“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

  • I Don't Remember Loving You, Alpha   Chapter 24

    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,

    Elaine“Finally!” Satisfied, I stared at my living room after a long day of cleaning. What better way to start integrating myself into my new apartment than by making it feel truly mine?Feeling tired, I sat down on the light brown couch and rested my body, even putting my legs up on the coffee table for extra comfort."Aghh, this feels great," I sighed, taking in the results of my hard work. With some spare money, I managed to make the apartment look better. I bought a few things to liven it up, like the vase on top of the coffee table. The fake daffodils in the vase added a touch of life to the room. And it wasn’t just that—I also got matching items for the kitchen and new curtains for every window.A smile spread across my face. Finally, the place was starting to feel like home.Later that evening, I decided to reward myself for all the effort. I lit some scented candles, turned on my favorite playlist, and settled back on the couch with a good book. The soft glow from the candles

    TristanI grabbed Beta Jared and threw him into the air. He groaned in pain as his back hit the mat. I smirked and relaxed from my fighting stance."Tsss, still weak as ever. I still can’t believe you’re the best our pack could offer."Jared struggled to get up, clearly in pain, but he managed to chuckle and respond."We’re just getting started, Alpha," he smirked, and the next thing I knew, he was tackling me. Good thing I managed to stop him with my full strength. Otherwise, such an attack would have resulted in a nasty fall for me. That would be ugly for sure.I could feel his sweat on my skin, the heat of our bodies mingling in the humid air.With a desperate attempt to break free, I aimed a knee strike, but he cunningly released one of my arms to block it. Then, he seized the advantage, using my loss of balance to lift me and throw me to the ground. As I hit the hard surface, frustration welled up inside me, making me threw curses in the air. Jared smirked, "You’ve been hanging o

    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
