ElaineI absently pushed my food around my plate. Chinese fried rice and vegetable dumplings were my absolute favorite, yet somehow, they tasted bland. It wasnโt bad or lacking seasoning. Itโs just that the food didnโt give me the same enthusiasm for eating because Trevor didnโt prepare it for me.Trevor had always insisted on cooking for me. He loved spoiling me, plating my meals like we were in some fancy restaurant, cooking, or sometimes bringing home takeout. He loved watching me with that satisfied smirk as I took my first bite. "You like it, donโt you?" heโd tease, even though he already knew the answer.I used to roll my eyes and call him smug, but deep down, I loved it. I loved the way heโd lean against the counter, arms crossed, and waited for my verdict. I loved the way heโd sneak an extra serving onto my plate when he thought I wasnโt looking. I even loved the way heโd fuss over me eating enough, despite the fact that he was the real overindulger between us.Now, the kitche
ElaineI wasnโt a party girl, but I knew what the complimentary drinks meant. This kind of scene was probably normal in clubs, but I just wasnโt interested. I handed the drinks to Sarah and the others, and they happily took them. That was fine with me. I wasnโt here to make friends with strangers. I just wanted to have fun with my friends.One of the guys looked a bit annoyed and whispered something to his friend. . I caught the subtle exchange but brushed it off. His opinion didnโt matter.Sarah and the rest went back to dancing. I stood nearby and observed them. I sipped my juice and watched them enjoy themselves. They danced like they had nothing to be embarrassed about. That was a good thing, though. It meant tonight was really helping them let go of all the stress from work.Well, that includes my problem with Trevor. Their dancing got wilder as the night went on. That thing showed just how much they had been drinking. One drink turned into another, and soon, I was the only one
ElaineEveryone turned around immediately. My eyes widened seeing Tristan standing behind me. His eyes were glaring at the two guys. โWhatโs your problem?โ The one with the red hair confronted Tristan. The other one smirked, clearly unbothered with his appearance. And yet, he shared what was on his mind. "Another wolf who wanted to play the hero.โ Tristan scoffed. The guys didnโt like the smugness in his face and pushed him on his chest. โIf you want to impress a woman, go find someone else. Sheโs ours.โ Tristan removed the dust on his chest while smirking. โUnfortunately, I canโt do your request. This girl is mine.โ He proudly said. โWHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?!โ I shouted inside my head. But I was smart enough to know I wasnโt supposed to go against Tristan. If I pushed Tristan like usual, these guys wouldnโt let me get away. So I remained tight on my lips. โWhy donโt you guys find something else to have fun with? Aside from harassing my girl.โ Tristan demanded them. He waved
Elaine I didnโt 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. โThis clearly is not a good option either.โ 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 couldnโt 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. โWhat if Tristan did that so he could do something to me?โ 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
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. Itโs 8 oโclock. 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 didnโt 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. โA good day isnโt it?โ I suddenly told my spirit wolf. โHmmm. Iโll say a better day compared to what you had late
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.โLetโs eat,โ I said, smiling at Trevor.Trevorโs smile suddenly faded. I looked at him, wanting to ask what was wrong.โUmmโฆ you knowโฆโ he said hesitantly. โAbout what happened.โโShhh.โ I stepped closer and hugged him. โItโs alright now, my love. Letโs leave that in the past.โI saw the relief in his eyes as he hugged me back.โIโll try to be betterโฆ for us,โ Trevor assured me.โYouโre always doing your best, my love.โTrevor pressed a sweet kiss to my forehead and thanked me.โDid you order the usual?โI 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
TristanMy hands shook as I held the piece of paper I had received on my desk.โThis canโt be real.โI 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.โItโs overโฆโ 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, Elaineโs 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 meโฆpens, papers, even the glass of water and sent them crashing to the floor.
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."Wellโฆ I already told you, I have a girlfriend. And she wouldn't be impressed with the attention you're giving me." I chuckled playfully.โAwwโฆBut itโs just lunchโโ"Sorry, ladies, you came too late. Someone already owns my heart."The she-wolves surrounding me pouted."Come onโฆ saying yes just once wouldnโt 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. Iโm sure theyโd love every single one of you.""But no one will ever beat you.""YEAH!" another one exclaimed. "I mean, who wouldnโt want a guy like you? YOU
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 weโd 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.โYou look lovely,โ he whispered and smiled.โTrevor is such a lucky guy. I wish you the best,โ Mrs. Smith said.โThank you,โ I uttered. Even if the Moon Goddess hadnโt 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 peopleโs faces lit up. They were full of life and joy after the defeat of Travis. Thereโs 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 couldnโt be avoided. But thanks to the prosperity of this great pack, everyoneโs 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 rogueโs 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 didnโt 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."Youโre getting slow, Travis!" Tristan shouted with a bloody smile."Youโll die slow!" Travis growled back a
ElaineโWhat the hell are you doing here?โ 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 wouldnโt 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 Travisโs 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. Weโre 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 anythingโanythingโjust 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 wasnโt 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 youโre in good shape," Callum said in my head."I have to be," I replied. "Iโve got an ass to kick back home. Itโs now or never, Callu
TristanโHow long should we wait here?!โ I exclaimed in frustration, hitting the door with my bare fist. โWe canโt just stand here doing nothing!โIt had been a week since Travis captured my brother. A full week, and still no progress on Trevorโs rescue. The cabin was thick with the heavy stench of frustration and fear. Travis was too unpredictable to guess his next move, and I couldnโt 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 Mikeโs 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 didnโt show it the same way I did, I knew they were ready to fight for him.โCalm down, Alpha. Emotions wonโt get us anywhere,โ Jared said cautiously.โCalm down?!โ I snapped, turning on him. โYouโve 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 Travisโ throne. "I didnโt 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 shouldnโt 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. "Iโm sure youโre 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. "Donโt 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 packโs 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.โNo! PleaseโฆDonโtโโTravis' 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
