Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Seraphina spent her whole life believing Gabriel would save her from being the pack’s unwanted omega. Instead, on the night before her eighteenth birthday, she finds him in bed with her stepsister while her own family watches it all unfold like it was planned from the start. Sera realizes the people she trusted most were never really on her side.
I scooped him up into my arms, noting how light he felt -too light, like he hadn’t been eating enough lately. He immediately wrapped his small arms around my neck and buried his face against my shoulder, his little body shaking with exhaustion and relief. “It’s okay,” I murmured, one hand stroking his tangled curls…
“That’s better.” Valerie said with satisfaction, finally releasing her brutal grip on my hair. *Fight!* Ayla’s voice was sharp with desperation. *We can’t let them win! Not when Adrian needs us!* She turned to get the car, but paused at the doorway to deliver one final blow. “Oh, and Sera? When you’re lying under Harold…

Our cheap particleboard entertainment center had been kicked in, the television screen spider-webbed with cracks. “What the hell -“…
I could feel Anna’s eyes boring into me, could practically hear the gears turning in her head as she tried to figure out what game I was playing. After a long moment, she spun on her designer heels and stalked away, pulling out her phone as she disappeared into the break room. From my desk,…
The question caught me completely off guard. I studied his expression, trying to understand what he was really asking, why it seemed so important to him. “Every day,” I admitted honestly, my voice barely audible. “Not because I need rescuing or anything like that. Adrian deserves to know his father. He deserves to have someone…
“Is this your idea of professional conduct?” I managed to ask, though my breathless tone undermined any attempt at reproach. “Absolutely not,” he admitted with that devastating smile. “But I’ve discovered I don’t care about professional conduct when it comes to you.” He backed me against his desk, his hands roaming with increasingly bold familiarity.…
“More frequently lately,” Riley admitted grimly. “The rogue activity has been escalating for months. Usually it’s just probing attacks, testing our defenses. But this…” She gestured toward the wounded messenger who was now being treated by one of the facility’s medics. Before I could respond, the main doors burst open again. This time, it wasn’t…
The last of Ben’s wounds closed with a soft pulse of light, and the warrior took his first full, easy breath in hours. Relief flooded his features as he sat up completely under his own power, whole and healthy. “Thank you,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “I don’t know how you did it,…
“I was eighteen,” I began, my voice rougher than intended as memories I’d buried deep began clawing their way to the surface. “Old enough to think I understood pack politics.” Sera shifted carefully in the medical bed, making room for me to sit beside her.
