The Bully's Mate!

Keith Monroe never believed finding his mate would happen so soon. “You never know. Some wolves find their mate on their eighteenth birthday. You should listen to me and stop wasting time with unmated she-wolves,” his mother always warned him. Keith lives in the powerful Silvermoon Pack, and in just two days, he will turn eighteen—the age when werewolves can finally discover their destined mate. Right now, Sandy is his girlfriend. His mother tells him he should end things before he finds his true mate, and deep down, Keith knows she is right. He has tried to break up with Sandy several times, but somehow, she always finds a way to change his mind. Keith knows he should be waiting for his mate. But he is young, and nothing is guaranteed. Finding a mate could happen on his eighteenth birthday... Or it could take years. --- “Mate.” The moment Keith saw her, the word escaped his lips. He walked toward her, unable to believe what he was feeling. But the second she looked up, her expression changed. “No.” Then she ran. Because there was no way her mate could be the one person who had made her life miserable for years. Ebony is a werewolf from the struggling Blood Moon Pack. At only sixteen, she lives with her mother in the poorest part of town, far away from the life of luxury others enjoy. Keith is everything Ebony is not. He is the future Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, wealthy, admired, and powerful. And she hates him. For years, Keith and his friends have bullied Ebony, making her life unbearable. Keith looks down on her because he sees her as weak and insignificant. They have always been enemies. Until fate changes everything. On the night Keith turns eighteen, he discovers the one person he never expected is his destined mate... Ebony. Now Keith must face the consequences of his past and try to earn the heart of the girl he once hurt. But their bond is not the only thing standing between them. Old wounds remain. Enemies are waiting. And some people will do anything to tear them apart. Can the mate bond truly overcome hatred? Can Keith prove that he has changed? Or will the pain of the past be stronger than destiny itself?
