Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance)

Paige:

I discovered a long time ago that my trust should always rest within myself. In the past few years, I've built a strong sense of independence, and these emotional barriers aren't going anywhere – not even for someone like Colin Blackburn. He's an alpha, a captivating yet conceited individual... You know the type. I'll play along, fulfill my role as his Luna, but make no mistake, he won't breach the emotional bond I've established.

Colin:

The universe must be having a laugh, because pairing me with Paige Bradshaw just doesn't make sense. She's relentless, constantly pushing my buttons. But being an alpha, I refuse to back down from any challenge, no matter how daunting. Wolves, you see, are meant to be lifelong partners. Whether she accepts it or not, she's mine now.

I'm fiercely protective of her life, but I worry that winning her heart might prove to be an even greater battle...
