The Mate They Threw Away

Sage Winters loved three Alphas in silence, until the Blood Moon changed everything. One forbidden night. One reckless mistake. By morning, she was blocked, rejected, and erased from their lives.

Then she discovered the impossible: she was pregnant with their triplets.

With nothing left, Sage vanished from the werewolf world, determined her children would never know rejection. Five years later, she’s returned as Dr. Sage Winters, the only person who can save the dying Silver Crest pack.

The problem?

The three Alphas who abandoned her are back.

And the children at her side are unmistakably theirs.

This time, Sage holds the power and forgiveness won’t come easy.

1. The Morning After

The morning light filtering through the curtains felt like broken glass against my skin.

I opened my eyes slowly, every muscle in my body aching with a sweet exhaustion I’d never experienced before. The Blood Moon Festival. Last night had been…

My breath caught as the memories flooded back.

Kieran’s hands on my face, his usually cold gray eyes burning with something that looked dangerously like devotion. Asher’s whispered promises against my neck, words I’d dreamed of hearing for six years. Dominic’s fierce protectiveness as he held me like I was something precious, something worth keeping.

I reached across the bed, searching for the warmth of their bodies, but my hand met only cold sheets.

I sat up, clutching the silk sheet to my chest, and that was when I saw it.

A single piece of cream-colored paper lay on the pillow beside me, the Silver Crest pack seal pressed into red wax at the bottom.

My hands shook as I picked it up.

Sage Winters,

In accordance with pack law and for the good of Silver Crest, we formally reject the mate bond revealed during the Blood Moon Festival. This rejection is effective immediately and is irrevocable.

Do not attempt to contact us regarding this matter. What happened last night was a mistake that will not be repeated.

Kieran Modric, Alpha Prime

Asher Killian, Second Alpha

Dominic Stone, Third Alpha

The paper slipped from my fingers and drifted to the floor.

For a long moment, I simply sat there, my mind refusing to process the words I’d just read. This had to be a mistake. A cruel joke.

Last night, Kieran had looked at me like I was his entire world. Asher had traced the mate mark on my collarbone with trembling fingers, his voice breaking as he said he’d waited years for this. Dominic had buried his face in my hair and whispered that he’d never let me go.

But they were gone.

And the only thing they’d left behind was a rejection letter.

I forced myself to stand, ignoring the way my legs threatened to buckle. My clothes from last night were folded neatly on
