The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Eighty three — Finding the door
Ava's POVLuca found me at dawn. I hadn't moved from the garden. The frost had gotten into everything; my clothes, my hands, the wolf bone wound on my arm that had finally begun its slow, painful healing sometime in the early hours when Selene's compound finished its work and my body started catching up. I was aware of all of it, and none of it was the thing I was thinking about.He came across the frozen grass without speaking, his boots leaving dark prints in the frost. He crouched beside me. Luca had an expression for threats, an expression for protocol, an expression for when things went according to plan. He didn't have an expression for this. He was making one up in real time."Ava..." he began."I know."He was quiet for a moment, looking at Damian. "Theo is with Jamie," Luca said. "Elena is inside. Sera has the perimeter." He paused. "Nobody came outside until now.""Because you told them not to.""Yes.""Thank you."He looked at the sparrows for a long moment. Then back at me
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Eighty two— The Last music
Ava’s POVThe manor glowed warm behind us, its windows spilling amber light across the frozen grass. Jamie was in there. Elena. Theo. The ordinary things the evening had interrupted would resume in the morning, but the garden was where we were, and the garden was where we stayed because the garden knew us and we knew it. It had held us through the first shift and the rogues and the territorial claim. It could hold this too.Damian sat down in the frost before his legs could ask permission.I caught his arm and went down with him, which prevented us from falling together. The frozen grass crunching beneath us, cold seeping through my ruined clothes immediately. Neither of us cared. The cold was honest and real but I could work with real.I sat beside him, our shoulders touching, and the bond between us the most present thing. Still warm. Still steady on the surface. But carrying underneath it the specific damage Elena had described; the anchor function degraded, the cellular-level woun
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Eighty-one — The Drive Home
Damian's POVI knew before we reached the main road. Not from the wolf bone wound I could feel Ava fighting to stabilize. From my own body, telling me things in the way bodies tell you when you've been asking them to carry more than is sustainable for long enough that the asking has run out its tolerance.The dart compound hadn't been suppression compound. Leo had identified it through a network contact, a wolf-specific toxin targeting bond coherence at the cellular level, developed by a researcher Vincenzo had been funding for over a decade. It didn't sever the bond. It degraded the anchor function. Slowly. Specifically. At the precise physical location where the mate bond anchored in the body.The same location Selene had aimed the wolf bone knife at.Two separate approaches to the same objective. Neither had fully succeeded in isolation. Together, they'd produced something that was currently making its presence known in my chest with the persistence of a thing that wasn't going to

The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Eighty— The Last Move
Ava’s POVThe clearing had gone quiet, but not the kind of quiet that meant peace. It was the held-breath silence of something almost finished, hovering on the edge of resolution and still dangerous.Selene lay pinned to the frost by the ground itself, her dark wolf form motionless, silver eyes fixed on the stars above the old-growth trees. She hadn't moved since the clarification settled. I didn't know if she couldn't or wouldn't. Maybe both. Vincenzo still sat where I'd left him, the discharged dart gleaming beside him, his expensive coat soaking through, his expression carrying the particular emptiness of a man who'd just discovered that everything he'd built had been built on sand. Adrian stood at the treeline with Luca's hand still clamped on his arm. He hadn't spoken since that moment he'd looked at Damian and then looked away… the most honest thing I'd ever seen him do, and probably the most honest thing he'd ever done.The elder council ringed the clearing like ancient stones.
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT — Selene
Ava's POVShe came at midnight.She didn’t come from the direction any of us had expected. Not from the city side where the road wound up toward the mountain through the tree line. Selene entered the clearing from the north, the bayou side. The direction of her property, which meant she had not dr
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Forty-Eight – Lines in the Ground
Damian’s POVThe howls faded slowly. One pack after another, the echoes rolled across the mountain until the forest settled again. But the silence that followed wasn’t the same as before.Every wolf in the clearing felt it. Ava was still touching the altar and the stone had stopped pulsing violentl
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Forty-seven - The third pulse
Ava’s POVThe ground didn’t stop trembling after the altar answered. It settled, but not entirely as if something beneath the clearing had shifted and was deciding whether to wake up fully. My hand was still on the stone, and now it felt warm and… alive.Damian’s hand was wrapped around my wrist. F
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER Forty-five — What the Forest Heard
Ava’s POVThe silence didn’t last after Marcus Blackwind spoke. It tightened as if the forest itself was holding its breath, waiting to see who would move first.No one did at first. But I could feel the pressure shifting through the clearing in invisible layers. The kind of tension that didn’t nee
