Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Ten years after being exiled for betraying her family, **Seraphina** rushes to the hospital after learning her estranged father has been attacked. Her brother’s hatred reignites old wounds, blaming her for destroying their family. But when her dying father asks to see “his daughter,” Seraphina must face a devastating truth—and the past she’s tried to forget.
I tapped my fingers against my glass. “I respect her reality, not your illusion of her. Both women need very different things, and you can’t give them that or protect them by standing in the middle, Kieran. Your indecision will end up destroying both of them.” He didn’t answer right away. But I saw it…
The kind that rings louder than any scream. My pulse roared in my ears, adrenaline still coursing through my veins. The sting in my palm should have felt satisfying-justice for her vile threats-but it only left me feeling… empty. Each encounter with Celeste since her return had been worse than the last. A disturbing escalation…
Her lips twitched, and she held her hand out. “Let’s go.” “I smell,” I complained weakly. She wrinkled her nose like she’d just noticed. “You’re right. You do.” She wiggled her hand impatiently, and I finally took it, letting her pull me to my feet. We sat outside on the patio behind the OTS dorms.…
I staggered backward, stunned, taking in the room-confetti, balloons, streamers, an actual banner with my name on it. Some of the rookies were grinning like idiots, Lucian was holding a cake, and Maya appeared from behind me, throwing her arm around my shoulder. “Happy birthday, Sera.” She beamed at me. I blinked slowly, my heart…
I didn’t expect Daniel to shut me out so completely. Three calls ignored. Twelve texts left on read. Each unanswered attempt carved deeper into my chest. I felt the distance like a physical ache-it was cold, sharp, brutal. I’d always believed myself a good father-present, devoted, enough. But now, I wasn’t so sure. “He’ll never…
Her pout was practiced. “Oh, Kieran, he’s just a child-“ “He looked at me like I was a stranger.” Like I’d become one. She slid into my lap, fingers tracing my neck where the mating mark should be. I let my hands settle on her hips out of habit, but my skin prickled-wrong, wrong, this…
“You planning to actually train or just stand there with your head firmly shoved up the clouds?” The sharp voice sliced clean through my thoughts like a blade. Startled, I turned. A woman I didn’t recognize stood at the door I hadn’t even heard open, arms crossed over a lean, toned frame. She had skin…
She cocked her head. “That better not be an excuse.” I huffed a laugh, hopeful anticipation brewing inside. I understood now why Lucian had assigned Maya Cartridge to me. I could tell that she was exactly what I needed. I shook my head. “No excuses.” She nodded and extended a hand. I took it. Like…
“Well, for the past few days before he left school, he seemed more… withdrawn. Children are sensitive and are very attuned to their environment, and changes within that environment can affect them.” Once again, I asked myself if getting divorced was the right thing to do, especially for Daniel. The thought of my baby being…
I typed back: Thank you, Lucian. For everything you do. Outside, the stars twinkled. At that moment, I just wanted to let the peace claim me. However, the animal suddenly fiercely banging against my door did not get the memo. With an annoyed huff, I tied my robe, and when the towel wrapped around my…
