When Emma turns 20, she finds her soon to be beta mate, believing that would improve her life. Emma envisions a brighter future, only to have her hopes shattered by Hudson's deceitful betrayal and cruel intentions. Locked in the dungeon because of her rejection, Emma has no choice but escape. 
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

　　As the ceremony continued, I felt like I was drowning in a sea of warm smiles and open arms. Pack members of all ages came to welcome me, each one sharing a story, a hug, or a gentle touch on the shoulder.


　　An elderly woman, her hair gray and wispy, took my hands in hers and said, "We've been waiting for you, child. You're one of us now."


　　A young boy, his eyes shining with excitement, exclaimed, "I'm so glad you're here! Can I show you around our territory?"


　　A burly man, his beard thick and bushy, wrapped me in a bear hug and said, "Your family now. We've got your back."


　　My emotions swirled as I tried to process the sheer volume of love and acceptance pouring my way. I felt Hailey's excitement and happiness, but also a sense of overwhelm.


　　Bennett, sensing my emotions, stepped forward and gently took my hand. "It's okay, Emma. Take your time. You don't have to meet everyone at once."
