Tristan

The time had come.

A charged stillness hung in the air. Every breath I took was thick with anticipation. It pressed against my chest like a heavy boulder, each breath laced with the gravity of what was to come.

This wasn’t just any fight. this was the fight. The Alpha Battle.

Failure was not an option.

I stood in the dim light of my room, rolling my shoulders, feeling the tight pull of muscle honed through relentless conditioning. Every fiber of my being had been sharpened to the edge of a blade, my body a weapon forged through years of discipline. I exhaled slowly, cracking my knuckles, welcoming the familiar rush of adrenaline that set my blood ablaze.

Callum and I would emerge victorious.

I wasn’t going to lose to Travis. The thought was almost insulting.

Travis, the so-called challenger, was nothing more than a shadow of his traitor father. Lacking the fire, the raw power, the presence necessary to lead. He had the bearing of a man who had spent his life bending to the w

    ElaineLaughter filled the cafeteria. The chatter of my officemates blended into the background noise. Plates clinked, forks scraped against dishes, and every so often, bursts of laughter echoed from nearby tables.I smiled at something Nancy said. I nodded along as she animatedly recounted a ridiculous story about a failed corporate event where the banners were misspelled. And the CEO had to give his speech under a sign that read "Wolfsilver's Greatest Alpha" instead of "Greatest Alpha."Everyone laughed.I laughed.But my mind was somewhere else entirely. I wasn’t here. Not really.As the conversation continued around me, my thoughts drifted back to my morning conversation with Trevor."Tristan’s Alpha Challenge fight is happening today."The words had lingered in my mind ever since. And it was gnawing at me with an unsettling weight.I had known this was coming. Of course, I had. But now that it was actually happening, I found myself unsettled in a way I didn’t expect.I knew what

    TristanThe moment Delta Ralph’s hand dropped, I lunged.The ground trembled under our weight as Travis and I clashed. Our muscles were straining and power was colliding.From the very first strike, it was clear. I had the upper hand.The crowd roared. Their cheers rang through the sacred pack grounds while they chanted my name. Their energy fueled me. Their belief in my strength only cemented what I already knew.I was winning.Travis was stronger than I initially gave him credit for. But he lacked the precision, the skill, and the dominance of a true Alpha. He fought with reckless force. Each of his strikes was wild and lacking the discipline of someone who had been trained for this.I dodged his punch and drove my fist into his ribs. I felt the satisfying crack of bone beneath my knuckles. He staggered back. And his breath became ragged. His feet also went unsteady.Too easy.I smirked then stepped forward. “Is this it?” I taunted. “This is the great fighter Gamma Jeff chose to chal

    ElaineTrevor smoothly pulled up his car in front of my apartment. The day had been long, filled with work and endless conversations. But despite that, I felt oddly restless.As expected, Trevor had come to pick me up. It had become our unspoken routine. A comfort I had grown used to.As I slid into the passenger seat, he gave me a warm smile. His eyes were filled with ease that made me forget, just for a moment, about the lingering thoughts in my mind.“How was work?” he asked as he reached over to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear.I sighed and leaned into the seat. “It was okay. Just the usual.”Trevor chuckled. “Nancy didn’t drive you crazy today?”I laughed softly. “She tried. But I was too distracted to let it work.”Trevor glanced at me. His expression shifted slightly. “Still thinking about the Alpha Challenge?”I hesitated.I hadn’t told him just how much it had been on my mind. How the thought of that fight, of what could happen, had lingered in the back of my mind a

    TristanThe pain in my body was overwhelming. Every inch of me ached. And my muscles were screaming in protest as I struggled to move. Blood dripped from my lips. And my breath came in shallow gasps. The dirt beneath me was cold, yet my skin burned with exhaustion.I had lost.The realization settled heavily in my chest. A weight I wasn’t used to carrying. The crowd that had once chanted my name now stood silent. Their expressions shifted from shock to horror as chaos erupted around us.Screams pierced the air.I forced my head up even though my vision was already swimming. And that’s when I saw them.Rogues.Dozens of them.Like starved beasts, they lunged at innocent bystanders with their fangs bared. Their claws slashed through flesh as if the people of Wolfsilver were nothing more than prey.The battlefield had turned into a massacre.I gritted my teeth as I tried to push myself up. But my limbs wouldn’t obey. I had already given everything in my fight against Travis. And now, as

    ElaineThe pain that had gripped my chest so fiercely before was gone now. My breathing had returned to normal. And my hands were no longer trembling.And yet…The weight in my chest remained.A heaviness I couldn’t explain. It was like something deep inside me was trying to warn me of something I wasn’t ready to hear.Trevor sat beside me on the bed. He scanned my face carefully. He wasn’t saying much. But I could tell that he was still worried.He wasn’t just worried about me.I could see it in the way his lips pressed together and the way his fingers tapped against his knee. It was a nervous tic he only had when something truly bothered him.I knew he was thinking about Tristan.Even though they weren’t close, even though they had never truly built the kind of relationship that brothers should have, they were still blood.And for someone like Trevor, who carried the weight of his emotions quietly, I knew that was enough to make him worry.Even if he wouldn’t say it out loud.“Trevo

    TravisFor twenty-five years, I lived worse than an omega.I knew hunger, knew the biting cold of winter without shelter. I knew what it was like to have to fight tooth and claw just to survive. Every scar on my body and every broken bone I’d suffered over the years, was a reminder of what I had endured.Of what they took from me.But today… Today, I had taken everything back.I sat at the center of the council chamber with the Alpha’s seat beneath me. Its weight was both familiar and foreign.I ran my fingers along the polished wood, savoring the moment. Then a slow smile stretched across my lips.This… This throne should have belonged to my father.It was his by right.But instead, he had died in disgrace, got cast out, and forgotten. But I had fulfilled his dying wish.I had claimed what was rightfully ours.And I wasn’t going to let anyone take it from me.***I could still remember the night my father died.His breath was shallow. And his body was already weak, broken by the yea

    Tristan"Come on, Callum. Isn’t it pathetic to spend my final days like this?" I slumped against the cold stone wall of my cell, my body aching from the relentless beatings.I was already defeated. I had nothing left. What was the point of sulking in despair in my final moments when I could at least try to numb the pain?"Losing yourself to despair will not help your situation, you fool." Callum was mad, but it wasn’t as if I cared. Why would I care if I had already fucked up the situation? My life was far from being saved. Nothing would redeem me from the wrath of the tyrant.I was now a man with nothing. I had even lost my own pride."There are still ways to get yourself out of this situation. You’re the Alpha, Tristan. The Moon Goddess didn’t choose you for nothing. The great Alpha blood still runs in you," Callum shouted."Don’t let yourself lose to a mere rogue. Get up and fight back!"His words didn’t bring me any hope. I couldn’t even see a light at the end of this dark tunnel.

    Jared knelt on the ground. Using the tools he carried with him, he removed the chains from my feet."Can you walk?"I gritted my teeth, trying to ignore the pain in my body.“I’ll manage. Go.”Jared gave me a hand and assisted me through the dark stone corridors. His men followed our lead. They were fully geared to fight back against any enemies ahead.“We’re up close! Go! Hurry!” Jared commanded.The exit was closed. I could see the door where they had taken me. Jared pulled me forward, and my feet burned with pain, but I gritted my teeth intensely. This was nothing compared to the feeling of losing Elaine. So I hurried, despite the deep pain.We passed a few more cells until one of the guards in the left corridor saw us.“INTRUDERS!!” he shouted before dashing away to inform the other cell guards.“Fuck! We got caught! Hurry! Move your asses before they storm inside.”Jared pushed through the corridor.A loud bell rang, echoing painfully in our ears. Within seconds, the thunder of h

    TristanAlpha Earl and I sat at his table inside the packhouse, enjoying a morning tea served by his attendants. The tea was freshly picked from their garden. Its aroma perfectly suited for morning meetings like this.At the very least, a cup of tea helped lighten the weight of our problems. Somehow, we could discuss the greatest conflict facing Wolfsilver over a simple drink.“So, Alpha Tristan… what’s your next move?” Alpha Earl asked, taking a sip from his cup.I held my own cup, the heat of the fresh tea rising to my nose as I took a careful sip. Jared sat with us as well. After all, he was the only warrior I could truly rely on from my pack.“I only have one thing in mind: to train and grow stronger,” I said firmly. “I can’t reclaim my throne with my current strength. That’s why I wish to train here, under your guidance.”My grip on the cup tightened, my hands shaking slightly as the mere thought of Travis filled me with rage.“I will beat him. I will send Travis back to where he

    ElaineWhen I turned my gaze back to the old man, he seemed lost in his own world and stared off into the distance.“Please take Alpha Eddie back to the packhouse,” Warrior Ken ordered.One of the warriors stepped forward and carefully assisted the former Alpha. But just a few steps away, he suddenly froze and turned to look at me again. This time, I offered him a small smile.The old man showed no reaction. Without another word, he continued on his way.His behavior didn’t bother me much. It wasn’t fear that I felt. Rather, just surprise. His outburst had caught me off guard, and I hadn’t known how to react. He had grabbed my arm so suddenly but it hadn’t been anything to be wary of.I turned to Trevor and explained everything. His concern faded as he listened.“I see… Yeah, Warrior Ken is probably right,” Trevor said thoughtfully. “Maybe he was reminded of someone from his past when he saw you.”Warrior Ken then turned to address the gathered warriors.“All right, guys! Training is

    ElaineHis eyes locked onto mine. It looked like he was searching for something deep. It felt like he could see something inside me, something that even I didn’t know about. And though all of these, he still didn’t let go of my arm.“Silvermare…” he whispered again.He stepped closer. His wrinkled eyes shone with surprise and excitement. His grip was firm but not painful, as if he had found something precious.I didn’t know what to say. The way he looked at me felt strange, almost as if he knew me from long ago. His gaze was full of wonder, like a child seeing something magical for the first time.“Yes…” His voice trembled, but his words were sure. “I am certain now… You are a Silvermare.”Then, suddenly, he shouted—“A SILVERMARE!”His voice was loud and full of emotion. The sound echoed across the training ground.The word spilled from his lips repeatedly, almost like a chant. His loud declaration caught the attention of the warriors nearby. One by one, they turned toward us. Their

    ElaineA warm breeze drifted into my room, carrying the fresh scent of morning. A beam of sunlight streamed through the window and gently touched my skin. The cheerful chirping of birds filled the air as I slowly opened my eyes.“Good morning, honey,” I murmured. I stretched my arms and let out a big yawn.Still half-asleep, I turned over and reached for Trevor. My fingers searched for the warmth of his body, but all they found was the blanket. My arm stretched farther, tracing the bed to its edge. And yet, Trevor wasn’t beside me.I sat up and blinked away the drowsiness as I looked around. The bed was empty. Trevor was nowhere to be seen.“Honey?” I called out, feeling a slight pang of panic. But then, as my mind fully woke up, I remembered where we were.I took a deep breath and grounded myself. We’re still in the Silver Rose Pack. He must be out somewhere.With that thought, I decided to tidy up the bed. I folded the blankets and arranged the pillows. Once everything was in order

    ElaineTrevor and I were ready for bed. It was almost 10 p.m., and the Silver Rose Pack had settled in for the night. Outside, the only sounds were the distant hoots of owls and the soft chirping of crickets.The palace was far from our apartment, but Alpha Earl had put effort into making it as cozy as possible.“I remember the cabin I went to when we had a fight,” Trevor suddenly said. “It looks similar to this. Nature is just outside the window, and it’s quiet.”I didn’t fully catch what he said because my mind was drifting away. The conversation we had with Alpha Earl still lingered. I thought about the people of Wolfsilver. Everything stirred up inside me.“Elaine?” Trevor’s voice broke through my thoughts. “Are you okay?”I barely registered his concern at first because I was still lost in my own worries.“What was that?” I murmured, blinking. “Say that again, Trevor.”Trevor looked at me for a moment, then repeated himself. “I said this place reminds me of the cabin I went to wh

    TristanI could hear Callum growling in frustration inside my head. I didn’t mind him, until we left the dining table.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Callum confronted me. “Why did you allow Trevor to sleep beside your mate? Why did you let him have her? It was your chance, you fool! Your chance to mark and claim her as yours!”I scoffed, hearing this from him. My lips curled into a smirk at his frustration. I already knew where this was going.“Have you always been like this? You’re acting strangely, Callum.”Our argument continued as I followed the tracker leading us to the cabin.“Before, you wouldn’t stop blabbering about how I don’t deserve Elaine. Do you remember your advice? You told me to give Elaine time to see my worth as her mate.”Callum grew even more upset. His loud voice pierced my skull.“I haven’t changed, Tristan! You’re still a worthless brat who doesn’t deserve Elaine.”Then his voice suddenly turned calm.“However, as much as I hate to admit it, things are dif

    It didn’t make sense.How could my mere presence change the outcome of that fight?I had never thrown a punch in my life. I had no power, no training, nothing that could have helped Tristan in that fight. How could simply being there have made a difference?Was the mate bond truly that strong? Doubt twisted inside me, but so did something else.Guilt.Had I cost Tristan the Alpha seat by staying away? Had my hatred been the very thing that cost him everything?The thought made my stomach churn. I had always blamed Tristan for everything wrong between us. I convinced myself that rejecting him was the only way for me to have a peaceful life. But now, Alpha Earl was telling me that my absence had done more than just getting rid of him from my life.It had weakened him.The guilt I was feeling made it hard for me to breathe. I had brought us to this point, hadn’t it? I had turned away from fate, and now that choice brought us to this mess.Was this really my fault? Was Wolfsilver suffer

    ElaineI blinked, certain I had misheard.Wait, what? What did Alpha Earl just say?I was shocked. We were all shocked. How could a simple bond determine who won or lost an Alpha challenge? It made no sense. Strength came from training, strategy, and willpower, not from the presence of a mate. Right?I glanced at Trevor, whose jaw had tightened slightly. His usual unreadable expression cracked just enough to reveal the same disbelief churning inside me. Beside him, Jared had paused mid-sip. His wineglass hovered just inches from his lips. His sharp gaze locked onto Alpha Earl. On the other hand, Tristan was quiet but his expression didn’t hide the chaos he was feeling inside. Then, in a calm but firm voice, Alpha Earl continued.“Alpha Tristan, you could have won the fight if only your mate was there to support you. Her presence would have given your wolf some advantage.”Trevor and I exchanged another look. This time, I saw the same silent question burning in my own mind. Could t

    ElaineHearing the question, Tristan sat stiffly. The lively chatter around us faded into the background. His jaw clenched as he stared blankly at the table.Almost immediately, a subtle tension lingered in the air. I could sense his discomfort from across the table as he took a heavy sigh. His fingers tightened around the cup in front of him. “Travis Hale defeated me in a fair battle for the Alpha seat,” Tristan finally said. This statement made me, Trevor, and Jared pause. Alpha Earl’s brows lifted slightly, revealing his surprise. Perhaps, he had not expected this to be the root of Tristan’s troubles. But out of respect, he stayed silent and just waited for him to continue. “I know I deserved that defeat,” he said as he wiped the side of his mouth with a napkin. “I was too weak to keep my throne. So I did the only thing left to do; I faced Travis Hale, took my defeat like a warrior, and accepted the consequences. I was ready to die at that moment. After all, the alpha challeng
