Excerpt:

"Release me," She commanded weakly, aware of the tremble in her own voice.
Her entire body seemed to be vibrating at his touch.
Sea green eyes wide with uncertainty met molten silver, and wavered.
There was undisguised aggression and desire raging in those eyes.
He was the absolute male, the alpha wolf, a calculating and dangerous predator. And she was the prey.
Too late she realized her mistake. You could not bait a wolf and expect the response to be anything other than savage.
"Bael," She whimpered nervously, primitive female instincts warning her that enraged males must be handled carefully to be placated.
She resorted to her gender's only defense against mistakes of this magnitude, and ducked her head in repentant surrender, looking up at him from beneath heavy lashes, "Please."
His powerful body appeared to shudder, as if some great beast were attempting to break free of the confines of his skin. Then he released her, storm ravaged eyes warning her that she would be wise to retreat in silence.
