West Coast Coyotes #2
The Quiet Alpha and His Fox
Waylan, a lone alpha coyote, is afflicted with something that other shifters call ‘the quiet.’ Humans might call it depression, but with shifters, it mostly means he just wants peace and serenity. He grew up with the West Coast Coyotes under Esteban, when he was twenty, he needed to go off on his own to find space. Rather than force him to go feral, Estaban asked him to run one of their small farm. Growing paw flower, a restricted substance within shifter communities, allowed him to exercise his alpha muscle while living mostly in solitude. Mostly content.
Joe has been walking and living off the land since his senior year of high school. After escaping a bad childhood, he's been on his own since his dad threatened to sell him off. He travels light, with nothing more than an old phone that only works when he gets a few dollars to put minutes on it, usually from cashing in cans or washing windows for businesses. It’s amazing what a bucket and squeegee can earn you. When he stumbles upon a remote farm, he decides to make camp for the night and get some rest. Little does he know the alpha of the farm is about to teach him what it truly means to need a pack.
The Quiet Alpha and His Fox is the second book in the West Coast Coyotes series. If you like your shifters hot and sexy and sweet and loving, you won't be able to put these down. Every book brings you a relationship worth fighting for and at least one pup at the end to make you smile. Low angst. High heat. And adorable babies. What more could you ask for?

The alpha was hard to like and I kinda wanted the omega to leave him for a little bit so that he could get his head out of his ass 🤔
-It was already a little bit off putting when the Waylan kept thinking of Joe as looking like a teenager and ‘too young ‘ and ‘ too innocent’. Apparently Joe is 20 and Waylan is 25.
-They had a conversation about being mates and they had sex, immediately afterwards it got awkward and Waylan didn’t want Joe to sleep with him, he wanted space from Joe.
-The following days he was extra quiet and more moody towards Joe to show him how much of a loner and grump he was so that Joe would leave since he didn’t have the strength to tell Joe to leave himself?
-Then Joe goes into heat so Waylan goes into the little camper to have sex with him and he’s like “I love you “ which came from where??? But apparently after having sex this time Waylan has allowed Joe to move into the house and live with him.
-They work together and seem to be living in domestic bliss until Waylan’s alpha calls and is planning a visit. Or was it the foxes showing up to try to steal their shifter-weed that caused the boss to have to make a visit? Either way, Waylan didn’t want his alpha showing up because he didn’t wanna’ tell him about Joe.
-Joe starts to feel jealous of Waylan’s pack and they somehow come to the conversation that Waylan hasn’t marked Joe yet, hasn’t fully claimed him as his mate- so Joe wants it done, they do it.
-Waylan’s alpha is about to show up and Waylan briefly thinks about hiding Joe and then since there’s no real time to hide him he makes him wear something that’ll cover his mark. ?!?!? WHY!? 🤨
-At this point I think Waylan already knew Joe was preggo so what, he just planned to have a kid with someone he hadn’t marked / claimed ?? He doesn’t tell his alpha either 🤷🏻♀️
- Waylan decides to put his hand on Joe’s waist during the visit and say that he’s more than a farmhand and Waylan’s alpha notices the mark and welcomes him into the family. 🤷🏻♀️
In conclusion: Waylan has The Quiet which is like shifter-depression? But that’s not an excuse to be so wishy washy with your mate.
And Joe, pls stand up. 🤦🏻♀️

A shifter story - of the cute kind. Wyland is a cute coyote with The Quiet (which is just a pretty name for the romance-book version of depression and he's an alpha which mostly (thankfully) just means he tops. Joe is a cute fox... he just doesn't know it until he meets this sex stranger. They have a meet-cute of the haunted, romantic loners variety where they sit by the fire quietly then work quietly together. The timeline is pretty fast because it's little more than a novella and there is very little angst amid the quiet cuteness. Wyland does get "better" and he can manage his... illness? affliction? better but he also finds shifters who accept him for who he is... thankfully there was no magic recovery but it was close and this being romance, I accept that, even welcome it.
Not sure if I am interested in more but it was such a calm, cute, straightforward in its plot-progression story and in the right mood...
