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 SIX — The Woman in the Mirror
Ava's POVThree days into living at the manor and I had developed a system.Wake up before seven, beat Damian to the kitchen, pour my coffee, and position myself at the far end of the counter with my phone before he came downstairs. That way we could exist in the same space without the particular a
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER FIVE — Rules of the Game
Ava's POVI woke up at six forty-five to the sound of silence.Not the comfortable kind either. The kind that sits on your chest and reminds you that everything familiar is gone. No leaky faucet dripping in the bathroom wall, no Mrs. Kowalski upstairs dragging furniture across her floor at ungodly
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER FOUR — The Devil's House
Ava's POVThe contract sat on my kitchen counter for six hours before I opened it.I made tea I didn't drink, reorganized my bookshelf twice, and stared at my ceiling long enough to memorize every crack in the plaster. My apartment was small, the kind of small that felt cozy when I was happy and s
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Three -Temporary marriage with the billionaire.
Ava's POV I stared at the text message until the letters became less clearer. ‘We need to talk, now. - DH’ "Ava." Jamie was still holding her phone like it might explode. "You need to tell me what's going on, right now." How could I? I was just as lost as she was. "I don't know." My vo
