StarNovelChapter 383 A Real Christmas
“Alright, enough. It’s Christmas-don’t go looking for trouble,” Cedric muttered, scolding Winona under his breath.
Tessa hadn't had it easy these past few years. If he were in her shoes, he’d be doing everything he could to
make it up to her too-especially after learning she'd awakened as a high-rank wolf and that her boyfriend was
none other than Alpha Landon.
Winona scowled and looked away, the moonstone bracelet on her wrist suddenly feeling more like a shackle than
a gift.
After handing out presents to the rest of the family, the old man turned to Avery with a final gift-a leather music
folio.
“I heard musicians like you need something like this. Makes it casier to carry your sheet music.”
Avery was stunned. He had never once expected to receive a Christmas gift from someone else's family. Inside
the folio, a tiny snow-moon wolf totem was delicately.embroidered. The stitching was fine and precise-clearly
handsewn with care.
It was the first tin years he’d received a Christmas gift in someone else’s home, and it moved him more than
he expected. “Thank you, Grandpa...” he said, voice catching in his throat. Then, flustered, he fumbled through
his backpack and pulled out a USB stick.
“I recorded this track on my phone last night. Added sbass overtones and coyote howl samples... | heard
good music can resonate with the wolf soul-maybe even soothe its beastly nature...”
He scratched his head awkwardly. “I slowed the tempo so it mimics a heartbeat. Should help you sleep better.

Avery hadn’t expected to be part of this family’s Christmas. So he’d thrown this together at the last minute,
hoping it would be enough.
Yardley let out a quiet, scornful chuckle, clearly unimpressed by such a meager gift.
But the old man shot him a glare and took the USB with both hands. “Thank you, my boy. | really like this gift-
and | really need it.”
Seeing the genuine appreciation on the old man’s face, Avery finally let out a breath of relief.
Once the rest of the family exchanged their gifts, it was Tessa’s turn.
She hadn’t gone out of her way for most of the family. She'd just grabbed sthings they might need- cigars,
wine, necklaces-generic but polite. But for her grandfather, she’d made something by hand.
She handed him a delicately wrapped cloth pouch. “Grandpa, you always say you can’t sleep at night, so | made
you a lavender pillow. | added calming herbs used by wolf clans. With Avery’s music, I'm sure you'll sleep better.”
She'd even consulted Samuel for the herbal recipe.
“Wonderful, wonderful.” The old man clearly adored the gift, hugging the pillow to his chest like a
treasure.

Chapter 383 A Real Christmas
Tessa’s gift to Avery was a new piece she’d composed herself-one that matched his musical taste perfectly.
After the gift exchange, everyone gathered by the fireplace. They sipped hot cocoa while warming themselves by
the fire. Yardley cranked up the volon a rock version of a Christmas song. Avery casually picked up a guitar
and joined in with an impromptu jam session. The old man tapped his knees to the rhythm. Snowlight flickered
through the windows, mixing with the warm glow inside. The star-shaped lights on the tree shimmered like
pieces of quiet joy.
For once, the Sinclair family had a rare moment of peace-no being together.
