An Alpha's Love And Fire

Anne T. Thyssen Paranormal

“How can you know that when you haven’t even tried?” I questioned.
She sighed and glanced at the ground for a moment before meeting my gaze again, pain evident in her eyes. How broken she appeared. Despite having her mark removed, she had lost herself.
“I pour my heart into everything I do,” she confessed. “I pour my soul into it, and I can’t take that risk because I know the outcome.”
“You don’t know,” I insisted.
“But I do. I do know.”
“Cecilia...” I began.
“Don’t... Don’t give me some long speech about why I should give this a chance,” she interrupted. “I can’t...”
“Why?” I implored.
“Because I’ll fall in love with you,” she admitted.
I stood there stunned, surprised to hear her say those words. It was everything I desired—her love. I wanted her to fall in love with me, and I knew she saw it in my eyes. She knew I wanted her to.
Okay, forget dinner. We’re taking her straight to the bedroom. No, wait... Forget the bedroom. Use the wall, the floor. She can be on top, so she doesn’t have to lie on it! We’re going to make her fall in love with us right now!
I almost wanted to laugh because I felt so elated, knowing without a doubt my mate would fall in love with me. But Cecilia didn’t look happy. She appeared scared, or... terrified.
***
Lucian has long yearned to find his mate, but it seems the Goddess has other plans. Despite his hopes that Angela might be the one, bringing a flicker of light into his life overshadowed by tragedy and his uncle's dark secrets, it was not to be. Numbing his pain through fleeting connections, Lucian never expected an ordinary day to change everything. When a mysterious stranger enters his life, he realizes she may not be a stranger at all.
Cecilia knows the agony of having her heart ripped from her chest—quite literally. Determined never to feel such pain again, she buries herself in work. Yet, when her luna, Lara, invites her to the castle, she meets Lucian, her second chance. Despite her resistance, she finds herself unable to reject him, but Lucian is not one to give up easily.
Can Cecilia overcome her fears and let love in once more? And what will happen when Lucian's dark past refuses to stay buried?
