An Alpha's Love And Fire

Anne T. Thyssen Paranormal

“How can you know that, when you haven’t even tried?” I asked her.
She sighed and looked at the ground for a moment, before turning back to me again, and I could see the pain in her eyes, how broken she looked. She might have gotten her mark removed, but she had lost herself. It was clear as day.
“I put my heart into everything I do,” she said. “I put my soul into it, and I can’t take that risk of trying because I know what will happen.”
“You don’t know,” I said.
“But I do. I do know.”
“Cecilia …”
“Don’t … Don’t give me some long speech about why I should give this a chance,” she said. “I can’t …”
“Why?”
“Because I will fall in love with you,” she said.
I stood there shocked, as I heard her say those words. It was everything I wanted. Her love. I wanted her to fall in love with me, because I could think of nothing better, and I knew she saw it in my eyes. She knew I wanted her love.

Lucian has wanted to find his mate for so long, but it never seemed like the Goddess wanted to bless him with one. He even hoped Angela might be his mate because she brought a light into his dark life that has been filled with tragedy and being used by his uncle to keep dark secrets and take care of things he did not wish to take care of. He uses other people to forget his pain, but one day when nothing seems out of the ordinary a stranger enters a life ... or he believes she is a stranger.
Cecilia knows what it means to have her heart ripped out of her chest ... Literally, and she refuses to ever let her heart feel anything for anyone again. She drowns herself in work, but when Lara, her luna, invites her to the castle, she meets her second chance, Lucian. She doesn't want him, but can't refuse him either, and Lucian is not one to give up. Can Cecilia ever overcome her fears? And what happens when Lucian's dark past won't stay in the past anymore?
