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
ElaineThe day of the party came in an instant. I found myself standing on the doorsteps of the hotel, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. I read the huge sign on the side of the door.“Mystic Hotel… This is it,” I whispered to myself.I had arrived just in time at the venue. The hotel seemed incredibly elegant just by looking at the entrance. I took a deep breath and put on my best smile, feeling a rush of confidence as I stepped inside. I headed straight to the front office to ask for some information, and one of the employees kindly offered to lead the way towards the venue.I boarded the elevator, and the hotel employee pressed the button for the last floor, the rooftop. Excitement crawled over my skin at the thought of the view and the elegance of the party. Important wolves would be attending, so Roma Aesthetics had to give their best. I was so grateful Mr. Smith had handled everything. It was more than I could have ever expected.The elevator door opened with a soft chi
ElaineI turned quickly and walked away from them. Tonight, my intention was to have some fun, and I had no interest in interacting with them. I kept my back straight and my shoulders firm as I moved through the crowd.I could hear Megan’s disbelief as she confronted Tristan. “What’s wrong with you, Tristan?!” Those were the only words I caught before I was far enough away. I glanced back and saw Tristan and Megan still arguing. I no longer cared about their conversation and lightly shook my head, dismissing their drama.“MARIE!!” I exclaimed, spotting my friend in the corner. We were both happy to see each other, but the celebration started, cutting off our conversation. Mr. Smith stood proudly in front of everyone to give the opening speech.“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for joining us tonight. It’s wonderful to see everyone here to celebrate our success. This Thanksgiving party is a testament to our incredible year.”The visitors clapped their hands, and the employees cheered
TristanAs I walked towards Elaine, she was the only person I could see. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, words I desperately wanted to convey to her. Elaine's eyes locked onto mine, filled with disgust. Just my presence seemed to sour her mood instantly. It was painfully clear she was uncomfortable with me closing the gap between us.“At least give me a chance to talk, Elaine,” I whispered to myself.When the CEO mentioned Elaine's name, I was stunned. I couldn't wrap my mind around how she managed to achieve such a significant milestone. It seemed unbelievable that my wife had done something worthy of such pride. Every employee was cheering for her.Elaine was undeniably different from the person she used to be. She had truly changed for the better, looking more independent and capable than ever. Clearly, the company had come to rely on her skills. Memories of Elaine's true capabilities replayed in my mind. It was harsh to admit, but I had always thought of my own wife as dumb, n
MeganI looked everywhere, hunting Tristan down for a confrontation. My heart pounded with anger, and my fists clenched at my sides. I couldn't bear the humiliation since we saw each other at the party. My eyes darted around, scanning every corner of the venue, but I couldn’t find even a shadow of Tristan."Arghh! Where the hell are you, Tristan?!" I muttered through gritted teeth, my voice a low growl.Passing by the lobby, I finally saw him sitting down. My heels clicked loudly on the floor, echoing my fury as I approached. Heads turned, and I relished the attention. Tristan didn’t notice me at first, but as soon as I stood behind him with my arms crossed tightly over my chest, he quickly turned around and saw me. His face twisted into a scoff, and he started to leave without saying a word.But I was faster. I grabbed his arm, my nails digging into his skin. "Where do you think you're going?" I burst out loud, my voice shaking with rage.He quickly shoved my arm away, and I felt his
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
