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?

It can be read as a standalone, as it follows the story of their sons.​PS: Two chapters are updated daily.
