​Liam grabbed my chin, forcing me to look into his piercing green eyes.“Why do you smell like my brother, Scarlett?” he demanded.​My heart pounded against my ribs, but I stayed silent. My refusal to speak only fueled his anger.“I am your mate,” he growled, his grip tightening.​What he didn’t know was that he wasn’t the only one. I was mated to all three brothers—and none of them knew they were sharing me.​Suddenly, a loud knock echoed through the room.“Liam? Are you in there?”​It was Leo.​Panic flashed across Liam’s face. He looked at the door, then back at me. He couldn't let his brother see me like this—half-naked and pressed against the wall. He grabbed my arm and shoved me into the bathroom. Before I could say a word, he turned the shower on full blast to drown out any sound I might make.BLURBI am fated to three men who want me dead.​To the pack, I am the Rogue’s daughter. To Liam, Leon, and Leo, I am a mistake that should never have existed. The day I discovered I was the fated mate of all three brothers, I realized it wasn’t a blessing. It was a death sentence.​They hate me. They believe my parents betrayed the pack and killed their mother, our Luna, and the shame of being tied to me burns their pride. None of them know the others share the same bond, and each one secretly plans to reject me and erase the connection forever.​So I begged for time. Three months to strengthen my wolf so I can survive the pain of a triple rejection without dying. They agreed.​But as the days pass, the hatred begins to warp into something darker—and far more possessive.“I was the first to kiss her,” Liam brags.“I took her virginity,” Leo yells out loudly.“She will love me first,” Leon responds angrily.​I rolls her eyes and stomps my foot, my heart breaking even as my blood thrums with their possession. “I hate you! All of you!!”​The secret is finally out. All three brothers know I belong to them. But instead of rejecting me and ending my misery... they refuse to share me.​How do I survive three Alphas who would rather tear the pack apart than let another brother touch what is theirs? Especially when a dark prophecy is prophesied against the bond.​Note: This is Book Two of Fated to Not Just One but Three. It can be read as a standalone, as it follows the story of their sons.​PS: Two chapters are updated daily.

The first time they met they had battled fiercely, just for a mere bunch of herbs. She needed it to save people, and he wanted to use it to save his own life.

“Let go of it, or you will die.” The man’s violet eyes were cold and sinister as he said in a low voice.

She held on tightly to the base of the herb and pulled its roots right out of the ground, before she turned her eyes back with a crafty smile. “It’s mine now. Snatch it from me if you can.”

When they met several years later they were no longer on opposing sides in hostility. In order to repay the debt for having stolen the herb back then, she went on to miraculously cure his body’s condition, relieving him of the inhumane torment that wrecked at his body day and night. He was amazed by the godly skills in Medicine she possessed and his heart went on to fall irrecoverably head over heels in love.
