The Alpha’s Christmas Wish by Mary Auclair

This Christmas Eve, a runaway Alpha and his first love find themselves sharing a hotel room— and a second chance at love — in this swoon-worthy holiday short story. Megan Lane wasn’t planning on seeing Nate Porter, her old high school flame, ever again. After all, Nate left town years ago without so much as a goobye, leaving her heart shattered and her ego bruised. But when her meddling best friend turns a holiday wish into a toe curling kiss, fate steps in to awaken feelings she thought long dead. Nate Porter did the right thing by walking away from Megan after his first change. At least, that's what his family always said. After all, he couldn’t risk Megan getting tangled up in the dangerous world of pack politics. But one look at her at that party, and his wolf knows the truth: she’s his fated mate, and leaving her was the biggest mistake of his life. When a sudden snowstorm forces them to share a hotel room on Christmas Eve, the unresolved feelings between them spark into something more. By morning, Nate knows he’ll do whatever it takes to win Megan back — for good this time. Blending Holiday cheers, second chances, fated mates, and just the right dash of instalove, this short, steamy and sweet romance will leave you swooning, smiling, and believing in love all over again!
