Winning Back the Wife

Face Slapping

Regret

Rowan Nightshade slapped me in front of his friends, his guards, and the girl he had been protecting for months. The room went dead silent. Then someone whispered, “She deserved it.” For nine years, I had loved Rowan like he was my fate. I endured his coldness, his broken promises, and every time he left me standing alone because another girl needed him more. I kept telling myself it would get better. Rowan was my promised mate. Sooner or later, he would choose me first. But when his palm landed across my face, something inside me finally broke. Rowan thought I would cry, apologize, and forgive him like I always did. Instead, I walked out of the hall, deleted every way to contact him, and told both our packs the promised-mate agreement was over before sunrise. No one believed I would really leave. Until Rowan came to my dorm that night, his eyes red and his voice shaking. “Why, Serena? Just because of one slap?” I looked at the boy I had loved since childhood. Then I smiled. “Yes,” I said. “Because of that slap.”

Chapter 1
When Rowan Nightshade’s hand struck my face, I did not understand what had happened at first.The sound cracked through the training corridor of Silvermoon Federal Academy. My body tipped to the side, my teeth aching from the force, and for a few seconds all I heard was a dull ringing in my ears. My left cheek went numb, then burned as if molten silver had been poured over it.I covered my face and looked up at him.Rowan Nightshade, heir of the Shadowfang Pack, had slapped me in front of more than a dozen students because I had argued with a transfer girl.My name was Serena Mooncrest, daughter of Moonvale’s Alpha. Shadowfang and Moonvale had been allies for generations, and our families had treated Rowan and me as future mates since childhood. Everyone at school knew it. That was why the silence after the slap felt worse than the pain.Rowan’s hand still hung in the air. For a second, he looked stunned too, but the shock quickly disappeared beneath impatience.“Are you done making a

The whole class followed her gaze toward me, and my face burned instantly.I loved moon-white. Almost everything I owned was that color: my pale hide backpack, pale carved flask, moonstone hair clips, training clothes, casual clothes, phone case, and charms.People had talked about it since I was little. Some boys said I looked like something placed on a ritual altar. Some girls said I was acting pure and untouchable. But most people were kind. More often, girls told me moon-white suited me, like I was a child chosen by the Moon Goddess.This was the first time someone had mocked me so openly in front of everyone.“Oh wow, sorry,” Felicity said, blinking as if she had done nothing wrong. “I’m just a little too honest. Don’t be mad, little priestess.”“Enough. It’s your first day. Maybe talk less.”Rowan’s impatient voice came from the side.I turned and saw him frowning at Felicity.Felicity raised a brow.“Oh? The priestess has a guard dog?”“What the hell are you talking about? Are y

Starting the next day, Felicity began paying me what she called “special attention.”One morning, I pulled a pack of moon-white tissues from my bag. The packaging was moon-white, naturally, and Felicity reacted like it was the funniest thing she had ever seen.“Oh my god, even your tissues have to be moon-white? Are you trying to turn yourself into a ritual offering from head to toe?”During cleaning duty, I wiped down the grips on the training equipment. Felicity exchanged looks with a few boys nearby.“Careful, everyone. The priestess has arrived. Mortals, make way.”Every two weeks, our classroom seats rotated. One afternoon I was dragging my heavy oak desk across the room and had to stop halfway to catch my breath. Felicity immediately raised her voice.“The priestess can’t move her desk. Any brave knight want to save her?”The boys around her laughed like it was the greatest joke in the world.At first, Rowan still told them to stop. But Felicity always brushed it off.“Relax. I’m

I skipped the rest of my classes and left the academy.As I crossed the moonlit woods back to Moonvale territory, my mother linked me.“Serena, what happened?”The pack link must have carried something in my emotions before I could hide it.I stopped under the trees and told her everything. Felicity’s insults. Rowan watching. Rowan defending her. The slap.For several seconds, my mother said nothing. When her voice returned through the link, it was cold.“Go home. I’m coming back now.”I ran straight to my room and tore through everything I owned. Bookshelves, closets, storage chests. Then I dragged out a large box and threw in every single thing Rowan had ever given me: the first polished moonstone he picked up beside a creek, an old training wrist guard he once tossed at me because he had extras, a carved bone token bearing the Nightshade family crest, and the short, crooked notes he only wrote when he happened to be in a good mood.By the time I finished, the box was full. I checked

The next day, Rowan Nightshade and Felicity Moore stood in the training field, the whole class watching, and officially announced their bond as mates. Rowan had his arm around her waist, Felicity leaned against his shoulder, grinning like a wolf who had just taken down her prey.I didn’t flinch.Looking back, the signs had been there all along. From the moment Felicity arrived, she integrated effortlessly with the male students. She barely interacted with any females. In her own words:“Honestly? I just get along better with males. They’re simpler. They don’t chatter behind your back. Females? Too complicated. Scent-marking everywhere. I can’t deal with that.”“And they’re too sensitive. Say the wrong thing, and they hold a grudge for months. I swear, I’d rather run with the guys.”Her words made every female student in the class dislike her. Felicity noticed, of course. She smirked at the male students, flicked her silver-gray curls, and feigned helplessness.“Yeah, yeah, I know I sho

The next day, Rowan Nightshade and Felicity Moore announced their bond in the training field, the entire class watching. Rowan had his arm around her waist, and Felicity leaned against his shoulder, smiling like a wolf who had just caught its prey.I didn’t feel surprised. Looking back, it all made sense. From the moment Felicity arrived, she integrated quickly with the male students. She barely interacted with any females. She had said, in her own words, that she got along better with males because they were simpler and didn’t chatter behind her back. Females were too complicated, she said. Scent-marking everywhere and holding grudges for months. She preferred running with the males.Her words made the female students dislike her, and she noticed. She smirked at the male students, flicked her silver-gray curls, and acted amused.She said it lightly, but everyone knew she had insulted the females, yet when none of them reacted, she blamed them for being territorial.That evening, I com

Chapter 7
During break, Felicity removed her hair tie and looped it around Rowan’s wrist. The band was braided wolf mane dyed deep red, a mark of her pack. She playfully insisted he keep it on.In class, they passed notes under the table. Rowan sometimes chuckled without care, drawing attention.At lunch, she plucked the fattiest smoked wolf meat from his tray. Rowan let her, lips curling into a smirk.After school, she straddled the back of his bike, arm around his waist. They moved like a pair who had already claimed their marks.Ten years of shared history. At first, I felt a pang of unease, a tightness in my chest. Soon, it dulled. Habits like this could poison and numb.Just as I thought our paths would never cross again, Rowan stopped me at the school gate.“Serena Mooncrest.” His tone was low, complicated. Anger, maybe something else I could not read.“Felicity called in sick today.”I blinked, confused. What did this have to do with me?“And?”“What did you say to her?”I hesitated, then

The hall buzzed with low growls and gasps. The scent of wolves rolled over me from every direction, charged with tension, excitement, and a hint of malice.Footsteps rushed toward me. The scent arrived first: cedar, cold iron, and a faint undercurrent of anger. Then a hand gripped my upper arm, pulling me upright.Rowan.“Your wolf blood is surging backward. Did you skip your lunar supplement?” His voice was low, audible only to me. His fingers dug into my arm, claws nearly piercing my skin.“You’re running laps in this state? Do you want to lose control in front of half the grade? Where did you fall? I’m taking you back to the den.”He spoke close to my ear, fast and insistent. My chest felt heavy from the surging wolf blood, and the humiliation of falling made it churn angrily inside me. The smells around me only sharpened my teeth.“I can walk. Let go,” I said, trying to shake off his hand.A low growl rumbled from his throat.“You challenging me now? Smell yourself. Your blood is h

One day, a girl leaned over.“Serena, I have to ask—does Caelus really have eight-pack abs?”Her eyes were wide and ears flushed.I froze. How would I know that?“I don’t know,” I said.“Don’t lie! He never lifts his shirt in matches. No girl has seen it. He’s so picky!”Her friend nudged me.“I heard from the team captain he has eight-pack abs. You’re the only girl close to him. You must have seen, right?”I thought back. Never lifted his shirt? Not quite. In the med den, he often complained it was hot and tugged at his uniform to cool off.“Maybe… but he’s slim. I never touched him.”“Really? You saw it!” the girl exclaimed, almost jumping. Her friend covered her mouth.“Quiet! Just a glance. None of your business.”My neck stiffened. Gossip like this never bodes well in a wolf pack.Then a crisp snap echoed in the classroom.We all turned. Rowan had crushed his cup. Fragments pierced his palm, blood dripping down his wrist. His expression was calm, as if he felt nothing.Felicity sc

He stepped forward, voice guttural from deep in his throat.“Do we really have to do this, Serena?”“Is it useless no matter how I plead?”“I don’t understand. You’ve always liked me. You know I like you too. We only lacked one marking. Why—”He finally admitted it. The first time he had said it.“Just because of that slap?”I nodded without hesitation.“Yes. Because of that slap.”“I loved you once. I have always loved you. Since elementary school. My feelings never needed you to feed them. They grew every day on their own. They lived in the fantasy I built for you. They did not need your attention. As long as I existed, they survived.”“But recently I… I destroyed them myself.”“Why?”He asked like he was sleepwalking.“Because of my left cheek. Every time I saw you, it hurt.”My face showed no emotion. Rowan’s expression finally lost all color.After that, Rowan and Felicity parted ways. I never learned the reason. Felicity soon requested to transfer classes.Rowan changed completel
