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
Tristan"So, it was my Dad after all," I muttered bitterly, my voice barely above a whisper.I clenched my fist, struggling to contain the anger and disbelief swirling within me. How could he do that to his own people? As an Alpha, isn’t he supposed to protect his people? Isn’t he supposed to uphold equality and fairness for all?I couldn’t shake the feeling that my Dad had played like the moon goddess, manipulating Shawn and Elaine’s lives as if they were pawns. Did he truly have the right to do so? How could he wield such power over their fates?“Tell me, Doctor, why did you do it? Why did you play with your patient’s lives like that? Aren’t you supposed to let fate take its course? If Elaine was destined to die that day, why didn’t you allow that to happen and end up sacrificing the life of an innocent omega for her to live?”Doctor Han took a deep breath. His hand fidgeted, with a couple of sweat forming on his forehead. “I had no choice, Alpha. Your dad threatened me and my fami
ElaineTrevor and I arrived at the underground parking lot of the Marriott Building. The parking lot was dim and echoed with the low hum of engines and the occasional squeak of tires. When Trevor turned off the engine, the car became very quiet. He removed his seatbelt, the soft click echoing in the large space, and turned to face me. He heaved a soft sigh, the sound almost lost in the big parking lot.“I hate to say this, but we don’t have a choice. I need to settle everything first upstairs. I think you already experienced their strict protocols, right?” His voice was steady, but I could sense a hint of frustration.“Uh-huh,” I nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. The thought of entering the building without my name on the list of confirmed appointments was useless. The security here was tight, and I totally understood what Trevor was trying to say.“It will take a little while, but I promise I will be back as soon as I’m done,” Trevor said, his voice tinged with
ElaineMy wonderful day was instantly turned into an awful one just by hearing these absurd things from Tristan. Maybe Tristan had gone totally insane, saying things like this in front of me. My heart pounded in my chest, and my face flushed with anger. I clenched my fists, feeling my nails dig into my palms before I raised my trembling hand. With a fierce glare, I pointed my fingers at him, my voice trembling with a mix of fury and disbelief. "Wife? How can you say that? Have you lost your mind?!" The words I threw at him were sharp, laden with the truth he needed to understand.Tristan approached me right away, closing the distance between us. He answered with an enthusiasm that caught me off guard.“YES! We’re still married. I’m still your husband.”I scoffed, crossing my arms and looking him up and down. “What are you saying? We’re done, Tristan.”Hearing this, Tristan seemed unexpectedly hurt. I couldn’t find the proper reason behind his unusual behavior, but one thing was for
ElaineI leaned in closer to Tristan, my eyes locked onto his, unflinching. I bore into his soul, the intensity of my gaze daring him to finally confront the truth. My heart pounded with a mix of frustration and determination, my clenched fists trembling at my sides, hoping against hope that this time he would find the courage to accept reality."You were never a husband to me, Tristan. Everyone knows that. Don’t even try to create fake scenarios in your head about being a good spouse because you are not. You loathed me, remember? Many times, you chose to neglect me and be with your mistress instead. You've pushed me over the edge. I won’t let you push me further toward my demise. I am done being your doormat. I want nothing more to do with you."After that, I walked away from Tristan, moving quickly to put as much space between us as possible. Each step was a deliberate attempt to escape, feeling a mixture of relief and lingering tension in my mind. Suddenly, I heard a voice from beh
Elaine"So, it’s true. You lost your memories after the incident.” Tristan’s sudden statement caught me off guard. His voice was low, his gaze intense, waiting for my confirmation.“What are you trying to say now?” I asked, trying to steady my voice.Tristan turned away briefly, then faced me again, holding his face in his hands. “You know what I’m saying. Your memories… they were long gone.”His words hung heavy in the air, leaving me speechless. Tristan stared at me, waiting for a response that I couldn’t find. His behavior had become increasingly erratic. Initially, he was romantic and devoted, but now he seemed frustrated, desperate for answers.“I’m done talking to you,” I finally managed to say softly.Tristan lowered his head, then glanced at me with a fleeting smirk. “Truth finally found its way to me.”His words chilled me, leaving me wondering what had happened to the man I thought I knew so well.“What the hell do you even mean!” I furrowed my eyebrows and shouted at Trist
ElaineFear gripped me, paralyzing me where I stood. I tried to move, but my feet felt glued to the floor, my knees trembling. Tristan was getting closer, and I couldn’t think of anything to do except close my eyes and brace for the worst.Oh, shoot. He looks angry now.I admit, seeing Tristan angry and ferocious filled me with fear. I mean, come on! What could a she-wolf like me have against a formidable alpha like him? Tristan may have been a jerk and stupid in his thinking, but in battle, he was an alpha for a reason.Suddenly, another voice broke through the tension.“Hey! Leave Elaine alone!”Trevor rushed to my side, confronting Tristan. Tristan glared at Trevor, his breath shallow.“What the hell are you doing? This is between me and my wife. Stay out of this.”But Trevor refused to move and instinctively positioned himself between me and Tristan. Tristan showed his teeth and mocked,“You think you’re strong enough to stand your ground?”“If I were you, I wouldn’t do anything f
