Welcome to Sensuous Promo’s Darkest Magic Tour
Even a wolf can be weakened by loss of love
Loss of love is a common theme in romance,
and it shows up in my stories from time to time. In The Trouble With Memories,
Lucy is mourning the fact Cal no longer remembers her. He lost his memory as a
result of the Mars Mission and though she wants to pick up where they left off,
she can’t. But the loss didn’t only affect Lucy. Later in the story, Cal
discusses why he was so susceptible to the Martian’s mind games. He says, “I
didn’t have Lucy. Without her, I’m weak.” With a broken heart, any of us can become
vulnerable, even an alpha wolf.
In Darkest Magic, the alpha wolf, Eli,
loses his mate. He’s taken a new mate, Petrina, not realizing she’s really an
evil witch. In his weakened state of heartache, he invites evil into the pack
and falls under its spell. Luckily for Eli, he has a very loyal beta wolf named
Nik who will do everything he can to rid the pack of the evil magic while
holding it together with his bare paws, if need be. The only thing Nik won’t
stand for is Eli threatening his daughter, Caroline. There, Nik must draw the
line. He loves her, and though they are not yet mated – for some unknown reason
– he will fight to save her from the evil magic.
During the final battle, Caroline herself
falls prey to Petrina’s spells. She thinks she sees Nik being killed by her
father and rushes to help, only to put herself into the greatest danger. For
Nik, Caroline is weak, just like Cal was weak without Lucy.
Sometimes it truly takes two to make the
good magic work!

Hideous cries came from the woods. Was it
Petrina howling in pain or the other witch? Unable to tell, she opened the door
about an inch. Nik wouldn’t mind if she just peeked a little, would he?
Outside, the world had gone topsy-turvy.
Patterns of spells and energy swirled over a thin, nearly-invisible barrier in
the middle of the woods. The shield separated the two warring factions. On one
side Petrina, Eli, and several of his soldiers. Otis, Estrella, and Nik on the
other. Caroline cracked the door a little farther to get a better view. Her
gaze locked with Petrina’s glowing green eyes. For several seconds, she could
not look away. She went dizzy and clutched the wall to keep from falling down.
When at last she blinked, everything had changed for the worse.
Her father had Nik trapped against the
barrier, his fierce, long claws raking over his body, ripping him apart,
shredding the flesh from his bones. Blood pooled at Nik’s feet, and his eyes
rolled back in his head. He screamed her name before falling to the ground in a
lifeless lump.
An echoing screech burned through her lungs
as she raced toward him. Before she reached his side, Otis was there, pulling
at her, not letting her get closer. He possessed a surprising amount of
strength for such a little man. Though she kicked and hit him, she was unable
to break free of his grasp. Sorrow pierced her heart. She needed to get to Nik.
Why were people always keeping them apart? Desperate, she cried his name over
and over, but he did not move. Nik was dead. Her one true mate gone forever.
Tears flooded her vision as her heart crumpled. Even though they’d only spoken
words of mating to each other and not physically joined, her soul prepared to
die of sorrow.
The next instant, Estrella shrieked and
flew above her and Otis. With her hair flying around her and magic zapping from
her fingertips like liquid lightning, she made a fearsome sight. She crossed
right through a bright, swirling, magical barrier and collided headlong with
Petrina. The two witches screeched as they fought, their limbs tangling around
each other in a whirl of motion so fiercely bright it hurt her extra keen eyes
to watch. Neither witch drew blood, but their use of magic shook the shield,
the trees, and the forest floor as though they would tear the entire world
apart. A thunderous roar split the air and the partition shattered, exploding in
a flash of white light. When the forest returned to normal, things appeared
very different.
