    Torment  (Dark Alpha 1) -  New Adult Paranormal Romance

    Shifters live in the shadows of Seattle, just under the skin of the alpha male, dot-com entrepreneurs who are building a new Silicon Valley in the Emerald City. 

    Jak enjoys the female human population of Seattle as much as any wolf, but his heart belongs to a female shifter who's already mated. Worse, she's the mate of his alpha's brother. 

    Arianna was captured from her pack when she was only twenty and mated to a wolf whose dark side takes full advantage of her unbreakable bond to him. Her nights belong to him, but her days are free to explore other things... including feelings for a wolf she can never have.

    Is love stronger than magic? Or will breaking an unbreakable bond destroy them both?

    Torment  (Dark Alpha 1) is 60 pages or 15,000 words. It’s the first of six episodes in the  Dark Alpha  serial.   Dark Alpha is the sequel series to True Alpha, the debut shifters-in-Seattle paranormal romance from Alisa Woods.

If only she weren’t so beautiful, it might not hurt so much to watch.
    Jak guarded Arianna’s backpack while she skipped around University of Washington’s Red Square—although the red brick paving of the central plaza was mostly covered by the colorful fall leaves that Arianna was kicking up as she twirled around, arms flung wide. Her smile was big enough to garner smirks from the passing students who had to dodge her little freedom dance, but she didn’t seem to care. The mountain was “out” today—the normal dreary drip of Seattle had parted to reveal brilliant blue skies and Mount Rainier shining in the distance. It was gorgeous and breathtaking and far, far out of reach… like Arianna in every way.
    She spun closer then stopped and fixed him with her blue-dazzle eyes. “What are the chances, Jak?” Her breath make a small puff in the cool fall air, and her smile was infectious.
    He grinned. “The chances of you being late to class? Getting better all the time.”
    She lunged over and hit him. Not hard, of course. A slap on the shoulder for daring to remind her why they were here. But it was the first time she had ever touched him, and it brought a whiff of her natural scent over the backdrop of fall leaves: his shifter-enhanced senses detected a hint of musk under her blackberry-and-lavender soap. The earthy scent might be arousal… or it might just be the plain joy clear on her face. Either way, it speared through his heart. He had to force himself to keep the grin in place.
