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

We clear the woods by the time the sun starts peeking out over the horizon and I can’t help but glance behind me every few minutes, willing Rick to appear. I am traveling in the middle of the party with Evanora and Carl flanking me on either side, my father steadfast at the front. 


A second party started out an hour before us with my decoy in place, but there is still a tension resonating through the group. We will be out in the open, vulnerable to attack, until we reach my father’s compound. 


As we approach the base of the mountain we have to cross over, I take one final look back and wipe away a wayward tear. Evanora puts an arm around me in a gesture of comfort. 


“Don’t worry, Raven. I’m sure the Alpha will come to his senses,” Evanora says. 


“He better,” Carl mutters under his breath.


“Do you know that for sure?” I ask her with desperation in my voice. She does see the future after all.
