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,
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
Megan "Hey, you! Give me another glass!"I leaned my head against my hands on the table, taking a deep breath while muttering curses about Elaine into the thin air. The bartender silently placed my order, giving me an uncomfortable look before going back to cleaning and wiping some glasses. I downed the drink like it was cold water."One glass of what the other lady ordered, please."I heard a voice from my left side and turned to see a she-wolf sitting close to me. I gave her a once-over from head to foot and rolled my eyes. The lady just chuckled and told the bartender, "Make that two. Hers is already empty."Hearing this, I spat out mean words. "Oh please, bitch. I have more money than you think. I can buy you that drink for eternity."The she-wolf removed her glasses and put them down on the table. Our orders came, but I didn’t even bother to look at them. Feeling the irritation bubbling up inside me, I continued."Find somewhere else to sit, cunt," I gave her another look from
TristanAfter everything I had witnessed, I knew I had to do something. My mind was filled with countless thoughts about the conflict within my own territory. I knew I had to act, or I would lose my head in front of everyone.I had no idea how long I had been staring blankly at the empty seats inside the council room. But soon, I decided to head back to my office. I didn’t want to go home. As much as possible, I wanted to learn more about the welfare of the pack. I had been left behind, so I needed to adapt and make everyone realize I was still someone they could rely on as a leader.On my way to my office, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. I stepped inside one of the cubicles, relieving myself after holding it in since the meeting. Until I heard a group of wolves enter the bathroom.“I admire your patience, Gamma Jeff.” From the deep pitch of his voice, I knew right away that Gamma Ben was the one speaking.“If I were in your shoes, I would have totally lost it. It’s impossible
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
