MasukI slammed the bathroom door, desperate for thirty seconds of peace without feeling their overwhelming presence. They were waiting when I came out. Hunter leaned against the wall looking annoyingly perfect, Zane was already smirking, and Seth had the decency to look slightly guilty. "I can't even pee without one of you stalking me," I snapped. "Don't blame me," Hunter said, hands up. "That's all Seth." "Hey!" Seth protested. "Dude, you literally tracked her scent to the library yesterday like some creepy bloodhound." Zane stepped closer, his voice dropping low. "In his defense, you smell amazing. Like rain and something wild. It's... distracting." Heat flashed through me at his words. This was my new reality—three devastatingly hot guys who wouldn't leave me alone. The scary part? I was starting to like it. **** Two years ago, when Dad got stripped of his Alpha title for breaking pack law, we were exiled to a crappy apartment on the wrong side of town. I thought my life sucked before, but this was a whole new level of hell. At academy, I'm the girl everyone avoids. Bad luck follows me everywhere, or so they think. Perfect target for bullies, especially my stepsister Cessy. She's everything I'm not—head cheerleader, gorgeous, popular. While she's the golden child at home and school, I'm her personal 'unpaid' assistant. Then everything changed on my eighteenth birthday. I found my mates. Not just one, but three. The Blackwood Trio: Hunter, Seth, and Zane. Hockey gods, gorgeous Alphas, the most wanted guys at school. Every girl dreams about them, every guy wants to be them. And somehow, impossibly, they're mine. Of course, nothing's ever simple in my life. Three mates means three times the drama, three times the possessiveness, and way more heat than I know how to handle.

My alpha presence flared before I could control it. “Shut your mouth, McKennel!” Cessy went pale and stumbled back. My wolf was going insane. Clawing at me from the inside. Demanding I go after her. Our mate is running. Our mate is hurt. GO! “No,” I said out loud, pressing my palms against my temples. “She’s not—this isn’t—“ “Hunter?” Seth’s voice was strained. His eyes flashed amber. “You feel it too?” I didn’t want to answer. Didn’t want to admit what was happening. The corrupt Alpha’s daughter. The cursed girl. The one Dad specifically told us to avoid. She was our mate. All three of us. “This is fucked up,” Seth muttered, running his hands through his hair. His whole body was shaking. “This is so fucked up.” “We need to go after her,” Zane said quietly, but his hands were clenched into fists
INKA’S POV “Even though I acknowledge our mate bond, I can’t sacrifice the people around me to accept the curse that Inka has carried since birth,” Derek continued. “So here, I’m going to make everything clear.” “I, Derek Castellano, son of Beta Gregory Castellano, officially reject you, Inka Ravencrest, as my mate. This bond will be severed forever and can never be reconnected.” For a moment, no one moved. Then someone in the back row started clapping, , mocking. Another person joined in, jeering. Then another. The applause rippled until the entire arena erupted in cruel delight. Sticks banged against the boards. Skates scraped the ice in approval. Someone shouted, "About time!" and vicious laughter tore through the crowd. As for me, I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, couldn’t do anything but feel the agony of Derek’s rejection tearing me apart. My hand clutched my chest, trying to hold together the pieces of something that was already broken. But then something else ha
INKA’S POV The home team host for Snowfang Falls, was warming up on the other side. Then I saw the three famous triplet brothers everyone was talking about. The oldest, Hunter, the captain—he’s a center, the best goal scorer ever. The middle one, Seth, a stay-at-home defenseman, and the youngest, Zane, the brick wall—his defensive strength was nearly impossible for opponents to break through. They were amazing to watch, the pride of the academy. Every girl at the academy dreamed of them. Except me. I didn’t even dare look them in the eye. I’d seen them around school before, of course. Hard not to when they were basically royalty at Snowfang Falls Academy. But I always made sure to keep my distance. I knew what they thought of me. Everyone did. Last week, I’d been walking to class when I saw all three of them coming down the hallway. My heart had started racing, and I’d immediately ducked into the nearest bathroom to avoid them. Through the crack in the door, I’d heard
INKA'S POV"INKA! GET UP HERE! NOW!"Valerie's shrill voice pierced through my basement room at 5:04 AM, jolting me awake. I dragged myself out of the lumpy thrift-store mattress, my body aching from the cold, damp air of what used to be a laundry room.I'd barely slept for the last three weeks. My mind had been replaying the same memory all night. Three weeks ago, I had been cleaning the bleachers when I'd smelled a scent of wet soil, pine, and something that made my legs weak. My wolf had barked in my head, "MATE. MATE. HE IS OURS, INKA!"I had glanced around, confused, but when Derek's green eyes found mine, I knew right then and there that he was my mate.Something like mutual recognition had flashed across his face too."Is that your scent I'm picking up?" he'd asked, climbing the stands toward me with a charming smile that made my stomach fill with butterflies.I had nodded since I'd been too nervous to speak."Do you have a name, or can I just call you mine?"I had smiled.
