Livia jumped in so fast to defend her, “No, Mrs Crossword… nothing like that happened. She was just talking out of nothing she even knew about. I came back when I felt like it.”

“I wasn’t talking to you.” Mrs Crossword’s voice sliced through her words. “I’m talking to my daughter.”

She didn’t even raise her tone much, but it hit hard.

The silence that followed was sharp. For a moment, very brief, I smiled. I swear, the way Livia’s eyes widened like she’d just been slapped by the moon itself was priceless. But it died quickly, especially when my gaze clashed with Tristan’s.

His eyes were red. Not human-red. Wolf-red.

“Marie. Answer me!” his mother snapped now, louder.

Marie sat frozen, her fingers were shaking. She looked like she’d just been caught doing something unforgivable. Her father’s jaw clenched with anger and disappointment. My mom who was beside me, looked down, sadness staining her face. Yeah, I ruined dinner. Again.

“I can’t believe this,” Mrs Crossword said, bitte

  • Alpha Tristan Regretted Divorcing Me    Chapter 32: The Man With Winter Eyes

    YELENAThe moment we reached home and resumed work after our suspension, I didn’t waste a breath. I marched straight into the director’s office to sign the damn contract. I wanted it done. I didn’t want Tristan to have anything else to twist or say about me. He was my past. And that was where he would stay.“What made you change your mind?” the director asked, lowering his glasses like he couldn’t see me clearly.I didn’t answer. If I did, he’d start with his jokes and sarcastic comments, and I was not in the mood. Thankfully, he didn’t push.Good moon.I dropped the pen and looked at him. “I’ve signed it.”He nodded, already focusing on the file in front of him as if I wasn’t standing there, as if I wasn’t a whole doctor with blood running in my veins. Since he had nothing else to say, I turned to leave, praying silently that he wouldn’t call me back but he did!“Dr. Moonrack.”Of course.I stopped, swallowed my frustration, and turned. He lifted the file in his hand. “This patient n

  • Alpha Tristan Regretted Divorcing Me    Chapter 30: A Wound Reopened

    YELENAWe started eating anyway.I swallowed the tightness in my throat, pretending the food was the only thing I cared about. Nyra sat beside me, her fork untouched. I knew she felt it too, the way the room felt heavy like the moon pressed its weight on us. Still, I forced myself to chew, act normal, even when Livia leaned into Tristan like she was trying to merge with him. She dragged her fingers against his arm, whispered something I couldn’t hear. Then she picked up a piece of meat and tried to feed him.He frowned but still opened his mouth. My hand tightened around my fork.Of course he did.I looked at my plate instead. It didn’t matter. That pain inside me... that burning I hated shouldn’t even exist. Why did I still feel anything watching them? How could I ever think he would leave her? That we would ever stop living like strangers with history?I pushed the feeling down and focused on the food. Just chew. Swallow. Breathe.“This is delicious as always,” Mr. Crossword commen

  • Alpha Tristan Regretted Divorcing Me    Chapter 29: It's Not Just Dinner

    YELENA“I told you to get ready hours ago. Do you want us to arrive at midnight?” I frowned, leaning against the doorframe as Nyra struggled with the zipper at her back.“It’s not my fault I didn’t see this dress earlier,” she retorted, her face scrunched in frustration. I sighed and walked toward her.“Let me,” I muttered. She dropped her hands with a defeated sigh. She’d been stubborn about us wearing similar dresses tonight. I didn’t understand why. We weren’t twins. The moon goddess didn’t birth us under the same star. But she said it made her feel like we faced things together. Mine was soft blush pink, hers was snow white. If not for the colors, we would’ve looked like little girls going to a festival at Grandma’s house.Her dress was short, lace, with tiny silver stones that caught the light beautifully. Mine was similar but off-shoulder, showcasing my neck and collarbones. I had a delicate chain resting over my skin, the small crescent moon pendant glowing faintly. Her dress

    YELENA“Can you imagine? How can he even say that to you?” Nyra groaned, throwing her arms in the air. “Was he that heartless that he thinks someone can wake up and just ruin a whole man’s life?”I exhaled, staring at the ceiling like it had answers. I had just finished telling her everything from how Tristan appeared, to every crazy word that came out of his mouth. She was pacing like a wolf trapped inside a cage.I finally sat up and hugged her. “I’m sorry,” I said softly. “I should've told you about our first encounter. I should’ve told you before I agreed not to purchase that building.”She stiffened a little then hugged me tighter. “No. Lena. You should’ve told me right, but even if you had, I would still not buy that place. We can always buy another building somewhere. It's not a big deal.”I smiled lazily. “It’s a huge deal.”She pulled back and narrowed her eyes like she was studying me closely. “If that man thinks he can just step back into your life and dominate it again, th

    YELENA“Stay away from me!” I yelled this time, louder, firmer like maybe volume would make him listen.It didn’t.Tristan moved faster than I expected and slammed me gently but firmly against the cold tiled wall. His hand caged the side of my head while his other arm blocked my escape.“Why should I, huh?” he growled softly, his eyes boring into mine. “Why should I stay away after looking for you for years?”My eyes widened. I blinked twice. Did I hear him clearly? Or did he hit his head on something on the way here?Looking for me?I let out a bitter laugh. “Stop talking nonsense. You and I both know you’d never...”“Because you ruined my life!” he snapped, cutting me off.That shut me up.“What?” The word slipped out before I could catch it.His chest rose and fell as if he’d been carrying those words for too long. “When you left, you took everything with you,” he said, his voice breaking with frustration. “You took my success. My happiness. My wolf.”My stomach dropped.What the a
