시놉시스

Winning Back the Wife

Regret

Mistress

Alpha

I push through my Gamma warrior training ahead of schedule just to get back to the pack sooner. All I want is to stand beside my Alpha, Kyle Faucher, and finally complete our mate-bonding ceremony. But when I step into our house, scarred and feeling hopeful, I see 100 old boarding passes to the Darkmoon pack littering the floor. That pack is only a mile from my training grounds. Kyle's been that close for two years, and still, he never came. I sprint to the place where we were supposed to have our mate-bonding ceremony, clinging to the desperate hope that there's an explanation. But the moment I burst through the doors, I stopped cold. Kyle is down on one knee, dressed in a tailored suit, his eyes locked on someone with a softness I've never seen in him before. Standing across from him, smiling through her tears, is my stepsister, Vivian Blackwell. "Vivian, I haven't completed the mate-bonding ceremony with Serene. Say the word, and I'll reject her and mark you right now." At that moment, the world goes still, and I even forgot how to breathe. So this is what he's been doing while I was gone, chasing the woman he never let go of. Meanwhile, I spent those two years giving everything I had, trying to become someone worthy of standing by his side. I don't ask why or shed a tear. I just turn around and walk away. If she's what he wants, then so be it. The mate-bonding ceremony I dreamed of will be theirs instead. But the second I'm gone, he loses it and sends every warrior looking for me.

I said nothing.Kyle's tone sharpened on the other end of the line. "Serene? What's wrong? Are you upset? Just tell me where you are. I'll come right now!"He still read me like a book. As an Alpha, he could read my emotions without trying, and he always knew exactly how to make me feel safe."I'm home. I don't really feel like going to the park today," I said.There was a beat of silence before his voice dropped to a gentle murmur. "Okay. I'm coming home."Kyle didn't ask why I'd blown him off.I knew he didn't let it slide out of love. It was because the one he truly loved had already agreed to be his mate. I was just a prop, something arranged to please his darling.When Kyle walked in, I had just stepped out of the shower. The moment I saw Vivian behind him, I had to hold back a scream."Kyle, why did you bring her here?" I asked.He just couldn't wait to drag Vivian here and shove her in my face.Kyle gently took my hand. "Serene, I know there's been some misunderstandin

I clung to the doorframe, trying to hold back the trembling rage and sorrow building inside me.Kyle's face was a mask of impatience."Serene, can't you be reasonable for once? What happened to the compassion you're meant to have as the future Luna?" he chided.Was this man defending the woman who had ruined me truly the same Kyle who had once shielded me from every harm?Had my memories twisted things? Or had all that "protection" just been a delusion I'd clung to all along?Agony consumed me as I stressed out each word. "Unless Vivian dies right in front of me, I will never forgive her. Never."Kyle's temple pulsed with a throbbing vein. The air grew thick with his Alpha's oppressive presence, suffocating the room."Serene, we've only been apart for two years. How did you get so vicious? You won't forgive Vivian? Fine. Then at least apologize to her."I won't have the whole pack whispering behind your back, mocking their future Luna as some petty, bitter woman! Your mother ch

Chapter 4
I threw out everything I'd brought into the home Kyle and I shared. This was never really my place, and now, there wasn't a single trace of me left.Only my handmade travel journal was left, with old boarding passes pasted in, each one from a trip I'd taken just to be with him. Beneath each one, I'd written down the details of our time together.I once believed it proved how much we meant to each other, but now it just felt like something sad I made up to feel less alone.I hesitated for a beat, then ripped each page from the binding and hurled them into the fireplace. The flames devoured them, turning ten years of Kyle and me into nothing but choking ash and bitter smoke.…The scent of breakfast dragged me from the depths of sleep the next morning. From the kitchen, Kyle's voice drifted to me."Serene, go wash up. I made your favorite pancakes."He casually packed a portion to go. "Eat up. I'm taking some of this to Vivian. She was pretty shaken up yesterday."I gave a flat h

Chapter 5
The Gamma Tactical R&D project had demanded so much from me, and I hadn't had a moment to think about how Kyle might be feeling right now.Perhaps he and Vivian had already exchanged vows in the ceremony they'd always dreamed of, surrounded by heartfelt blessings. But none of that mattered to me anymore.When I got off the plane, Elder Alan was already there, flanked by his two star students—Lena Burnett and Marcus Dunham. A giant screen above the terminal flashed a bold message."Welcome back, Warrior Serene!"It caught people's attention. They probably thought I was someone important."Elder Alan, this is too much," I said, managing a faint smile.He stepped forward and wrapped me in a warm, steady embrace. His voice, sounding kind and quietly strong, filled the air."Remember, Serene. From today, the Darkmoon pack is your home. We are your family, and we'll always support you."Since witnessing Kyle's proposal, I'd been fighting an internal battle, using a Gamma warrior's ir

I couldn't take the bombardment anymore. I was about to turn off my phone when Kyle called again."Serene, you finally picked up…"His voice was rough, thick with fatigue and a worry he couldn't quite mask. His Alpha dominance was nowhere to be found."Thank goodness. I thought something had happened to you. Are you okay? Where did you go? Why did you clear out the house? And why did you break the mate bond? Serene, please, just tell me what's going on!"I frowned, bewildered.What was wrong with him?He allowed Vivian to humiliate me during our mate-bonding ceremony. When I walked away and refused to go through with it, wasn't that proof enough that our bond was already broken beyond fixing?And now, he had the nerve to pretend he was worried about me. Did his "true love" with Vivian not seem grand enough without me—the loser—as a pathetic contrast?When I was injured during training at the academy, he was just a mile away, busy flirting with Vivian. So where was all this conc

Chapter 7
What was Kyle hoping to explain to me?Was he expecting me to justify why I bailed at the last second on all the pack elders and loved ones gathered for our mate-bonding ceremony?Or was he expecting me to explain why I, his supposedly fated mate, remained silent while Vivian flaunted the moonstone necklace meant for me and humiliated me in front of everyone?While his pack crumbled due to internal strife, it was I who provided Mom's healing secrets and rare herbs to help him stabilize his leadership.Later, when his pack required power, I abandoned my comforts and submitted to intense training at Werewolf Academy, purely to become his most formidable ally.Kyle claimed he was too swamped with pack business to visit me, so I was the one who traveled thousands of miles, time and again, just to see him.While I was pushing through grueling training, he was barely a mile away, whispering sweet nothings to the woman I despised the most.He took Vivian to every place he'd once promis

I shook my head. "Vivian's going to be heartbroken if you keep coming after me. Besides, our mate bond is already broken. An Alpha shouldn't stoop to this."Kyle didn't get angry at my coldness. The sharpness in his eyes was gone, replaced by a quiet, pleading look as he spoke to me with patience."Serene, just hear me out. I wasn't thinking straight. That's the only reason I went along with Vivian's ridiculous charade. When I first came to the academy, I really did want to surprise you."But on the way here, I was ambushed by a pack of wolves. I was badly hurt, and Vivian saved my life. She used the precious herbs she'd been carrying to nurse me back to health, caring for me day and night for two straight weeks."I didn't want to worry you, and I was terrified you'd be furious if you found out I'd gotten close to her, so I kept quiet. Then, on a full moon night, my wounds flared up again."I was burning up with fever, and in my delirium, I actually mistook her for you… I was so a

Kyle's agonizing roar, thick with bitterness and a refusal to back down, made me wonder if jealousy had devoured him.The truth was, he never believed he was in the wrong. He betrayed me by cheating with Vivian, yet I wasn't allowed to walk away.So what was it? Had my absence ruined the spectacle of his and Vivian's mate-bonding ceremony? Or was it simply that he couldn't stand being outmaneuvered for the first time by a mate he'd never truly valued?Kyle played me for a fool for two years while I was at the academy, and it seemed he'd conveniently forgotten all about it.His repeated appearances in the Darkmoon pack were the gravest betrayal a fated mate could possibly commit.I had no interest left in debating right and wrong with him. The moment I rejected that mate-bonding ceremony, there was no turning back for us.I sighed. "Kyle, we need to move on. Just leave."But his grip on my arm tightened like a vice."Serene, everyone makes mistakes. Won't you just give me one

Kyle's raspy voice carried a quiet dependence, like he'd finally found the cure he'd been waiting for.Coolly, I said, "I've already told Vivian. She'll be here tonight to look after you.""Serene, why would you call her?" Kyle pushed himself upright, visibly agitated. "I just want you! You don't have to do anything. Just being near you helps me fight off the silver!"In that moment, Kyle's selfishness was impossible to ignore. Just looking at him turned my stomach, and I didn't bother hiding it."Serene, you still can't forgive me, can you?" he asked, a faint flicker of hope in his eyes."No."The light in his eyes vanished instantly."I'm deleting all of Vivian's contacts right now, in front of you! I swear, I'll go back to loving and protecting you like I used to…" Kyle trailed off.I'd already paid him back for that "love and protection" with ten years of my youth.I wasn't about to waste another decade hoping he'd come around, especially now that I no longer saw him as th
