TRISTAN

I shouldn’t be here.

I knew that.

Hell, I’d told myself a hundred times on the way over. Reminded myself that Eleanor wasn’t mine, that she had made her choice. That it didn’t fucking matter how my body had reacted to hers in the office earlier, how every second of that damn conversation had been a struggle not to reach for her, not to test the pull between us.

But I was here anyway.

Because something was wrong.

And I wasn’t the kind of man who ignored things just because they were inconvenient.

My fingers curled into a fist at my side as I stood outside her door, jaw clenched. The moment between us earlier replayed in my head, sharp and unforgiving. The way she’d looked at me, the way her body had reacted to mine, the way I had almost lost control and fucking kissed her right there in my office.

I had barely pulled back in time.

Because she was still Cedric’s wife.

Even now, the thought sent something dark rolling through me, something ugly and possessive. It wasn’t just jeal

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   Shadows of the past

    TRISTANA part of me had always known.Maybe not the details, not the cruelty of it all—but I had known that Cedric would never hold onto Eleanor the way he should have. That knowledge sat heavy in my chest even now, a day after she had spoken the truth aloud.He cast her out. After everything.The words rang in my mind, over and over, a slow-burning fury simmering beneath my skin. I had mastered the art of control, of measured responses, but the thought of her—of Kate—being discarded so easily made something sharp twist inside me.I hadn’t let her see it. But it was there, lurking beneath the surface.I exhaled slowly, leaning back in my chair. The morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of my office. Maurice sat across from me, arms folded, his brows furrowed in thought. He had been pacing earlier, a sign of his agitation, but now he sat still, watching me carefully.“You know.” Maurice’s voice broke the silence. It wasn’t a question.I nodded. “Eleanor told me herself.”

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   Unspoken wounds

    ELEANOR“Lord Tristan.”The title felt unnatural on my tongue, too formal. But we weren’t alone. And after everything that had happened, I needed that small barrier between us.The crisp scent of dew lingered in the air, the soft crunch of gravel beneath my boots filling the silence. Tristan stood a few feet away, his back straight, his expression unreadable as he turned toward me.“Eleanor.” His voice was unreadable. He held himself with the same controlled composure he always did, but I knew better. I could see the tension in the way his hands curled at his sides, the slight shift in his stance. He was bracing himself.For a moment, neither of us spoke.I took a shaky breath. “I’m sorry. For running away that night.”The words were quiet but heavy. I had run—not just from him, but from what I felt, from what being close to him meant. Guilt twisted in my chest. “I shouldn’t have left like that.”Tristan's eyes flickered with something unreadable before he exhaled, shaking his head.

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   Fractured silence

    BEATRICEMoonclaw was restless.It was an unease that stretched beyond the quiet murmurs of the pack. It was Cedric. The weight of his frustration settled over everything like a shadow no one could shake.I've seen it before—this slow, simmering agitation that built in the marrow of a man who had lost control. But this time, it was different. This was about Eleanor.And that made him dangerous.I watched him from the corner of the room, his posture stiff, his hands curled into restless fists at his sides. His eyes flickered toward the window as though expecting someone to walk through it at any moment. “He hasn’t slept,” Aurora murmured beside me, arms folded as she leaned against the wall. Her face was composed, but I knew her well enough to see the concern hiding beneath it. “Or eaten much, for that matter.”“He won’t,” I said, voice quiet. “Not until he convinces himself he has done everything possible to bring her back.”Aurora’s jaw tightened. “We can’t let him do something rec

    ELEANORI kept myself busy. That was the only way to survive today.The morning had barely begun, and I had already mastered the art of avoidance. I made sure to stay within Kate’s orbit, her tiny fingers curled around mine as she chattered about things only a three-year-old could find endlessly fascinating. Mom hovered close. I could feel her watching me, measuring my silence, dissecting my movements.Tristan was nowhere in sight. I had made sure of that.It wasn’t easy. Every nerve in my body was attuned to him, a constant awareness that lingered no matter how hard I tried to push it down. I felt him before I saw him. Caught glimpses of him in my peripheral vision. A shadow, a presence pressing against the edges of my control.I refused to look.Kate tugged on my sleeve, pulling me back to the present. "Mommy, look! I made a flower!" She held up a handful of crushed petals, her bright eyes gleaming with pride."That’s beautiful, sweetheart." I forced a smile, brushing a loose curl f

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   Unraveling threads

    TRISTANShe was gone.My arm stretched across the space where she had been, fingers curling into emptiness, into fucking nothing. And yet, my skin still tingled where she had been against me just hours ago. The scent of her—wildflowers and something uniquely Eleanor—still clung to the pillows, taunting me with a ghost of her presence.I closed my eyes, willing myself to push back the ache forming in my chest. I had thought—fuck, I had hoped—that last night had meant something. That we would finally stop running from whatever this was between us.But she was gone.Just like before.My jaw clenched as I forced myself to sit up. Last night had been everything. But if I had learned anything about Eleanor, it was that she wasn’t ready to admit that. I rubbed a hand down my face and exhaled sharply, forcing my mind back into control. Fine. She needed space? I would give it to her. But I wasn’t letting her go. Not this time.A sharp knock on the door shattered the silence.“Fuck off,” I mut

  • Back Into The Alpha’s Arms   The morning after

    ELEANOR I woke before dawn, the world still cloaked in darkness, the only sound in the room was the steady rhythm of Tristan’s breathing beside me.For a moment, I didn’t move. Couldn’t move.My body was still heavy, still humming with the remnants of last night—the heat of his mouth on me, the way he had unraveled me, worshipped me, made me come apart with nothing but his tongue and fingers. It had been intoxicating, overwhelming, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.The memory alone sent a pulse of liquid heat between my thighs.Because it wasn’t supposed to be like this.It wasn’t supposed to feel this good.I had been with Cedric for years, had shared a bed with him more times than I could count. And yet—nothing, nothing—had ever come close to what Tristan had done to me.And the worst part?He hadn’t even fucked me.Just his mouth. Just his hands. And it had been enough to make me see stars, enough to make me lose myself in a way I never had before.Heat crawled up my
