Enchanted By The Wolf – Michele Hauf

And she filled in for Kir’s reply with, “I hate you, too.” Then she shook her head and smiled. “But not really.” The blood he had given her warmed her all over and she wrapped her arms about herself, reveling in his selfless sacrifice. * * * Kir wandered about the kitchen after he’d called for delivery. He rubbed his temples. Clasped his hands in fists, in and out. Paced the hallway from the front door to the kitchen.

The possibility of Bea being part demon was not cool. He didn’t love Edamite, that was for sure. Now to accept that his wife could be part demon? What hell had he fallen into? He rubbed his wrist where the cut had already healed. A blood-drinking wife. He’d never in a million years have thought that was what his destiny held. A destiny he’d been forced into.

But if she was not vampire, then he had no fear of developing the blood hunger. That should make everything between them right. He wanted to make this work because…because of Bea. He adored her. And really? He rubbed the mark on the back of his hand. Was he falling in love with her? Or had it already happened? He exhaled.

“Part demon?” And now the investigation was leading him toward demons, as well. The last thing he wanted to associate with was fast becoming the only way toward answers. Answers for questions he was sure he’d never in a million years purposely ask. He had never wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, and, yet, he was inexplicably tracing those very steps right now.

He’d engaged in a relationship with a woman who was part demon. Possibly? “Fuck,” he muttered. Chapter 14 Standing out in the backyard, considering her options for the flower bed, Bea rubbed the back of her neck and turned her face up toward the sun. It wasn’t as bright here in the mortal realm.

Nothing wrong with that. The sun in Faery had been cruel at times. She’d preferred her cool yet bright rooms, and when she had spent time out in nature it had been in the shaded forest that hugged her father’s demesne. She should be able to make these flowers grow. For some reason, this morning she didn’t feel as spunky and go get ’em as she normally did. And that was odd, because she’d drunk Kir’s blood last night.

Blood always got her going. Did she need to take blood directly from the vein?

Kirnan Savauterre’s loyalty to his werewolf pack is absolute—which is the only reason he agrees to an arranged marriage. But a marriage borne out of duty soon takes on a whole new spin. For Kir discovers his bride is an utterly enticing mystery. Beatrice is half-faery, maybe a little bit vampire, and altogether delightful. As for Bea, she has this much in common with her new husband: she can’t resist the passion they share. But a relationship that began as a political alliance is soon threatened by discord between the Unseelie court and the werewolves of Paris.

And Kir’s investigation into Bea’s lineage reveals disturbing truths about what she is. Their love is strong—but so are the forces arrayed against them… Kir couldn’t concentrate on the words the officiant spoke because beside him stood her. The woman soon to be named his wife. And after that they would dance and drink, and, well, he’d heard there was a honeymoon cabin erected not far from here.

Much as having sex with a woman he’d only just met didn’t appeal, Kir couldn’t think about that, either. Something sweet, like flowers or fruit, or maybe even sugared fruit topped with flowers, tickled his nostrils. The petite woman who stood beside him, the crown of her head below his shoulders, smelled like dessert. He did like dessert. He didn’t want to like her. Because that would mean he was cool with this stupid agreement. One that stuck him with a woman he didn’t know or want.

For the rest of his life. Werewolves could live three centuries or more. That was a hell of a long time to spend with one woman. Especially a woman he had not chosen.

ENCHANTED BY THE WOLF Michele Hauf Dear Reader, Some stories are so big, I’m never sure I can fit them on the page. I’m still not sure I managed that with Enchanted by the Wolf, but I hope you’ll enjoy the glimpse I give you of Kir and Bea. I love an arranged marriage story. It’s probably my favorite romance trope.
