The Bodyguard and the Alpha by SJ Distel

The Bodyguard and the Alpha is Electra and Bastien’s story and is the second book in the Witch Twins duet. It concludes the storyline that began in Calypso and Luc’s story, The Bookseller and the Alpha.

Electra
The Summit was about to begin. I couldn’t afford to have a breakdown now. To reach the end of my tether working a job I’d never wanted, one that had been dictated by the nature of my magical powers. I had to concentrate on protecting Bastien Bowden, an Alpha Shifter and the youngest President of the Council. With my pre-cog ability, I was the last line of defence against a possible attack at the Summit. We were all on edge, knowing that the people who’d kidnapped my sister to get part of a magic-smothering spell were still out there.
It really wasn’t a good time to snap. To decide that I couldn’t do this anymore. Couldn’t keep working a job I hated. Couldn’t keep pretending I wasn’t hopelessly in love with my boss.
So, once the Summit was over, I was going to quit.
But when danger found us, his actions left me reeling. I wanted to believe, but I found it hard to see how our story could have a happy ending. Could he really want me as his mate?

Bastien
For five years, I’d bided my time, slowly courting my mate, while the Beast imprisoned inside me went mad.
But on the morning of the Summit, I could see that something was seriously wrong. And when I held my little Pixie in my arms, I felt her unhappiness. My mate was sad. I was her Alpha. It was my honour and my privilege to care for her. And I was failing. As soon as this Summit was over, I would make my intentions clear. She was mine.
First we had to survive the danger surrounding us. Then I would convince her that our bond was real. Because there was no other choice. She was my mate, and for her I would do anything. Break any vow.
If I didn’t die first.
