“What brings you to Driftwood Cove?”

Alec’s face goes cold for a moment, barely noticeable if I hadn’t been looking directly at him. “I’m a nomad of sorts. Been traveling for a few years. Finally made it back to the coast.” It’s vague, and I narrow my eyes.

“Nomad? Meaning you’ve been wandering around the wilderness for years with no money or job?”

Alec laughs, “Hah, no. More like a lone wolf, traveling the world searching for a new life.” His eyes catch mine, searching for something. “A new family.”
*****
In the seaside town of Driftwood Cove, a witch named Leena dutifully looks after her family’s florist shop until a mysterious, rogue Alpha named Alec drifts in. Leena expects a steamy one-night stand. But, Alec’s dark past resurfaces and threatens their relationship. Will Leena overcome the threat, or will Alec’s flippancy towards life be more than Leena bargained for?

The Witch's Unconventional Alpha

Alec, as usual in the colder weather, is up before sunrise, out in the woods running before I’m even opening my eyes. But he’s always back before I’m fully up, and the fact that I’ve been awake for over an hour and there’s no sign of Alec has me worried. Victor is still out there, and Alec still limps on his bad leg when the weather is bad. It worries me because I should be out there with him, making sure he’s alright, not worrying about a smoldering fire, hoping he shows up.


He does, after long minutes of waiting, with a complex look on his face. One I haven’t seen in the almost five months we’ve been traveling together. 


I go to him, meeting him halfway to our makeshift camp, and he pulls me into a jarring embrace like it’s the last he’ll ever give me. I know something is wrong.
