The Bully's Shadow (Sterling Heights Academy #3)
Allia Rose
My only goal at Sterling Heights Academy was to be invisible. I fled my past and a family that saw my rare biological condition not as a shameful secret, but as a commodity to be sold. Here, among the elite, I could hide. I could pretend to be normal.
My plan was working until I was paired with Ashor Vane for the semester’s most demanding project.
He’s the arrogant, cruel son of a powerful professor, an Alpha who moves through the hallowed halls of the academy like a predator. He sees everything, and he sees the secret I’m so desperate to protect. He knows my body betrays me in a way that would make me an outcast.
Now, he owns my secret. And he plans to own me.
Our project becomes a torment, his lessons a series of escalating humiliations designed to break me down piece by piece. He wants to possess every part of me, from my shame to my submission. But when the darker wolves of his secret society see me as their next plaything, my monster becomes my only protector. He marked me as his, and he’ll burn his entire world to the ground to keep what he claimed.
In the shadows of Sterling Heights, I’m trapped in a dangerous game where surrender may be my only path to survival, and the heart of my bully may be my only safe harbor.
