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.
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,…
Outside, Ryder gestures to a wooden bench under the shop window, and I take a seat. “You didn’t have to buy him anything.” I say softly as he sits beside me. He shrugs. “I wanted to. I’ve missed so much. If I can be here now, even in small ways… I will.” w rover. I…
“Callen!” Remy roars into the mind link and his fear breaks my heart. A twig snaps to my left.. I twist instinctively, a growl rising in my throat despite the poison crawling through my blood. Three men step out from the undergrowth like ghosts. They’re dressed in that sh*tty camo gear that looks. like leaves.…

The thought slams into me with terrifying clarity. Oh, hell… I want both of them. My breath comes faster now, lips parted as I back away from the window. Forcing myself to turn away with my heart racing. This changes everything. Not just what I know about them, because I already kind of knew there…
Why is fate doing this to me right now? Callen stops short when he sees me. His eyes go from my face to the bag in my hand, to Jaxon bouncing beside me, and then finally to Ryder, who stands close behind me. His jaw tightens. Barely, but I see it. “Going somewhere?” he asks,…
Or maybe this is just another game to him? Pushing me until I react, and then he can play the victim and make me the bad guy. Make me question myself and drown in guilt, only to smirk when he sees how much I hate myself. That was a classic trick Greg used often. I…
