LOGIN"I was just trying to steal some bread when the bond hit. One second I'm a rogue surviving on scraps. The next, I'm fated mate to THREE Princes. Not one. Not two. All three heirs to the throne. Damon, the brutal Crown Prince who thinks I'm a trap. Kieran, the charming second son who wants to seduce me. Caius, the scarred eldest who says he'll destroy his brothers to win. They say I have to choose one within a year, or the bond kills us all. The one I pick becomes King. The other two lose everything. But here's the problem: I don't want any of them. I just want to survive in a palace full of she-wolves who'd kill me for breathing. In a court where every smile hides a knife. With a bond that gets stronger every day, making it impossible to think straight when they're near. And the worst part? The longer I'm here, the harder it gets to imagine choosing only one. Because what if I'm falling for all three?"
View MoreTen years after Kieran's death.Mira is fourteen. The twins are ten. Kiera is nine.Life is finally peaceful. Finally stable.Until tonight.Mira doesn't come home from school."She's probably at a friend's house," Damon says.But I feel it through the bond. Something wrong. Something terrible.We search everywhere. The whole palace. The grounds. The city.Nothing. She's gone.Then a note appears on my pillow. Written in handwriting I recognize.Caius's handwriting.*"She has my eyes. Did you really think I died in that fortress? Did you really think it was over? I'm taking back what's mine. Starting with my daughter. You have 24 hours to bring me the crown. Or you'll never see her again. And this time, I won't be merciful."*My blood turns to ice.Caius is alive. And he has Mira."That's impossible," Damon says. "We watched him die. The bond broke. He's dead.""Read the note."He does. Goes pale."He's alive. How is he alive?""I don't know. But he has our daughter."I look at the no
The witch appears at midnight.Not a visit. A warning."Something is coming," she says. Standing in our bedroom. Uninvited as always."What now?" I'm tired. So tired of threats. Of danger. Of everything."The Moon Goddess sent me. She has a message.""Can't she deliver her own messages?""Not this one. This one requires preparation. Understanding. Time."Damon sits up. "What message?""The bonds are evolving. Changing. Becoming something new. Something dangerous. Something necessary.""We only have one bond left. How can it evolve?""Because three mates died. Their magic didn't disappear. It absorbed. Concentrated. Made what remains stronger. Unstable. Powerful.""Unstable how?""Your bond with Damon is ten times stronger than normal. It's growing. Changing him. Changing you. Soon it will reach critical mass.""What happens then?""It could explode. Kill you both. Destroy everything within miles. Or it could transform. Become something unprecedented. Something the world has never seen
Mira is nine. The twins are five. Kiera is four.Life is different now. Quieter without Kieran. Emptier without his laughter.But we survive."Mama, Adrian ate my breakfast again!" Lyanna complains."Did not!""Did too! You always steal my food!""Because you eat too slow!"Breakfast with four children is chaos. Always chaos."Both of you stop fighting or nobody gets pancakes tomorrow," I warn.They quiet immediately. Pancakes are sacred in this house. Kieran's legacy.Mira helps Kiera with her food. Patient. Gentle. Like a little mother.She grew up too fast. Forced to be mature. Responsible. Protective."Thank you for helping your sister," I tell her.She shrugs. "Someone has to. You and Dad are always busy."The guilt hits hard. She's right. Running a kingdom leaves little time for being present."I'm sorry, baby. I'll try to do better.""It's fine. I understand."But she shouldn't have to understand. She should just be a kid.After breakfast Damon takes the kids to lessons. I have
I stare at the positive test.Pregnant. Again.But that's impossible. Kieran is dead. Caius is dead. There's only Damon left.How can I be pregnant?"Sage?" Damon walks in. Sees my face. "What's wrong?"I hand him the test.He stares. "You're pregnant.""Apparently.""How? We've been careful. We haven't..."He's right. We've been so focused on grieving, on healing, on surviving that intimacy hasn't happened in weeks."Maybe the test is wrong.""Or maybe it's right. Maybe this happened before everything. Before Kieran died. Before the fortress."That was over a month ago. Long enough. Possible."So I'm carrying a baby conceived when all three of you were alive.""Whose is it?""I don't know. Does it matter?""To the kingdom it will. To the council. To everyone who questions our legitimacy.""I don't care what they think.""You should. They just tried to remove us. A mystery pregnancy gives them ammunition."He's right. But I can't think about politics right now.I'm pregnant. With a ba
One week after I return from the dead.The council calls an emergency session. Mandatory attendance."They're going to try to remove you," Damon warns. "Officially. Legally.""Let them try."We walk into the chamber together. Every seat filled. Every noble watching.Lord Brennan stands. "Queen Sage
We bury Kieran quickly. Too quickly. Wrong."I'll come back," I promise his grave. "I swear."The fortress is an hour away. We ride in silence. Ten guards. Damon. Me.My body is shutting down. The poison winning. Hours left. Maybe a day.Doesn't matter. My children are in there.The gates open as w
I wake up to silence.Wrong silence. The kind that means something terrible has happened.I run to Mira's room. Empty. Blood on the floor.The twins' nursery. Empty. Both cribs. Both babies.Gone. All three of them gone.A note in Caius's handwriting: *"Three days to surrender the throne. Or you ne
Six months after the twins were born.I wake up exhausted. Again.Not the normal new parent exhaustion. Something different. Deeper. Wrong."You okay?" Damon asks. Watching me struggle to sit up."Just tired. The twins were up a lot last night.""They slept through the night. I checked on them.""O
