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

As I lay in bed after Raven leaves, I alternate between wondering if I made the biggest mistake of my life and cursing her name. The fact that she could so easily walk out the door should make it less painful to watch her go. 


The pain is excruciating; I feel as though a limb has been severed. I also feel guilty about how we left things. I was angry and said things I didn’t mean, things I knew would hurt her. But I wanted to hurt her, because it hurt me that she kept such a huge secret from me. I suppose it’s my fault that I put her on a pedestal, convinced she could do no wrong. 


If I’m being really honest with myself, watching her kill Victoria in such a cold way made me start thinking of what Lavinia said, about her dark magic. When she was making her speech about it, I scoffed at her words. I knew that my Raven would never turn dark, never hurt me or any other werewolves.
