Synopsis

Winning Back the Wife

Bias

Mistress

Alpha

Tragic Love

Cheating

My fiance is the best Neuro Healer among the werewolves. His first love is his little stepsister, who once took a fatal silver arrow for him. Now, her old condition has flared up, and she has a fatal silver venom disease. She only has 21 days left to live. In order to stay with her in her final days, he pours his newly developed "Memory Lock Potion" into me to eliminate all my memories of him by force. He says, "It's just 21 days. Once she's gone, I'll feed you the antidote myself, and you'll remember me again." In those 21 days, he holds a grand bonding ceremony for his stepsister, dances with her during the Moon Goddess Festival, and makes an oath swearing that they will become mates again in their next life. Finally, he sends her off. After 21 days, the potion wears off, and he kneels in the rain with tears and blood all over his face. He asks hoarsely in an accusing tone, "The potion only lasts for 21 days… why have you forgotten me completely?" I just look up impassively at him. "Sorry, but who are you?"

Chapter 1
Dylan Thomson's first love, Jocelyn Wilkes, had returned from Northia.That day, he poured me a cup of water with sweet clover added to it and handed it to me. "The silver venom has penetrated her bones. She only has 21 days left and wants to spend her last days of life with me."He spoke very calmly, as if he were talking about the weather that day. There was no trace of emotion in his voice at all.I frowned. "At a time like this, she should be looking for the pack's elders, shouldn't she? Why is she looking for you?"Jocelyn was his first love, and she was also Dylan's younger stepsister.He once said that even though they had parted ways long ago, they would still be "family" from a different bloodline.I had often been jealous of her in the past.Dylan and I were true mates, and we had been sure of each other from the moment we met. Now, there was only half a month left until the bonding ceremony that I had been looking forward to for a long time.Dylan lowered his eyes an

Chapter 2
Dylan finally got home when dawn was about to break.I hadn't lit the lamps. I was curled up on the animal hide couch, my gaze fixed on the door.He pushed the door open and came in. He raised his hand to light the night crystal lamp, and when he saw that I hadn't slept, he was clearly startled. He began walking slowly toward me."You know," he simply said.He swallowed, his voice sounding tight as he tried to hide how flustered he was. I nodded.We had been with each other for five years, and we were too familiar with each other. His sudden promise, his messy clothing, and the wrong steps he had taken had all alerted me to the fact that he was hiding something.I had always been perky, and I never sat silently in a corner late at night.Dylan knew that it wasn't normal for me to be like that.He sighed and sat down beside me. He took out a long, thin crystal tube from the pouch that he carried around with him. It contained a blue potion, and he placed it gently in front of

The noise of my phone's ringtone woke me. I opened my eyes blearily. My head felt very heavy, as if it had been stuffed with rocks."Melody, what are you doing?"It was Lira Johnson, the pack inspector sent from the Alpha King in Northia. She was also a good friend whom I'd grown up with."I rushed over snowy mountains overnight to get back in time to witness your bonding ceremony, but I couldn't even enter the ceremony venue!"Also, why is Jocelyn the bride? Who is she? What are you and Dylan playing at?" Lira questioned.I was immediately alert, and my heartbeat sped up all of a sudden. "Wh-who's bonding? What are you talking about?"Lira was even more surprised than I was. "Isn't today the day of you and Dylan's mate bonding?"I felt cold all over and retorted at once. "Who's Dylan? I'm single. Don't you know that?""You've been together with him for five years. Even your wood carving has your names engraved on it!" Lira almost laughed out of sheer anger. I scrambled out o

When Lira got back, I was already curled up on the animal hide mat. I had ordered a huge bag of cured meat and roasted nuts, and I was watching a video of the pack discussing healing techniques while I ate. "Hey, Lira, do you want some? This fruit-flavored cured meat is delicious," I said.Lira swatted my hand away at once. "Has your brain gotten infected with silver venom? How can you even eat at a time like this? That jerk Dylan has betrayed you!"The she-wolf that keeps coughing beside him is his stepsister! She's the mate that he bonded with at the ceremony today! I heard that she's got a fatal disease and that completing the ceremony with Dylan was her dying wish!"It was strange, but I didn't care at all. I handed Lira a piece of fruit-flavored cured meat."Oh, how dramatic! And then what?" I asked sarcastically.Lira opened her mouth and swiped the cured meat away. She chewed on it while glaring at me."Your mate, whom you haven't bonded with yet, switched to a different she-wo

Chapter 5
Dylan was panting heavily, and the strands of hair on his forehead were soaked. "What are you doing?" I asked.I stiffened immediately. "How did you get into my house?"I had just called him a "crazy wolf" behind his back, and he had actually appeared."Melody, I'm back," he said.He hugged me at once, and I could smell the familiar scent of cool lemon. It was the scent I loved the most.I pushed him away instinctively, feeling uncomfortable. My wolf, that had been deeply asleep, began to shout and struggle in my mind. She was against me touching him. "Get out, or I'll call the warriors on patrol!" I yelled angrily.Rage, revulsion, and wariness rose up in my heart all at once.Dylan was surprised when I pushed him away. He looked down at the watch on his wrist and murmured, "The potion effects should have worn off… she should have gotten her memories back by now.""Get out of my house at once!" I shouted.I took out my phone and got ready to call for help, but he was a st

Chapter 6
When Dylan had finally left, I slumped, feeling deflated.Lira crossed her arms and scoffed. "Having a mate bond with a crazy werewolf like that would be a mark of shame in your life.""Come on, let's hurry up and go home!" I urged Lira.She was startled, and I curled my lip. "I want to go home, light up some essential oils, and have a good shower. I don't want his scent to linger on me!"After having a shower, I analyzed the situation with Lira."Dylan is my fated mate, but he actually bonded with another she-wolf and went for a honeymoon in Northia. He's nothing to me anymore. I was infatuated with him in the past, but now I see him clearly for who he is, and it might not be a bad thing."Besides, I can sense that my wolf completed its transformation while she was in a deep sleep. She's been hiding her real skills for the past few years," I explained.When I finished, Lira was startled and said softly, "That may be a good thing. However, I still feel indignant on your behalf.

Two days after that, Dylan came again in the evening. He was leaning lazily against the car door, dressed in a suit. His legs were casually crossed, and his shoulders were thrown back.The car behind him was covered in Moonblooms. The soft petals seemed to glimmer in the sunset, and several pups who had just come out of school were gathered around it.My heart jolted violently.I had to admit that Dylan had outstanding good looks. Even in the pack, where there were numerous strong males, he was a very rare handsome male.It was a pity that everything he had done seemed ridiculous and revolting in my eyes.He walked toward me with a large bouquet of Moonblooms in his arms, smiling very tenderly."Do you still remember? The first time we spent the Moon Goddess Festival together, we saw these flowers by the river, and you said you liked them."His smile was warm, and it retained a youthful energy. I felt myself waver for a moment. It did seem as if a bright, innocent, and foolish y

Chapter 8
Dylan finally disappeared. After that incident, he did not appear in my sight again.I was also finally ready to leave the pack and go to Northia to teach at the healing academy. Lira was helping me pack, but she suddenly stopped as if she'd just thought of something."Did you know that Jocelyn wasn't infected with the silver venom at all? She was just pretending the whole time," Lira said.She told me that Jocelyn had gotten someone to forge her test reports and diagnosis to force Dylan to bond with her. The counterfeit production chain had been found and shut down, and she had been dragged into it."Really? That's good," I said calmly, wanting her not to come and disrupt me again.However, I unexpectedly ran into Dylan at the pack's borders. He ran up to stop me, panting, and told me he wanted to say a few more things.His cloak was not rumpled, and he looked like he had recovered well. He did not look as disheveled as he had in the past. He was back to being presentable. L

Chapter 9
After a few months, Lira came to visit me. She brought a shocking piece of news—Jocelyn really had become infected with the silver venom, and they'd already had a funeral for her."There are some things that one should never say lightly. It might come true one day," Lira said thoughtfully. I nodded in agreement.The last time I had seen Dylan was at the entrance to the academy. I had seen him standing there as soon as I walked out of the gates.He had changed greatly. He wasn't old for his age, and he was dressed well, but there was a haggard air of despair about him.He looked at me, and our eyes met. There was no way to hide. He tried to squeeze out a smile, but his lips only moved slightly, and he failed."It's been a while," I said calmly. "I'm still busy, mister. I'll get going."He reached out to stop me and opened his mouth, but in the end, he only said in a low voice, "I… miss you so much."I did not answer, and my expression remained blank.He looked intently at me
