They say betrayal breaks a person, but mine rebuilt me into someone else entirely. It all started the night I found out my three-year boyfriend was never really mine. I was just part of a cruel dare, a game he and my best friend of thirteen years played together. The two people I trusted most were the same ones who destroyed me. To them, I wasn’t a girlfriend. I was entertainment. I ran that night without looking back, leaving everything I thought I knew about love and friendship behind. I tried to start over somewhere far away, somewhere they couldn’t reach me. But fate had other plans. That same night, I ran into him. Wyatt, the infamous, dangerously powerful leader of an illegal biker gang. Cold, feared, untouchable, the kind of man people whispered about but never looked in the eyes for too long. At first, he was just another storm I had to survive. But somewhere between control and chaos, between fear and something I refused to name, I became trapped in a connection that started with dominance, blurred into obsession, and twisted into something I could no longer escape. I told myself it was wrong. I told myself I was healing. But Wyatt didn’t just want me in his world, he wanted me in his life. Completely, irrevocably. And the same man known for breaking people without remorse slowly became the one who would kneel, beg, and destroy the world just to keep me. Now I’m caught between the betrayal that created me and the man who might ruin me all over again, or love me harder than anyone ever has. And I still don’t know which one is more dangerous.
