WARNING: DARK ROMANCE "Who knew that something so beautiful could come out of filth like Edmund?" He says, as he runs the backs of his fingers up and down my bare skin. Goosebumps spring up immediately. "Who would have imagined," he says slowly, savoring every word, "that something so exquisite could be born from a man as vile as your father." His eyes trace me with deliberate leisure, stripping, measuring. I felt skinned under his gaze. "A rapist," he continues lightly, as if reciting lines from a book. "A butcher of children. A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times.

Three monsters in human skin. All tied to me by blood, instinct, and something far older than any legend. Matteo, the cold prince who claims my body before I understand what I am. Luca, the scarred warrior who bites first and speaks later. And Calix… the quiet one. The broken one. The one I can never let go of...no matter how dangerous he becomes. They say I’m the mate that will bind the pack or break the curse. But no one warned me about the heat. No one told me that pleasure would feel like pain. And no one prepared me for the night I would beg all three of them… to never let me go. One girl. Three alphas. No rules! No mercy! No escape!! Let the mating games begin...
