Wolf’s Bane: Happily Ever After (Once Upon A Villain)
by Donna R. Mercer
Genre: PNR, Adult Fairytale
Blurb:
Villains aren’t bad people; they are just victims of circumstances. Granted, they are usually the ones to create that circumstance, but that is not the point.
Lucius was living the good life. Spending time with his mate as she pranced around in her sexy red hood. Mmmm, he couldn’t wait to get a bite of that luscious little cupcake. Nothing was better than tasting her cream filling.
Then his mate betrayed him.
Next, a dead body turned up, and all fingers were pointing at Lucius for making it that way.
A shiny example of life sticking it to him once again. Waking up in jail, accused of killing his biggest rival, Lucius thought his day couldn’t get much worse until help was offered from his most hated enemy. Before he knew it, he was accepting help from a witch, the last creature on the planet that he trusted. His whole situation just screams shady.
Second chances are a thing of Fairy Tales. Two things Lucius doesn’t believe in, Second Chances and Happily Ever Afters. Now he is being offered both.
And all he has to do was avoid screwing up his second chance, and find a murderer all while convincing his mate to fall in love with him again and not keeping his date with the Woodman’s ax.

Excerpt:
“Oh yuck,” Ruby yelled. “You got blood on my Jimmy Choo. Do you know how much I paid for these?”
The sound of death in Ruby’s voice rivaled any sound that Lucius ever made. He was proud of his mate. He watched her take off the ruined footwear and use it to beat the third jackal with it while Wolf continued to shred the second one to bits and the leader laid unconscious on the ground.
As he finished killing the second jackal, he turned to finish off the third one only to find Ruby wiping the heel of her designer shoe on a clean space of his shirt as he lay bleeding from the holes she caused by the heel. Lucius shifted back into his human form, the magic of the shift carrying his clothes with him. He stared down at the body of the third jackal before turning to stare at his sweet mate.
She gave him a wide-eyed look. “What?”
“Remind me to never piss you off when you are wearing designer shoes.” He gathered her into his arms and kissed her deeply. “I love you, mate.”
“No, you don’t. You’re just horny from the adrenaline rush of the fight. Besides I’m not your mate. And never get blood on my designer shoes. These things are expensive.” Lucius’ mouth dropped open as she casually disregarded his declaration of love. He threw back his head, laughing loudly into the night. He pulled Ruby into his arms, hugging her close as his heart stopped racing from an adrenaline rush.
“Well, that is a good point, but I do love you, and you are my mate.”
She studied him before shaking her head in denial. “No, you don’t. You’re just caught up in the heat of the moment. The adrenaline rush of the fight. As soon as it wears off, you will be back to the mild liking you had for me previously. The burgeoning feelings of lust and you will realize you were mistaken. That I’m not your mate.”
