About this ebook
Mire, the Vixen position on the sleigh team, has watched three of his friends and fellow shifters find their fated mates. He holds out hope that he’ll find his fated mate soon, but since he’s able to leave North Pole City for only twenty-four hours every year, he’s not sure when he’ll meet his one and only. When a non-quad shifter survives a near-fatal accident two days before Christmas Eve, they discover he had an affair with a human woman and had a child with her. Mire is tasked with bringing the daughter to NPC to meet with Santa Claus. What Mire doesn’t count on is that she’s his fated mate.
Noelle Jackson has known her whole life that she wasn’t entirely normal. Born with pointed ears, that her mother had altered with plastic surgery, she’s always felt out of place. When a dark-haired, gorgeous man shows up at her apartment and tells her that he can take her to visit her injured father, she jumps at the chance. She feels connected to the mysterious Mire, whose eyes flash from brown to gold whenever he looks at her.
When Noelle is magically whisked away to the North Pole, she feels right at home for the first time in her life. In a place where the magic is real, can Santa Claus grant Noelle and Mire their Christmas wish to spend the rest of their lives together, or will her father’s deceit mean NPC is closed to her forever?

Chapter 1
Mire twisted lazily in the desk chair behind the station, glancing periodically at the clock on the wall. The bank of monitors in front of him showed various places around North Pole City where he lived and worked. Because he was a special type of shifter known as a quad – able to transform into a polar bear, snowy owl, arctic fox, and reindeer – Mire was not only part of the NPC security force but he was also one of the reindeer who helped pull Santa’s sleigh. Mire was the Vixen position, the fourth reindeer.
The door behind him creaked open, and he glanced over his shoulder to see Vaughn, the Comet position on the sleigh team, standing in the doorway.
All quiet?
Vaughn asked.
Yep.
NPC was a hidden city at the top of the world. Santa Claus’s magic kept it hidden and protected. Only SC, Santa’s nickname to the locals, was magically powerful enough to leave the North Pole any day of the year. Everyone else, including Mrs. Claus, could leave for only twenty-four hours beginning at dawn on Christmas Eve. Mire normally didn’t mind being stuck in NPC all year long, but over the last few years, he’d watched three of his best friends and fellow sleigh team members find their fated mates.
Fated mates, as they were known, were the one true mates for the supernatural creatures who called NPC home. Fated mates were rare, and up until Arian, the Blitzen position, who had found his fated mate in a human named Charli, no one had found a fated mate in years.
Mire turned his body to face Vaughn. Do you ever think about asking Mrs. C to mate-match you?
Mate-matching was something that Mrs. C’s magic accomplished. Through her magic, she could match up couples who were meant to be together. Mire’s parents, like many couples in NPC, had been mate-matched.
Vaughn shrugged. I might have thought about it more if the team wasn’t finding their fated mates. I don’t mind waiting for the right female.
Mire knew that the mate-matches were perfect, but they weren’t fated mates, which were revered by their people. Fated mates had a connection that mate-matched couples didn’t.
Are you thinking about it?
Mire growled out a sigh. Not really. I mean, I think about how nice it would be to have a mate, and I don’t want to rush the process, but damn, if I wouldn’t like to meet her sooner rather than later.
I think most of us are feeling that way, too. Before Arian met Charli, I didn’t think fated mates were even something that could happen again. It had been so many years since they’d happened. I guess I feel like if Mrs. C mate-matched me, then I’d be doing a disservice to my fated mate.
How so?
"Well, if there’s a fated mate out there for everyone, then there’s one for me, and I’m hers, too. If I take myself out of the running to be an eligible mate, what happens to her? Would she be unmated for her whole life, or thinking that something’s missing forever?"
That jarring thought never crossed Mire’s mind. Maybe if fated mates get matched up to others, the connection disappears and both can move on.
Maybe. But I wouldn’t want to chance it. Would you?
No, of course not. Still. It would be nice if fate would hurry up a bit.
Vaughn snorted. I hear that.
Mire turned back to the monitors and logged off the system so Vaughn could take over for the next shift. Then he stood and stretched, before moving out of the way.
"Are you going out
