Synopsis
Will is a witch wolf, a werewolf who can do magic, but his life so far has been anything but magical. He was sold by his own pack and for four years, Will suffered as a slave to his captors — who used him any way they wanted. Now, after a leap of courage has brought him to Colin’s doorstep, Will’s past should be just that, his past.
Colin can see the new apprentice he’s supposed to teach magic has been hurt. Colin wants to comfort the young werewolf who takes to magic much more easily than he takes to human contact. Their attraction seems mutual, but how can Colin be certain Will even knows what he wants?
As slow affection grows between Colin and Will, Will’s magic does as well, and he allows himself a sliver of happiness. Except the dark past Will thought he escaped from is not quite done with him, and now, it’s not just Will’s life on the line, but also Colin’s, the witch Will’s heart is beating for.
WARNING: Witch Wolf contains references to past sexual assault (with none of it happening on the page), which may be triggering for some readers.

Colin was in the kitchen, wearing board shorts and a T-shirt, and making pancakes. An ancient radio with the shiny antenna out at an angle on the counter was providing the soundtrack to which the witch danced around the kitchen barefoot.
“Oh, hey,” Colin said. “I hope you like pancakes.”
Will liked Colin’s blue eyes. They were warm, certainly warmer than Peter’s.
“Is there syrup?” Will asked. He would be good without syrup, and the pile of fluffy, golden-brown yumminess on the counter made him salivate.
Colin stopped swinging his hips. “Oh. I put the last of that in my coffee yesterday.”
“Why’d you put syrup in your coffee? Who does that?”
Colin shrugged and flipped another pancake before moving the pile he’d already made to the Formica kitchen table.
“I ran out of sugar,” the witch said. “Mmh. Can you do strawberry jam?” He cha-cha-ed to the fridge and opened it. Will saw a good dozen jars of what looked like homemade jams. “Oh, or blackberry. There’s plenty of that.”
“I like strawberries,” Will said. He carefully sat down at the table. There was a big clock in the kitchen, an antique-looking one with a smiling face painted on it. It hung high up on the wall opposite the window and stove and ticked the seconds away. Apparently, they’d slept past the point where lunch was normal. But no one had made Will breakfast in ages, and he wasn’t going to complain.
“Awesome.” Colin put down the jar in front of Will and fished plates and cutlery from a cabinet and drawers. Will liked watching the witch move, the way he went from one place to the next, then back to the stove to take the pancake out and pour more batter.
Will eyed the food in the center of the table. He was already starving.
“You don’t do gluten or something? Why’re you not digging in already?” Colin asked, totally breaking Will’s reverie of fried batter.
Will cleared his throat and looked at his plate. “It’s a wolf thing? Like, the alpha eats first, you know.”
Colin broke out in giggles. “Oh, fuck, dude. Did you just call me ‘the alpha’? Because if you did, I might like it, but I’m also really not.”
“It’s just… it’s just a wolf thing.”
