Ainsley Connor has the perfect life - a successful real estate career in Manhattan and her books to keep her company. Best of all, she is far away from the unusual college town where she grew up. If only she didn't have the urge to turn into a giant wolf every time the moon was full... When a tragic accident forces her back to Tarker's Mills, she finds herself caught up in a steamy web of shifters and magic, locked in a power struggle for control of the pack she left behind. For Ainsley, the toughest wolf she faces might just be the one inside of her. In Episode 2, Ainsley learns about the danger facing the pack, and discovers that someone she trusts is hiding a dark secret. Will she be able to restrain the beast inside as it struggles to break free? Curse of the Alpha: Episode 2 is the second novella in Curse of the Alpha, a serial told in six episodes, much like a TV show. It tells the story of Ainsley Connor, a female werewolf, and her struggle to come to terms with her past, and accept her true nature and her role in the future of the pack. It contains strong sexual elements, and is NOT intended for readers under the age of 18.
