ElaineI followed Leo as he led me down the street. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. I should have been at the office of Everett Innovations, trying to schedule an appointment for Roma Aesthetics. Instead, here I was, trailing after this poor kid. I had offered to walk him home, thinking it wouldn’t take long, but now I was starting to worry. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was making a mistake and poor judgment call. My concern for Leo's safety battled with my worry about the difficult task assigned to me by Nancy.Feeling defeated, I sighed and tried to reassure myself. "Making sure this kid is safe won’t take much time. I can get back to work soon."After a few minutes, we turned a corner. There, I saw a small house made of cardboard, held together with tape and string, next to an old trash bin. It was tiny, with a worn-out blanket for a door and newspapers on the floor. Leo stopped and turned to me with a small smile. "Welcome to my home, Aunt Elaine," he said.My heart
ElaineI turned my head, recognizing the voice instantly."Well, well, who do we have here?" Megan's tone was dripping with sarcasm. She stood there, a smug smile playing on her lips. Her eyes glittered with a predatory gleam, and her posture was as sharp and poised as ever. She was with another wolf, a man dressed in corporate wear, clearly indicating they were on some business errand together. I stood up and dusted myself off, determined to face this unexpected encounter with dignity."What are you doing here, Elaine?" Megan asked, her eyes scanning me with a mix of curiosity and disdain, her lips curling into a smirk. I could feel her trying to assert dominance, trying to make me feel small. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of knowing the details, so I simply said, "It's work-related."Megan's eyes widened in shock, her expression quickly morphing into one of false pity. "Elaine, the previous Luna of Wolfsilver Pack, working as an employee?" Her words dripped with thinly
ElaineI was taken aback when I realized the wolf I had bumped into was Trevor. I had been lost in my thoughts, not expecting to see a familiar face in this place.“Elaine?” Trevor said, his surprise evident. He looked just the same, with his bright eyes and easy smile.Feeling awkward, I managed a small smile. “Hi,” I said, my voice a bit shaky.Trevor’s curiosity got the better of him. “What are you doing here? No work today?”I shook my head, my stomach growling audibly. “Actually, I’m here because of work,” I admitted, feeling a blush creep up my cheeks.Trevor’s smile widened. “It’s lunchtime already. How about we grab something to eat? There’s a diner nearby.”“Hmmm…”“Don’t think about it, come on. You might be thinking to say no but your stomach is saying otherwise.”I felt my cheeks heat remembering the embarrassing encounter. With that, I nodded and followed Trevor as he led me to Whimsy Diner. The diner had a cozy, nostalgic feel, with checkered tablecloths and the smell o
ElaineFlashback…The moonlight bathed the clearing in a soft, silvery glow, its gentle touch highlighting the tears streaming down my cheeks. I stood there, silently weeping, while Trevor paced back and forth beside me, clearly unsettled. The tension between us hung heavy in the cool night air.“Why him? Why must you marry the Alpha’s son?” Trevor’s voice held a mix of frustration and hurt.“It’s what the Alpha and the Luna have decided,” I replied, my voice trembling with emotion. “It’s their way of thanking me for saving the Luna.”“But how is it a reward if you’re marrying because they told you to? Shouldn’t marriage be about love? Did they force you to agree?”“No! They didn’t—”“Then, why? Why did you agree to this arrangement? It doesn’t make sense—”“Because I love Tristan!” I shouted, my tears flowing more freely now. “I’ve loved him since we were little. I thought it was just a simple crush, but eventually, as I was given access to his world through his parents, I found myse
TristanSteam curled from the mug in my hand as I sat in my office, the smell of coffee filling the air. I took a slow sip, enjoying the quiet before the day began. It was a usual day for me, with a lot of things to get done. But before starting, I wanted to enjoy a little bit of solitude with my cup of coffee.As always. Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed through my office door.“Come in!” I put down my coffee, its warmth still lingering in the air. An omega entered the room afterward. She curtsied before speaking.“Good morning, Alpha Tristan. Sorry to disturb your wonderful morning, but a sudden visitor came.”I wondered who it was. An early morning visit sounded very unusual. No one would visit me at this hour. Curious, I asked, “Who is it?”“A lady from Moon Valley Orphanage,” the omega replied calmly while still bowing her head.Upon hearing this, my eyebrows furrowed. I stood up abruptly and exclaimed, “I’ve never heard of that place.”The omega, who seemed confused, responded, “
Memories flooded inside me as I heard her mention that fateful day. How could I ever forget it? It was the time I lost my best friend Shawn because Elaine manipulated my parents into stealing Shawn’s life-saving heart costing him his life. I would never forgive her for doing that. Meanwhile, Lily continued to tell me her version of the events. "I knew about your wife's need for a heart transplant a few years ago. I met her during a visit to the hospital where some of our supporters were working. I learned about her relentless search to uncover the identity of her donor, who was only known to her as an orphan wolf. To honor this donor, Elaine decided to support our orphanage as a way to give back to her lifesaver."I locked eyes with Lily. Frozen in my seat, I stared at her with a shocked expression. Lily noticed my unusual demeanor and asked, “Are you okay, Alpha?”I blinked once, realizing her concern. Shaking my head, I asked, “Is it okay if you tell me more about this incident?”
Tristan I paced back and forth in my room, the wooden floor creaking under my feet. The soft glow of the evening sun filtered through the curtains, casting long shadows on the walls. My mind was a whirlwind of doubts and questions. My conversation with Lily about Elaine had shaken the foundation of my beliefs. Was everything I thought Elaine did wrong? Could she really be innocent of Shawn’s death? The questions gnawed at me, each one more persistent than the last.“Pacing back and forth won’t help, Tristan,” Ceres, my spirit wolf, growled inside my mind.I stopped mid-step, looking out the window at the setting sun, frustration boiling over. “Then what should I do, Ceres? How do I find the truth?”“You’re being stupid,” Ceres snapped. “Investigate where it all started.”I paused, thinking. “Where it all started...”“Lycan Hills Hospital,” Ceres said, his voice echoing in my mind. It was where Shawn died and Elaine received her transplant.Desperate to find the truth, I grabbed my ke
Tristan"I still remember the day as clearly as the morning sky. Yes… Your mother, Luna Isabel. Elegant and noble in character. She took in a she-wolf, desperate for help who was unconscious and turning blue. I just did what any other doctor would do and treated her. That was the day I met Elaine Scott, the omega who became famous for saving your mother.”I listened intently as Doctor Han recounted the events of that day. While I knew that Elaine was sick during those times, I didn’t know that my mother would personally take her to the hospital for treatment. I knew my mother cared for Elaine, but I hadn't realized she would go to the extent of taking her to the doctor herself despite her busy schedule. Sometimes, I even think she treated Elaine as the daughter she never had, more than she ever treated me as her son. It wasn’t surprising, considering how much she yearned for a daughter that fate, unfortunately, didn’t grant her."Elaine was a polite she-wolf. She thought she was a bot
