NATHAN'S POVThe city was awash in holiday cheer, but I couldn’t feel it. From the frost-covered sidewalks to the garlands and twinkling lights strung across every storefront, it seemed like the world was celebrating, and I was merely an observer.Inside the office, the hum of productivity had died down long ago as most of the team had left to spend Christmas with their families. I leaned against the large window on Christmas Eve, the cold seeping through the glass as I stared out at the bustling streets below. I should be home, or at least, in my apartment, not here like some workaholic.But I couldn't bear to be in that empty apartment alone. I had moved from where Lola had gotten me and now stayed at a penthouse in Manhattan, now part of the city proper. It had been tastefully decorated to the last detail, but despite my best efforts, it still lacked one essential ingredient.Home.It was like the word was a slap in the face, bringing me back to my reality—why I was here when every

LUCAS’ POVChristmas mornings always felt a little hollow. Not because I didn’t have enough – far from it – but because the things that mattered couldn’t be bought. My penthouse in Manhattan was decked out in an understated holiday décor, arranged by an interior designer I’d hired to “make it festive.”But the towering tree in the corner, the tasteful garlands on the banister, and even the luxury Christmas playlist playing softly through the sound system couldn’t fill the void. My mom had offered to come over, but I had declined, citing that I wasn't going to be in the city.I had plans to spend the holiday in Zurich, finalizing details on a major real estate project. The keyword being “had,” but a last-minute cancellation left me with an empty calendar. The team assured me it would wait until after the new year, which meant I was home – alone.By midmorning, I’d gone through my usual routine: coffee brewed to perfection, a quick workout, and then a series of emails to keep myself bus

VICTORIA’S POVThe sun was merciless today, burning down on me as if even the heavens wanted me to suffer for my so-called sins. Was disrespecting my Alpha a sin? Was it truly a sin if it was all for his well-being? If I did it because I loved him? If so, then I wouldn't change a thing.Nathan and I were meant to be together.My hands were raw from pulling weeds out of the community garden—Nathan’s brilliant idea of justice. Of punishment. It was demeaning, humiliating, and oh-so typical of him.I smiled faintly to myself as I hummed a tune. He didn't have the balls to send me away, and I could tell why. He loves me. He was simply in denial—or just didn't know it yet.I swiped my forearm across my brow, smearing dirt across my face. My once-manicured nails were caked with soil, and my skin was rough and chafed. This wasn’t the life I was meant for. I was the Beta’s daughter, the second most respected rank after the Alpha himself. I had once commanded authority, admiration, and fear.A

SOPHIA’S POVThe gentle hum of conversation and laughter filled the house as the twins darted around, their giggles echoing off the walls. The past few days had been a whirlwind. Lucas’s unexpected arrival on Christmas night had shaken something loose in me—something I'm starting to get the feeling I’d been holding back for far too long.And now, here we were, on New Year’s Eve, still riding our rhythm like this wasn't my first holiday back. Lucas was a man of his word, and I knew he didn't have to be here. He could have been with family, but the fact that he chose here made my heart warm.He was in the kitchen with Alex, helping him build a mini volcano from a science kit he’d received for Christmas. Alexia was beside me on the couch, quietly braiding her doll’s hair, though her curious eyes kept drifting to Lucas.“I think Alex likes him,” Alexia whispered, her voice low but amused.I chuckled softly, brushing a stray curl from her face. “Oh yeah? What about you?”She paused, a misc

NATHAN’S POVThere she was…She was standing a few feet away, her face tilted up toward the fireworks. Her dark hair framed her face, and even in the chaos of the crowd, she seemed to stand apart, as if the world had shifted to put her in sharp focus.Sophia.My wolf surged forward, a mix of longing and protectiveness flooding me. I hadn’t seen her in years, but there was no mistaking her.She turned then, her eyes meeting mine, and the world seemed to stop.Lola’s voice was distant, drowned out by the pounding of my heart and the roar of the fireworks.For the first time in what felt like forever, everything else faded away. There was only her.And just like that, I knew. This wasn’t just chance. This wasn’t just fate.This was my second chance.The moment our eyes met, the world around me ceased to exist. My heart thundered in my chest, a relentless rhythm that drowned out even the roaring fireworks in my ears. My wolf surged forward, his growl echoing in my mind, urging me to act.
