Shadow of the wolf

It's a much needed away from anything related to work weekend read. The normal this and that of an average wolf novel. Author is Dana Marie Bell. Just this one, the love story is between a shapeshifter wolf wizard, handsome Christopher Becket and an attractive dark haired feisty witch named Alannah. The bad guy in this one is a warlord wolf madly angry at the hero among others for "doing" his girlfriend, Colw Godwin. At least from this reading I would now remember the meanings for didactic..speech of moral bla bla bla, altruistic ...deed of welfare and one word I've never heard of before, scrying....the act of reading of an event from something like a magical crystal ball.
