I'm not supposed to be here.

That's what I keep telling everyone but no one will listen. I just wanted to see the castle nestled deep in the woods. Instead, I end up getting kidnapped.

The problem is that I have a plane to catch. I can't be stuck in some weird castle for who knows how long.

So, I try to appeal to King Koda's compassionate side.

Too bad for me, he doesn't seem to have one.

I don't want to be here.

I've ruled my pack just fine on my own for years.

I'm all set to scare off this latest batch of girls brought in for the mating ceremony until she walks in.

Salem.

Just like her name, she's a witch who has me under her spell.

She's also human and the last person I want for a mate.

For the first time in my life, I'm at war with my wolf. He wants his mate but he has to know she's not suitable for us.

So, I kidnap her and lock her away in my castle until I can figure out what to do with her.

With my head and my wolf at war, there's no way this story has a happy ending. I just need to figure out a solution. One where we both win.
