Elara does move faster, but roughly, and I can tell from the set of her shoulders that she's annoyed.

Fine. So am I.

A few seconds later, she shuts the water off and shoves me to the side when she walks past me. It's not too hard, but I move anyway, since she obviously wants me out of her way. She grabs a towel without a single glance in my direction, and disappears through the bathroom door in quiet fury.

I turn the water back on and adjust the temperature, which is actually a gesture I perfor

  • We’re Divorcing, Alpha (On Live TV)   Bad Day

    "Elara," I manage to say, a few seconds later, since neither of them seems to notice my presence.I expect her to startle. To sit up quickly and look guilty— I don't know why I expect this exactly, but I expect it anyway.She doesn't do it.Instead, my wife turns her head toward me without moving anything else, she looks at me and sighs through her nose like I am a huge inconvenience. Then she turns her head again, looking up at the sky like I’m not here. "What are you doing, Elara?" I push, "Why are you soaking wet? What is going on?""We jumped in the lake, swam a little," she responds, voice calm, "And now we're drying off in the sun. It's not that complicated.”“But wh—““Can you leave?” She interrupts me, “You're fucking up the vibe. We’re connecting with nature and I know you’re not into that, so… leave."I do not leave. I do not move. I just stand here and look at my wife lying on another man's body while they’re supposedly ‘connecting with nature’ and my brain just goes comp

  • We’re Divorcing, Alpha (On Live TV)   Hold It Down

    As soon as I see the lake, I know what’s going to happen. When I was young, I was too much of a prude to strip down at the lake back home. And Adrian was always too much of a good guy to make me feel bad about it. So we developed the system of jumping in whatever we were wearing, which was deeply impractical and deeply fun at the same time. And something we did almost every day for a long, long time. Which is why I'm not surprised when Adrian doesn't slow down at all. I have just enough time to take a full breath before we hit the cold-as-fuck water.I go under, feel my feet find the bottom, and push up hard, breaking the surface gasping."Fuck! Oh, god," I let out, which is all I have for a moment, and then I notice two figures running toward us from the bank and have one panicked second before I realize they're production staff with long microphones, sprinting to catch whatever we say. I ignore them completely and turn back to Adrian, who surfaces a second later."Holy shit," he

  • We’re Divorcing, Alpha (On Live TV)   Run Away

    As soon as the cameras start rolling, Mariah leads me to Adrian’s cabin before going back to work. I knock on the front door, then I stand there for long enough that I start feeling like an idiot, rehearsing reasons to be here in case Paulie answers, but then the door opens and it's Adrian."Hey, Ella," he says, taking a small step back like he wasn't expecting me at all, which he probably wasn't, "What's up?""Not much. I'm bored and I need to just get away for a bit. Want to skip communal breakfast and go somewhere, just us?"I watch his expression move through confusion, intrigue, and then settle into something that looks like genuine delight. His smile starts growing. Slow and unstoppable."Just like back in the day, huh?" he finally asks, and looks over his shoulder once—a quick, guilty glance at his wife, the one he’s totally going to sneak away from—then he steps out and pulls the door shut behind him, "Let's go. Fast."We walk away fast, then faster, and then we're basically

  • We’re Divorcing, Alpha (On Live TV)   Motivational Chat

    The need to be with Kael is still present the next morning, along with the general discomfort of being pregnant with a baby who needs something I don’t have. I give the need ten minutes of aggressive ignoring while I brush my teeth and it does not go away, and then I give it ten more minutes while I get dressed, but it does nothing. So… that’s when I make the executive decision to simply do what my body and soul both want.Of course Kael is not in the cabin, so I ask our assistant producer to show me where his temporary office is.Once I’m right outside his door, I start second-guessing this executive decision. Because what if he just tells me to leave? What if I’ve walked all this way at almost eight in the morning to be dismissed in under sixty seconds, which would be on-brand for him and devastating for my dignity?But then I think about the kisses. I think about the fact that I was not alone in any of them. He was there, present, involved and wanting it as much as I did. He was

  • We’re Divorcing, Alpha (On Live TV)   Undeserved

    "Alright. I'm going to need everyone to act distracted," the main producer says, then turns to me, "Elara, you need to be a little more emotional than normal, alright? Please."He continues with more instructions for me and once he's done, he counts down on his fingers until the livestream resumes.I take a deep breath. And then I go off on Kael.He helps me by bringing up the comment again and I let myself feel more than I normally would, firing back at him about whatever I can reach for. In the background I can hear Danielle Drover's voice addressing the public from the studio, smooth and reassuring, telling everyone it was a false alarm, just rumors, nothing to worry about, because everything is perfectly fine!Meanwhile, I shove Kael in the chest."—and I'm sick of you!" "Stop acting insane," Kael mutters, low enough that it sounds private, "They're about to resume full broadcast, Elara. Let it go.""No! I hate that you only care about your image and never about my feelings!" I s

  • We’re Divorcing, Alpha (On Live TV)   It Feels Illegal

    My heart is going crazy as I watch people on the screen yelling and fleeing in every direction, but I can't actually see anything happening—no rogues, no visible threat, just the loud chaos of a crowd that has decided something is very wrong and is acting accordingly. It's the fear that spreads fastest, always. The thing itself comes second.Kael is out of his seat before I've fully processed what's happening.He walks straight to the screen as if being physically closer to it will grant him more information, which is not how screens work, but apparently it's an alpha instinct because Adrian does the exact same thing two seconds later. Now they're both standing there, side by side, arms crossed, watching the feed with intense energy. They are clearly very used to being in charge of situations and not being in charge of this one is visibly bothering both of them in identical ways.Beside the screen, the main producer is still murmuring into his earpiece. I watch him carefully, becau
