My brother's best friend bullied me horribly for being too big and nerdy.

He laughed and rejected me publicly when he heard I'd loved him since I was a girl.

I ran from our small town as far as I could, but circumstances bring me back.

He's the Alpha now, and I'm forced to become his mate. Soon, my belly will grow with his baby…

I was his helpless target, the one he taunted mercilessly.

But the blushing, stammering girl is gone, and I've grown into my curves.

I want to run from him again, but our magical bond forces me to stay.

And so I sleep beside him, trying to resist my body's urges.

He's grown possessive of me, obsessively protecting what's his.

I know he won't leave me a choice, that I've always been his alone.

I know he's just playing with me, like he's always done.

So when his chance comes to break me again, beyond repair this time, will he take it?

Or will he claim his pregnant mate for good?
