Rejected, Then Wanted by My Triplet Alphas
Blurb
Three sentences. That is all it took for the Kane triplets to destroy me in front of the whole pack.
“I reject you,” said Dorian, cold as the snow outside.
“Go find a mop to bond with,” laughed Cassian, playing to the crowd.
And Lucian, the only one who ever called me by my name, closed his eyes and whispered, “I reject you too.”
For nine years I was Neva Frost, the charity girl. The servant who scrubbed their floors and swallowed her pride to work off a debt that was never mine. I was going to leave the day I turned eighteen. Then I shifted at midnight, the mate bond snapped into place, and the whole pack learned the cruelest joke the Moon Goddess ever told. My fated mates were the three Alphas who hated me most.
They rejected me before their entire pack. So I ran into the dark. And in that dark, a masked stranger held me like I was worth something, just once, before dawn took him away.
I told myself I would bury that night forever.
But now there are two lines on a test I hid at the bottom of a bin. Now the debt keeps me caged in the one house I need to flee. And now, at the edge of the territory with my bag in my hands and freedom five steps away, the youngest Alpha is staring at my stomach with the truth breaking across his face.
The masked stranger was one of them.
And all three of them just stepped out of the trees.

Chapter: CHAPTER 86Neva's POVI was thirty seconds late collecting Wren that afternoon, delayed by a client call I could not politely end early, and I have replayed those thirty seconds countless times since, turning them over in my mind late at night, wondering what small, different choice might have kept this particular collision from ever occurring at all, wondering whether a different, faster route through the office building's lobby might have spared us both from what waited at the nursery gate. I had spent that entire drive still composing myself after the previous night's discoveries about the acquisition ledgers, my mind still churning through fury and exhaustion, entirely unprepared for the fresh crisis about to unfold in an ordinary daycare parking lot.I saw him the moment I turned into the parking lot, a tall, familiar figure crouched near a small group of children still lingering by the outdoor play equipment, and my whole body went instantly, completely col

Chapter: CHAPTER 85Cassian's POVI had been chasing the coconut scent thread for nearly a week before it finally led me somewhere concrete, a faint, secondhand report from a contact who worked security at a chain of daycare centers scattered across Ardenfall, someone who remembered a strange incident involving a child and an unfamiliar visitor. Three years of chasing exactly this kind of fragile, secondhand rumor had taught me not to expect much from any single lead, and yet something in my contact's careful, hesitant retelling made me set aside every other thread I was currently following to chase this one down properly.It was not much to go on. Coconut is not exactly a rare scent, and I understood, chasing it, that I was likely following nothing more than another dead end in a search that had produced dozens of them across these past three years. But something in the way my contact described the incident, a visitor lingering too long near one particular child, staring

Chapter: CHAPTER 84Neva's POVDorian left within the hour, sensing correctly that I needed to work alone with what I had just discovered, and I spent the remainder of that day and long into the evening buried entirely in the crown payment ledgers, my fury growing colder and more precise with every additional page I uncovered.The acquisition line item was not an isolated entry. I found three more references scattered across subsequent years, each one carefully worded in the same clinical, bureaucratic language, budgeting for offspring, projected delivery costs, contingency allocations for multiple potential subjects. I read each entry twice, forcing myself to absorb the full, monstrous implication of language so carefully sanitized it could have described shipping inventory rather than human children.Someone had known, years before I ever conceived, that I would eventually bear children, and had budgeted for their eventual acquisition with the same cold precision

Chapter: CHAPTER 83Neva's POVI let him into my office, though every instinct honed across three years of careful vigilance screamed at me to send him away entirely, and I told myself the decision was purely professional, purely practical, a chance to finally examine whatever evidence he had gathered without the ambush of a boardroom full of witnesses.I did not fully believe my own reasoning, but it was the only version I could afford to accept. Some quieter, more honest part of me understood the truth well enough, that curiosity and old, unresolved feeling had as much to do with this decision as any professional obligation ever could."Sit," I said, gesturing toward the chair across my desk, keeping my voice level and businesslike despite the chaos still churning beneath my composed exterior. "You have five minutes before my first real appointment. Use them well."Dorian set the box down carefully on my desk and sat, and something in the careful, delibera

Chapter: CHAPTER 82Neva's POVI drove home from that parking garage with my hands locked so tightly around the steering wheel that my knuckles had gone white, my composure holding only until I pulled into my own driveway and sat there in the dark for a long, shaking moment before I trusted myself to walk inside. The whole drive passed in a blur of half formed panic, my mind cycling through every previous relocation, every hurried packing session, every carefully rehearsed new name, as though my body had already decided to run again before my conscious mind had properly caught up with the decision.Carla met me at the door with Wren already asleep against her shoulder, and I took my daughter carefully, murmuring my thanks, my mind still racing through everything that had just happened in that boardroom and the parking garage beyond it.He knew. Dorian knew it was me, had known instantly, the three years of careful, deliberate reinvention meaning absolutely nothing

Chapter: CHAPTER 81Dorian's POVI do not remember deciding to finish the meeting. The rest of that boardroom, the remaining agenda items, the polite closing remarks I somehow managed to deliver, all of it exists now only as a blur of motion I performed on pure, hollowed out instinct while the actual, functioning part of my mind remained fixed entirely on the woman who had just spoken my full name for the first time in three years. I remember only fragments afterward, my own voice thanking the board for their patience, someone else's hand righting the chair I had knocked to the floor, eleven faces watching me with the particular careful blankness people wear when they have witnessed something they know better than to comment on aloud. Someone had righted my chair and set a glass of water near my elbow, small, quiet kindnesses offered by people who clearly understood something significant had just happened without understanding any of its actual shape.Neva finished her pr
