“We’re Alphas, Ella. We need someone strong by our side. Someone worthy of leading this pack. You’re…” He trailed off, but I already knew what he was going to say. In their eyes, I was nothing. Not strong enough. Not worthy.

The rejection hung thick in the air, suffocating. My wolf whimpered inside me, but I held my ground.

“I, Lucian Blackthorn, reject you, Ella Harper, as my mate,” he said, his voice steady and cold.

The bond snapped, a sharp, searing pain shooting through my chest. I gasped, staggering back, clutching my heart as if I could hold the pieces together. But they were already breaking, crumbling under the weight of his words.

Kade didn’t move, his eyes locked on mine. For a moment, I thought—hoped that he might not go through with it. It was foolish, but I needed him to feel something. But then his expression hardened, and he stepped forward.

“I, Kade Blackthorn, reject you, Ella Harper, as my mate,” he announced, his voice quieter than Lucian’s, but just as final.

The second rejection hit like a wave, doubling the pain.

My wolf howled inside. Furious, heartbroken.

Ella has always known her place; at the very bottom. As an omega, she’s learned to stay invisible, to endure the taunts and cruelty, especially from the notorious Blackthorn twins, Lucian and Kade.

Golden, ruthless, and heirs to the Blackthorn pack, the alpha twins have made tormenting Ella their favorite pastime. To them, she’s nothing more than a reminder of weakness.

Until fate plays its cruelest trick.

When the unmistakable scent of the mate bond connects the three of them, their delicately ordered world shatters. The twins would rather reject fate than claim a weak omega, and Ella refuses to be bound to the monsters who made her life hell.
