On the coldest night of December, Aira Santos stumbles into the Winterfang Pack—frozen, bleeding, and running from memories she can’t piece together.She only wanted to survive the storm.She didn’t expect to be found by Cassian Volkov, the ruthless and dangerously devoted Alpha King.Cassian doesn’t trust easily.Not after losing his mate.Not with a five-year-old daughter he’d die to protect.But the moment he brings Aira into his home, the impossible happens—his daughter, Bella, clings to Aira like she’s known her forever.Like she’s been waiting for her.Aira tries to keep her distance.But her powers—cold, ancient, and forbidden—begin awakening beneath Cassian’s roof.The snow reacts to her.The fire fears her.And the shadows hunting her are drawing closer.Cassian swears he feels nothing for her…yet the pull between them grows under every moonlit night.Forbidden. Dangerous. Inevitable.When the Snow Court marks her for capture—and when her obsessive ex, Liam, resurfaces—Aira is forced to face the truth she has run from her whole life:She is not human.She is not safe.And the Alpha King was never supposed to want her.But under the Christmas moon, Cassian makes a silent vow:If the world wants to take her,they’ll have to go through him first.
