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
TristanI felt the oozing lust in the way Elaine looked at me. But at the same time, I caught a glance of tremendous desperation in her. That broke me into pieces.“I promise. We will get through this night together,” I responded.Elaine smiled. There was still some sense left in her. I knew it was the drug that was doing this to her.Soon enough, Elaine folded her knees and held onto her chest. The pain struck her.“I feel warm inside… so warm that I can’t take this anymore… help me, Tristan.” Then violently, Elaine pulled my arms into a hug.After years of struggling through a life without her, the embrace that felt like home touched my skin again.“Your hug is like water quenching decades of thirst in my body.” Her breathing became heavy in my ears.Elaine pulled the back of my head.“Hey, handsome.” Her voice started to sing a different melody. Elaine now wore a tune of seduction.I instantly pulled away from her embrace.“No, Elaine. Stop this.”Earlier, Elaine was begging desper
TristanI carried Elaine until we reached the camp. I put her inside our quarters before confronting Elsa. Elsa was completely calm. From the outside, we could hear Elaine’s agony, but these wolves seemed to have no care at all. By the way they stood and portrayed strange calmness, it was like everyone expected it to happen.“Something is off about your medicine!” I shouted at Elsa. “You’re not deaf to hear those screams, are you? Why are you standing here doing nothing?!”Elsa suddenly jumped from the porch, launching at me. It was good that my reflexes were fast enough to dodge the attack. I jumped away from her group.“What the fuck was that?” I exclaimed. Ruther and Mike didn’t bother to help and just watched.The second I removed my eyes from Elsa, she launched another surprise attack. This time, I saw an injection in her hand. I jumped to the side, dodging another shot.“Stop running away,” Elsa told me.Elsa twisted her left ankle and pounced on my whole body. She managed to
TristanI looked at Elaine, checking every detail of her body. Clearly, the exhaustion in her body was pushed to its limits. We made it up to the last second. The training was a success. But at what cost?“Elaine… Can you hear me?” I asked her.I felt something was odd with her body heat. I touched Elaine’s forehead using the tip of my fingers. It was as hot as a kettle. Her body temperature was soaring high.“This is bad…” I muttered, turning my head around, seeking Elsa and Ruther.Elaine started moaning because of the fever. She twitched her body in different directions. I saw how Elaine clenched her fist, battling against the pain in her.“Elsa!” I called out to her.I gently placed Elaine’s head on the soft pillow and grabbed the towel I threw earlier. Then I soaked it deep into the water in the sink, ran back to Elaine, and placed it on her forehead.“Don’t worry, you’re gonna be alright.” I carefully wiped her head down to her neck, hoping the wet towel would help with the high
TristanA soul binding? I have never heard such a word. I never knew such a thing existed in our timeline.I put my hands on my head, feeling helpless, not knowing what to do or how to help. Is it even safe? Will it throw Elaine into danger?“This is the most vital part of being a Silvermare. Finally, her wolf wholeheartedly accepted Elaine.”“I don’t understand a single word you say. But this could kill Elaine. She’s not ready to morph. She’s not ready for this.”Elsa countered with a much louder voice.“It wasn’t you who would decide that. It’s her wolf.”Elsa has a point. I have no right to any part of Elaine’s life. I wish to know what’s running inside Elaine’s wolf. Why did she choose Elaine over everybody else? Her gift only leads her to more pain.Elaine continued the process. I could barely stand the sight. The groans of pain drilled into my head. I tried to turn away my gaze.My heart ached and pierced right through my soul. I slammed my arms against the ground in frustration
TristanElaine suddenly emitted a beaming light coming out from her body. Those bursting beams penetrated the whole area. We took more steps away from Elaine. Elsa and Ruther stood tall in front of Elaine who levitated more into the ground. Probably the same height as the tall trees around us. Fear succumbed to my heart. I was scared and confused as hell. I’m like a child witnessing some things only adults could understand. “ELAINE!” I called out to her. My veins popped on my neck as I tried to scream her name. Her eyes were glowing yellow, shining so much that it made my eyebrows scrunched protecting my eyes. Elsa smirked. While Ruther remains unshaken. These two looked at Elaine like they had witnessed this kind of stuff before. “Now, you will see a Silvermare’s true form,” Elsa proudly declared. Elaine flows with the air. She dances with it. Elaine totally lost will over her own body. The place soon filled with more blazing lights, sparkling magically on the river and any li
TristanThe waterfall crashed down with so much force. It had overpowered many before, and now, it was pushing Elaine to her limit.“10 more minutes!” I shouted as loud as I could. “It’s just a blink of an eye, and you’ll be done!”From where I stood, I could see how much she was struggling. Her whole body was shaking, her legs barely able to keep her up. She was trying so hard to stay standing, but I knew she was almost at her breaking point.At that moment, I had to accept the truth.Ten minutes probably felt like forever to her. The training had reached its hardest point, and Elaine just couldn’t hold on much longer. No matter how badly she wanted to, her body was giving out.Hope left in me. I know as Elaine’s mate, there was nothing more to do. I threw the towel in already, as a way of saying we did well at this training. This is brutal enough for Elaine’s physique. I knew from the start it was an impossible task. “That’s enough,” I shouted at Elsa. I went down to the water, tr
ElaineAnother boost of energy surged through my body, but exhaustion was creeping in. I knew 30 minutes wasn’t that long anymore. I was so close to the finish line. Yet, the relentless force of the waterfall felt heavier than before, pressing down on my shoulders like a mountain. My muscles screamed in protest, and my breathing turned ragged.My knees started to bend, trembling under the weight of my own exhaustion. I clenched my fists, digging my nails into my palms, desperate to keep myself upright. I couldn’t fail now. Not when I had come this far. Not when Tristan was watching, his eyes filled with silent encouragement.“20 more minutes. Hang in there a little longer, please.” Maybe Tristan saw how I was about to lose consciousness that’s why he’s yelling desperately. I know I have little to no strength to continue. But I am almost there at the finish line. At that point, I decided to call out to my spirit wolf. “Neeya…” I whispered at the back of my head. My body lost balanc
ElaineHis words mean a lot to me. It added some boost to my energy. This training improved my relationship with Tristan. We learned to work like a real team. We did well until the first 3 hours. My knees gave up on me again. Elsas stood up from her spot and yelled. “3 hours wasted, Elaine. You let the 3 hours of hard work be taken away by that fall.”Her yelling added another weight like usual. Soon, my mind and body won't work as one. As I see the disappointed face of Elsa, my mind sends signals of pressure and discomfort. My body reacted along with Elsa’s words. It lost half of its strength because I was nervous. Under the waterfall, I feel like a warrior battling for the lives of others. As long as I don’t master this special gift as a Silvermare, more lives will be put in danger. This is war already. So I gathered my strength again and stood tall. I didn’t guard the time. Until I realized how much time had passed when Ruther called out Tristan. “You did it, Alpha Tristan.” T
ElaineThe next day came, and everyone acted like nothing happened. But I could somehow sense Ruther’s awkward stance towards us. Meanwhile, Mike was left in the cabin like usual.I tried to read Tristan’s mind. But he was strangely quiet throughout our journey. I’m not sure if everyone still dwells in the story of Elsa’s past. I was staring behind her. My heart aches for Elsa. I could definitely not handle her tragedy if that was me. Truly, as a she-wolf, Elsa is an admirable lady for her strength and resilience. “I forgot to tell you something…” Elsa suddenly speaks, still leading our way to the waterfalls. “What is it?” I humbly asked. “If you can’t pass the training today, I believe this has to stop. It’s gonna be pointless anyway.”Tristan suddenly stopped from walking. I bumped into his huge back. “Did I hear it right?” Tristan asked. Elsa didn’t say anything. Tristan chased her. It’s not just him. Even I was shocked to hear about this last training. Though my body recovere
