Welcome to Hunky Alpha Wednesday with Cecilia Dominic with her Hunky Alpha Gabriel McCord.
(Gabriel McCord says) : Hello, Ms. Ganiere. Thank you for having me here today. It’s lovely to meet you.
What is your favorite drink?
As a Scot, I should say Scotch, but the flavors range so widely I can’t really say I like all of them. Some of them are much too peaty for my palate. So, I’ll say a good beer that’s not too hoppy or too heavy. Plus, there’s no reason to drink a lot of something that will leave your senses dulled.
Favorite Food?
Red meat, rare. It satisfies both my wolf and human sides. But I do like it to be well-seasoned. There’s no reason to be uncivilized.
Best Date?
After my recent adventures, I should say I’m all for any date that ends with a good game of strip poker and/or with me not being slipped something in my drink by a waiter on the take. I do appreciate any situation where the young lady and I feel like we can talk freely and just be ourselves. That sounds like a horrible cliché, I know, but I do appreciate times when I don’t feel like whatever I say will be used against me later. That’s my experience with the Lycanthrope Council talking.
Worst Date?
See above. I hate playing games. If I’m dating, I want to enjoy myself, not try to figure out the other person’s strategy.
What do you notice first in a woman?
Some women – people, really – don’t take charge of their fate. They just allow life to carry them along and complain when it doesn’t go well. I tend to be attracted to those who are drivers rather than mere participants. Even if a woman’s direction isn’t the right one, it’s still a direction. Perhaps the term is self-motivation or drive? I’ll have to ask a certain lovely psychologist – who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to pursue it – what she would call it.
What is your biggest pet peeve with women?
When they keep unnecessary secrets, especially if it prevents me from helping them.
Use three words to describe yourself.
Loyal – ach, never mind, that makes me sound like someone’s puppy dog.
Persistent – particularly when it comes to solving a problem
Incisive – especially when it comes to politics, don’t try to talk around something or cloud the issue. I won’t believe you.
If you could meet anyone who would it be?
Winston Churchill – he was Prime Minister when my father was killed, and I was angry at him, albeit unfairly. I wouldn’t mind the chance to apologize to him but also to see what those difficult times meant for him.
What is one secret that you don’t want people to know about you?
When I was younger, I allowed fear to drive me. Now that I’m older, some of those decisions follow me. Acceptance doesn’t come easily for me.
Book blurb:
Encountering werewolves can be deadly. Trying to cure them? Murder.
The Lycanthropy Files, Book 3
As the Investigator for the Lycanthrope Council, Gabriel McCord encountered his share of sticky situations in order to keep werewolf kind under the radar of discovery. Now, as the Council’s liaison to the Institute for Lycanthropic Reversal, he advocates for those who were turned werewolf against their will.
Everyone seems to be on board with the Institute’s controversial experimental process— until one of its geneticists is found lying on his desk in a pool of blood. Gabriel races to single out a killer from a long list of suspects. Purists, who believe lycanthropy is a gift that shouldn’t be returned. Young Bloods, who want the cure for born lycanthropes as well as made. The Institute’s own very attractive psychologist, whose most precious possession has fallen into the hands of an ancient secret society bent on the destruction of werewolves.
Failure means he’ll lose his place on the Council and endanger the tenuous truce between wizard and lycanthrope. Even if he wins, he could lose his heart to a woman with deadly secrets of her own.
Warning: Some bloody scenes, adult language, and consensual sex between adults. Also alcohol consumption at Scottish levels and tempting portrayals of unhealthy Scottish food.
