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.
Jaxon beams so brightly I swear it could light the whole room. Footsteps sound on the stairs, and I look up to see Callen. His hair is damp from a shower, and he looks a little paler than usual. He gives us a lazy smile, dropping into the chair on Poppy’s other side. “Smells good…
“Go spend time with your sister,” he insists. I give in, knowing I won’t win against the two of them. Five minutes later, I’m sitting on the back porch with a fresh cup of coffee in my hands and my sister at my side. I watch her as she takes in the view. It’s stunning…
I nod slowly, gripping Parker’s hand tighter while Ryder keeps his warm palm over mine. “Yes,” I whisper. “Please. I need her safe. At least until we can figure something out for her.” I replay the scene from earlier. Seeing my sister handle the situation so professionally filled me with pride. After her initial hesitation,…
“Gunshot wound,” Callen says quickly, and she sucks in a breath before moving closer. She drops to her knees beside us, her hands hovering over Leo’s body, scanning quickly.” Keep the pressure, that’s good. Okay, we need more towels, a clean cloth to absorb the blood, and something to keep him warm. Move fast but…
Poppy’s eyes snap to mine. “Claiming me? What the hell does that mean?!” Her words echo off the kitchen walls, loud enough to make me flinch. I glance at Callen, silently begging him to take this one, and he gives me a small nod. His voice is calm. “It means he thinks you’re his mate.…
Ryder’s eyes scan the room, landing on me first before dropping to Leo’s unconscious form on the floor. His jaw tightens. “We need to move. It’s not safe here anymore.” Remy’s gaze lingers on Poppy, who’s curled in against the counter like she’s still trying to disappear into it. She flinches under the weight of…
Parker dips his head, then pushes the door open and carries Jaxon up the stairs with careful, even steps. I follow him in with Ryder at my back, and when the door clicks shut behind us, I let out a breath that I feel like I’ve been holding for hours. I stand there for a…
I press my back to the wall, heart hammering in my chest, and creep toward the stairs. Every step is silent and careful, my senses screaming at me. The house is quiet except for Paige’s shaky breathing, Poppy whispering prayers, and Jaxon’s quiet questions. I pause at the bottom of the stairs, hand on the…
Jax giggles, thinking it’s a game, but my heart slams against my ribs. Ryder’s voice is urgent in the mind-link as he opens the door. He says one single word that makes my blood run cold. “Hunters.” Then everything explodes into chaos. ** Callen’s POV ** Dinner is going well, although my attempts to do…
Callen raises his brows. “I don’t lose my balance.” “You did just now.” I force a laugh, even as my hands shake. Ryder doesn’t look convinced. Neither does Remy. Parker clears his throat. “She’s right. It’s her first time training, so everyone’s adrenaline is high. It could have been anything.” Ryder’s jaw flexes, like he…
