Charlotte Hodges spends winter break falling for not one but three men, and somewhere between the rink and the rest of her life, she finds the pack she always wanted. The problem is timing. She is one year from graduating, and the three alphas she loves are each getting drafted to different hockey teams in different cities. Charlotte tries to be practical about it. Long distance is hard enough without feeling abandoned when things get bad, and when her worst moment arrives, the people she trusted most are not there. She decides she knows her worth and starts to move on. What she cannot do is stop thinking about them. The three men are not ready to let her go either. They are willing to upend their careers, their plans, and their pride to prove they can put her first. Charlotte has to decide whether the pack she found by accident is worth the risk of believing them. This standalone why choose omegaverse romance follows one omega and three alphas navigating love, hockey, distance, and the question of who shows up when it counts.
