"Leave me alone, Brett," I growled. He refused, pushing me back against the wall and pinning me there. "Just listen to me!" he pleaded. I rolled my eyes and tried to push him away without luck. "We're supposed to be together." "Maybe I don't want to be with you," I shot back with venom. Brett looked hurt, but I didn't care. How could I? I hadn't cared for much of anything in years. "Alora..." he breathed out, obviously pained. I couldn't bring myself to look in his blue eyes. I couldn't feel again. It would only bring pain and misery. "Look at me." It was a command. And that's where I snapped. He did not own me! I was NOT his, and he would NEVER have me! I could feel my anger growing, the fire spreading over my arms and burning through my shirt. Brett starred into my eyes with shock--my cold, black eyes. Alora Hearthrope has had a hard life. She doesn't take kindly to many people, and especially not those who think they have power over her.

She also happens to be the last of her kind of supernatural species--a phoenix firebird. So when the Alpha of the strongest pack in North America seeks her out, will he burn down like all the others or will this one soothe Alora's burning heart?
