I was the spoiled princess doted on by three beast husbands. Then Eve arrived, and Skyhawk, Bloodwolf, and Zephyr left me one by one, calling me selfish and impossible to love.
When all three stood against me for Eve and her cub, I stopped begging. I volunteered for the sea-folk marriage alliance every female feared and left the kingdom.
Only after I vanished did they admit the truth: they had staged the betrayal with Eve to make me independent and teach me to value them. By then, their cruel 'lesson' had already cost them me.
Three years later, I returned with Oceanus, my sea-folk mate, and our little merboy Caspian. I had a new home, a child, and a love that never made me beg to be chosen.
My ex-husbands confessed and begged me back. I told them it ended the day I left. Oceanus is the only mate I will ever have—and the deep sea is my home now.
