It's time for a MidWeek Tease and this morning I've pulled a snippet from my first novel, Witch Hunt. This is Aidan's first look at leading lady, Rei.
Witch Hunt excerpt:
Aidan had only tracked her for twenty minutes before he
spotted her fire. The young woman looked like an old-school Earth worshipper
with her arms stretched out to the large fire. He was a little shocked to find
a witch on the hunting grounds but figured she had trekked too far from the national
park bordering the land.
When he saw her standing down there with her pale skin
glowing in the firelight, he had decided to settle in and watch for a while
before interrupting. She was a rare creature of beauty standing boldly in
nothing but the gifts nature had given her. She looked like a golden goddess
praying to the stars. Staring down from a low-lying ridge, Aidan, in his shape
as a large gray wolf, watched her stretch up from her toes all the way to her
fingertips. He lay on his stomach, front paws folded under his muzzle. Her
short dark hair drifted lazily in the cool breeze. The firelight caught teasing
hints of scarlet highlights in her hair, creating a glowing halo around her
face. He was just starting to admire her full, perky breasts and lovely flat
stomach when a surge of energy shot through his body like a shock. The energy
had the same feeling to it as the explosive energy he had felt the pack shaman
call up on occasion. He jumped up to his paws, transforming back into a man,
intent on yelling out for her to stop. Just as his hands had cupped around his
mouth, the Earth answered her call.
Aidan had only one thought when he saw the nude woman
actually manage to call up the Wild Hunt. That crazy bitch! As the woman
ran off into the darkness of the forest, Aidan started to quickly move higher
up the ridgeline. He dropped his hands to the ground and again transformed into
the sleek wolf. The wolf gave pursuit, tracking the woman, searching for the
boundary set in place by the hunt. He knew if this crazy woman found the pack’s
ceremonial grounds the power she found would eat her alive.
I hope you were intrigued and don't forget to hop on over to the other great blogs!
Peace and Love
After the bloody murder of her brother, Rei finds herself on the run
from the coven that killed him. A powerful Earth witch, Rei searches for
a natural well of magic to avenge her brother’s death, even if it costs
her life. However, standing between her and her goal is an alluring
wolf.
Aidan never took the time or interest to look for his mate, but when the young witch shows up on pack hunting grounds his solitary life is turned upside down. Now, he must find a way to protect his pack and the woman that fate has handed him.
