Destiny, however, has a different path for Emma. 
Bennett Campbell, Alpha from the Silvercrest Pack, stumbles upon her and brings her to safety. The surprise deepens when Hunter, the pack's esteemed doctor, and Parker, the youngest of the Campbell brothers, discover that Emma is also their fated mate.
Awakening to the protective presence of three powerful men, Emma navigates her newfound sanctuary with caution and gratitude. Will Emma accept her mates? Will the pack accept her? Will the warmth and understanding of Campbell brothers mend her wounded spirit?

Once Rejected, Thrice Desired

　　My eyes were red and puffy from crying, and my face was streaked with tears. I looked up at Bennett, Hunter, and Parker, and tried to speak, but my voice cracked.


　　Bennett immediately went to my side, concern etched on his face. "Emma, what's wrong? What happened?"


　　I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. "It's the Nightshade Alpha," I said, my voice shaking. "He's been sending me messages, saying he knows my biological parents and that he wants to take me to them."


　　Hunter's eyes narrowed. "What else did he say?"


　　I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about their concerned expressions made me trust them. "I had to know the reason they abandoned me and that he's going to take me to meet them himself."


　　Parker's face darkened. "We're not going to let that happen, Emma. We won't let him hurt you."


　　Bennett put a gentle hand on my shoulder. "We're here for you, Emma. We'll protect you, regardless of what."
