It might seem an odd choice for me to use the word Jealous for
today’s #AtoZChallenge blog post. After all, jealousy is not a paranormal
subject. It is, however, a very powerful, and often very destructive, emotion.
It is even more dangerous when experienced by a supernatural creature, such as
a vampire or a werewolf.
The Redcliffe werewolves are proud, powerful, and dangerous. The alpha
wolves are the most volatile, which is how they came to be leaders of the pack.
I am talking about the alpha wolf, Danny Mason, and his lieutenants, Simon
Bunce and Sally Frost. Danny demonstrates the extent of his jealous power when
he turns it on Jessica and Jack. The brothers descend into a vicious fight, and
it is left to Jessica and her animal familiar to break it up. This is only one
of many fights that occur, and not just between vampires and werewolves.
The wrath of a jealous werewolf becomes most apparent as we progress
through Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel) and into my current work in
progress, Eye of the Tiger (A Redcliffe Novel). It turns out that the
female of the species really is the deadliest. Jessica becomes further involved
with Danny and his wolf pack, to the detriment of his subordinates. They do not
welcome a witch among them. They believe that she is dangerous, unpredictable,
and that she is leading their alpha astray with her magical wiles. Among the
meek wolves, there emerge one or two that are prepared to fight for power. One
is a female who fancies herself as the alpha’s mate, a position that has so far
remained unfilled. And she is a force to be reckoned with…

I think jealousy is a great emotion to work with as a writer. It can be caused by and be the cause of so many different issues and potential story lines.
