Once Best Friend, Now My Bully Mate

Annotation

"""You're nothing but a traitor's daughter."" Donovan's growl vibrated against her skin as he pinned her beneath him, his weight unrelenting. His breath was hot, ragged—hungry. ""You don't get to judge me,"" he hissed, his lips brushing the curve of her ear. His fingers traced a slow, torturous path down her spine, possessive and deliberate. ""Every inch of you is mine. Every shaky breath. Every broken moan."" She shuddered despite herself, yet her core was still wet for him. Only him. ""I own your pleasure, Amanda. And your pain."" His grip tightened, forcing her closer. ""Never try to run away. There's nowhere in this world you can hide from me."" --- Overnight, Amanda Porter's life became a nightmare. Her father—the pack's most beloved Beta—was branded a traitor. And the boy she trusted most? He was the first to turn on her. Donovan Reed. The Alpha's son. Her best friend. Her fated mate. Now he torments her in public. Refuses to acknowledge the bond snapping between them. But he can't stay away. The forbidden heat between them burns hotter than his hatred. He treats her like a dirty secret. Degrades her like she means nothing. Then pulls her back into the shadows, again and again. Amanda gave him chance after chance, hoping the boy she loved was still somewhere inside the monster. But all she got in return were scars. So she walked away. What Donovan doesn't know? Something inside Amanda is waking up. Something ancient. Something powerful. And when she rises—everyone will regret underestimating her. She won't just break free. She'll teach the Alpha's son a lesson so brutal, so searing— it will burn in his soul forever."
