Rebel Without a Claus

Grizz

Over a decade in prison didn’t break me.

It built me.

I am a weapon.

Something to be feared.

A recluse who only ventures out when my club needs help.

My brothers are all I have, and I will never let anything touch them.

But when she shows up, broken and on the run, I find myself risking it all.

For her.

Brynn

I’ve never had a place where I belong.

No real family. No safety net.

Survival is all I know.

So when everything falls apart one night and danger closes in, I grab my daughter and run.

Anywhere feels safer than the life we’re escaping.

I just never expected anywhere to be a snow-covered mountain town.

Or to find safety in a man like him.

Spending the festive season hidden in the mountains feels like just what we need.

But Hallowed Springs comes to life when the sun goes down.

With dancing demons and whispered legends lurking in the streets.

And as the Christmas bells ring, I find myself caught in a web of destruction.

One I never saw coming.

I thought I knew evil.

But now I’m struggling to see the truth.

I just hope he reaches me before the darkness does.
