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 Seventy-nine — The Weight
Damian's POVThe dart hit Marcus's wolf and dropped him in under three seconds. Clean shot. Whatever compound was in that thing, it was designed to incapacitate, and I filed that away even as I was already moving, the half-shift propelling me across the clearing faster than human legs could manage.Then the shift detonated, and everything else became secondary.I felt it through the bond before I saw it. It was a pressure so immense it nearly drove me to my knees right there. The gathered centuries of Ashmoon legacy, held in, releasing into Ava's bloodline with the force of a dam breaking. The golden wolf surfaced in seconds. Not the gradual transformation of the full moon. Not the controlled shift she'd managed during the seed removal. This was violent and absolute, every bone and sinew remaking itself at once.The wolf that rose from the frost was not frightened. She was not unstable. She was ancient. That was the only word that fit. The golden fur caught the starlight, and what loo
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT — Ground and Blood
Ava's POVIt did not want them here. And it was about to make that known.The ground moved.Not like an earthquake. Not like the clearing during the ceremony, when the mountain had answered with that deep, resonant surge. This was different. Older. The way stone moves when it's been sitting in one place for millennia and has finally decided to notice you like certainty. The immovability of something that had been making decisions before any of us drew breath.Selene felt it. I watched the calculation in her eyes stutter just for a heartbeat, just long enough to see the crack. Not fear. Something closer to the realization that the ground she'd been so certain she could use was not, in fact, neutral.Adrian felt it too. He stumbled back half a step before he could stop himself, then stared at his feet like the frost had betrayed him.Vincenzo felt nothing.That told me everything. No wolf blood. No connection to the territory or the pack frequencies or any of the layers the site was ope
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR — Desperate
Ava's POVI stayed in the frost in ruined training clothes as I watched four sparrows on the wall while Damian stepped away to make the call.His voice carried across the garden, low and even. The cadence of someone receiving, not delivering.I didn't try to listen but I knew Marcus was the one giv
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter sixty three— The Window
Ava’s POVIt happened just after noon.It wasn’t because noon mattered. It was because the thing inside the bond decided it was time to wake up.I was halfway through another training sequence with Sera when something shifted low in my chest. It was small at first, like a sleeper turning over benea
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Sixty one— Redirected
Damian's POVMarcus picked up on the second ring, he didn't say hello. That was his way. Listen first then decide what to give you after, I on the other hand wasn’t one for complementries either. "Tell me you felt it." There was no need for me to beat aroumd the bush."Ah, who wouldn’t? Of course
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
