ElaineTristan took off his shirt. I removed my shoes and rolled up my pants. Elsa and Ruther were watching beside the waterfall, sitting on a big boulder. “You guys ready?” Elsa shouted. Tristan first looked at me. We are standing next to the waterfall. The loud ripples of water made my ears ring. The strong current from the waterfalls slowly sent shivers down my spine. I couldn’t imagine how it would feel once it landed on my skin. But I have to overcome my fear. I need to pass this training for my future. For the future of the Wolfsilver pack. For Trevor and our future together. I turned to Tristan and nodded. He then raised his hand as a signal. Elsa gestured for us to go in the middle. I soaked my feet in the water. My feet numbed from how cold it was. Tristan offered his hand to assist me in going in the middle. I took it and we both crashed into the strong water current ahead of us. It was worse than I thought. The heavy drops of water almost made my knees fold. But I fou
Tristan “Pathetic… at this point, your goal is just a dream.” Elsa shook her head, belittling Elaine in the midst of her suffering. I glanced at her. Elaine’s face is obviously pale. Her lips lost their color already. Her body is trembling. The sight is unbearable. Do we really have to go to such lengths just to overcome the rejection spiel? Or is it really necessary to punish our bodies like this? I stared at Elsa. She showed no mercy. “Keep your legs straight! Or I will reset your time again!” Elaine’s legs struggled to get up. The weight of the water continued to crush her down. I could see how she could barely stand straight. Like any second, her legs would give up on her. I know more than anyone else how Elaine spent her time living a simple life. She ain’t a warrior like Elsa. Elaine never experienced any form of combat even back in our marriage. So giving her a brutal training like this is like an attempted suicide. I don’t know what’s running inside Elsa’s mind. But I d
TristanThe training became a burden not just for me, but most importantly for Elaine. Unfortunately, we were still stuck in the first part of our training. It had been almost a week. Six days of an exhausting cycle. Day after day, we endured the force of the waterfall, yet no improvement could be seen in Elaine.It wasn’t surprising knowing Elaine’s background. She was an omega before I married her, who only knew how to wash dishes and clean. All she ever did was household chores and even after we divorced, she became a secretary. She wasn’t used to this type of thing. She wasn’t good at combat skills or any physical fight. No wonder this training had been brutal for her. “Stand straight! Don’t let the current destroy your stance!” Elsa shouted from the same spot she always sat on.I could feel that it wasn’t just us who were growing frustrated. Elsa had become much stricter. I could see that her patience was wearing thin. Yelling had become an integral part of our training. Every t
Tristan“Stand straight! Don’t let the current destroy your stance!” Elsa shouted from the same spot where she was sitting.I could feel that it was not just us who were getting frustrated about the situation. Elsa was now much stricter. Yelling had become a part of our training. But unlike me, Elaine never said a word against Elsa. She just kept apologizing for not meeting her expectations.Elaine tried her best to stand straight.“You’re doing great,” I told her. Elaine just smiled.I fixed my eyes on Elaine. She looked like a mess. Within just a week of staying here at Wolfless Hill, Elaine had managed to change herself in the worst way possible.“How much time is left now?” Elaine suddenly asked.I tilted my head up and shouted at Ruther.“Hey, Ruther! How long has passed now?”Ruther looked at the hourglass and shouted back.“Four hours left! Not even halfway, Alpha!”The current became heavier on our shoulders. It felt like we had endured these brutal waterfalls forever, yet it
ElaineElsa laughed at first. It was a sharp, mocking sound. But then her face turned serious. She looked down at Tristan’s hands. Her expression darkened as she saw the way Tristan gripped her arm. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked, her voice calm but firm.“This is exactly what you think I’m doing,” Tristan said. Through this conversation, her grip remained firm. “Let me go.”“What if I don’t?” Tristan shot back.Elsa smirked. However, I felt there was no humor in it. Her glare was cold. I never imagine seeing her this tough knowing her petite frame. She shook her head, clearly disappointed, but Tristan still wouldn’t let go.I hated where this was going. Elsa was only doing her job, and Tristan just wanted to protect me. They both had their reasons, but neither would back down.Before things got worse, I quickly stepped in between them.“You two… that’s enough,” I said.Elsa never breaks her eye contact with Tristan. I held Tristan’s arms hoping he would let go. But b
TristanAgain, I felt the odd urge to run. I wanted to clear my head from things. Soon, I found out the beauty of running in wolf form. It’s very comforting in some way.I waited for Elaine to fall asleep first before sneaking outside. I quietly shifted into my wolf form so no one from the two cabins would hear me.As soon as I put some distance between myself and the others, my body uncontrollably ran in peace. My mind went back to Elaine. Her laughter sent so much euphoria within me. It became an infinite melody in my ears.It repeatedly played in my head, and I had a feeling it would be stuck deep within my memories.“Maybe it’s for the better,” I told myself.Right now, it isn’t that hard to accept. Though it still hurts every time I remember that I already lost her.Callum heard me.“I witnessed how things went through. I can say maybe you’re right.”That response shocked me. I know Callum’s instinct always pushes me closer to Elaine whenever we have the chance. But this time, I
ElaineI was already lying down on our bed. Tristan was outside talking with Ruther and Mike. I was left thinking about the failure I had today. Of course, I was embarrassed. I felt useless and completely weak. The defeat I experienced today, actually, for the whole week, started to build up negatively inside me.I understood I was not used to this kind of physical training. But still, my weakness left a huge scar on my heart that I could barely breathe. The burden kept getting heavier and heavier as I remained connected with Wolfsilver’s problem. I wanted to do something, like succeed in the training right away so Tristan could take back the pack. As his mate, it was my duty to help him do it. But what if I couldn’t even make it past the first phase of the training?It was frustrating to see how impossible it was to reach the goal I intended to achieve.“Neeya?” I called out to my wolf. “Are you there?”I waited for a response at the back of my head. But Neeya seemed to be nowhere. S
ElaineToday, Ruther and Mike decided to invite us to eat together for lunch. Tristan gladly accepted the offer. So we sat together at a wooden table and enjoyed Mike’s dishes.Before we started eating, I glanced around and noticed someone’s absence.“Where’s Elsa?” I asked as I looked at Ruther.Ruther shrugged. “I don’t know. She just left a note saying she’ll be out throughout the day and will come back tonight.”Tristan immediately perked up. There was a satisfied grin spreading across his face. He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and was clearly pleased by the news.“Well, that’s the best thing I’ve heard all week,” he said. He grabbed another bite of his food. “Maybe I’ll actually enjoy my meal for once.”Mike chuckled and shook his head. “You really don’t like her, do you?”Tristan smirked. “What gave it away?”Ruther sighed. “Try not to look too happy. She’ll be back before you know it.”Tristan groaned but didn’t argue. Instead, he turned his attention back to his plate
ElaineAt last, after so many crazy things had happened in our lives, the scene I had always dreamed of day and night was finally happening right before my eyes.I stood at the end of the aisle wearing the most elegant white wedding dress full of sparkling stones in it. Everyone stood up on their chairs as I made my entrance.Nancy, whom I never thought would be a forever friend, was standing with her cute dress. She suited the role of the maid of honor. She deserved to be part of the happiest day of my life. After the things we’d been through, I wanted her to witness this joyous moment. Along with Mr. Smith and his wife, who were holding my arms lovingly, walking me down the aisle.“You look lovely,” he whispered and smiled.“Trevor is such a lucky guy. I wish you the best,” Mrs. Smith said.“Thank you,” I uttered. Even if the Moon Goddess hadn’t let me experience growing up with my parents, I was happy she had sent them just in time in my life and served as my second parents.A fami
ElaineThe usual smiles of the people of Wolfsilver were back. Slowly, everything turned to the way it should be.I walked around checking the aftermath of the war. The pack was in ruins. The damage was beyond imagination. A lot of families lost their homes. Most of the things that built Wolfsilver were lost during the war. But the good thing is, the people’s faces lit up. They were full of life and joy after the defeat of Travis. There’s no more terror in their hearts. Fear was replaced with joy. The nightmare was finally over. And along with everyone, we all could start again.I was on my way to the infirmary. I brought some fruits and snacks to hand over to the warriors who risked their lives for our cause. The wounded warriors welcomed me with smiles.Most of them were recovering greatly. Of course, we suffered from casualties too. It couldn’t be avoided. But thanks to the prosperity of this great pack, everyone’s needs were given.I was on my way to visit my friends to the infirm
ElaineEverything happened so fast.Rogues rushed at us. They were hungry for our blood. The wolves fighting on our side howled and a few seconds later, the first drop of blood spilled the ground. I barely ducked as a rogue’s claws swiped at my face. Good thing Jared was at my side in a second and knocked the attacker away."Stay close!" Jared shouted.I gripped my dagger tighter while my hands were shaking. I wasn't a strong fighter like Jared or Elsa. But I had to help somehow.Elsa fought like a hurricane. Her blades were covered in blood and yet i didn’t see her slow down for even a second. Mike, Ruther and the rest of the warriors from Silver Rose Pack moved as if they take war for breakfast.Tristan was fighting Travis up ahead. The two of them clashed. Travis was bigger and stronger. But Tristan was faster. He dodged Travis' attacks and hit him with quick, sharp blows."You’re getting slow, Travis!" Tristan shouted with a bloody smile."You’ll die slow!" Travis growled back a
Elaine“What the hell are you doing here?” I shouted, the sight of her face after all this time lighting a fire inside me.All the hardships she caused came crashing back into my mind. My blood boiled. Heat rose in my chest. The anger I felt begged me to lash out. I clenched my fists. I was ready to attack her anytime.Jared gently grabbed my arm and shook his head.I understood immediately. If I lost control now, I could ruin everything. And worse, it could lead us straight into unnecessary bloodshed.Of course, I wouldn’t want that. I forced myself to stay still. But I didn't take my eyes off Megan. I tried to be calm, but seeing her smug face was making it hard to do so. She noticed. Of course, she did. Like before, she relished seeing me powerless and furious. That evil smirk of hers was enough to make me want to rip it off her face.Megan grabbed Travis’s face suddenly and kissed him. Passionately. Shamelessly. Right in front of everyone. The kiss dragged on for a whole painful
ElaineWe set foot outside the Silver Rose Pack. It had been a long time since we ventured beyond the safety of our haven. Today, we would take back what was ours. With the strength of our newly forged alliances, we would throw Travis out of Wolfsilver."Keep your pace! We're almost at the pack borders!" Tristan shouted to everyone.The army was led by Tristan and Elsa, running at the frontline, ready to take down anything that blocked our way. Jared stayed close beside Tristan, while Ruther and Mike supported Elsa on the flanks."You better be alive, Trevor. We’re on our way," Tristan said suddenly.His concern tightened something inside my chest. I couldn't help but ache for Trevor, imagining what hardships he might be enduring at the hands of Travis.My mind locked onto our mission. The battle ahead would test us all. But I'd face anything—anything—just to hold the love of my life again."Hang on a little more, Trevor," I whispered into the wind, praying somehow the words would rea
TristanThat night, Elsa and the others decided we would leave early in the morning. Some of the warriors in the army were fired up, eager to avenge Alpha Earl. I overheard them talking about how it had been a long time since they felt their blood burn with this much passion. It lifted my spirits to know morale was strong. It would definitely help us win the war.Of course, a few warriors were more cautious. Word had spread about my defeat and the fall of Wolfsilver. They took Travis seriously, preparing themselves for the worst. Travis wasn’t someone you could underestimate.After a short meeting, I headed to the training ground alone. I needed to let off some steam and prepare myself for the rematch against Travis.I stayed up all night, throwing punches, imagining his movements from our last battle. Memorizing them. Preparing to counter them."I see you’re in good shape," Callum said in my head."I have to be," I replied. "I’ve got an ass to kick back home. It’s now or never, Callu
Tristan“How long should we wait here?!” I exclaimed in frustration, hitting the door with my bare fist. “We can’t just stand here doing nothing!”It had been a week since Travis captured my brother. A full week, and still no progress on Trevor’s rescue. The cabin was thick with the heavy stench of frustration and fear. Travis was too unpredictable to guess his next move, and I couldn’t bear the thought of regretting not doing something after everything Trevor had sacrificed for all of us. Including me.Ruther just sat there, his disappointment mirroring mine. Meanwhile, I could tell from Mike’s clenched jaw that he was trying his best to hold his emotions together. The whole Silver Rose Pack knew what Trevor had done for us. Even if they didn’t show it the same way I did, I knew they were ready to fight for him.“Calm down, Alpha. Emotions won’t get us anywhere,” Jared said cautiously.“Calm down?!” I snapped, turning on him. “You’ve been saying that all week! How can I calm down whe
TrevorMy eyes widened at the unexpected scene. I held my breath as I watched Megan being lovingly escorted by Travis."My love... What brings you here?" Travis kissed her hand and smiled."I got bored in my quarters," Megan said, crossing her arms as she stood beside Travis’ throne. "I didn’t expect to meet an old acquaintance."I scoffed, feeling disgusted just by the thought."In your wildest dreams."Megan walked towards Travis. When she reached him, she casually sat on his lap."Do you miss me already?" Travis whispered. He buried his face into her neck."Is there any reason why I shouldn’t miss you?" she teased.Without shame, Travis kissed her neck in front of everyone. Megan, devoured by his lips, smirked at me like she believed she'd climbed back into power. "I’m sure you’re not blind to see the result of your petty revenge," I said while clenching my fists. "Tell me, Megan, was it worth it?""Shut the hell up!" Megan screamed. "Don’t pretend you know nothing about my suffer
TrevorWolfsilver was beyond anything I had ever imagined.And not in a good way.My heart sank. Everything was in chaos. The moment I stepped onto the pack’s territory, I had to fight the overwhelming urge to stand up for the oppressed wolves around me."Please stop. I'm begging you," a woman whimpered. One of the rogues laughed cruelly before slapping the poor omega across the face."You're here to serve us! Do you want to die?" he shouted.Another rogue grabbed at her and tore her clothes. While a third pinned her to the ground.“No! Please…Don’t—”Travis' men were worse than animals. They were monsters. Soulless. Heartless. Driven by nothing but their twisted desires.It was broad daylight, and yet no one stopped them.The omega cried silently, humiliated and broken, as the rogues violated her.The warriors stood by and did nothing. They turned their eyes away and let hell swallow one of their own.This... this was normal here now.For the rogues, this was life.And Travis was th
