the garden.I still couldn’t fully grasp the reality. I was finally going to marry the man of my dreams. As they say, things are sweeter the second time around. It would be my second marriage but this time, I would be married out of love.Happiness enveloped me as I reached the end of the red carpet. At that moment, I knew all the sacrifices had been worth it. I had finally reached the peak of life. I could hardly wait.But then, something strange caught my attention and made me restless. Trevor wasn’t facing me. Perhaps he was crying and didn’t want to show it to everyone. The thought made me smile.I was about to call out his name when he turned around. My jaw dropped, and my lips trembled as I saw a different face. My body’s immediate react

    TrevorTwo hours had passed, but still, there were no signs of Elaine and Liz. The mating ritual didn’t usually take this long. It was just a matter of moments to see who your fated mate was. Two hours had been more than enough time for a lot to happen. Deep down, I couldn’t help but feel anxious about the outcome.My body couldn’t stay still. I paced back and forth inside our apartment, waiting for them to tell me I could fetch them. I constantly glanced and hoped to see a message from Elaine or Liz coming out of the screen.But as the seconds passed, there was still none. I pulled out my phone and checked for missed calls or messages, but the empty inbox only added to my frustration. I heaved a deep sigh. I had waited long enough to expect at least an update, but I heard nothing from either.“Should I follow her?” I asked my wolf, almost ready to drive into the place myself.“Don’t be impatient. Relax, Trevor,” he responded calmly.My heart raced, my instincts screaming that someth

    Elaine“What do you mean?” Holding my tightened chest, I could barely manage to ask. Neeya’s words made no sense. My head spun as I tried to understand her. But when I looked down, I saw blood dripping from my mouth and pooling on the floor. I coughed hard, more blood coming out, and fear filled my mind.This couldn’t be real. My chest hurt more, and my breathing became faster. I needed answers, and I needed them now.“How can a simple rejection spiel kill?” I added. Neeya took a deep breath before answering. “It will, if your wolf power is like mine.”Her words were calm and sounded convincing. Yet still, it was still hard to process. Wolf power like hers? What did she mean?My head spun as none of her words made sense. I placed my fingers on the side of my head and massaged it. I wanted to ask more questions, but the tightening in my chest and the stabbing pain that came out of nowhere held me back. Perhaps sensing my weakened state, Neeya continued to shed some light.“I am not a

    ElaineWhat I thought was the end between Tristan and me turned out to be the start of my own misery. Seeing Tristan standing right in front of me made me believe that the moon goddess was treating me unfairly. It felt like she was playing favorites, and I was the one she cared for the least.Why else would she make me cross paths with him again? Why would she tie us together for the rest of our lives? It was as if she wanted to see me suffer, to remind me that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t escape his grasp. My heart felt heavy, and the pain was impossible to ignore.Tristan was silently watching me cry. No words could express how furious I was at every living creature. Life hadn’t been kind, and now they had dealt me the final blow. I was falling apart in front of Tristan. Perhaps that was enough to make him stay rooted in place.“I can never accept this, Neeya. Not now, not in the future, not any day of my life.”I wiped the tears that kept pouring down like a stream. Sinc

    TristanI despised myself for setting foot in this boring place. Why had I let my foolish inner thoughts take over? And wouldn’t it have been insane if someone caught me there, knowing I had a wife?Until now, I didn’t even know what I was doing here. In fact, I had my means not to participate. Everyone knew I wasn’t a bachelor Alpha. That means my body wouldn’t be as receptive to the effects of the mate bond as long us I would keep the council informed. And yet, here I was. It was like I was put in a trance that convinced me that something good would happen tonight.As if I cared. I didn’t understand why I allowed this part of me to win and dragged me to a place I knee I didn’t even enjoy. The polished floor reflected my image at me, and I couldn’t believe how much effort I’d put into witnessing such nonsense. My plain black suit and red necktie mocked me in the reflection. It did nothing but remind me how low I had sunk tonight.“SHALL WE START?” a loud voice rose above the murmurs

    Elaine"How could this be possible?” I whispered to myself. My hand trembled as it covered my mouth. “It can’t be.”Tears spilled from my eyes and streamed relentlessly down my cheeks. I took a shaky step closer and my hand fell away from my lips.Is this real? I asked myself. Another step forward would confirm my fear. As I looked again, my lips quivered uncontrollably.“Why does it have to be you!?”My mind resisted the truth. I already rejected the idea of someone’s soul being tied to mine. Let alone, to be tied with him. I forced myself to take another step. I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes. I pulled the air around me into my lungs. My instincts confirmed it. I couldn’t lie to myself any longer.Seeing the wolf in front of me, there was no denying it anymore.I broke down, collapsing to my knees as sobs wracked my body. I didn’t understand. I refused to understand. Of all the werewolves on this continent, why did it have to be him? Why did destiny insist on binding us like an i
