Rejected, Then Wanted by My Triplet Alphas
"Complicated people, who did a bad thing at a bad moment. People who did not deserve you, Wren, even though they might have wanted to. There's a difference."
"What's the difference."
"Deserving someone means you've earned the right to have them in your life, through how you treat them, through choices you make." I brushed a strand of pale hair back from her forehead, my heart aching with love and old, unresolved grief in equal measure. "They made choices that meant they lost that right, at least for now. That doesn't mean you're not loved. It just means the people who should have loved you properly failed to earn the chance."
