Synopsis

Winning Back the Wife

Tragic Love

Childhood Sweethearts

Mistress

Alpha

It was the third anniversary of my registration of a mate bond with Xavier Ashford, the alpha of Shadowcrest Pack. My gift to him was a positive pregnancy test, but his gift to me was a contract terminating our bond as mates. I froze, too distraught to reach out and take it from him. Xavier cleared his throat awkwardly. "A wolf tricked Talia into getting pregnant. A pup born out of mate bond can't get the rights to live in the pack. My plan is to terminate our bond as mates and become mates with Talia for the time being so that her pup can have a legal identity. After she gives birth to her pup, then you and I can become mates again. How does that sound?" He passed me a bond termination contract. It had clearly been prepared a long time ago. He noticed my hesitation and explained gently, "You're my one true love. I'm only helping her as a friend. Even after we split up, I can guarantee that you won't be mistreated." I looked up at him with a smile and stayed silent. Then, I reached into my pocket and felt the pregnancy test under my fingers. The two red lines on the screen were as clear as day.

Chapter 1
It was my birthday. I was dressed in a silk nightgown as Xavier Ashford pressed me down against the couch and kissed my neck. He reached up and under my nightgown, beginning to tease me.He was as passionate as ever, and I enjoyed the pleasure I felt while carefully shielding my stomach from too much motion.Once we finished, I was about to break the news of my pregnancy to him when someone started knocking on the door.He hurriedly got off from on top of me and began to walk out as he straightened his clothes. "Sweetheart, I'll be right back. I just want to see who's at the door," he said.I felt a strong sense of unease and got dressed so I could go downstairs. The moment I reached the top of the stairs, I heard Xavier gently consoling a she-wolf. "Talia, don't worry. Now that you're back, no one will dare to lay a finger on you. Mark my words."Talia?I stopped walking. My grip on the staircase railing tightened.Talia Seeton was Xavier's childhood sweetheart. They were extre

The moment I got home, I could hear Xavier chatting to his friends in the living room before I even stepped into the house."Xavier, won't Serena be angry that you terminated your bond with her for Talia?" his friend, Chase Yardley, asked in confusion.Xavier chuckled softly when he heard that. Confidently, he said, "Of course not. She loves me so much that she's willing to do anything for me. She would never be angry with me. Besides, we're only terminating our bond contract. We're not breaking up for real. We'll be back to normal in a year's time.""But I don't think any she-wolf would be willing to watch her mate do so much for another she-wolf. Aren't you afraid she'll be heartbroken and leave?"Xavier froze when he heard that. His expression shifted into one of panic before it settled back to normal."She won't leave me," he said firmly. "She loves me too much.""Yes, I will. I won't accept betrayal," I thought to myself.The door opened with a click as I pushed it open. Th

As expected, Xavier never showed up the next morning.I called him plenty of times, but he never picked up.Talia finally sent a picture of Xavier sleeping. "He exhausted himself last night. He's still sleeping."I tucked my phone away with a bitter smile.I knew he had betrayed me, but I couldn't stop my heart from hurting when I actually saw it happen in real time.My tears began to fall once again.After watching the sunrise, I went back to the beach house.The house had clearly been furnished to my liking, but I couldn't feel any joy from looking at it.It wasn't an act of love. It was a way to make up for lies that had already happened.My phone buzzed. I received a text that read, "Ms. Flint, your request to leave the pack will be activated in eight hours. Please leave the pack when the time is up. Your bond as mates with Xavier Ashford has been terminated."I put my phone away with a smile. I decided I was tired of Xavier's honey-coated lies. Around noon, I suddenly

Back at home, Xavier was paying Talia's hospital bill when he saw a prenatal checkup report with my name on it. He tried to get a closer look, but the nurse swiftly tucked the sheaf of documents back into the drawer.He staggered back, a deep sense of unease settling over him. He tried to call me, only to find that I had already blocked his number. His heart plummeted. He refused to believe what I had done. He couldn't fathom that I'd block him just because he didn't watch the sunrise with me. He felt sure that I was only throwing a tantrum. He knew I'd never leave him.He kept consoling himself as he sped toward the beach house.He knocked on the door, but silence met him.He began to pound on the door loudly as his heart clenched uneasily in his chest. "Serena! Serena! Are you there? Come out!"No matter how much he yelled, the house remained still and silent.He kicked through the door and raced inside, only to find the house utterly empty. He only found a small box

After Xavier finished speaking, he left the ward without looking back.His gaze was cold, but his heart churned with guilt for what he did to me.He immediately contacted his subordinates to check the surveillance camera footage from the day of the party.Soon enough, he received the recordings on his phone.In the video, Talia could be seen approaching me, hissing venomous insults. Then, with a deliberate move, she shoved me into the dessert table. Xavier's expression was steely after watching the video. His gaze gleamed with murderous intent. He immediately sped back to the hospital and burst into Talia's ward.The moment Talia saw him, her expression lit up with joy."Xavier, you're back!"Xavier reached out and wrapped his hands around her neck as he glared at her furiously. "Talia, how dare you treat Serena that way?"Talia couldn't breathe with him strangling her. Her face became ashen as she choked out, "X-Xavier, what—"His gaze grew icy as he tightened his grip. "

After I left Shadowcrest Pack, I moved to a small seaside town in the south.The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was pleasant. I always wanted to stay here.I rented a small house right by the beach and fell asleep every day listening to the sound of waves. My life was peaceful and satisfying.In order to support myself, I began looking for a job.One day, I stopped by a cafe by the beach. A friendly middle-aged she-wolf owned it. She saw me and greeted me with a smile. "Hello, ma'am. Are you alone? Would you like a drink?"I smiled and replied, "I'll have a latte, please."She placed the drink on my table and sat down next to me.She looked at my swollen belly. Her eyes widened in surprise."Ma'am, you're pregnant, aren't you? Are you here by yourself?"I nodded, staying silent.She sighed and patted the back of my hand. "It must be hard to be on your own while you're expecting. If you need a job, I'm looking for a barista. You can work here. How does that sound?"

I looked at Xavier and said coldly, "Yes. She's our pup, but she thrived completely without you."I paused and said, "Xavier, my life is good now. I don't want to return to my past. I don't want to be the same Serena for whom you were the center of her world, nor the Serena who lacked any sense of self. Even if being your Luna brings me glory, I don't want it."Xavier's expression collapsed with disappointment, but he tried to beg again, "Serena, I know I messed up, but can't you give me a chance to make it up to you? I'll prove my love for you through my actions."I looked at him, feeling a little swayed.However, I thought about all the pain I had gone through and steeled my resolve. "Xavier, stop wasting your breath. I won't follow you home."I turned to leave.Xavier didn't stop me. Instead, he stood there utterly dejected. From then onward, he came to the cafe every single day.Every time he showed up, he would bring gifts for me and my pup, Serafina. Sometimes it was a b
