Betrayed By One. Bound To Three
"It seems your other mates caught your scent and are here for you," Edris said quietly as he slipped into his pants, his voice calm but his eyes unreadable.
Suddenly shy, I pushed myself upright and moved to stand, instinctively trying to give him space, trying to create distance before questions could form. I had barely taken a step when their presence filled the space.
"Going somewhere, mate?" Ronan's voice stopped me in my tracks.
My cheeks burned instantly with embarrassment.
"No," I said too quickly. "I was not running. I was just trying to give you guys some privacy."
Kael stepped closer, slow and deliberate, his fingers already working at the buckle of his belt. "Are you afraid?"
"Me? Afraid?" I scoffed, forcing a casual laugh. "No way." I looked away, pretending confidence while my body betrayed me completely.
"Really?" Kael murmured. "Because you look like you're shy and wanted to run, mate."
"Let her be, she is tired," Edris said in my defense.
"Really, brother? You pretend you don't want her when we're together, and then claim her for yourself the moment we are not looking," Kael replied, teasing but tense.
Edris's gaze darkened as Kael and Ronan moved closer.
"She is mine," Edris mutters, low, tense, as he watches.
Kael grins, "She is our mate too. All of us."
The tension between them was suffocating, their dominance pulling at me from every side. Edris's dark gaze met Kael's challenge, while Ronan mirrored him silently. My pulse thundered, and panic flared

As the only surviving heir of the Alpha King, Selena Blackthorn thought she had the perfect life.
A loving father. A caring Mate. A rare bloodline passed down to her by her family.
But she was wrong.
After her father’s sudden death, Selena places her trust, her power, and her heart in the hands of the man she believes is her fated Mate. On their wedding day, beneath the Blood Moon, he repays her devotion by rejecting her, shattering their bond, and pushing her from a mountain to her death.
She should have stayed dead.
Instead, Selena awakens two weeks before the wedding ceremony, reborn with her memories intact and her long-silent wolf finally awake. The truth unravels quickly. The man she loved is her murderer. Her adopted sister is his true mate and accomplice.
The life Selena believed was destiny was nothing more than a carefully constructed lie.
This time, she is not the obedient Luna they expect.
Drawn by a pull she cannot deny, fate leads Selena into the path of three rogue triplets—warriors exiled as boys for a crime they never committed. They are dangerous. Relentless. Untamed. And when the bond snaps into place, it is not gentle.
It consumes her.
Only then does Selena uncover the truth that has long been buried. The rejection was false. The bond was never real.
The triplets are her true mates.
Bound by destiny and sharpened by exile, the triplet helps Selena uncover the conspiracy that destroyed her family, stole her crown, and nearly erased her existence.
Together, they will burn through lies, bloodlines, and false kings to reclaim what was always hers.
This time, Selena will not be used.
She will not be silenced.
And she will not die quietly.
Betrayed by One, Bound to Three is a dark fantasy romance of rebirth, body-positive power, false bonds, fated mates, and a queen who rises from betrayal to claim her throne on her own terms.
