Mag-log inShe died on Christmas Eve—betrayed, hunted, and sacrificed by the mate who promised her forever. But the Moon Goddess isn’t done with Mara Hartwell. Returned to the past with only days before her doomed wedding, Mara is given one impossible path to survival: Make the Alpha who refuses to celebrate Christmas fall in love with her. Alpha Aldrich Valtor is everything danger should look like—cold, feared, marked by a Christmas Eve tragedy that shattered him, and bound to secrets no one dares question. He doesn’t want a mate. He doesn’t believe in fate. And he certainly doesn’t celebrate Christmas. Yet when Mara crosses into his world—bleeding, desperate, and more alluring than she should be—something inside him answers. A contract becomes a lifeline. A stranger becomes a shield. And a forbidden pull neither understands begins to burn between them. But the past is never far behind. Enemies circle. Old debts rise. Shadows whisper of curses, rituals, and a truth that could ruin them both. As Christmas draws near, Mara must decide whether to trust the dangerous Alpha who could save her life… or break her heart worse than destiny ever did. Because this Christmas, survival isn’t guaranteed. Love might be the only thing powerful enough to rewrite fate—and it might also be the price.

Several Christmas decorations remained broken or hanging crookedly after the war and the giant Christmas tree standing at the center of the
Mara's POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the horrible throbbing inside my head because it felt like someone had split my skull open and stitched it back together wrongly. My entire body felt painfully heavy and for several seconds I could not even understand where I was or why everything smelled so strongly of herbs and medicine.I slowly blinked at the white ceiling above me while trying to move but the sharp pain that instantly shot through my body forced a weak gasp out of my lips.Then suddenly everything came rushing back. The courtyard, Silas, the dagger and Aldrich collapsing in front of me.My heart nearly stopped. Was he alive or dead? I tried sitting up immediately in panic and go look for my mate but before I could move properly, the door suddenly burst open.“Aldrich…” I whispered shakily the moment I saw him.The look on his face showed that he was terrified and relieved at the same time like he had been holding himself together by the thinnest threa
Author's POVThe courtyard had barely recovered from the war when another silence settled over the kingdom. Not the peaceful kind. The heavy kind that came after bloodshed, loss and the truths that should have remained buried forever.The Christmas lights still glowed around the destroyed courtyard. Bodies were being dragged away by the surviving warriors while healers rushed around attending to the wounded. Somewhere in the distance, children were crying while frightened pack members huddled together near the palace walls.And in the middle of all that destruction stood Aldrich Valtor. He was silent, still and broken. Silas' confession about his mother lingered heavily inside his mind like poison. Every single word. Every single detail.Your father stood there and watched while we forced poison down her throat.Aldrich felt sick.For years, he had hated Silas and had been curious on what his mother could have done to deserve such level of brutality from her own mate. Now he knew. Sh
