“Fuck you,” I snarled.
“A fool, just like your sister. She will be a dead one if you don’t get me out of here. Move now!”
Climbing to my feet, I felt Chip scramble down into my jacket pocket.
Picking up the box in one hand, I stuffed my other hand in my pocket, cupping gently around Chip’s warm, soft fur, needing his presence to ground me. I was barely holding on, but Chip and my sister kept me moving, heading me back the way I came.
I knew I chose wrong, but my fate was set. My story written.
Alice was the savior of Winterland.
I was its doom.
The harbinger of death and destruction.
They might call me a beauty.
But I was actually the beast.
TO BE CONTINUED!!
More Dinah, Frost, Blaze, Alice, Scrooge, and the gang coming!
The FINAL book in the Winterland Tales, Beast in His Madness!
