What kind of witch are you when you can't even use your magic? Not a good one that's for sure. Alise Davis has always felt the energy of her magic churning just below the surface. The only thing she's been able to do so far is draw pictures that for some reason, make people feel exactly how she was feeling at the time she drew it—a manifestation of her emotions. But all of a sudden she's been able to see the animals of the many shifters who live in Springlake Pines. She'd not been able to do that before. And it seems as if her magic is pulling her toward something, or someone. Inquiries to her father uncover her mother's grimoire and the fact her mother has a twin sister. Family may be just who she needs to get the answers to her magic problem. Michael Cante is a monster created. Turned against his will. A monster too dangerous to live amongst the Springlake Pines Pack, relegated to the outskirts of the pack. But now, his wolf is on the hunt. Stalking a woman he's never seen before in town. It's dangerous for him to be in town. For the people that is. He didn't understand why his wolf fixated on this woman, until he scents her and locks eyes with her. Mate. The monster has a mate and she is the only one who can make him powerful enough to defeat the one person who has answers for the both of them. His Maker.
