When the factory director’s son dragged my drunk fiancee into the supply warehouse, I pretended as if I did not see them. I just turned around and walked away. In the past, I had ruined my own future by rushing in and beating the factory director’s son up. I was even framed for stealing the supplies from the warehouse. When the warehouse keeper came over with the police officers, my fiancee deliberately ripped her own clothes. She cried and said that she came with the director to stop me from committing the crime, but I beat her up and even defiled her. Everyone despised me, and I became a criminal. My fiancee’s parents could not bear the rumors, and they forced me to marry her. But that marriage was only the start of a hellish life. She lived like a queen at home, yet she told everyone I was starving her. When she got pregnant, she deliberately pushed her belly against the corner of the table. Then, she stood in the courtyard and cried. She claimed I had abused her, and I wanted to kill my own baby. My parents felt bad for me, so they borrowed money from everyone they knew to get her a job. But when she landed on the job, she framed my father for stealing the steel from the factory. Half a year after my father was imprisoned, he passed away in jail due to an illness. My mother could not bear the stress and fell severely ill. She also passed away soon after. When I was pinned under the collapsed brick wall at the construction site, she did not call for help. Instead, she picked up a brick and smashed it into my head. “If you were not so nosy, Jeremy and I’d have been together already. We wouldn’t have wasted so much time!” My head bled, and I was buried beneath a pile of rubble. When I opened my eyes again, I was at the entrance of the supply warehouse. From inside, I heard my fiancee’s soft, teasing murmurs.

"You can't hide forever. Sooner or later you're going to have to face what you feel for us.” We were standing so close I could feel his breath on my face and my heart raced at his words. "I don't feel anything for you!” I snapped angrily, pulling my wrist from his grasp. "Give in to us, Mallory. The longer you resist, the harder it will be for you when the inevitable happens. And we are inevitable.” I shivered at his closeness and my argument died on my lips. Mallory Edwards was just an Omega, something the Black Moon Alpha triplets reminded her of everyday, never missing a chance to taunt or torment her. At sixteen, Mallory leaves the pack broken and full of self-doubt. But when she returns two years later, a beautiful and accomplished young woman, the triplets start to see her in a whole new light. But is it too little, too late? To make matters worse, more secrets are revealed when Mallory shifts for the first time and learns nothing about her life is what she thought it was. Mallory's journey to the truth is a dangerous one and she'll need all the help she can get to survive it. Who will be standing by her side when the dust settles? Or will she be standing at all?
