Synopsis

Winning Back the Wife

Reborn

Mistress

Bias

On my eighteenth birthday, Alpha called me up in front of the whole pack and told me to choose—one of his sons as my mate. Whichever I chose? He'd be the next Alpha. I didn't flinch. I picked Cayce, his eldest. The room went dead silent. Everyone knew I used to be stupidly in love with Kain, the younger one. I'd confessed at every pack dance. Took a silver dagger for him once. Cayce? Coldest, meanest wolf we had. Total menace. No one got close. But they didn't know the truth. In my last life, I was bonded to Kain. On the day of our Bonding Ceremony, he slept with Lena, my cousin. My mom lost it. Shipped Lena off to Duskwolf Pack to get bonded to their Beta. Kain? He blamed me. Paraded in she-wolves with Lena's same ice-blue eyes. When he found out I was carrying his pup, he made sure I saw him with every one of them. It was torture. When labor hit, he locked me in the dungeon. Blocked everyone out. My pup got crushed. I died hating him. Maybe the Moon Goddess felt sorry for me—she gave me a second shot. I came back. This time? I let Kain keep Lena. Didn't think he would ever regret it.

Chapter 1
At eighteen, I had to choose—one of Alpha Theron Moonfang's sons as my mate.Last life, I chose Kain. Big mistake. He tore me apart.This time? I picked Cayce—the cold-blooded, brutal one.What I didn't expect? Kain came back too.***I'd barely stepped out of the council hall, crossing the training grounds, when I spotted him—Kain, mid-spar, surrounded by wolves.A glint of silver—his curved blade slipped and hit the ground with a sharp clang, landing three feet from my boots.He didn't even glance up. Just barked, "Pick it up."The wolves froze. Eyes locked on me, waiting for a show.I knew this game. Last life, he treated me like his damn servant.I didn't move. Just dug my heel into the gravel and said flatly, "You dropped it. You pick it up."The training ground went dead quiet. Even the wind cut out.Kain's head jerked up, eyes lit with rage. "What did you just say?"Someone let out a low whistle. "Damn, Eve. Switching tactics? Weren't you all over him like two days

Chapter 2
On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, Kain showed up late—with Lena stuck to his side.Her lips were swollen, and fresh red marks scratched across his collarbone.Wolves nearby traded smirks.No question what they'd been doing in the shadows.In my past life, I would've stormed over, ripped off their masks, demanded why they'd humiliate me at my own ceremony.Now? I glanced once, then looked away like they were dust on my boots.Kain caught that flicker. His hand shot out, shifting Lena behind him.When I didn't flinch, he got twitchy. Then laughed, low and mean. "What, Eve? Playing saint now 'cause you're scared I won't be your mate? Don't be dumb. How about this..."He leaned in, voice dropping, eyes crawling over me. "After the ceremony, meet me behind the mountain—at the hot spring. Don't wear anything. If your body's worth it, maybe I'll let you in my bed."Lena pouted, tugging his sleeve. "Kain, how can you say that? Isn't my body better than hers?"Kain grinned, pin

"What, nothing to say?" Kain sneered. "Didn't you have all that fire a second ago? Or are you finally scared?"Lena slipped in, voice syrupy sweet. "Eve probably remembered the stories about Cayce."She gave Kain's sleeve a dainty tug, but her eyes drilled into me. "If she really bonds with him, there might not even be bones left to bury."Laughter rippled through the crowd. A few young wolves whistled, right on cue.In my past life, I probably would've lunged at Lena and yanked her hair out. But this time?Different."Who I choose isn't your business," I said, cool and steady—even I was surprised.Lena's smile twitched. Then she grabbed her chest and started coughing, shoulders shaking uncontrollably."Eve, don't be like that," she whispered, eyes glistening. "I was just worried about you... You did take a hunter's silver dagger for Kain, remember?"I turned to go.Her gasp hit first.Then her wine cup slipped—just as it fell, she leaned hard into me.Next thing I knew, sh

Chapter 4
The sting on my cheek spread like fire. I wanted to hit back.But out of the corner of my eye, I saw the guests shifting around the venue. This was my coming-of-age ceremony. Causing a scene would only drag the Abell name through the dirt.Lena stayed tucked behind Kain, that smirk still playing on her lips. She leaned into his chest like she rehearsed it.Kain's hand hovered midair—maybe he realized he'd gone too far. His throat bobbed, like words were stuck.But Lena rose onto her toes and whimpered, "Kain, my leg hurts so bad... What if I never walk again?"Her fingers curled around his wrist, pulling every bit of his attention.The whispers crashed in like waves. Their stares hit like poisoned needles, stabbing into my skin."No manners. She'd go after her own sister over a mate.""As if she ever had a shot. Kain would never choose her."Kain threw me a disgusted glare. "Why are you still standing there? If something happens to Lena, you'll regret it."His pack of followe

Chapter 5
Kain was practically oozing smug, like he already saw the Alpha crest hanging around his neck.Yeah—didn't last.The second the pack filled the great hall, Theron stepped down from the platform, gripping that scepter carved with wolf fangs.His silver-white hair caught the lights. Dude was ancient—like over a hundred—but still stood like a legend.He reached for my hand, smiling."Big day," he said, his voice carrying as he scanned the room. "Eve's come of age. And just like I promised her father, she'll choose one of my sons as her mate. Once she does, that wolf the next Alpha."Everyone had their theories about who'd take over Silvermoon. Being Alpha wasn't just a title—it meant total control.Gasps rippled through the hall. All eyes snapped to Kain, some lit with envy.Yeah, they all remembered how hard I used to fall for him."Now," Theron said, patting my hand, "let the chosen step forward. I'll witness it myself."Kain shot up straighter, chin high, already halfway into

The second Cayce spoke, the hall buzzed like a kicked beehive. Wolves leaned in, whispering fast."How's it him?""Didn't Eve love Kain so much she nearly died for him?""Why Cayce? Is this some kind of screw-up?"Kain's face went dark. He stormed forward, voice cracking with panic. "Father, this has to be a mistake!"Theron hit him with a glare colder than midwinter, then slammed his scepter down—hard."I might be old," he growled, "but I'm not losing it. You think I'd mess up a choice that decides Silvermoon's future?"The Beta stepped up, scroll in hand. "The Alpha's word is final. Eve has chosen Cayce as her mate."Kain cut in fast, voice cracking. "No! That's wrong! Something's off!"He spun to me, desperation all over him. "Eve, tell them. You picked me. Father just—he got it twisted, right?"I gave a small smile, steady and sharp. "I chose Cayce. He's my mate now. The only one."Cayce's grip on the Moonpetals tightened—just barely.When our eyes met, something flicke

Chapter 7
At the banquet, torchlight danced along the stone walls.I scanned the crowd. No sign of Kain.I turned, berry wine in hand—and smacked straight into a solid chest.The sharp scent of pine hit me. My eyes burned.Back then, when Kain locked me in that cellar, it was Cayce who kicked the door down and carried me out—barely breathing.He was wrecked, bleeding everywhere, snarling at the wolves crowding us: "Touch her again and I'll skin you alive, bury you with her."After I died, he turned that dungeon into a bloodbath—dragged every one of Kain's dirty secrets straight to Theron.I'd already left my body by then. Just a soul watching him take on the whole pack for me.That's when it hit me—this brutal wolf had always put me first.Since I came back, that voice inside hasn't shut up: 'Choosing him is right.'Once the feast kicked off, Theron motioned for Cayce to sit at his right.Every wolf in the hall froze.That seat meant one thing—Cayce was the next Alpha.No hesitation

Chapter 8
Rumors in Silvermoon Pack spread faster than a rogue on the run.Some swore Kain threw down with the Alpha over me in the grand hall.Others whispered he'd been glued to Lena ever since I picked Cayce.Didn't matter. I tuned it all out.Our Bonding Ceremony was locked in for the next full moon.One morning before then, I found Cayce waiting at the edge of the training grounds.He leaned on a blade stabbed into the dirt, dew dripping off his hair.Didn't say a word for a minute. Just watched.Then, low and tight: "Everyone thinks I'm a monster. That I've killed too many."He flicked his eyes my way—cold steel sharp. "Aren't you scared of me?"I stilled, bow halfway drawn. Met his gaze head-on. "Scared of what?""Scared I'll snap one day and hurt you," he muttered, fingers trailing the blade's etched handle. "Not that it matters. Even if you were, it's too late."His lips curled into a smirk—possessive, unshakable."Whether you regret this or not, I'm not letting go. You're

Disgust churned in my gut. I stepped back, dodging the ring like it burned."Did you forget?" I snapped. "Weren't you head over heels for Lena?"Kain scrambled up, reaching out, but Lena latched onto his arm.He barked over her, desperate—"Eve, please—it was all a misunderstanding! No one compares to you. You're the only one I've ever loved."I laughed, ice-cold."Funny. That's not what you said before. You told me once we were bonded, I needed to stay obedient. Stay quiet. And never question what you did with Lena."His face twisted, voice oozing fake regret."I was confused! I didn't mean to hurt you."Lena's tears fell like shattered glass."Kain, you said you loved me. You said I was sweeter than Eve. You promised we'd be mates after the full moon—""Shut up!"Kain backhanded her so hard her head snapped sideways—the same brutal hit I knew too well.Red welts bloomed across Lena's cheek. She grabbed her face, eyes wide, stunned."Slut," Kain snarled. "You seduced me.

Chapter 10
The morning of the Bonding Ceremony, I was up before the sun.Cayce stepped in, pushing back the tent flap, cradling a bunch of fresh Astraleaves—dewy and wild from the cedar woods.He didn't say a word. Just scooped me up and carried me straight toward the Moon Goddess statue.I glanced at him.He wasn't anything like Kain. Kain was wildfire—loud, cocky, always looking for trouble.Cayce? Ice-bound fang. Sharp jaw, blade-straight nose, eyes locked ahead like nothing could shake him.Everyone said he couldn't love.But I remembered the way he tore through the dungeon to get to me. And now, seeing that same tension in his lips, heat bloomed in my chest.Same path to the altar—but everything had changed. Last time, trailing behind Kain, my gut twisted with dread, praying he wouldn't flake.Now? Wrapped in Cayce's arms, I felt grounded.Then he stopped cold.Kain stood dead center in front of the Moon Goddess statue. Full ceremonial gear. Silvermoon groom's emblem gleaming on h
