TristanMy room felt like a prison. The walls were cold and suffocating. I was a free wolf, but I obviously didn’t feel like one.I smirked at my own thoughts. As an Alpha, I shouldn’t have felt this way. Mom and Dad had given me a little kingdom of my own to rule. I had money to spend on anything and servants willing to do all my bidding.But none of that mattered. My mind wouldn’t stop racing. No matter how much I tried to distract myself, every thought dragged me back to the same place.After the council meeting earlier, I felt like even my birthright as Alpha could be taken away from me at any moment, just because they weren’t satisfied with my rule anymore.Pathetic, wasn’t it?I felt alone. Truly alone. I had no one to turn to. Nothing to quiet my thoughts or provide comfort when I needed it. For the first time in years, I felt the burden of being alone.My parents were long gone.My best friend, Shawn, had died years ago.Aunt Melina had lost her mind to the point where I could
ElaineI couldn’t shake the heavy feeling brewing inside me. It stayed like a shadow, always following me wherever I went. The thought just wouldn’t leave me alone.Someone wanted me dead, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Even when I tried to feel safe, my mind kept overthinking. I was even afraid to close my eyes, feeling that, at any moment, someone might barge through the door and kill me. Despite Trevor being here to accompany me, it did nothing to ease my fear. Not because I doubted his ability to protect me, but because I was afraid he would get hurt because of me again.My concerns were valid, right?Trevor must have noticed my distance. He always did. I heard his soft footsteps walking toward me and soon, he was sitting next to me. He didn’t have his usual smile. Instead, he looked worried.“You’ve been quiet all day,” he said gently, “I am not used to you being like this.”I let out a shaky breath and held the edge of the chair tightly. “How can I not be? Someone out t
ElaineThe drive to my apartment was quiet. Trevor was driving beside me, and his calm presence made me feel safer. That was something I was so grateful for.Earlier, Trevor said something that stuck in my mind. He told me I couldn’t let my fear control me. He was right. If I stayed afraid forever, I would lose who I was. I've come so far to claim my life back from my failed marriage and I couldn’t let all those efforts go to waste simply because I was afraid to die.As we arrived at the apartment complex, Trevor parked near the entrance. He looked at me and smiled. “I’ll wait here,” he said gently. “Take your time. I’m not going anywhere.”His words made me feel a little braver. “Thank you,” I said softly before stepping out of the car.Walking into the building, I felt a mysterious chill. Everything looked the same, but it didn’t feel the same. My heart started beating faster as I opened the door to my apartment. Suddenly, the memory of that awful box flashed in my mind. I stood
TristanI had not planned to follow them. It wasn’t something I’d intended to do, but the moment I saw them leaving Elaine’s apartment together, curiosity turned into an uncontrollable pull. Trevor’s car disappeared into the distance. And I found myself trailing them. I couldn't resist it. The mere sight of Elaine beside him stirred a storm within me. I noticed how she smiled at him so easily. My blood was boiling as I realized that it seemed to belong to that bastard now. It was hard to believe that she would easily give it to another wolf just like that. It felt like all the moments we shared had disappeared. It felt like those were replaced by something I couldn’t reach.“As if you shared something wonderful with Elaine. You’re not fooling anyone, Tristan,” My wolf uttered sarcastically inside my head which I chose to ignore.Even if I walked a few distances away from them, they didn’t seem to notice me. They were too engrossed in their world. Trevor’s hand guided Elaine protecti
MeganI was knee-deep in paperwork. My desk was full of piled files and documents demanding attention. The sound of the clock ticking faintly in the background was the only company I had in the silence of my office. I barely glanced up when Marie entered. But she sounded like something was urgent which made me pause.“Miss Megan, the peacekeepers are here. They said it’s about Elaine Scott,” she announced.Elaine Scott. My hand froze mid-signature. I looked up sharply and masked my unease with a calm smile. “Send them in.”Marie nodded. Then she stepped aside to let them enter. Two officers walked in. Their presence was shouting authority. I gestured toward the chairs opposite my desk. “Please, have a seat.""Thank you," They uttered before settling in. I put down the pen I was holding and smiled at them before asking, "How can I help you, officers?”One of the officers, a tall man with a stern expression, got straight to the point. “We’re investigating an incident involving Miss Ela
Elaine“Hmm…”The kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of coffee brewing and the faint sizzle of something cooking on the stove. Trevor stood at the counter with his sleeves rolled up. He was too focused on chopping vegetables with such precision that seemed almost out of place in such a casual setting. I leaned against the counter opposite him as I watched his hands move.“You’re really good at that,” I teased to break the silence. “Where did you learn to cook like this?”He glanced up at me. A playful smile appeared at the corners of his lips. “A man’s gotta eat, Elaine. Besides, you’d be surprised what a few cooking shows can teach you.”I laughed softly. And it sounded light and free. Something I hadn’t felt in days. It amazed me how easily Trevor could make me forget the heaviness that seemed to cling to me lately.“Do you want to help? Or are you just going to stand there admiring me?” he teased before tossing a piece of chopped carrot in my direction.I caught it mid-air and
ElaineTrevor and I were sitting on the sofa. We do not talk much but feel relaxed in each other’s presence. This was how we normally spent the rest of the night before going to bed. Then, we heard a knock at the door. Trevor gave me a quick nod before telling me to stay while he got up to check. My heart was pounding inside my chest. Eventually, I reminded myself to stay calm and don’t let my overthinking get the best of me. The door opened, and Liz rushed in before Trevor could say a word. She was so full of energy and was like she was bringing the sunshine into the room. In one hand, she held a paper bag that smelled amazing. In the other, she carried a pile of colorful board games that wobbled as she moved. Her smile was so big, it made me smile too. “Hope you’re both hungry!” Liz said, setting the bag on the coffee table. The smell of sesame chicken and fried rice filled the room right away. Expectedly, it made my stomach rumble.“I’m in the mood to play some games tonight. Wh
ElaineLiz didn’t say anything. Her mouth opened a little, yet no words came out of it. The usual brightness in her hazel eyes turned into something uncertain She glanced down at the floor, then back at me. The pink color in her cheeks earlier was gone. Now, her face looked pale. The happy look she had when she arrived was replaced by sadness. Her lips pressed together tightly as if she was trying to hold back her feelings.“I’m sorry,” she finally said. “I didn’t mean to ruin the mood. I should have kept quiet instead of sharing—”“Stop,” I said gently as I cut her off. I reached out and took her hand. I held her warm hand firmly to let her know what I really felt inside. “You don’t have to say sorry, Liz. You were just telling me something about your life. And I’m happy you did. That’s what best friends are for.”Her brow furrowed. "Yeah. But I don’t want to make things harder for you. I didn't even know what you were going through. What kind of best friend am I?”"It's my fault a
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
