The Wolf’s Torment
by Stephanie
Burkhart
BLURB:
It's 1865 and Moldavia is a country nestled against the shores of
the Black Sea. Lady Theresa travels from Austria to this country that's haunted
by tales of vampires and werewolves. She's going to marry the Crown Prince, but
she harbors her own unspoken secrets.
Prince Mihai has just returned to Moldavia to discover he's a
witch. He's intent on being a good husband and modernizing his country, but he
must find a balance with his supernatural heritage. His best friend, Viktor,
accompanies Mihai and marries Mihai's sister. In an unfortunate twist of fate,
a werewolf bites Viktor.
Viktor's transformation threatens everyone around him, including
his wife's safety and Mihai's happiness, but he's especially dangerous when
he's near Theresa. Can Mihai save his family from Viktor's lies and deceptions?
Excerpt:
Tybeski nodded and walked out. Now
alone, Mihai escorted Sonia to the sofa and sat
down next to her. Viktor stood
behind the leather-bound chair adjacent to the sofa, bracing his hands on the
headrest, keeping a certain distance between them.
"Sonia, tell me what
happened."
"Viktor is a werewolf."
"What? Impossible!" Mihai
got to his feet, a wave of nervous apprehension threading
through him.
"It is possible, Mihai. A wolf
named Bane bit me on our honeymoon. I have transformed," Viktor said
quietly.
Mihai lunged at his friend, grabbing
the right lapel of his frock jacket. His nostrils were distended with shock,
coupled with fear. For him. For Sonia. For Moldavia.
"How could you? You were
armed!"
"Mihai, no, don't harm him. He
tried to fight them, but they overpowered him." Sonia got to her feet and
clenched her fists against his chest. "You have to help him -- you're a
witch, after all. You have to teach me to help him."
Mihai took a step back, his body as
tight as a bowstring. Yes, he was a witch, but he had no idea what to do. He
was no teacher.
"I must go to Mulfaltar the
next full moon and meet with my maker's pack," said Viktor.
Mihai slowly ran his gaze over
Viktor. Sonia was right. His eyes were no longer soft and kind, but hard and
edged.
"Are you a danger to
Sonia?"
