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.
He paused. “Stay sharp. We have no idea what we’re dealing with here. It could be an aftershock from her power, or something reacting to it. Don’t take any chances.” I crouched, pressing my palm flat against the earth. It was warm-too warm for this early hour-and that same pulse throbbed beneath my hand, as…
Her eyebrows knit together. “You sound serious.” “I am.” “When we found out I was something more than human, Ryder had someone look into our family tree, trying to find clues about what I… what we could be. He discovered that Mum and Dad used a fertility clinic,” I begin. That catches her attention immediately.…
Poppy fans herself dramatically. “She’d have organised an intervention. Probably tried to set you up with the neighbour’s son again… what was his name? Kevin?” “Oh gods, Kevin!” I wheeze, covering my face. “He used to carry his lunch in a briefcase!” “He wanted to be a banker!” Poppy insists through her laughter. “He was…
No one had the words to say. Not yet. We had witnessed strange things before-bursts of power, visions, even uncontrollable healing. But this? Paige had touched the creek and purified it. The water shimmered with a glow that seemed to blend sunlight and moonlight into one ethereal radiance. And when that light faded, the world…
Ronnie kept staring at the water long after the others had moved on, his jaw tight and eyes distant. Finally, he cleared his throat and straightened, dusting his hands. “I’ll take some samples,” he said. “We’ll run them through the lab and see if anything lingers.” No one questioned him, but I could feel their…
I try, but the room refuses to cooperate. The edges blur, light bending and twisting colors. My mates’ voices sound distant now, distorted as if underwater. Then, images flash behind my eyes. At first, it’s fragmented-silver trees, blood-soaked earth, and a shadow moving swiftly and purposefully. The vision flickers like an old film reel, too…
My stomach twisted with worry. “Is that safe?” “Safer than what was happening before,” Ronnie said. “Don’t move him. In fact, everyone touch her.” Without hesitation, I cupped her cheek with my hand. The air around us thickened, charged with energy. I could feel the faint hum beneath her skin returning, steadier now-not wild and…
Ronnie clapped a hand on Jake’s shoulder. “Good man.” I nodded my thanks, then looked down at Paige again. Jaxon was half-asleep, nestled against her side, his small fingers curled into the fabric of her shirt. Her breathing had deepened, each inhale syncing gently with his. I reached out and brushed a stray lock of…
I hesitate-not because I doubt Poppy, but because it suddenly hits me how focused I’ve been on the mission that I never stopped to think about who would stay with Jaxon. That used to be my first thought-his safety and comfort always came before my own. Now, something inside me feels different. I’m not sure…
His expression softens, a flicker of awe in his eyes. “That kind of empathy… I’ve never seen anything like it. Has it faded now that you can’t see them?” Before I can answer, I catch the sound of footsteps behind us-boots crunching against gravel. When I glance back, Callen and Remy are walking briskly toward…
