Marriage

Winning Back the Wife

I was the Female Alpha of the Stormlands pack. But gave up my position to my brother. All so I could stay by the side of Adrian, the Alpha of the Valley pack, the man I had loved in secret for six years. My brother couldn't bear to watch me wait any longer. On Valentine's Day, he went so far as to slip a potion into Adrian's drink and send him to my bed. When Adrian woke, he refused to accept me as his second-chance mate. But he didn't reject the bond either. He simply agreed to marry me, cold as ice. Shortly after the wedding, he dumped all pack affairs on me and left for five years. I gave birth to our daughter Ivy alone and waited for him to come back. Five years later, I pushed aside an important pack meeting and took Ivy to the airport to pick him up. My daughter reached for him, begging to be held. He glanced down and said flatly, "Sorry. I'm a germaphobe." After that, Ivy and I bathed three times a day. I scrubbed the house until it was spotless as a sterile ward. But he still wouldn't come home, and he never once held either of us. Everything changed when I saw an interview. Someone asked, "Alpha Adrian, when were you happiest?" He smiled carelessly. "Last week, I guess. I put Mia to sleep, then pulled Selena into the bathroom." Selena was the mate who had rejected him. She had run off with another wolf and had Mia. Rumor had it they had been living together for the entire five years he was gone. So the rumors were true all along... That night, I stopped hoping he would ever accept me as his second-chance mate. I decided to take my daughter and leave the Valley for good. I reclaimed my title as Female Alpha of the Stormlands, absorbed the entire Valley pack into my territory, and took my daughter out of his life forever!

Chapter 1

On the third afternoon after Adrian's return, the nanny brought Ivy home from the pack kindergarten with her eyes swollen from crying.

"Mommy, do I not have a daddy?"

Her small shoulders shook with sobs, the words barely making it past her trembling lips.

"Daddy promised he'd come to my parent-teacher meeting. He promised. But when the teacher asked who he was, he said he was Mia's daddy.

"Everyone called me a liar and said I don't even have a daddy!"

I pulled my daughter into my arms, eyes burning, and tried to find an excuse for Adrian.

But the words died on my tongue.

For the first time, I regretted ever holding on.

I had thought that after five years, he was finally coming back to acknowledge me and our daughter.

But he only came back because Selena said she wanted to return to the Valley pack.

He immediately booked tickets, arranged a house, and enrolled Mia in the pack's best kindergarten.

The day we went to the airport, Ivy wore her favorite white dress and clutched my hand tightly.

"Mommy, do you think Daddy will like me?"

I nodded. "You're his only biological daughter. He loves you very much."

But when we rushed to the arrivals hall, hearts full of hope, what we saw was Adrian holding Selena's hand with three-year-old Mia cradled in his arms.

Ivy and I both froze.

The mate bond sent my wolf into a frenzy, but Adrian looked away.

"Sorry." His tone was flat. "I need to take Selena and Mia to their new place first. You two can get home on your own!"

He didn't even glance down at Ivy, but his eyes never left Mia.

Remembering all of this, I closed my eyes and held my daughter tighter.

"I'm sorry, Ivy. Next time, Mommy will be the one at your parent-teacher meeting."

I washed her face and finally coaxed her to sleep.

But even in her dreams, her little brow was furrowed, and she murmured softly, "Daddy, hold me..."

My heart felt like it was being torn apart.If I had never fallen for him, Ivy might never have had to endure any of this.The whole pack knew what Selena had done to Adrian at the Moon Goddess's altar.She rejected him there and left with another wolf. The betrayal nearly destroyed him.Years later, the Moon Goddess gave him a second fated mate. Me.But he neither accepted nor rejected the bond. He just said he wasn't ready.So I waited. For six years.My brother Noah couldn't stand watching me wait any longer. On Valentine's Day, he slipped a potion into Adrian's drink and locked us in a suite together.When I realized what was happening, I was stunned. "Noah, are you out of your mind?"My brother sighed from the other side of the door. "I've seen his wolf respond to you. He's not indifferent. He just won't let himself move forward.""You can't make this kind of decision for us!"The next second, my temperature spiked and my wolf began to stir.Noah cleared his throat guiltily. "Your

Chapter 3
The fury I had been swallowing all day finally ignited.I was so angry I almost laughed. "Adrian, do you even remember which one is your biological daughter?"Do you have any idea what happened at the kindergarten tod—"He cut me off with a frown. "I don't need you to remind me."Selena's former mate left her and Mia a long time ago. Mia needed a parent there today too, and Selena couldn't handle it alone."Besides, I promised Selena a long time ago that I'd never let her suffer again."I already married you like you wanted. You can't ask me to abandon them. I owe her that."He tossed his coat aside and headed straight for the bathroom.The sound of running water soon drowned out my crying.If I had known married life would turn out like this, I never would have slept with him that night, even with my wolf spiraling out of control.I stared at the divorce papers I had just drafted on my computer, unable to press send.If it were only me, I would have left long ago.But when I thought o

Adrian was silent for a few seconds, then looked down and continued soothing Mia without answering.Selena glanced at me and immediately put on an apologetic smile."Evelyn, I'm really sorry. Mia grew up on the West Coast. She's always been blunt. She's just a kid. Don't take it personally."The words sounded like an apology but only made Mia smugger."I'm not wrong! Everyone at kindergarten knows Ivy's a bastard with no daddy. She's the one trying to steal mine!"I clenched my fists and stared coldly at Adrian.He said he was a germaphobe, so Ivy and I scrubbed the house until it was sterile as a hospital ward.He used pack business as an excuse to stay out all night, and I swallowed it every single time.But I would never let anyone humiliate my daughter like this."Adrian, I'm asking you one more time—"Is Ivy a bastard?"Irritation flickered in Adrian's eyes. He sneered. "You know better than anyone how she came to be."Enough. This is Mia's first visit here. Don't ruin it for ever

Chapter 5
Ivy hid in her room and cried nonstop."Mommy, everyone says Daddy is Mia's daddy, but I wasn't trying to steal him from her..."She eventually fell asleep clutching Adrian's photo, while I lay awake through the night.I opened my phone and saw Selena had just posted on Instagram."Mia finally has the fatherly love she's been missing. What's ours can never be taken away."Below the caption was a photo.Adrian had his arms around both of them, all three smiling at the camera like a real family.I casually hit like, and a WhatsApp message popped up on my screen.It was a video from Selena.I opened it. It was an interview with Adrian from before his return to the Valley pack.The reporter asked, "Alpha Adrian, when were you happiest?"He smiled carelessly. "Last week, I guess. I put Mia to sleep, then pulled Selena into the bathroom."His eyes were tender, and everyone around him laughed knowingly.A chill crept through me, inch by inch.Selena had once posted something else: "Ever since

On the other end of the line, Noah's voice immediately rose."Really? Didn't Adrian just come back? Your family finally reunited, and he's okay with you taking Ivy?"I looked out the window at the pitch-dark valley and let out a bitter laugh."He'd be thrilled."That night, I didn't wait up for Adrian like I always used to.At two in the morning, he pushed open the door and walked into a pitch-dark living room. His footsteps faltered.From that day on, I stopped leaving a light on for him.For the next three days, I stopped initiating conversation with him.Adrian finally seemed to sense something was off. On the fourth day, he came home carrying a jewelry box."Evelyn, this is for you."He softened his tone, a rare thing. "Mia was out of line the other day. I'm apologizing to you and Ivy on her behalf."Inside the box was a tarnished moonstone necklace. He picked it up. "Let me put it on you."I stepped back calmly. "No thanks."I had just seen this exact necklace on Selena's Instagra

Chapter 7
But I never expected that on the day I finished Ivy's school transfer paperwork, Mia would push her into the kindergarten's outdoor pool.Ivy had a congenital heart condition.The freezing water was too much for her small heart, and she quickly went into shock. In the ambulance, she gripped my hand and asked if Daddy would come. I couldn't bring myself to answer.I rushed her into the Valley pack hospital, only to be told that every pediatric emergency doctor and reserve blood supply had been reassigned by the Alpha to a private ward.The Valley was still in the seventy-two-hour transition period. Adrian's Alpha authority hadn't been fully suspended yet, and he still held temporary control over the medical system.Mia had eaten nuts and gone into severe anaphylaxis.The on-duty doctor knew Ivy's condition was more critical, but he didn't dare disobey the Alpha's orders. All he could do was have a nurse keep her heart beating with the most basic equipment.Staring at Ivy's colorless fac

Adrian was about to call back when he overheard two nurses talking in the hallway."Did you hear? Dr. Morris flew in from Calgary just to save a little girl named Ivy.""Of course. If her mother hadn't contacted the Stormlands pack, that child would have died."Adrian yanked the ward door open."The child you're talking about, is she Ivy Kaine?"The two nurses froze, then nodded."Yes, Mr. Kaine. When you reassigned all the pediatric emergency resources two days ago, her heart gave out. It was critical."Thank God her mother brought in a doctor from Canada. Otherwise, she never would have made it."My desperate plea over the phone came rushing back to him. All he had heard at the time was Selena crying. He hadn't truly listened to a single word I said.The color drained from Adrian's face."Where is she now?""She's been discharged." The nurse hesitated. "Do you know her?"His voice was hoarse. "Ivy is my daughter."The nurses were stunned, then looked at him in disbelief."But the new

"Adrian, you've been distracted all day." Selena's voice was soft. "What's going on?"He rubbed the bridge of his nose."Ivy was hospitalized too. She almost didn't make it. And I can't reach Evelyn."That afternoon, he couldn't sit still any longer."I need to go check on them. If something really happened to Ivy, Evelyn must be terrified."Before he could finish, Mia jumped off the bed and clung to his leg."Daddy, don't leave Mia!"Selena shot her a quick look, and Mia immediately burst into tears."Daddy has to stay with me, or I won't take my medicine!"Selena pretended to intervene. "Be a good girl, Mia. Daddy has things to do. Let him go."The child only held on tighter.Adrian's brow was furrowed, but he couldn't make himself move.His wolf kept clawing at him to leave, its paws scraping against his ribs, but one look at Mia's pale face convinced him to wait one more day.Daniel carefully reassured him. "Mr. Kaine, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about."Mrs. Kaine loves you

Chapter 10
A week later, Ivy and I arrived in Alberta, Canada.The Stormlands pack territory sat at the foot of the Rockies. Noah came to the airport himself to pick us up.When I stepped outside, the familiar scent of pine and snow washed over me. For the first time in years, my wolf wasn't in pain. She simply lay quietly at the bottom of my heart.The moment Ivy saw Noah, she threw herself into his arms."Uncle Noah!"Noah lifted her high. "Little Ivy, did you miss your uncle?""Of course I did. Mommy says we're going to mooch off you from now on."The two of them burst out laughing.That night, after Ivy fell asleep, I told Noah everything that had happened.Finally, I said softly, "Noah, we were both wrong back then."Adrian never truly accepted me as his second-chance mate. You can't force love. I waited, I tried, and now it's time to let go."I'll be the Alpha the Stormlands needs, manage the Valley integration, and raise Ivy right. We'll be just fine without him."Noah's eyes were full of
