I still can’t get over how my quick grocery run either Leo turned into a meet and greet Nora Blackwood. She's one of the few person I had hoped to never meet but I know that's nearly impossible because Moonridge is a small town.

But already the universe could've given me a break. I haven't been here for up to 24 hours yet and that wasn't how I wanted Leo to meet his Aunt. Nora was as shocked as I am when we met and one look at Leo, she couldn't hide the fact that Leo has an uncanny resemblance to his father. She once again told me, her family stance with me has not changed, they wanted nothing to do with me or my son.

Leo’s voice brought me out of my deep thoughts “Mom, are you gonna tell me who that woman was?” “Not right now, baby.” It was all I could do to keep my emotions in check. Thankfully, he dropped it and slipped into a silent anger that I couldn't even acknowledge because mine is also stewing not at him but at the current situation of things. Once I parked the car in the ga

    While we’re on the subject of family,” I said, steering the conversation back to what we were really here for, “I spoke to Holden earlier. That’s why I called you two to come up here.” Nora's shoulders sagged, and her smile faded quickly at the mention of our brother. The news of Holden's existence had hurt her the most. She’d been angry at Dad for cheating on Mom, but she was also pissed that the young boy had been left out to dry. I felt a bit of shame at the fact I’d cared more about my father’s actions than about the results. I’d attempted to befriend Holden, but Nora had always tried harder. Mom had taken the news like a bowling ball to the head. In the years after, I’d learned that she suspected Dad had been running around on her, but the visible and physical truth of it was too much. It had confirmed all her worries, sending her swiftly into a pit of despair that had eventually killed her.

    Once we arrived at the alpha house, I told Leo to go explore. His eyes went wide at the size of the place, just like it had when I brought him here the other day. I’d grown up there, so for me, it was only a house, but I supposed it was impressive. The place was more or less a mansion. My great-great-grandfather had built it when he founded the pack, and the two generations after him had added to it. Finally, my father had renovated the place when I was really little. “You’ve got the run of the place,” I told him. “Go check it all out. You might like the game room down in the basement.” “Game room?” Leo asked, eyes widening. “Yup. Pool table, dart board, ping-pong. Even a pinball machine and a couple old-school arcade games. I talked my parents into those when I was a kid.” “Sweet,” he said, bounding off. Emery tugged at my sleeve. “Are you gonna tell me why you’re getting rid of Leo? What are you gonna tell me?” With a sigh, I led her into the den. Once we were seated, I said, “I’ve

    A massive black eye and a split lip marred Holden's handsome face. Both wounds looked fresh. A deep growl rumbled from my chest, heavy and threatening. “Who did that to you?” I snarled. Don’t worry about this,” Holden said, waving at his face. “Can we talk outside?” I didn’t need Holden to tell me who did that to him. I had no doubt in my mind. That fucker Alan. I could still see the irritated look on his face when he’d put it together that my half-brother had told me about the debt. “Outside,” I said, and stood. I looked at Emery and Leo. “Stay here. This shouldn’t take long.” “Okay,” Emery said, but she and Leo both looked worried as I followed Holden out to the parking lot.Once outside, I allowed some of my anger to burst out—a pressure release of sorts. “Where is the motherfucker?” I hissed. “Tell me where he is

    Jaxon tried swiping his card, but I pushed his hand aside. “No way,” I said. “You drove. God knows how much gas that giant thing you drive guzzles.” Jaxon glanced behind me. “Looks like our boy may need his own wheels in a couple years. He’s gonna have his pick of the girls for dates.” My neck actually cracked, I turned so fast. Jaxon was right. Leo was checking out a rack of specialty shoelaces, but a small group of girls stood outside the store, whispering, giggling, and pointing at him. He took after his dad, so I knew my son was very handsome, but this? Girls ogling my baby? Not only that, he was just fourteen, and most of these girls looked at least sixteen. It raised my hackles, and I wanted to chase them off. “This is all happening so fast,” I said as the cashier handed me the bag of shoes. “I can barely handle it. It’s like one minute, I had my baby boy, and then a few mornings later, I’ve got a full-grown man who has girls drooling over him.” Jaxon chuckled. “I remember you

    My alarm blared early the next morning, rousing me from a deep sleep. The early alarm was necessary. I was way behind on work and needed to send in a video before my ten o’clock deadline. The sun wasn’t even up when I rolled from bed and shuffled down the hall to make coffee. Soft snores came from Leo's room as I returned to mine with a steaming cup in my hand. After finishing up the video, I sent it to my client along with an invoice.By the time that was all done, it was nearly nine in the morning. My phone buzzed, and I glanced at the screen. My eyes widened in surprise. Drake Colson, an old friend from where we’d lived before returning to Moonridge. He was the alpha shifter of a nearby pack who had worked as sort of a surrogate for Leo as he grew up, even though it hadn’t really taken—not the way we’d all wanted it to, anyway. He was also a realtor, and I’d tasked him with selling my old home. “Drake?” I answered. “It’s early. Is everything okay?” “Hey, Emery. Sorry. I have a lot

    I found him on the couch, watching some superhero movie. For me, all the colorful suits blended together, and I couldn’t keep them straight. If it wasn’t Superman, Batman, or Spiderman, I had no clue who was on screen. “You want me to order pizza for dinner?” I asked. “I know it’s a little early, but —” “Yeah!” I chuckled. “Okay. I’ll take care of it.” As we waited for the pizza to arrive, I sat next to Leo and tried to make heads or tails out of the movie. Apparently, a snake-faced bad guy was trying to, from what I could tell, end the world with some kind of microscopic nanorobots. And the hero, for some reason, could only save the world with a weirdly named metal only found on the moon. It was mind-numbing to try to follow, but Leo was engrossed, so I didn’t interrupt with questions. Instead, I zoned out, trying to make up my mind about Jaxon, and what it would mean for our lives.Dinner arrived forty-five minutes later, and we ate at the kitchen bar. Without the movie to focus on,
