Emilia
The Valentine’s Festival was supposed to be my fresh start. Instead, I find myself caught in a snowstorm of danger and desire. When my booth collapses and a rogue shifter threatens my life, Dax—a gruff, brooding bear shifter—saves me. His protective nature stirs something deep within me, but his icy walls and the darkness chasing us make me wonder: can I trust him with my heart when I barely understand the magic that ties us together?

Dax
I’ve spent years avoiding the chaos of fated mates, burying myself in duty and solitude. But when I save Emilia, a human with a quiet strength and a bracelet imbued with mysterious magic, everything changes. My bear roars to claim her, but the shadows of my past—and the growing threat of rogue shifters—make me question if I can keep her safe. She’s my fated mate, but can I protect her without risking the fragile bond we’re building?

Will the magic of fate and the power of love be enough to shield them from the rising danger, or will the storm prove too much to weather?

Join Emilia and Dax in this steamy Valentine’s short story as they discover the strength of their bond and the courage it takes to fight for love!
