Jared finds salvation by the light of a Christmas Tree.
Reccer's notes: A perfect read at any time, this story is especially lovely when it's cold outside and the ground is blanketed by snow. The writing is so tactile, you can feel the chill in the air, the tentative steps and crunch of Jared's paws as they break through the snow. His awe and innocence at the sight of the Wolf Pass pack's Christmas tree. So many feels…. Anniespinkhouse writing casts a pretty, magical web. And Alpha!Jensen is achingly kind and gentle, and adorably clueless in his dealings with the broken young omega that drifts into their territory.
Get the hot chocolate and blankie ready to curl up in, this will be a long, cosy read.
[Short excerpt]He wondered if he was somehow dreaming. There was a young man standing by the Christmas Tree. He was tall, and thin as a rake. Dark hair peeped from a snow soaked hoodie and his feet sank into the white, with no sign of boots. Long fingers reached to the tree and touched it gently. The man tilted his head upwards to stare at the angel atop the tree as he stroked the needles, eyes wide in wonder. While his attire was inadequate and his appearance unkempt, he didn’t seem to be in distress and his touch was reverent rather than destructive. Jensen recalled that several of the townspeople had student offspring staying over the holidays and wondered which household this irresponsible lad would return to, frozen through and dripping on the floor. He rolled his eyes and huffed, he wouldn’t be much of a neighbor if he didn’t at least offer some warmth. The lock rattled as he unlocked the door, he started to wedge it open only to see the back of the lad as he ran away. Jensen considered running after him, he could easily catch up if he shifted into wolf form. He dismissed the idea quickly. The last thing they needed was to scare the neighbors’ children. His pack was lucky to be accepted here. It could degenerate quickly with tales of youngsters being chased by hungry wolves. He locked back up and went to bed.
