When Talia, a shy but adventurous woman, agrees to meet a man from a role-play chat for a “Christmas predator-prey fantasy,” she expects nothing more than a fun escape from loneliness during the holidays. Her partner, Luka, chooses to play a wolf. She chooses to play a bunny. But when Luka shows up in person...intense, dominant, beautiful, and strangely feral...Talia quickly realizes something is off. His scent, his heat, his possessiveness… none of it feels human. The truth hits her hard: Luka is an Alpha werewolf, and their playful role-play has accidentally triggered a supernatural claim. Before she can flee, vampires attack in the snowy forest, pulling her into a centuries-old war. Luka saves her, marking her as “under his protection,” which makes her a target for vampire hunters. Now Talia must stay with Luka in his mountain lodge until Christmas passes and danger fades. But as snowstorms trap them together, the heat between them rises irresistibly. He teaches her the rules of the pack. She learns the truth behind the war. And both of them discover that their “game” was never a game at all. By Christmas Eve, Talia must choose: Return to her normal life… or accept the Alpha who sees her as his fated mate.

For a thousand years, under the turning of endless moons, werewolves and fox spirits have drenched the earth in blood. Their war is ancient. Their hatred, eternal. Dmitry Blackclaw, feared Alpha of the Wolf Tribes, was born to end that war. Brutal, loyal, raised in leather and steel, he knows only two truths: Protect the pack. Destroy the foxes. Until the night he finds a dying woman in the snow. Silver eyes. White fur cloak. A scent that coils around him like forbidden magic. He carries her home, unaware that he has rescued Catherine Vixéra, heir to the Fox Kingdom... the most powerful fox princess of her generation, capable of illusions, seduction… and deception sharp enough to slit a king’s throat. She lies about her name. She hides her magic. She plays weak so the wolf will protect her. But Dmitry feels the bond stirring... something impossible, something forbidden. And Catherine feels something worse: her heart betraying her plans. Caught between duty and desire, prophecy awakens: A child born of wolf and fox will either unite the clans… or destroy them all. Now hunted by both species and torn between love and loyalty, Dmitry and Catherine must choose: End the war. Or become the spark that burns their world to ash. The moon is watching. The prophecy is waking. And shadows are rising in the ancient forests…
