When young witch Raven kills a werewolf in self-defense, she has no idea of the severity of her actions. In order to stop a war, Raven is sent to serve Alpha Alaric, a dangerous man whose hatred of witches is well known.  As Raven acclimates to her new life amongst the enemy, she is shocked to realize that her intense attraction to Alaric is reciprocated. Will Raven survive amongst the werewolves and stop a war…or will she be overtaken by the dangerous passion that threatens to consume her. 

“‘I trust this will suit your purposes,’ he says. A big four poster bed sits in the middle of the room with.   
‘My purpose of sleeping? I would think so,’ I retort and he growls in response. He stalks towards me and I back up until my knees hit the bed. 
“You’ve got quite the mouth on you, Raven. But I don’t believe it’s being properly utilized,” he whispers in a sexy voice. His lips are so close to mine they are almost touching and I exhale a shallow breath. I’m frozen where I stand, caught in a trance.   
I feel overwhelmed by him and I tell myself I’m not enjoying it. But I know deep down that it’s not true. Something is anchoring me to him that I can’t explain. I shiver in response to his proximity and he lets out an almost imperceptible growl. I feel compelled to reach up and touch his face, to move my mouth closer so he has better access. I’m the one that’s a witch, but I find myself bound under the Alpha’s spell.”

Under the Alpha's Spell

I barely make it in the door and I can’t help a giggle from bubbling up. The look on Rick’s face was priceless. Carl is staring at me with a very confused expression, which makes me laugh even harder. 


“Are you okay, Miss Raven?” he asks me. I am hysterical now, the emotions from the past week overflowing out of me in a less than ideal way. I take a deep breath and try to calm myself, but little giggles keep escaping as I answer him. 


“I’m perfectly well, Carl,” I reply. He gives me a strange look and I giggle some more, then head up to my room before Rick catches me, with Carl trailing behind me and scratching his head.


As soon as I enter my room, another messenger bird flies through the window and drops another compact on my bed.  I open it and Rowena’s face appears, but she looks worried.


“Raven! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to mess things up!” she cries and I can see tears in her eyes. 


“What are you talking about?” I ask. My good mood is replaced with a sense of foreboding.
