Evaline:
Snow had been falling since morning - soft, silent.
Endless white covered the world outside our mansion. But inside… everything felt warm, alive, and full of laughter.
This was my second Christmas with my mates.
And my first Christmas with my son.
That thought alone made my chest feel so full it almost hurt.
I stood near the living room glass wall with Lioren in my arms, gently bouncing him as he stared outside at the falling snow with wide curious eyes.
These days, everything fascinated him.
Especially snow.
His tiny hand pressed against the glass as if he could grab the falling flakes. A small giggle bubbled from his lips, melting my heart instantly.
"Careful there, little wolf," River's deep voice came from behind me.
And then strong arms wrapped around my waist a moment later as he leaned down to kiss the top of Lioren's head.
"And what exactly are you two doing here all alone?"
I leaned back into his chest as I answered, "Showing him snow."
