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.
He nods and stands to take it all in. “It’s looking good.” Parker’s voice floats into my head through the mind-link. “She’s in the bath now with a face mask on. She’s relaxed, Rye. So don’t rush, you’ve got plenty of time.” I let out a sigh of relief, closing my eyes to settle my…
My hand flies to my mouth. “Oh.” I can’t move. For a moment, I can’t even breathe. It’s beautiful, magical even. I haven’t been camping since I was a teen, nervous and giddy as I snuck away with Ryder to pitch a tent under the stars. That night ended with heartbreak I didn’t see coming,…
“I remember what happened the last time you offered to warm me up in a tent,” I tease. A faint, boyish smile tugs at his mouth. “I promise to do better this time.” He helps me up, steadying me when my legs shake with anticipation, then he leads me toward the tent. My breath catches…
“Remember, I won’t hurt you,” he says, and I see a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. I smile at him and nod. “I trust you.” Parker lets go of my hand and steps back to strip off his shirt and pants, his eyes never leaving mine as the shift ripples over him. Bones crack,…

I rise slowly, my legs trembling as the adrenaline fades, and the four of them shift closer like they’re afraid I might crumble, and maybe I would, if they weren’t here. “I don’t know if I can do this,” I whisper honestly. “They hate me for being human. They don’t want me as their Luna,…
The shots zoom closer, faces picked out from the crowd. At first, I don’t recognise them, but as I flick to the marked images, my stomach sinks and a growl rumbles in my chest. One man in the background, wearing a dark jacket, blends into the crowd, but his eyes are familiar. I’ve seen him…
I can’t deny I needed the rest, though. Even without him, I’d ended up curling into his sheets, deciding to spend the night in his bed, anyway. It felt good to have some space to myself. I hadn’t realised how much I needed it. As I drifted off, my mind wandered into dangerous territory… thoughts…
Jaxon bursts into a fit of giggles. “He wants to play!” Callen chuckles beside me. “Looks like someone’s already recovered from patrol.” I watch as my son scrambles up and chases after the wolf, who never gets too far ahead, slowing his pace so Jaxon can almost catch him before darting away again.
