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 is my anchor. He’s my why. Parker steps back inside, his footsteps quiet. “Morning, little man.” Jaxon lifts his head with a sleepy grin and turns to face him. “Hi, Parker.” “Are you hungry?” Jaxon nods enthusiastically, and Parker gives me a nod before he heads toward the kitchen, pulling out a pan. I…
Jaxon climbs off the chair and wraps his arms around my legs. “Are you leaving me, Mummy?” My chest tightens as I kneel to his level. “Just for a little while, sweetheart. Your dad’s going to take me to check on Uncle Cal.” “Can I come?” “Not this time, baby. He needs lots of rest,…
I crash to the floor with a grunt, my hands slamming down to keep from face planting as every nerve in my body screams and my wolf goes wild, fighting for control. Parker is up in a flash. “Remy, sh*t, what’s happened? Is Callen…” But I’m not looking at him. I can’t look at anything…
“Sh*t,” I growl, stepping back. “Ryder Paige says, sounding confused as she reaches for me again. I cup her face and force her to look me in the eye. “Inside. Now.” She freezes “What’s happening?” “It’s Callen. He’s been ambushed. It’s hunters, Paige.” I press my forehead to hers. “Lock the doors. Don’t open them…
“Well, don’t! You know darnn well, Paige wouldn’t betray us.” My voice shakes. “She’s my mate. Your future Luna and Jaxon’s mother. She’s mine. She didn’t do this.” Remy swallows hard and nods once. He knows I won’t listen to his opinion on this a second longer. I won’t have him accuse my mate of…
“Probably I took a decent blow to the head,” he says with a grimace. “It’s healed now.” “Wow, you really heal that fast?” “Yes, as long as there’s no wolfsbane or silver involved,” he nods. “Ryder said Callen had been hit with wolfsbane Does that mean he’s not healing?” I ask, worry twisting in my…
“Remember, children, we need to stay quiet, so our enforcers can focus on the surrounding sounds. This is just practice, like we’ve done before, so don’t be scared,” Regina says, her tone so soft and calm that I almost believe her, too. “What’s an enforcer?” Jax asks. Ronnie crouches in front of him. “Hi, Jaxon.…
His brow furrows slightly, lips parting like he might speak, but nothing comes. Just a faint exhale, and then he goes still again. I lower my head to the edge of the bed, my forehead resting against the back of his hand, and breathe him in. He still smells like cedar and smoke. Like Callen.…
After a minute, I head back into the kitchen, trying to act normal, like I haven’t just been losing my mind in the bathroom. Ryder is crouched on the floor, helping Jaxon attach Lego pieces to his fortress, and Parker is on one of the kitchen chairs.. “I’m sorry,” I say. “For being weird.” “You’re…
I nod. “Thanks for checking in.” He hesitates, then leans forward and brushes his knuckles gently over my arm. “I meant what I said. You’re not alone in this.”. I swallow past the lump in my throat and give him a small smile. “I’m starting to believe that.” Parker gives me one last lingering look,…
