    About this ebook

    It’s NOT Christmas!

    Cassie is tasked by a curious pantheon to create a Winter holiday. The witch in her loves celebrating at the Solstice, but the humans keep calling it Christmas, when it’s really not. Even if you can give gifts... if you want. And, there is feasting and merriment and a time to reflect until the Spring Equinox arrives.

    But, it’s not Christmas. It’s really not. Fir trees? Decorative!

    Severine Wolfe

    Severine Wolfe is a pen name. It's also a name I've used across the gaming world for nearly 20 years. I answer to, "Hey, Sev!" just as easily as my birth name.I am married and have four grown children and three grandchildren. I love to read and I read everything from treatises on philosophy to theories on the speed of light to the most bawdy of bodice rippers. My interests are varied but reading, knitting and gardening are my top three. Extreme knitting, not for the faint of heart.I've had stories running around my head for years and I'm just now letting them out to put themselves on the virtual page. I hope you enjoy the characters as much as I have over the years. You can contact me at sevwolfe@gmail.com.

      Dedication

      This is to every author out there who has written Christmas stories that I have enjoyed through my life. I love catching up with series characters at the holiday. Each of you have brought me happiness and cheer, and I re-read your books every holiday. Thank you.

      From The Author

      I started this last year, actually, but it didn’t feel right, so I didn’t put it out there. I wanted it to be a gift to my readers, who are the very BEST! As it happened, a story popped up in my mind and New Reality Paradox was borne when I had no idea of even writing another Demonworld book. After that was done I took another look at my story and thought, You know… And thus, I added and brought a few things into focus that I had been hedging on for a while.

      I hope you like this slice of life tale from the Demonworld. We get to check in on our old friends and meet their growing families and answer the question of whether Seth ever leaves his mate alone. Ever.

      The series numbering may be off because where I am publishing this doesn’t allow for the "in-between) numbering.

      Cassie is tasked by a curious pantheon to create a Winter holiday. The witch in her loves celebrating at the Solstice, but the humans keep calling it Christmas, when it’s really not.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Honey, why is Arminius at our door? Bax Clancy said, looking back into his house where his wife was entertaining their twins.

      Cassie looked up as Bax led in a Demon who looked fierce and dour. Ariadne, her daughter lifted up her hands to her favorite uncle and the large Demon bent down and picked her up to toss her into his other arm, causing her to laugh and chortle as only delighted babies can. Both of her parents smiled with glee.

      She is happy here, Arminius said, handing the small one off to her father and looking down at her mother. I would like to do this as quickly as possible so I can get back to Aliera.

      Cassie stood up and placed the twins in a playpen she’d brought from Earth, and smiled. Great! Once I see what I want I can place an anchor and take myself.

      What are you two doing? Bax asked blandly as if he had no say in the matter.

      It’s a surprise, I can’t tell you, said his wife who was putting on her ski parka, then kissed his cheek and went outside where Arminius would take them someplace Cassie didn’t know about.

      He looked down at the two children she’d given him and realized that it didn’t really matter because he loved surprises. Cassie having been the best one of his life.

      *****

      Cassie opened her eyes and saw a forested region on a world she did not yet know well enough to arrive at the thing she wanted with the pinpoint accuracy she prided herself in.

      Oh, Arminius, she whispered. This perfect. Cassie felt almost like she was in a church.

      It is not far from Gareth’s holding, you should have asked him, he said looking around.

      Oh, no, the baby is teething and Krys was called home late last night. She looked over at her companion and smiled. I’ve put an anchor down, Arminius. Return to your mate and child.

      Are you certain you will be safe alone here?

      Cassie raised an eyebrow and smirked.

      I’m pretty sure I’m safe.

      He smiled, knowing she was the most powerful witch any of them had seen in too long.

      As soon as Arminius had stepped to the gate closest to his home, she let herself relax and looked up at the huge, coniferous trees that grew in this region. They looked much like the pines and firs of Earth. This was exactly what she had been looking for.

      She was damned if she would give up Christmas. She’d had to go without Thanksgiving. Her dear baby, Ariadne simply could not go to Earth, even for a few hours with no control over her need to consume magic. Even with all of her magic relatives around, it would drain them dry in Earth’s still diminished magical levels.

      Hopefully, according to the books that her brother-in-law, Glenn had found for her and Bax, Ariadne should be able to begin learning to control her feeding on magic in a couple more years, with short trips to Earth to help her learn in between. Cassie lived with the real fear that she’d never be able to return to her homeworld and live a normal life, or as normal as it would ever be for her.

      I used to be an actuary… she muttered as she began walking through the forest scoping out trees, looking for the perfect specimen for her own home. She had popped to her home realm the week before and hit all the Dollar Stores for decorations. It wasn’t prudent to have anything fragile or expensive with so many babies around.

      Cassie smiled at that thought. They had begun a huge Baby Boom on the Demonworld since they’d all come back. In this world that had not seen a happy birth in so long, having so many babies being born in so short a time, had placed a layer of love that was almost tactile. A layer of happiness and hope that perhaps the Demon race would not die out entirely.

      It was insanity to believe that Pure Demons would be able to repopulate the world again. Humans and Half-elves were finding Demon mates and thus would the new world be born of other worlds. It made her happy that there was a chance that everything bad about the Demon race may have been eradicated. A fresh start was exactly what everyone
