THE ALPHA'S NAUGHTY LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. Chapter 73: DESPERATE FATHER.
Kai doesn't know how long he's been kneeling.Boots strike a stone somewhere behind him. Orders are shouted. Someone screams.The sounds arrive without meaning.His world has collapsed into his shaking hands. Jackson is gone. Ivy is gone."You ungrateful wretch!" Garren yells at him.Kai doesn't turn. His fingers tighten around the ash caught beneath his nails. Looking at Garren feels impossible.Heavy footsteps stop behind Kai. Soldiers immediately clear a path without being told. Nobody wants to stand between an Alpha and the son who has just betrayed him."Whatever problem you have, take it up with your daughter." Slowly rising, he adds, "Where's your daughter, Garren? What atrocity did you instruct her to commit this time?""I could've had everything all along." Garren brushes off the earlier question, folding his hand as if grasping at thin air.Garren's his jacket torn at one shoulder from the collision. His eyes are fully lit. They haven't dimmed since the battle began."I hid
THE ALPHA'S NAUGHTY LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. Chapter 72: THE WORLD BOWED.
Back in Mystic Valley, a teacup rattles across the wooden table. It skids to the edge and rocks there, one more inch from falling, yet never tips over. Eliana stands motionless, a bundle of dried rosemary pressed so tightly against her chest that brittle leaves snap beneath her fingers. The warmth drains from the kitchen so quickly her skin prickles. One breath ago, afternoon heat drifted from the stove. The next, frost crawled across the kettle. The flame bent sideways, no longer reaching for the pot but toward something unseen in the center of the room. Outside, the birds go up in a single frightened mass, a black eruption from the tree line, wings cutting the sky in directions that don't make sense for where they're trying to go. The rosemary slips from her fingers. It scatters across the floor. *** "We..." Elias stops mid-sentence at the council hall. The muscles in Elias's shoulders tense up. His jaw clenches. The pen slips from fingers that suddenly refuse to obey
THE ALPHA'S NAUGHTY LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. Chapter 71: OF ONE BLOODLINE.
She senses him. Not through words. Not through sound. His grief connects with her through the bond, intense enough to pierce through everything else. It hits her chest with a heaviness she has never experienced, resonating with the remnants of another bond that has just been severed forever. Ivy turns. She has been suspended somewhere between herself and the wolf for longer than she can measure. Time no longer makes sense. One heartbeat stretches on endlessly, while the next vanishes before she can even feel it. Her body belongs to neither form. Every shift tears her in a different direction. Bone grinds against bone until the sound fills her head. Her shoulders lock, release, then lock again. Muscles pull so tight they tremble before settling, only to twist. She doesn't resist it. She stops trying to hold herself together or fighting it. Then Kai's grief envelops her. Every ache inside her falls silent. Even the pain of changing disappears beneath the weight of h
THE ALPHA'S NAUGHTY LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. Chapter 70: RETURNS TO DUST.
A force grips Kai and throws him across the compound. His back slams against the wall with enough impact to make his teeth clack together. Air bursts from his lungs. A high-pitched ringing fills his ears, drowning out the sounds of the battlefield. He slides down the wall, his fingers scraping at the rough stone, unable to grasp anything.He finds it again, blinks it back, drags air in, gets his hands under him, and looks up.Jackson is still in her grip.He is fighting it. His hands on her forearm, his body trying to find leverage, his legs kicking once, twice, finding nothing. His face is changing color. But that's not what Kai sees first. What Kai sees first is what Numenessa is doing. The hand that holds him is glowing, faintly, a deep and specific illumination that travels upward from her palm and into Jackson, and where it travels, energy drains.Numenessa observes him with a sense of quiet satisfaction as the light spills into her palm. The corners of her mouth curl into a smil
THE ALPHA'S NAUGHTY LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. Chapter 69:CAME FROM DUST.
The ground remembers every hit.Stone has cracked in a wide ring around where Numenessa first landed. Hairline fractures race outward through the compound, splitting steps, climbing pillars, disappearing beneath buildings.Dust still rises from the impact site in slow curls. The light drains warmth instead of giving it. Too white, too cold, the light of something that does not belong to this world's sun.Garren shifts mid-stride.His body fights the change, as though the wolf inside him is not a companion but a second self that must be wrestled into the surface.An Eta takes one involuntary step backward.Bones announce themselves loudly. His shoulders crack, then his spine, the sound of it splitting through the compound air as he drops forward onto his hands. His knuckles split, darkening, nails curling and thickening as the skin beneath them tears.His jaw unhinges.A string of saliva stretches between his upper and lower fangs. His tongue swells faster than his mouth can reshape ar
THE ALPHA'S NAUGHTY LITTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. Chapter 68: GARREN AND NUMENESSA.
"Everything," he growls, "everything I've done, every choice I've made, every sacrifice and hardship, I did it for you and your sister. For this pack." He tightens his grip just a bit. "And you stand before me and call it selfishness."Kai chokes out a sound that almost resembles laughter.Garren releases him.He lands and braces himself against the wall with one hand. Slowly, he straightens up. He rolls his jaw, touches the corner of his mouth, and looks at the blood on his fingers."There he is," Kai says quietly. "The man I grew up with."Garren cracks his neck and flexes his hand, looking at his son. "You embarrass yourself."Kai lunges forward.The wolf within him propels him, covering the distance with a force that should connect.Garren slips aside. Kai catches nothing but empty air. Losing balance, his body crashes into a chair that collapses under him, leaving him sprawled across the stone floor.He lies there for a moment.Kai spits blood onto the stone, plants one hand in t

"You don't trust yourself in her care. You think you'll lose control during her training when she gets sweaty," his lips graze Jackson's throat as he speaks softly, "when those curves press against her clothes." His voice drops to an intimate whisper. "You’ll be distracted watching her move. Watchi

Every Lieutenant rises from their seats and, one by one, kneels before Kai. Heads bowed, fists pressed to their hearts. This is a tradition, ancient and unbreakable.Kai has always been the Alpha, yes, but he was once without a mate. Incomplete. Vulnerable in ways an Alpha should never be. Now, wit

"What are you thinking about?"Ivy jumps, startled. Jackson has quietly appeared behind her. She had been lost in thought, staring at the bonfire, mesmerized by the flames as they danced and crackled. Three camp chairs are arranged around the fire pit. She's sitting on one."I miss Kai." The confes

"Could you say that again?"Jackson spins to face the Lota kneeling before him. The young wolf is panting as if he sprinted across the entire compound to deliver this message."Lady Frida is here, Beta. She's at the gates and requesting entry."Jackson feels a whirlwind of emotions, shock, confusio
