The Quiet Alpha and His Fox by Aria Grace

Waylan, a lone alpha coyote, is afflicted with something 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 but when he was twenty, he needed to go off on his own to find space. Rather than allow him to go feral, Esteban asked him to run one of their small farms and grow pawflower, a restricted substance within shifter communities. That 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. He’s been on his own, just trying to survive. 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. 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.
