Edris's jaw tightened as he moved closer to her. “So he touched you.”
    It was not a question. It was a demand for confirmation.
    “Yes,” she answered, meeting his gaze without flinching. “He did.”
    The air shifted.
    “And you allowed it?” His voice sharpened despite his effort to restrain it.
    “I did not have much of a choice,” she said quietly.
    “There is always a choice,” Edris insisted. “It begins with not opening the door.”
    She exhaled slowly. “If I had refused to answer, he would have grown suspicious. He would have made a scene. That would not have kept me safe.”
    “It would have kept him from touching you,” Edris replied, his control slipping just slightly. “It would have kept me from walking past your door and catching another man's scent on you.”

    As the only surviving heir of the Alpha King, Selena Blackthorn thought she had the perfect life.
    A loving father. A caring Mate. A rare bloodline passed down to her by her family.
    But she was wrong.
    After her father’s sudden death, Selena places her trust, her power, and her heart in the hands of the man she believes is her fated Mate. On their wedding day, beneath the Blood Moon, he repays her devotion by rejecting her, shattering their bond, and pushing her from a mountain to her death.
    She should have stayed dead.
    Instead, Selena awakens two weeks before the wedding ceremony, reborn with her memories intact and her long-silent wolf finally awake. The truth unravels quickly. The man she loved is her murderer. Her adopted sister is his true mate and accomplice.
    The life Selena believed was destiny was nothing more than a carefully constructed lie.
    This time, she is not the obedient Luna they expect.
    Drawn by a pull she cannot deny, fate leads Selena into the path of three rogue triplets—warriors exiled as boys for a crime they never committed. They are dangerous. Relentless. Untamed. And when the bond snaps into place, it is not gentle.
    It consumes her.
    Only then does Selena uncover the truth that has long been buried. The rejection was false. The bond was never real.
    The triplets are her true mates.
    Bound by destiny and sharpened by exile, the triplet helps Selena uncover the conspiracy that destroyed her family, stole her crown, and nearly erased her existence.
    Together, they will burn through lies, bloodlines, and false kings to reclaim what was always hers.
    This time, Selena will not be used.
    She will not be silenced.
    And she will not die quietly.
    Betrayed by One, Bound to Three is a dark fantasy romance of rebirth, body-positive power, false bonds, fated mates, and a queen who rises from betrayal to claim her throne on her own terms.
