TristanI smirked, hoping a bit of fear would finally seep into her stubborn brain. But I was wrong. My breath caught in my chest as she kept her arms crossed, smirking right back at me. I’d never been mocked like this before. It was almost unbelievable.“An Alpha?” She scoffed. “There’s no way a perverted lonely guy like you is an Alpha.”Lonely? Damn this woman! This was hopeless. Nothing I said would reach her. My explanations were pointless. Fed up, I marched through the tall bushes and put a distance between me and that psycho woman.“Wait, you fucker!” she yelled, her voice grating on my nerves.“Fucking delusional,” I mumbled as I ignored the footsteps chasing after me. I just wanted to get away from that crazy woman. I wanted peace from her. Leaves crunched behind me. I quickened my pace and refused to look back. Just as I thought I’d lost her, something lunged out of the darkness. I barely had time to react before she landed right in front of me and blocked my path.“Get lo
TristanThe Alpha pack house was heavy with tension. Omegas stood around and whispered to each other with worried faces. The fireplace crackled, but its warmth did nothing to chase away the cold feeling in the room. My chest felt tight as I forced myself to stay calm. Anger simmered under my skin, but I refused to let it show. The accusation against me was not just unfair. Rather, it was completely ridiculous.Alpha Earl’s daughter stood in the center of the room. Her chin was high, and her eyes were full of anger. She put her hands on her hips and acted like she was right and no one could question her. The servants and guards looked at each other. They were certainly unsure of what to do other than be bystanders to all of this.Alpha Earl walked forward. His heavy boots hit the floor with loud thuds. He looked at his daughter with confusion.“What did you just say?” Alpha Earl asked. His tone was sharp and serious.She looked at him without fear. “I said what I said, Dad.”“Did you
TristanAlpha Earl’s glare was harsh and his daughter froze. Well, it looked like she was too scared to move. Her face turned bright red, and she couldn’t even look up because she was so embarrassed. She looked like she wanted to disappear. Alpha Earl let out a frustrated sigh and put a hand on his forehead.Her confidence shattered completely. I could tell she was trying to keep it together, but there was no hiding her shame now. She stayed quiet, probably too afraid to dig herself into a deeper hole.Alpha Earl raised his hands and signalled everyone to be quiet. The room fell silent, and he took a deep breath before speaking.“Listen, dear,” he said firmly. “Are you sure Alpha Tristan was spying on you? Did you see him staring at you instead of drinking, just like he claims?”Elsa hesitated. Her eyes darted around the room. She opened her mouth to respond but stuttered over her words as she struggled to find an excuse.“Then what exactly was he doing there if not peeping?” she fi
ElaineMy husband used my body, not knowing it would be the last time he had me. I’d grown fed up and given up hope that he’d ever learn to love me. What a silly notion. I’d been foolish to think that would ever happen.“You seem… different,” he purred as he began ravaging my lips. Tristan loved total control in bed. But this time, I didn’t allow myself to be just be the receiver of pleasure. Surprisingly, I was the one leading him on.“Hey, take it easy,” he whispered, but it fell on deaf ears. I focused on satisfying him first, on giving him a night to remember, before submitting myself to him and allowing him to enter my body. Considering it would be our last time, it might as well be good. I was filing for divorce in the morning. If anyone heard what I was thinking of doing, they might call me stupid. After all, I was married to Tristan Hale was the esteemed Alpha of Wolfsilver Pack, and I was appointed to be his Luna. Anyone who might know my story might think I was a real-life
Elaine A soft, golden light shined around me. Everything I knew about the world disappeared as if I had been transported to another realm.Then the golden light called upon me. “Elaine.”"Who are you? How do you know my name?" I asked, as the light soothed my worries. Just hearing its voice made me feel better."I'm Neeya, and I'm your spirit wolf," came the reply."You're kidding.” I couldn't help but laugh. “I am wolfless, and I've come to terms with that already.”“But it’s true,” the voice persisted. "Trying to explain why you can sense me now is difficult, so I won't delve into that. What’s important thing is that I'm here now, and I'll always be with you as your friend. You won't be alone anymore, Elaine. I will be your companion… forever."Her last statement flattered my heart, and even though I couldn’t see her form, I could feel her smiling at me. A lone tear escaped my eyes. Warmth and comfort like none I’d ever experienced flooded my senses.#“Bestie? Thank God, you’re a
Elaine "Come on, Liz. Quit playing." I chuckled while nudging her on her side. "I shouldn’t have not trusted you with my secret. Besides, I’m only eighteen. I haven't even found my destined mate yet."How could I attract someone like Tristan? He was out of my league, and the thought of me being married to him was absurd."You really don't remember anything, do you?" Liz uttered. I looked at her straight in the eyes before she slumped into the nearby chair next to my bed. Again, an awkward silence hovered. She took a deep breath, as if she was relieved about something. "Well, maybe it’s for the best. I mean, what good would it do you to remember that bastard anyway?"She pulled a compact mirror from her purse and handed it to me. "There. Look at yourself and tell me what you see."I looked the same, only a little older and stressed, with small lines formed on my forehead and bags under my eyes. It appeared I hadn't gotten a decent sleep, though I wasn't sure why not. I shifted my gaze
ElaineI gave Liz my full attention as she told me the highlights of the events that shaped my present life. "After you got married, you kept trying to please Alpha Tristan, bending over backward to gain his affection. But he always disregarded you and your feelings. He didn’t care if you were hurting, didn’t care if you were sick. In fact, he continually slighted and ignored you in favor of his mistress, Megan. It’s sad, but your husband has never loved you, Bestie, and he hasn’t treated you well, either."Liz continued as time slipped by. My heart twisted with every word, each revelation a fresh wound. "After you got married you kept trying to please Alpha Tristan, bending over backward to gain his affection. But he...He didn’t care whether you were hurting or not. Whenever you were sick, instead of taking care of you, Tristan would go out to meet Megan. Your Alpha husband never loved you, Bestie. It’s sad, but that’s how your life was in the past five years."I could barely believ
ElaineMy gaze fell upon Tristan, and I couldn't help but be struck by him. He had matured into a chiseled man who exuded confidence and allure. Well, he was an Alpha now, so this was pretty much expected.I looked at him and studied his features. He was chiseled, and hisHis neatly styled dark hair framed his face and enhanced his rugged charm. With a defined jawline and commanding stature, he was far from the boy next door image I remembered him to be. Yet, despite that five years had passed, he still retained the same magnetic presence that had captivated me during our younger days.However, his undeniable handsomeness struck me. Yet, cold and piercing blue eyes sent a shiver down my spine and hinted at a depth of intensity I hadn't fully comprehended before. Despite that, I still felt an inexplicable pull towards him. Sudden panic filled me; my infatuation with him was still present deep within me.“Don’t just sit there! Help me get changed!” he commanded, jolting me out of my delu

TristanThe cool night air hit my face and I froze. I tried to make sense of what I’d just seen. Moonlight shimmered on the water, and for a moment, I wondered if I was seeing things. But the sound of splashing and a sharp gasp told me I wasn’t alone. Guilt twisted in my stomach and immediately realized I wasn’t just imagining things. There was really a naked she-wolf bathing under the moonlight here! “I’m sorry!” I spun around. My heart was racing.I didn’t mean to spy on anyone! My dry throat just led me to the river without thinking. I never expected to find a woman bathing in the middle of the night. I mean, who would? Only werewolves from the past were doing that. We had technology. We all had showers at home, for crying out loud! “Don’t you dare look back!”Water splashed behind me as she hurried out of the river. Embarrassment burned in my chest, but I couldn’t help but wonder who she was and why she was out here alone.I could hear the water splashing behind me as the woman
TristanMy feet dragged me to my room. Everything felt like a blur. I knew I had to stay out of their sight for a moment. Why? Because I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I felt like something was squeezing the air out of me. I could barely keep up the act in front of Elaine and Trevor. Earlier, I forced my face to stay neutral while my insides twisted with pain.I slammed the door shut and leaned against it, clutching my chest as soon as I got inside. I barely noticed how I got there. A shuddering breath escaped me, but it did nothing to ease the ache. The reality of it hit me all over again. I felt like I was falling apart.Callum scoffed inside my head. His presence was prickling with irritation. I didn’t blame him, though. Callum’s reaction as my spirit wolf was understandable. After all, I was Elaine’s mate. My soul was bound to hers, yet I’d just stood there when another man walked away with her. I didn’t fight for her. I didn’t even try to stop it.“What a brainless act,” Callum in
ElaineAlpha Earl demanded an answer with his eyes. He waited patiently as he slowly approached and closed the gap between us. Both Tristan and I stiffened, caught off guard. He exchanged a few glances with me. It was clear that he was surprised that Alpha Earl was standing in front of us too.I looked around and checked for any wolves besides Alpha Earl. There was no one else, just him.Our tongues were tied as we faced him, unable to respond. I held my breath, feeling the uneasy tension slowly build around us.“Alpha Earl, I—”“Elaine…”Tristan was cut off by another voice echoing from a distance. It was TrevorTrevor rushed onto the scene. The leaves rustled as he made his way toward the three of us. He gave me a quick kiss on the forehead and wrapped his arms around my waist.His faint smile faded into confusion as he paused, glancing between us. It seemed like Trevor could sense the uneasy atmosphere lingering in the air, but he couldn’t quite grasp the situation.“What’s going on
ElaineIt was still an hour before lunchtime. I was alone in the cabin. Trevor was still in the council meeting, and Jared was occupied with training the warriors of the Silver Rose Pack. Tristan was nowhere to be found.I didn’t know why, but even at that moment, I could still feel the tension I had unknowingly built with Tristan. It was different from our usual arguments. His face had said it all. I knew I had hurt him. My conscience wandered through my thoughts and poked me repeatedly about what I had done.I heaved a sigh, walked to the door, and sat outside on one of the wooden benches. Trevor would be back for lunch soon. I thought that spending some simple time with him might occupy my mind and help me find some calm.“Good afternoon, Miss Elaine.” A voice suddenly broke through my thoughts.I hadn’t noticed the Omega standing in front of me. I had been so lost in my own world that I hadn’t sensed her presence.“Good afternoon,” I responded as I stood from the bench.“Mr. Trevo
ElaineI sat on the edge of the bed in our room. Ever since Tristan left, guilt had been filling me to the brim. I knew I messed up. But it was Tristan I was talking about.“He deserved it for being a jerk,” I muttered to myself.Tristan didn’t understand the concept of respecting someone’s wishes. He was always pushy with everything, and never cared whether the other person wanted the same thing. He was selfish and manipulative. He always played things into his hands according to his will.I scoffed bitterly, remembering his past manipulations. That wolf would never change. It was just the way he was.But then his broken face flashed through my mind again, and I couldn’t shake the uncomfortable feeling gnawing at me. I hoped the bitterness would somehow erase the guilt that was eating me alive. But I was only lying to myself because the discomfort remained.His words kept playing over and over in my head. They weren’t just empty words spoken in a fit of anger. Those words were the ra
ElaineTristan glanced at me for a moment. His eyes scanned me from head to toe. With that innocent look plastered on his face, which I knew was just an act, he asked,“What do you want me to say?”My jaw dropped, completely caught off guard by his absurd response. He casually went back to drinking his coffee as if nothing happened and ignored me once again. My nose flared, and something inside me snapped. It was like a volcano erupting, spewing out all the anger I’d been holding back. I pointed my finger at him and yelled,“I know what kind of wolf you are!” I took a step closer with my gritted teeth. “I know you very well, Tristan. So stop this act already.”Before he could even think of a comeback, I continued.“You’re just waiting for the right time to dig deeper into the Silvermare issue you guys had last night.” I scoffed, crossing my arms. “Maybe you’ll even use it against me. Against Trevor. I wouldn’t be surprised knowing that you don’t care if you hurt someone along the way
