A free short story, 0.6 in the Psy-Changeling paranormal romance series, that revolves around the emotionless Psy, two strong Changeling packs: DarkRiver leopards and the SnowDancer wolves, and, the humans who are tired of being pushed around.

If you’re interested, there is a chronological listing of the Psy-Changeling books on my website.

My Take

This peek-in at Nathan and Tamsyn is so sweet and the fear of parents-to-be around the world, that of having children.

Singh uses third person protagonist point-of-view from Tamsyn’s perspective as she recounts Nathan’s issues from the past and the inciting incident is that cute Ry’s feeding attempt in the garden, lol. So typical of a kid, lol.

The Story

Tamsyn has been patient, waiting for Nate’s fears to ease. Luckily, Tammy has all the cubs in the pack to mother and love.

The Characters

The protective Nathan Ryder is a senior sentinel with DarkRiver, and he’s been mated to Tamsyn, the pack healer, for fourteen years (Enchanted Season: “A Beat of Temptation”, 0.5; also in Wild Invitation). The twins, Julian and Roman, are the cubs to come.

Bryan, a.k.a. Ry, has a thing for worms. Zach is his uncle. Shayla had been Lucas’ mom. Lucas is now the alpha of DarkRiver.

The Title

The title refers to all “Seedlings”, the metaphor referring to the garden…as well as children.
