The world is awake – vampires, witches, werewolves, and more are real and outed in the human community. Fear runs deep, and a set of rules instituted by a small council are all that keep people together with a fragile balance.Ivy Lancaster knows the rules. Be prepared, be efficient, and get out. That didn’t make going to council meetings more enjoyable. As the Witch Elect, she knew far better ways to help her community stay at peace with humans than sitting through monthly board meetings. Too bad the Council of Supernaturals didn’t care.One thing makes the meetings bearable. Elijah Vikander has no love for the Council of Supernaturals. He was Alpha. Wolves answered to him, he didn’t answer to others. He could stop going, force the wolves to elect a beta member of the Crescent Pack, but then he couldn’t see the enchanting off-limits witch. When a group of warlocks threaten to tear the proclamation down and take over the city with forbidden magic, pairings are made to track and take the men down. Ivy and Elijah are forced into a coupling that will either destroy their world, or save everyone.
