His First, Mine Second, Ours Forever

She lost her husband-then the universe decided she belonged to two others.

Have you ever felt like a piece of you missing?

I have.

When my beloved husband, Wayne, died, I never imagined I'd find love again. I made peace with the idea of being alone-truly alone-for the rest of my life.

But the universe, it seems, had other plans.

After a near-death experience on what was supposed to be a quiet solo camping trip, I wake to find I'm no longer alone. Not one, but two powerful beings stand over me. They say they've been searching for me. They tell me I'm their mate.

Yes. Theirs.

The only problem is... they aren't human.

They offer me their hearts without hesitation, promising patience, devotion, and a chance to be loved again. All they ask is the opportunity to know me-to court me, cherish me, and claim me.

It sounds like something pulled straight from a sci-fi romance novel, and the logical part of me knows I should run. This isn't real. This isn't safe.

But the darker truth is... I want them.

Their attention awakens something feral and desperate inside me, something that refuses to keep mourning and start living instead.

I thought the woods might help me heal.

I never expected them to change my heart-or my fate-forever
