After My Wife's Fated Mate Appeared

Wen Yue had a rough childhood. He never had control over his own fate, and even his partner was someone who stubbornly latched onto him and forced them together.

But their pheromone compatibility was lower than that of any random stranger on the street, making a permanent mark impossible.

With his biological needs going unmet for two years, Wen Yue believed his partner was suffering even more than he was, so he tried everything he could to change things.

When his fated mate appeared, Wen Yue followed the guidance of their pheromones. When the alpha leaned in, Wen Yue resisted the urge to turn away, but the kiss left him a little disappointed.

So this was all there was to the attraction of high compatibility.

Was Huo Yuan like this when he faced a highly compatible omega? Wen Yue found himself thinking at a very inappropriate moment.

He listlessly pushed the alpha away and turned his head, only to see Huo Yuan nearby, tears streaming down his face.

They stared at each other for a long time. Wen Yue didn't move an inch.

Huo Yuan fell in love with his wife at first sight. The process could certainly be called coercive, tortuous, and full of underhanded tactics, but the outcome didn't lie: he had a wife.

Over the years, Huo Yuan had been busy fending off rivals, cutting off potential romances, and dealing with future mistresses, all while building his career. He was practically a model of time management.

But what was this Fated Mate System that had suddenly gone online, meddling in other people's relationships? This technology should be destroyed along with its inventor.

Huo Yuan endured the agony of his glands being torn apart as he rejected the highly compatible omega. When he turned around, he found that someone had brought his wife together with his fated mate.

The sight of them kissing made his eyes blaze with fury. But what hurt even more was that after backing away and closing the door, he stood outside and realized Wen Yue hadn't come after him at all.

Bonus Scenes

On the day they planned to register their marriage after making up, Huo Yuan arrived at the civil affairs office dressed to the nines and carrying a stack of reports, though in truth he hadn't slept all night.

After they got their marriage certificate, he stared at the 32% compatibility score printed on it again and again. Drawing on his lifelong experience altering numbers, Huo Yuan secretly changed the 3 into an 8.

Wen Yue said from behind him, his voice faint and distant, “So you really do care about compatibility, huh?”

Huo Yuan froze with the pen in his hand, nearly tearing the paper. He turned around sheepishly and said tearfully, “Baby, I'm posting this on my social media. What if people keep trying to seduce me because our compatibility is so low? I won't give in, and I've already got plenty of experience turning down highly compatible omegas, but the less of that sort of thing, the better, right, honey?”

“Oh.” Wen Yue's expression didn't change at all. He slapped the certificate onto the table with one hand. “Change mine too.”

When there was no one else around, Huo Yuan would say the wrong thing, especially dirty jokes he hadn't thought through. Wen Yue's slaps always came with a gust of force.

One time, Huo Yuan really made him angry. He regretted what he'd said the moment it left his mouth. When the slap landed, Huo Yuan caught Wen Yue's pale hand and smiled without a care. “Honey, do you know when I realized you had feelings for me?”

Wen Yue pulled his hand away, his brows cold.

Huo Yuan answered for him anyway. “One time, you hit me so hard it was just like when we first met. I realized right then that for the past six months, your slaps had felt more like a caress.”

He grinned and leaned his face toward the other palm that was about to slap him. “Now it feels like you're beckoning me to rub my face against your hand.”

“That was when I knew you had feelings for me.”
