Rejected and Claimed by her Alpha Triplets

~Lisa’s POV

I didn’t move. I couldn’t.

My heart forgot how to beat.

I could only stare, frozen in place, as the crowd around us dissolved into stunned whispers. Their voices blended into a blur, the noise muffled by the pounding in my ears. I felt like I was standing in the center of a storm.

My eyes moved from one of them to the other. Kael’s brows were drawn, his jaw clenched, as though he hated the words that had just left his mouth. Damon stood stiff as a statue, his eyes stormy with confusion. And Rowan... Rowan’s gaze was the hardest to read. Still. Silent. Watching me like I was some ancient puzzle that had just begun to solve itself.

Was I dreaming?

Part of me wanted to scream for joy. If this was true, then maybe I was finally free. No more scrubbing floors until my fingers bled. No more stolen food and cold, dark closets. No more cruel laughter echoed behind me wherever I went. I could be free.

But the other part of me, the part that had survived years of cruelty, didn’t trust this sudden turn of fate. Why would they accept me? Me, the pack’s weakest link? The one everyone spat on? Why didn’t they reject the bond like so many Alphas had in the past?

Why did they accept me?

Before I could make sense of anything, Rowan spoke. "Take her to the East Wing. She stays in the palace now."

My eyes widened.

A pair of maids hurried over and bowed before him. I could see the surprise written across their faces, too, though they tried to hide it. I stood slowly, my legs trembling. I didn’t know whether to feel honored or hunted.
