Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
After losing her parents, Paige vowed to survive for her son, Jaxon. But when her six-year-old is expelled for accidentally hurting a friend, her fragile world starts to crumble. As her husband grows distant and the town turns against them, Paige must uncover the truth behind Jaxon’s strange strength—and the secrets threatening to destroy their family.
Callen nods. “I mean, I have no physical proof, but everything makes sense. We already had her on our list of possible suspects; this just solidifies it for me.” Jake swears under his breath. “She’s not been turning up at the clinic recently and is ignoring me through the mind-link. I thought she was just…
There’s a quiet murmur of agreement. Everyone knows the drill. We’ve done this before, too many times to count. But this feels different. This isn’t about guarding the pack from what’s outside anymore. As they move around the room, setting up makeshift sleeping spots, I sink to the floor beside the couch. The exhaustion hits…
Jake clears his throat softly. “You saved them,” he says finally. “Both of them. Ryder and Remy were hit bad. You… healed them.” “Healed them?… How?” He hesitates. “We’re still figuring that part out.” I search his face, then Ryder’s, and I can tell there’s more they’re not saying. They’re doing that thing again, the…
Her words stung, and I fought the urge to snap back. It was clear she harbored some disdain for humans. But Paige wasn’t her Luna, and we weren’t her pack. We were guests here, and the last thing we needed was to cause friction-especially now, when Paige was so vulnerable. “Get rid of her,” Ryder…
Callen’s voice booms through the link. “Hunters closing in! We need to move!” “Let’s move!” I command. “Everyone who can fight, shift and cover the rear!” Remy hauls himself upright, blood still streaking his body. “I’ll take point.” “No,” I growl, glaring at him. “You barely survived last time. You need to recover.” “I’m recovered…
“Fine,” Remy growled. “But if anyone even looks at her wrong, I’ll rip their throat out.” “You’ll get no argument from me,” I said firmly. I meant it-I’d go to war with the entire world for her. The link went quiet for a moment. The only sounds were the rumble of the engines and Jaxon’s…
I drop to my knees, hands trembling as they press into the cold earth. Gold and silver light spills from my palms, flowing into the soil like molten fire. The air grows heavy, pressing down on my chest, and I scream-not in fear, but in pure, unfiltered fury. All the anger, sorrow, and helplessness I’ve…
I glance back at him, then to Paige. “She happened.” He drags himself closer, still weak. “She saved us.” “Yeah,” I say, my voice breaking. “But I don’t know what it cost her.” Suddenly, branches snap behind us, heavy footsteps pounding through the underbrush. I’m halfway to shifting when familiar voices slice through the tension.…
The pack answers with a chorus of howls, a storm of grief and rage, but all I can focus on is that first, desperate cry. The one that means something has gone horribly, irreversibly wrong. Jaxon sobs quietly against Callen’s shoulder, his tiny hand clutching his uncle’s shirt. His soft cries cut through the chaos…
The porch light casts a warm golden glow across the steps, glinting off the dew-covered grass. Everything looks peaceful, as though the world hasn’t just shifted beneath my feet. As if my mother isn’t suddenly a mystery and my bloodline not something out of legend. I wrap my arms around myself and take a deep…
