ElaineI froze. My fingers tightened on my purse. I turned around and glared at him. I didn’t hide my annoyance. “The party’s over, Tristan. I don’t have to pretend to like you anymore,” I scoffed. But instead of stepping back, he smiled. No, he smirked, making my blood boil. He didn’t seem to get what I was trying to say. Instead, his eyes glinted with the same arrogance he kept on showing to me. I stayed still as he stepped closer. I looked away and crossed my arms, determined not to let him pull me back in. I let him sense my irritation just by looking at him."You think this is over?" he said, his voice low and condescending. "You think you can just walk away like nothing happened? We’ve been through too much for you to act like this."I almost laughed. The audacity. "You’ve been through too much? What about me, huh? What about what you did to me?" I could feel the anger bubbling up, but I held it in, keeping my voice steady. "You don’t get to make this about you anymore. I am wa
Tristan and I turned toward the direction of the voice. I instantly felt relieved when I saw Trevor standing just a few feet away. I could see the anger and worry that was written on his face. His eyes went straight to Tristan’s grip on my arm and I immediately saw his anger. No, he was furious and immediately showed his protective nature. I hadn’t realized how much I needed to see that in someone right now and I was so glad that it was Trevor who embodied that. Trevor strode forward fast. And before I could say anything, he shoved Tristan hard enough to make him stumble back. “What the fuck?!” Tristan cursed under his breath as he fell yet Trevor didn’t even glance at him. His attention was all on me, like I was the only she-wolf that mattered in his world. And that made my heart melt. “Are you okay?” he asked gently. He sounded so worried. He hovered his hands like he wanted to touch my arm but was afraid of hurting me. I felt the lump in my throat grow. For the nth t
ElaineI froze. Suddenly, I felt the world came to a halt. I couldn't believe what just came out of his mouth. Tristan had always been a master manipulator. He was an expert in twisting truths to suit his own needs. But this? This was a different level. This was vile. This was plain evil. Judging by the crowd's frowns, his act was scarily convincing. He made himself look like the hurt husband, that he was a victim of a cheating wife and her lover. He made everyone believe he was the perfect husband who loved his wife but was betrayed in the worst possible way. He painted Trevor and me as the villain, and everyone took his bait. I could hear the murmurs in the crowd growing louder. Their judgmental eyes cut through me, like I was a lab rat they were experimenting on. Their comments about us were like sharp daggers piercing our souls. “Shameless! How could she cheat on her husband?”“She was pretending to be generous to hide her sins. Gross!”“What a lustful she-wolf. I hope karma wi
ElaineMy mind went blank when I recognized the men stepping out of the car. My breath caught in my throat. And at that moment, I felt relieved. I felt a sliver of hope cutting through the chaos.They were peacekeepers from the grand jury. I could recognize them because of their uniforms. Trevor turned toward the head peacekeeper. “Sir, why don’t you tell everyone what he did to Elaine?”The head peacekeeper gave me a quick, reassuring glance before pulling a document from his bag. He held it up for the crowd to see.“This is a copy of the restraining order that Ms. Elaine Scott filed with the court against her soon-to-be ex-husband, Mr. Tristan Hale. It was issued after Mr. Hale trespassed in her apartment and threatened her safety. The court found sufficient probable cause to grant the request.”I could feel the energy in the crowd shift as silence fell over them. The accusations they had hurled at me earlier seemed to hang in the air. They looked regretful now.I looked at Tristan.
Elaine“So, shall we go home? I think you need to rest,” Trevor asked.I nodded. I could still feel the exhaustion that the events tonight brought. But his presence was like a breath of fresh air and brought me comfort with every passing moment. He gestured for me to follow him as he led the way to where he had parked his car. As we walked, I couldn’t help but steal glances at him. He was wearing a casual shirt and was carrying a boy-next-door charm. His calm demeanor was the exact opposite of what I felt inside. It was like he was my “calm” in the middle of this storm hovering around me. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach and it caught me completely off guard. I pressed a hand to my chest as if to calm my racing heart. What is wrong with me? I scolded myself. This wasn’t the first time I’d been alone with Trevor, so why did I suddenly feel so nervous? When we reached his car, Trevor opened the door for me. His usual gentlemanly gesture somehow felt more significant now. “Than
Tristan“Get off of me! Let me go!” I shouted as I struggled against the peacekeepers’ firm grip. My anger boiled as they held me. Their calm expressions only fueled my frustration. Ah, the nerve of them to treat me like this. Aren’t they afraid of retaliation from my highly respected pack? They were stupid to treat me like this, the Alpha of the mighty Wolfsilver Pack, so they would surely pay once I got out of here.“You’re nobodies! Nothing but slaves with no status or real power! Do you know who I am? I don’t appreciate any of this!”I yanked and twisted, but they didn’t loosen their hold. I sneered at them, spitting out insult after insult, degrading them for daring to treat me this way. “I’m an Alpha!” I shouted. I was expecting my words to intimidate them. But they didn’t flinch. Not even a little. “Can you just shut up? You are so annoying,” their leader uttered. This fueled my anger further. So, to show my annoyance, I spat at him. A glob landed squarely on his cheek, m
Trevor"Would it be okay if I stayed at your place tonight?"Her words hit me like a thunderclap. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I tried to process what Elaine had just said. I wasn’t even sure if I’d heard her correctly. I glanced at her. Her expression was so genuine. It was so open that it made my chest ache. “Sure,” I replied, doing my best to sound calm like her request hadn’t just sent my mind in chaos. I returned my focus to the road. But I could feel how fast my pulse was racing. I could feel the subtle sheen of sweat forming on my forehead and resisted the urge to wipe it away. I did not want Elaine to notice how much her words were affecting me.‘It’s no big deal. She’s just spending the night,’ I told myself. But my inner wolf, Dillon, had other ideas. “What’s wrong with you, boy? She wants to be in ‘your’ apartment! She’s giving you a signal. Don’t screw this up!” I clenched my jaw and ground my teeth. “Stop it, bud,” I snapped inwardly. My hand grip
TrevorI was stunned in my place as her words echoed in my mind. “I feel so… insecure,” she’d said. Her voice was trembling. The tears streaming down her face were cutting straight to my core. It was an awful feeling seeing Elaine in tears. No, it was horrible! But her next words hit harder than any blow I’d ever taken. “Maybe you don’t find me attractive. Maybe I’m just a damaged good… not worth your time… not worthy of you.” I wanted to say something, but my throat felt like it had closed up. How could she even think that? Did she not realize how incredible she was? The idea that she doubted her worth because of me made my chest ache with guilt. Before I could respond, she turned toward the door. “If you don’t want me here, I’ll just go home,” she almost whispered.And that broke something inside me. “Wait!” I blurted out. My heart was pounding so fast as I stepped toward her. She stopped. But she didn’t turn to face me. I could see her shoulders shaking. I could hear th
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
