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 want to follow Raven and explain myself, but I can’t come up with a good enough reason for my reaction. Maybe it’s the strong Alpha inside me that is resistant to the idea of a female having the title or maybe I’m not as open to change as I thought I was. 


Maybe it’s your ego that’s the problem, a voice inside me whispers. 


I scoff at myself for that thought. I have no problem with Raven being a strong woman. It’s one of the things that I love most about her. So why am I having such a problem with the idea of her becoming Alpha?


I don’t have time to contemplate my faults because we need to get ready to leave on our journey. I have some misgivings about going home since I didn’t leave on the best of terms. I know Quentin will support me and help if he can, but the rest of the pack might be harder to convince. I am just praying that the witches are still there and can also assist us.
