The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER FORTY — The People You Leave Behind
Ava's POVThe Hawthorne Capital building looked exactly the way I remembered it.Tall. Cold. Impossibly polished. Glass and steel rose toward the sky like the building itself had something to prove like it existed purely to remind people that power lived here. The lobby floors were marble, spotless enough that the overhead lights reflected perfectly in them. Expensive abstract art hung along the walls, pieces that probably cost more than my entire old apartment had cost for a year.Back then, I used to walk through places like this and feel like an intruder. Like I had somehow wandered into a world meant for other people. People of higher class.But now standing here beside Damian, I felt something very different. Damian tapped his key card against the private elevator panel without even glancing down. The movement was automatic, like someone who had done this so many times the building had become part of his routine. Scratch that…he does this everytime. The elevator doors slid op
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Thirty-nine - Pressure
Damian's POVFor several seconds after the rogues vanished into the forest, no one moved. The rain kept falling.It fell steadily across the field, soaking the grass, dripping from the tree line, turning the earth beneath our feet into slick mud. The storm didn’t care about what had just happened here. But every wolf in that clearing knew something had shifted.Ava stood where she had been standing when the power hit, her hand still slightly raised, her eyes returning slowly to their normal green from whatever they had been doing in the moment the rogue slammed into the ground. The grass around the impact point was still flattened. The earth still dented.Years ago, buried in old Ashmoon records that most people dismissed as myth or exaggerated history, there had been references to a rare ability among that bloodline. Territory dominance that went beyond physical strength. Power that manifested through blood rather than muscle.Force without contact. I had understood the theory when I
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Thirty-eight - After the Shock
Ava's POV For a long moment after the rogues disappeared into the forest, no one moved.The rain kept falling hard and cold. Relentless. It soaked through my clothes, clung to my hair, and ran down my arms in thin streams, but I barely noticed it. My heart was still racing from something. Something strange that was still buzzing faintly beneath my skin. The power, whatever it was… it hadn’t fully disappeared.I flexed my fingers slowly. Nothing happened this time.Good, ecause I had absolutely no idea how I had just slammed a fully grown rogue wolf into the ground without touching him.Behind me, the guards finally started moving again in low voices. A few of them glanced at me in a way they hadn’t before.Not just curiosity anymore but something closer to awe. Or fear, and neither one made me particularly comfortable.I turned toward Damian, he hadn’t moved from where he stood in the rain. His half-shift had faded, but the tension in his body hadn’t. His wolf was still right beneath
The Alpha's Christmas Sin CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN The Breach
Damian's POV My wolf woke me before the sound did. A deep, violent surge of instinct ripped me out of sleep. Like danger. Close and real.I was already halfway out of bed when the knock slammed against my door.“Damian!” Luca said urgently.I opened the door immediately. Luca stood in the hallway, already dressed, his expression sharp and alert.“What happened?” I asked.“Territory patrol just called.”My wolf growled low in my chest. “Who crossed?”Luca shook his head once. “Rogues.”That made my wolf go still.Rogues didn’t wander into established Alpha territory by accident. Not this deep.“How many?”“Three confirmed.”“Only three?”“From what the patrol saw.” Which meant there could easily be more.Lightning flashed outside the tall windows, illuminating the dark hallways of the house for a brief second. The storm from earlier hadn’t passed, it had only gotten worse.“Where are they?” I asked.“North boundary.” Too close. Far too close.“Wake the guards,” I said.“They’re alrea
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Thirty-six - Sparks Beneath the Skin
Ava's POVThe rain had not stopped since the night before. By morning the entire bayou looked different. I stood barefoot in the training field behind the house. Mud clung to my feet, and my muscles already ached. And Sera looked entirely too pleased about it.“Again,” she said.I groaned.“Sera…”“Again.”“You’re enjoying this.”“Immensely.”She tossed me a wooden training staff. I barely caught it before it hit my shoulder.“You’re stronger than you were three weeks ago,” she continued calmly, circling me like a patient predator. “But strength without control is useless.”“I know.”“Then prove it.” She lunged.I barely blocked the strike in time. The staff cracked against mine, the vibration rattling through my arms.Sera didn’t pause. Strike. Block. Turn.She moved quickly, forcing me backward across the wet grass.“Your wolf is fast,” she said, swinging again. “But you hesitate.”“I’m not hesitating.”“You are.”Another strike.I dodged sideways this time, mud splashing under my
The Alpha's Christmas Sin Chapter Thirty- five— Lines in the Dark
Damian’s POVStorm clouds gathered slowly over the bayou as evening settled across the estate.The sky had turned the color of bruised steel, the heavy air thick with the promise of rain. Somewhere in the distance, thunder rolled faintly. Inside the house, the tension hadn’t faded since Selene Blackwind’s visit.If anything, it had sharpened.I stood in the study with Luca, staring down at the map spread across the table.Several territories were marked in red. Marcus Blackwind’s territory, Neutral pack regions, And ours.Luca tapped the edge of the map with a pen. “This was not coincidence.”“No.”“She came to measure Ava.”“Yes.”“And now she knows.” I leaned back slightly. “She knows enough.”Luca shook his head. “That woman doesn’t stop at ‘enough.’”He wasn’t wrong. Selene Blackwind was the kind of wolf who collected information the way other people collected weapons. Carefully. Patiently. Dangerously.“And Marcus?” Luca asked.“He’ll move soon.”“How soon?”I didn’t answer imme
