“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

“Come on, Lee. All that work made me hungry, time for some actual food before your stomach eats itself.”


I scoff, shaking my almost empty can and shrugging, just happy that Alec’s mood has turned and he’s not hypervigilant anymore. As much as I understand why he’s worried, I was hoping this festival would be a way to get him to relax and forget the insanity of our current situation, and it seems he’s finally unwound enough to enjoy himself. 


“Fine, I guess food does sound pretty good. It’s already two and we didn't have lunch, I know you need food with your crazy metabolism.”


Alec takes my hand and guides me down the winding paths of the festival, the mountain foliage a beautiful backdrop to the lively Bavarian music that’s been present in the background since we got here. We finally make it to a long line and the aroma of foods I’ve never had before, my eyes peering at Alec through the corner of my eye to see his excited expression.
