Season of the Witch (Claws Clause Book 2)

Season of the Witch is the second book in a series of interconnected standalones, each with their own happy ending. In a world where paranormals and humans coexist, Ordinance 7304—known as the Claws Clause—establishes laws that bonded couples must follow for their union to be recognized. Colton Wolfe, a wolf paranormal, has long disliked witches and their ability to neutralize his strength and claws. After a witch nearly kills him, his dislike becomes hatred. He isolates himself in his workshop, refusing contact with packmates, though his wolf yearns for its mate—a witch named Shea Moonshadow, whom he has rejected for five months. Shea is a healer whose magic frequently backfires. When her brother Hudson, a blood donor addicted to vampire highs, gets into trouble, she cannot refuse him. She becomes pledged to a blood-bonding with an obsessed vampire. When dangerous paranormals move into Colt's territory, targeting both humans and paranormals, the Grayson Police Department recruits him to fight the Nightwalkers. Colt discovers that Shea is entangled in this conflict. Facing the possibility of losing her, Colt and his wolf are determined to claim and protect her.
