“She is our mate. We’d like to see who dares to touch her!” The words seemed to ring in the air, fierce and absolute, as if marking me with a shield stronger than any I could ever forge.

The scandal dies down and Fiona begins to rebuild her life, free of their oppressive influence. Until one day, a revelation shakes her to the core—a destiny she never wanted, one that intertwines her with the very men she despises: she is their mate. Now, Fiona must confront the past she had tried so hard to bury and navigate an uncertain future with the four alphas who once made her life unbearable. Caught between hate, fear, and an undeniable bond, Fiona faces an impossible choice: accept the twisted fate that binds her to the alphas or risk tearing apart the fragile peace she’s finally found.
