When Omega Lily Evans returns to her hometown for Christmas after five years away, she brings more than just gifts; she is parenting Alpha Dominic Stone's secret kid, the man who destroyed her heart. Everyone knows Dominic never sleeps with the same woman again, but he couldn't get away from Lily until he unexpectedly married someone else. Lily has forged a new life as a respected defense attorney, but fate has other plans when she realizes her true match is Dominic's cousin, Ethan, a charming hockey star with his own holiday traumas. As the holiday season pulls them together, Dominic learns about Lily's return and the child he never knew existed. With two men vying for her heart - one by former passion and one by genuine mate link - Lily must pick her path while protecting her daughter. Will Christmas magic mend old wounds, or will ancient werewolf traditions rip them apart?

Fated Scent: Holiday Heat and Forbidden Bonds

The pack doctor's bag slipped from Ethan's hands as he reached for the front door handle. Dr. Martinez bent to help him pick up the scattered medical supplies, but Ethan barely noticed. Through the window, he could see them.

Lily sat on Emma's bed, smoothing the little girl's hair while Dominic held a cool cloth to their daughter's forehead. They looked like a beautiful family. Like the family Ethan would never have.

"You okay, Ethan?" Dr. Martinez asked softly.

"Fine," Ethan lied, his chest feeling like someone had hit him. The mate bond pulled at him, demanding he go to Lily, but seeing her with Dominic and Emma made everything hurt worse.

He knocked on the door anyway. He had to. Emma needed help, and that mattered more than his broken heart.

Lily's mother answered, her face tight with worry. "Oh, thank goodness. Dr. Martinez, please hurry. The fever won't break."
