What would you do if the boy who bullied you for a long time suddenly showed an interest?
Marshall Briggs is an alpha wolf—and a bully. He’s tormented Scarlett for as long as he can remember. When he turns eighteen all of his senses are awakened. It’s his final year of high school, and he can’t wait for it to be over.
Then he scents his mate, and Marshall is shocked. The girl he’s bullied is in fact his mate. Everything has changed. Now he must show to Scarlett he’s a changed man, one who will do everything to keep her close.
Marshall Briggs is suddenly being kind to her, and Scarlett is more confused than happy. How can she trust him? Is it another joke he’s playing on her?
Marshall definitely has a fight on his hands to get from bully to boyfriend.
May be spoilers:
Alpha Bully is part of The Alpha Shifter Collection. It has 12 chapters and is about Marshall and Scarlett.
Scarlett is a shy girl who has been bullied all her life because she is bigger. She never takes up for herself.
Marshall, he’s mean to her and doesn’t protect her. More so cause he feels something for her and doesn’t want to. He hasn’t been celibate since meeting, but it didn’t bother me.
Both are in their last year of high school. Things change when Marshall transitions into his wolf and realizes Scarlett is his mate.
She’s very hesitant in her trust of him as he’s hurt her for 5 years with his words. He’s all in though and goes about making her feel safe with him.
There is another boy vying for her attention, but she just thinks of him as a friend. There is a cheerleader that Marshall has slept with that is around and causes a little drama.
She’s a virgin. He’s been celibate since before he realized Scarlett was his mate. I love that they took their time getting to know each other. Steam hit at the end of the story, I do love a lot of steam, but it goes with the storyline.
Good read, I thought. I love how he went about showing her he changed. Really wish for an epilogue, but it is still good.
No cheating, no separations. Slight ow/om drama, but it was nothing major.
The end is just a year that they have been together and they have just gotten married. Good story. I gave it 🌟🌟🌟½ . Have you read it? What did you think?
