LYCAN'S LOCKET

The moonlight caught the silver of the cuffs. I was cornered, captured not by one but by a trio of rival alphas-each more dominant and breathtakingly dangerous than the last.

Their leader, Elias, offered a cruel choice: "Join our pack, or face the council." Serving them was pure torture, especially when they were my sworn enemies and my fated mates. Their powerful presences surrounded me, a constant, intoxicating battle of wills I couldn't escape.

We fought our undeniable attraction for months until one night, our control finally broke. But the morning after, their cold dismissal cut deeper than any blade, and I fled with a secret.

"You're a weakness we can't afford." Their cruel words haunt me.

Now, I've built a new life, stronger and more independent than ever. So why are the three men who cast me out now at my doorstep, begging for my forgiveness, a silver locket-a symbol of my pack's stolen legacy-in their hands?

I don't have time to dwell on their sudden change of heart. My unborn child carries their blood, and the ancient curse haunting my family is growing stronger. The only way to save our baby is to face the men I swore I'd never see again and unravel the truth behind their betrayal.
