Excerpt where Ilona meets the wolf:
The wolf
looked at her, golden eyes gleaming, mouth open, showing off large, sharp
teeth. She closed her eyes and gripped her throat with both hands. Quaking with
terror, she listened as the animal padded toward her. She felt its hot breath
on her cheek.
Opening her
eyes a slit, she stared into the face of the wolf. Sad eyes stared at her, and
her fears receded. Perhaps he'd been tamed. She reached out with what was left
of her powers, but sensed no immediate danger. "Good wolf," she
stammered.
She held out
one shaking fist, and the wolf sniffed it before licking her knuckles. It moved
closer, sniffing her clothing. To her surprise, the animal hunkered down beside
her and laid its head on her leg. Carefully, she touched it, stroking the soft
fur.
Relief
flooded through her. Saved by a wolf, of all creatures. "Thank the gods
you showed up when you did. I'd no wish to be ravished by the likes of
him."
The wolf
lifted its head and seemed to smile up at her, mouth open, tongue lolling.
She smiled
at the canine as she continued to pet it. "Grateful I am for you rescuing
me, but 'tis not exactly what a girl dreams of. Where's my knight on a white
steed? 'Tis he who is supposed to do the rescuing."
When the
wolf lowered his head, sniffing between her legs, she laughed and pushed it
away. "Rude creature."
The animal
responded by sitting up and resting its head on her breast. She put both arms
around it and hugged it close, dropping a kiss on its head. "Do not
misunderstand, Sir Wolf, but I still wish you were a knight. A strong, handsome
knight like my Werner."
The familiar
sadness filled her at the memory of her husband. "I miss him so much, you
know. Dagmar says another knight will come for me, a handsome knight to protect
us and make sweet, passionate love to me."
The wolf
whined and raised his head to lick her cheek. Laughing, she tried to push him
away, but he licked her full on the mouth. She closed her eyes, stunned when
her powers came rushing back, like a flood of magic coursing around her.
Turning
aside, she summoned her basket to her side. Out of the corner of her eye, she
saw the wolf jump up, staring at the basket. Her vision seemed to blur as the
wolf's face slowly became humanlike, then shifted back. She must have hit her
head harder than she'd thought if she was seeing things. She closed her eyes
and shook her head, but the aching had receded.
When she
peeked again, the wolf was gone, and a naked man crouched in front of her. A
handsome, well-built man with shaggy brown hair and golden brown eyes.
