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 behi
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 Trista
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 fo
Elaine“Ready?”I nodded at Trevor's question, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety bubbling inside me. Trevor nodded back, and we both stepped into the elevator. As he pressed the button for the 12th floor, my heart raced. This was my big chance, and I couldn't mess it up.I glanced at the mirror inside the elevator, my mind swirling with curiosity and anticipation. What kind of wolf was the CEO? Was he fierce and commanding, or perhaps more cunning and strategic? I couldn't help but imagine the stories that must surround such a powerful figure. As the elevator ascended, my excitement grew, and my thoughts raced even faster. When we finally reached our floor, I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves before stepping out.The 12th floor was surprisingly plain. It was just a typical office with white walls and a normal ceiling. Nothing was special or extravagant. As we walked down the hallway, I noticed a huge company logo on the left side. Finally, something unique. The logo
ElaineI was caught off guard, shocked by his statement. Fear of failing to grasp success washed over me. But with the remaining determination and courage, I cleared my throat once again and continued in a louder voice."I am here as a representative of Roma Aesthetics to discuss a potential collaboration with Everett Innovations on our new marketing campaign. We believe that partnering with your esteemed company would greatly enhance the impact and reach of our initiative, and it would be an honor to have your expertise and innovation driving this project forward.""Ahh," Mr. Everett responded with a single word. Then he turned his attention toward the pile of papers in front of him. As I went on with my short report, he only gave me a few nods and an uninterested look. I still continued up to the last moment, despite the growing lump in my throat and the sting of tears welling up in my eyes."Thank you for your time, Mr. Everett," I said, my voice trembling. I felt hopeless, thinking
Elaine Inside the expensive limousine, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Trevor was beside me, and we were both clearly in awe of the luxurious vehicle we were in. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen, and to be honest, it was a bit overwhelming for me too. Since we boarded the car, which was exclusively owned by the chairman, no one had dared to speak a single word. The silence was almost suffocating as I sat there with Mr. Everett and Trevor. Trevor looked puzzled, clearly trying to piece together how we ended up in this situation. Half an hour into the ride, his curiosity got the better of him. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "I’ll give you a minute to explain what’s happening right now." I met his gaze, scratched my head, and leaned closer to him. "It would be wise to explain things later," I replied softly. The silence resumed, heavier than before, until Mr. Everett took a deep breath. Out of nowhere, he began to speak, breaking the quiet with a st
Elaine“LEO!!!” I rushed to hug the kid, my heart aching at the sight of him. Lyndon and Trevor’s jaws dropped when they saw him too. Lyndon looked devastated, clearly upset about his grandson’s current situation. The kid was very dirty, probably hadn’t taken a proper shower for months. His arms were thin and looked very unhealthy, likely from not having enough food. Leo hugged me back tightly.“It’s been a while. Where have you been?” I asked excitedly.Leo started telling stories with the innocence only a child could have. “I went to Fishville to work. Someone asked me to run some errands and in return—” Leo pulled out some money from his pocket and showed it to me with a bright smile. “The kind man gave me 5 bucks. It was honest work and I’m happy about it.”Leo looked so satisfied and content with his little earnings that it broke my heart. I smiled at his innocence but couldn’t help feeling pity for the poor child. Just then, Trevor approached me from behind and started coughing
ElaineThe office was filled with cheering and bright smiles. I could feel the weight of the biggest milestone the company had ever achieved. Even the head of the marketing team was speechless at how things had turned out for the whole company. Suddenly, I was startled as someone grabbed my hands from behind. A man was shaking my hands without permission."Congratulations, Miss Elaine Smith," the strange man smiled widely at me.I just gave him an awkward smile. He walked away like he had done something completely normal. I chuckled at the interaction and tried to look for Marie, but my co-workers were so eager to congratulate me. One of the pioneers of the marketing team raised his voice, capturing everyone's attention."Who would have thought our best employee here could pull off such an impossible task?"Everyone murmured, but with smiles on their faces. Their attention was all locked on me, making me feel a bit uncomfortable yet fulfilled. Not long ago, no one believed I could do i
TristanOnce the final decision was made, the council members quickly moved on. They gathered their notes and folders and stacked them on the table without a second thought. Their focus was elsewhere. Their movements were smooth and natural. Again, they acted as if I wasn’t even there.Not one of them looked my way. Not one of them showed the slightest hint of interest or even acknowledgment after the meeting ended. It was as if I was just another wolf sitting among them. That I was present only out of formality and nothing more.As they got ready to leave, a tight feeling settled in my chest. I couldn’t ignore it. My pride as Alpha wouldn’t let me sit there in silence. I couldn’t hold back anymore. So, I raised my hand and tried to get their attention.“I don’t appreciate being made to feel like I’m no longer needed here.”My voice was calm enough but I am sure they all realized the firmness and authority I wrapped beneath those words. I might be disregarded but I am still the one
TristanThe morning air was crisp as I woke before dawn. The faint glow of early light barely crept through my window. I stretched, running a hand through my tousled hair My mind was already set. Today, I had made a decision, one I hadn’t made in a long time.Pushing back the covers, I rose from the bed and moved through the familiar routine of getting ready. The mirror showed a face I hardly knew. I saw a wolf with tired eyes, a hard jaw, and a shadow of the Alpha I once was. For too long, I had stayed away and neglected my duty. My mind had been full of thoughts of Elaine and all the mistakes I made and the things I could no longer fix. I forgot my responsibilities while drowning in my past.But now, the divorce was final. The last connection was broken, and nothing could hold me back anymore. Today, I decided to pick up the pieces and focus on the work I had neglected for so long. For today, it was time to get back that Alpha side of me. My shoes tapped against the wooden floor a
ElaineSpending time with Trevor always made me happy. Dinner was wonderful. We decided to go to a nice French restaurant for a change. While we both loved Chinese food, we agreed to try something different this time.I twirled the last bite of pasta around my fork and enjoyed the creamy sauce. Across from me, Trevor leaned back in his chair. He was looking happy and relaxed. The soft light from the restaurant’s chandelier made his eyes shine.I felt my cheeks warm. He looked so handsome in my eyes! "You always do that," he said with a small smile, looking at my plate.I tilted my head. "Do what?""Save the best bite for last."I laughed. "Of course! The last bite should be the best one, right?"Trevor chuckled. "That makes sense. Maybe I should start doing that too.""Or maybe you should stop eating so fast," I teased.He laughed louder this time, shaking his head. "Hey, it’s not my fault. The steak was really good."I smiled and felt warm inside. Everything about this night felt ri
Trevor"Good morning, Sir Trevor!" A she-wolf from the distant desk enthusiastically greeted me.As usual, these she-wolves never let me have a peaceful morning at work. One of them approached."Are you free later for lunch? A new store just opened right in front of our building. Wanna check it out?"She leaned her body against my arm. I slowly pulled away and freed myself from her grip."Well… I already told you, I have a girlfriend. And she wouldn't be impressed with the attention you're giving me." I chuckled playfully.“Aww…But it’s just lunch—”"Sorry, ladies, you came too late. Someone already owns my heart."The she-wolves surrounding me pouted."Come on… saying yes just once wouldn’t hurt her feelings."Awkwardly, I tried to change the topic."If you want, I can set up a date with some guys I know from our sister company. I’m sure they’d love every single one of you.""But no one will ever beat you.""YEAH!" another one exclaimed. "I mean, who wouldn’t want a guy like you? YOU
TristanMy hands shook as I held the piece of paper I had received on my desk.“This can’t be real.”I checked every corner of the paper to verify the legitimacy of the signature and the mail. Seeing the real signature and stamp made it even more convincing. At that moment, reality hit me like a slap.“It’s over…” My soul whispered to me.Yes, Elaine was gone. She was no longer tied to my life, and this divorce paper served as proof. I had lost this battle, despite doing everything to win. My hands slowly pulled the paper into my palms and crumpled it with all my might.How had I let myself lose my wife? The thought alone was unbearable. Maybe it really was too late. Maybe, at some point, Elaine’s decision had been right. My anger crawled through my veins, surfacing in my office. I growled before slamming my arms onto the desk, which seemed fragile under the force of my rage. I shoved everything in front of me…pens, papers, even the glass of water and sent them crashing to the floor.
ElaineThanks to Trevor, my normal routine was back on track. Those little things that always warmed me inside were finally back. His presence made everything brighter. Trevor was finally home. And this home finally felt complete.“Let’s eat,” I said, smiling at Trevor.Trevor’s smile suddenly faded. I looked at him, wanting to ask what was wrong.“Umm… you know…” he said hesitantly. “About what happened.”“Shhh.” I stepped closer and hugged him. “It’s alright now, my love. Let’s leave that in the past.”I saw the relief in his eyes as he hugged me back.“I’ll try to be better… for us,” Trevor assured me.“You’re always doing your best, my love.”Trevor pressed a sweet kiss to my forehead and thanked me.“Did you order the usual?”I nodded and carefully laid out the food on the table. He went to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed some plates for both of us. As he carefully served the food, I noticed a change in his smile. And I knew mine had changed too. Our happiness was intertwined. Wi
ElaineFinally, after a long week, Sunday came. No office papers, no work, no pressure. Nothing beats the morning sun with nothing ahead in my time. It’s 8 o’clock. My body is already used to waking up early even during the weekend. A quiet and peaceful day. I played some soft music and decided to start my day doing some chores. During my work days, I didn't have plenty of time to clean. So usually, Sunday is a cleaning day. The soft music calmed my brain activity. Every worry left in me. For the first time in a week, I feel lighter and stress free. I started cleaning the living room. It didn’t have much mess since I was here all alone. The 2 rooms were also almost nothing to clean aside from the dust remaining in desks and shelves. Since I haven't been preparing food much lately. I only ordered food outside and was expecting a Chinese food delivery around lunch time. “A good day isn’t it?” I suddenly told my spirit wolf. “Hmmm. I’ll say a better day compared to what you had late
Elaine I didn’t know why I let myself mindlessly follow him. Tristan was walking in front of me all quiet. Even I didn't even dare to speak to him. Though my head has a lot of thoughts running tirelessly. “This clearly is not a good option either.” I told myself while staring at his back. But anyone with their right mind would do the same thing. Compared to those perverts from that bar, Tristan was a lesser jerk. Still, I couldn’t even imagine where I have to deal with him again. The truth annoys me too. No matter how badly I think of him, Tristan saved me tonight. Unfortunately, I knew saying my gratitude would be like swallowing a whole piece of watermelon. “What if Tristan did that so he could do something to me?” This question that randomly popped in my head sending shivers into my spine. My heart pounded like crazy. It was possible for this jerk to do that. He was basically the same as the perverts if I would give it a deep thought. I grabbed my purse so hard from nervousn
ElaineEveryone turned around immediately. My eyes widened seeing Tristan standing behind me. His eyes were glaring at the two guys. “What’s your problem?” The one with the red hair confronted Tristan. The other one smirked, clearly unbothered with his appearance. And yet, he shared what was on his mind. "Another wolf who wanted to play the hero.” Tristan scoffed. The guys didn’t like the smugness in his face and pushed him on his chest. “If you want to impress a woman, go find someone else. She’s ours.” Tristan removed the dust on his chest while smirking. “Unfortunately, I can’t do your request. This girl is mine.” He proudly said. “WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?!” I shouted inside my head. But I was smart enough to know I wasn’t supposed to go against Tristan. If I pushed Tristan like usual, these guys wouldn’t let me get away. So I remained tight on my lips. “Why don’t you guys find something else to have fun with? Aside from harassing my girl.” Tristan demanded them. He waved
