The room was utterly silent as she spoke, every staff member listening intently. “Averne has always been recognized for its Christmas celebrations,” Rina continued, her tone filled with pride.

“The atmosphere, the organization, and the hospitality always boost our economy every year, and that’s why we have always aimed to beat our records. The opening sets the tone for the entire season, and failure is not an option.”

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    The truth

    Rina December 15, 2025The first thing I felt was the throbbing. It was a rhythmic, agonizing pulse that seemed to beat in time with my heart, radiating from my shoulder where Leon had bitten down to my very fingertips.I woke up with a strangled gasp, my lips quivering as the cold air of the room hit my skin. I tried to move, but a sharp, white-hot bolt of pain shot against the rough mattress. My breath came in shallow hitches, and I could taste the metallic tang of dried blood on my tongue.I didn’t know where I was, neither did I care, and slowly I turned my head to look at my shoulder. It was wrapped in thick, white bandages, but the red stain seeping through the gauze told the story of the damage Leon’s wolf had done. His teeth had sunk deep, like he wanted me paralyzed or dead.I closed my eyes as a single tear slid down my temple. I didn’t want to do any of this. I was supposed to be the Royal Female Beta who was to be a protector, a shield for the Royal Family; instead, I h

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    Forgiveness

    AuroraThe room was painfully quiet except from the soft snores of Noel against my chest. I never imagined that Clara would get on her knees and beg for my forgiveness. It was something I had never seen coming.This was the girl who had always been so poised, so sharp-tongued, and now she was reduced to a trembling heap on the floor.I clenched my fists and heaved a deep sigh. It was so easy for her to get on her knees and beg for forgiveness when all along she had been poking me, throwing shades at my son and me.Does she think it was that easy to forgive and forget?I tried to speak to tell her to shut up but I couldn’t; instead, I just watched her and didn’t stop her when she continued speaking.“I should have reached out to you,” Clara choked out, her voice muffled by the floor. “I even tried to call you... so many times. Everyday after that night, I’d pull up your number and just stare at it until the screen went dark because my pride got the best of me,” she raised her head and

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    The Real Enemy

    Aurora“Turn on the news right away!” the Queen commanded, her voice trembling with an emotion I couldn’t quite place. “Turn on the television. Now.”Sasha didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the remote from the bedside table and flicked the screen to life. It was a breaking news report, which meant it was happening live, and the image on the screen was a nightmare.A highway bypass not far from the hospital was littered with the wreckage of a royal ambulance. The vehicle was overturned, its back doors torn off their hinges, and surrounding it were the bodies of the royal guards who had been accompanying him.“An unprecedented ambush just moments ago,” the reporter’s voice was frantic, barely audible over the wailing sirens in the background. “The ambulance transporting the injured Royal Beta, Tristan, has been intercepted. Initial reports indicate all guards on board were killed instantly, but Beta Tristan is missing. Authorities believe he has been kidnapped by the Black Spots…”“Kidnapp

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    She is not the Enemy

    AuroraI was halfway to the door, my heart already racing toward Clara’s room, when the heavy sound of a baby’s wailing echoed down the hallway.I stopped in my tracks as Miss Hart rounded the corner, looking frazzled and exhausted. In her arms, Noel was wailing loudly, his tiny fists bunching as he let out a heartbroken sob that seemed too large for his small body.“I am so sorry, Your Highness,” Miss Hart panted, looking toward the Queen. “He wouldn’t stop crying in the lobby. I’ve tried everything—I rocked him, fed him—but he’s been inconsolable for the last hour.”As soon as she reached me, I reached out. The moment I took him into my arms, the change was instant. The piercing cries died down into a small, shuddering hiccup. Noel pressed his face against my chest, his hands grabbing onto my shirt as he let out a long, shaky sigh.Silence fell over the room.“Well,” Queen Seraphina said softly, a sad but knowing smile touching her lips. “I think he just wanted his mother. Or maybe

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    No one is safe

    AuroraDecember 14, 2025I just stared blankly at him, listening to the rhythmic, haunting beep... beep... beep of the heart monitor and the heavy silence of Leon's room. I sat in a hard plastic chair, my hands resting in my lap. They were scrubbed clean of the soot and blood, but I still remembered the sight of the silver dagger buried in Leon's arm as he lay unconscious on the ground when I had found him. My own leg was still in a cast, but I didn't feel the pain in my bone anymore. I only felt the hollow ache in my chest as I stared at Leon's still body. Under the heavy white blankets, he looked so small—nothing like the prince who had carried me through a dark tunnel, and certainly not like the wolf who had lunged to protect me."The surgery was successful," Queen Seraphina whispered, her voice cracking for the first time since I'd known her.I wondered what she was feeling as she stood at the foot of the bed. Did she also think Leon wasn't going to make it, just like I did?"

  • My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas    Rina 2

    Leon“Rina?” I repeated, the name tasting foreign in my mouth. It was the last name I expected Aurora to say. I searched her face for any sign that this was just shock from the explosion. “Are you sure? Aurora, there is no way Rina would ever do something like that.”Aurora didn’t blink. Her gaze was locked on mine. “Are you sure about what you are saying, Leon? Truly sure?”I nodded immediately. “Rina had been part of our family for years. We’ve known her since we were kids. Her family has been loyal to the Crown for generations. Her parents were even victims of the Black Spots years ago, Aurora. They lost everything to the same people we are fighting. Why would she ever align herself with them?”It didn't make sense. Rina was the backbone of our social circle. To think she was the hand behind the chaos felt like realizing the floor beneath me was a trapdoor.“Leon, listen to me,” she leaned closer, seeking support. “Think about the ice. The skating shoes she gave me—why those speci
