On her fourteenth birthday, Kira watched in horror as her parents were beheaded before the entire pack. They were accused of orchestrating the Luna’s death, branded as traitors, and executed without mercy. Years passed, and Kira lived in the shadows of that terrible day. Labeled the daughter of traitors, she was forced to serve at the pack house, enduring cruelty and scorn from the pack members. The triplets, sons of the murdered Luna, hated her most of all, despising her for the supposed sins of her parents. But on her eighteenth birthday, everything changed. Kira discovered the impossible—she was fated to all three brothers. Each one, upon realizing the truth, kept it hidden from the others, secretly battling their rage and disgust. Their first instinct was to reject her. Desperate, Kira begged for time. Three months. That was all she needed—long enough to strengthen her wolf, to endure their rejection without losing herself completely. They agreed. But three months is a long time. Long enough for hatred to fade. Long enough for forbidden desire to take root. And long enough for each brother, in secret, to start falling for the one girl they vowed to despise. When the time is up, will they still be able to let her go? Or will she become the one thing they can’t live without?

He seems to have completely forgotten that today is our wedding anniversary. Does he even remember the other woman who followed him without status seven years ago? I stare at the glowing "Happy Anniversary" sign resting on the table. In that instant, I realize there is no future left for us.
