THREE BROTHERS! ONE MATE!
Trapped in a life of abuse and servitude within her own pack, Skyler Jackson's 18th birthday promises a new beginning—her first shift. But destiny has a far more complex plan than mere freedom. When the Alpha she serves brutally humiliates her, an unexpected protector emerges: a powerful Alpha who claims her as his mate. This pivotal moment thrusts Skyler into a world she never imagined, challenging everything she knows about loyalty, power, and the true meaning of family. Will her newfound mates be her salvation or merely another gilded cage?The sun, a mocking beacon, pierced through the grimy window of Skyler's attic room, dragging her from a pain-induced stupor. A familiar, grating yell echoed from downstairs—"SKYLER! SKYLER!"—her brother James's voice, laced with its usual contempt. Every muscle screamed in protest as she stretched, a grim testament to last night's brutal punishment.
Her eyes darted to the clock, and a cold wave of terror washed over her. Past eight. She should have been up hours ago, preparing breakfast for the entire pack. Her alarm, a cruel deception, had gone off, but the agony had claimed her, pulling her into a deep, desperate unconsciousness the moment she hit the bed.
Scrambling from the thin mattress, she stumbled towards the small, unheated bathroom. A quick, frigid wash, then she pulled on oversized, concealing clothes—black skinny jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt, and a voluminous hoodie, each piece a shield against prying eyes and the chill that always clung to her.
She raced down the stairs, desperate to make up for lost time, but fate, or rather, James, intervened. A foot shot out, tripping her on the final step. She landed with a sickening thud, cheekbone connecting sharply with the hard floor. A groan escaped her lips, quickly stifled as she looked up to see James, a cruel smirk twisting his features, standing above her. His words, a venomous hiss, promised further retribution.
