“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

“You’re allowed to grieve the loss of your brother, Alec,” I say quietly, a hand around his waist as we stand over an unmarked grave behind the old Halloran Pack home. 


“It feels…wrong, grieving someone who did such terrible things to so many people while he was alive. It makes me look at everything I’ve done…”


“Do not do that to yourself, Alec,” Frank says, pulling a hand on Alec’s shoulder, “Your deeds were done for survival, his were from greed. Do not compare them.”


“He is right, mijo. Let yourself miss your brother for the man he was before he became a monster,” Stella adds, coming around Alec’s other side and pulling him into a side hug, still trying to give him space and time. 


We all stand quietly for a few long minutes, looking down at the raised earth and the single wolfsbane flower that sits atop it, a reminder.
