Branded by Fire
(Blood & Magic Series, #4)
By Danielle Annett

Blurb:

Aria Naveed can't decide what's worse--being mate-bonded to Declan Valkenaar, the Alpha of the Pacific Northwest Pack, or owning up to the fact that she's developing feelings for him.

Her bond to Declan is the one thing keeping her grounded and preventing her new power from destroying everything and everyone around her.

If Aria doesn't tread carefully, especially where her heart is concerned, she'll learn the hard way that if you play with fire, you'll always get burned.

Excerpt

• “Aria, you’re being unreasonable." He took a step forward and reached out for me.

  I sidestepped away, then put a hand on my forehead when the room began spinning.

  “Unreasonable?” I ground it, “You asked men within the Pack to court me. You

  wanted to tie me to the Pack so you could use me.” I was practically yelling at him now.

  Maybe I wasn’t too tired to fight with him after all. This confrontation had been a long

  time coming.

  “That was before …” he trailed off.

  “Right,” I scoffed. “Before you bit me and tied me to you. Before you decided this

  little mate bond between us somehow made me your soul mate. Now you care about me

  as a person, is that it? But before I was just a tool for you to use and somehow I should be

  okay with it? I should be flattered that Declan Valkenaar, Alpha to the Pacific Northwest

  Pack, has picked me to be his mate? Is that what you’re telling me?”

  I blinked hard as tears threatened to spill. Dammit, why did he have such an effect

  on me? I rubbed the ache in my chest and turned away from him.

  He didn’t say anything for several long minutes.

  I climbed into my bed and tucked myself under the covers as silent tears spilled

  down my cheeks.

  The mattress dipped, and Declan slid into the bed beside me.

  “Go away,” I choked out.

  He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled my back flush against his chest.

  “I’m a bastard.”

  “I know.”

  “And I don’t deserve you.”

  “Glad you’re finally realizing that.”

  I swiped at the tears on my cheeks and tried to pull away from him, but his grip was

  iron tight.

  “But I love you.”

  I sucked in a breath. He—what?

  I froze, suddenly unable to form any coherent thoughts or words.

  He didn’t say anything else, just settled in beside me with his arm wrapped tightly
• around my body and his legs now tangled with mine. I listened as his breathing slowly

  evened out and realized the exact moment when he fell asleep.

  Declan told me he loved me. The bond that connected us flared to life at his words, and I

  suddenly realized, I believed him.
