Three Alphas, One Rejected Mate

“I begged you to see me,” I whispered, my voice breaking despite how hard I tried to hold it steady. “Not as the traitor’s daughter. Not as the runt. Just… as me.” Kai’s jaw tightened. Mike wouldn’t meet my eyes. Luke looked like the world had just shifted beneath his feet. “You flogged me in front of the pack,” I continued, the memories slicing through me. “You made me jump until I collapsed. You locked me in the dungeon like I was filth. You let her stand there and smile while I broke.” Kai stepped forward, his voice rough. “Laura—” “No.” I shook my head, tears spilling freely now. “You don’t get to say my name like that.” Mike swallowed hard. “We didn’t know.” “You knew enough,” I shot back. “You knew I was alone. You knew I had no one. And still, you chose her. Every single time, you chose her.” Luke’s voice cracked. “We thought you betrayed us.” I let out a hollow laugh. “I was twelve when my parents left. What exactly did you think I betrayed?” Silence. Heavy. Suffocating. “You were my mates,” I said softly, the word tasting like poison now. “And you made my life a living hell.” Kai’s eyes burned. “We were wrong.” “Yes,” I whispered. “You were.” And this time, when I turned away from them, I didn’t look back. •••••••• Laura Ezra was once the quiet daughter of a loyal pack family—until the night her parents were branded traitors and vanished without a trace. Overnight, she became the stain no one wanted to acknowledge. Stripped of rank. Stripped of protection. Stripped of dignity. Forced to serve the very people who once trained beside her. And worst of all? Forced to endure the cruelty of the triplet Alphas—Kai, Mike, and Luke—the future rulers of the pack who believed she carried betrayal in her blood. They flogged her in public. They humiliated her before the entire pack. They locked her in the dungeon so she wouldn’t “ruin the atmosphere” before the mating ceremony. They chose the pack’s beloved concubine over her—again and again. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. On the night of the full moon ceremony, when the golden bond revealed itself beneath the sky, Laura discovered the unthinkable truth— She wasn’t fated to just one Alpha. She was fated to all three. Bound to the very men who had broken her. The very men who called her weak. The very men who swore she didn’t belong. Now the Alphas are restless. Their wolves won’t sleep. Their instincts won’t obey. Because the girl they locked away… was never their shame. She was their mate. But Laura has endured too much to forgive easily. And this time? They will be the ones begging.
