CRIS

Cris's heart was heavy as the North Star jet cut through the clear sky, heading back to the North Pole. The weight of the betrayal he'd just uncovered hung over him like a cloud he couldn’t shake. His mind churned with anger and frustration, the irrefutable truth of Jack’s—no… he could never think of him as Jack again. He was Frost, and his treachery played over and over in Cris’s head.

Vanguard Holdings. It all made sense now—Frost had orchestrated everything. He had created that soulless corporation to buy out the best toy companies, turning them into money-making machines devoid of magic, innovation, or wonder. Cris gritted his teeth, the familiar swell of rage bubbling inside him. Frost had betrayed them all, all for the sake of power and wealth. But worse than that, Frost’s plan was not only to make himself rich, but to destroy the heart of Christmas itself.

The North Pole had been Cris’s sanctuary for so long. He’d been entrusted with one of Santa’s most powerful gifts: the ability to fly in his shifted form, allowing him to harness magic and protect the North Pole. Cris had always believed in what they did—keeping the magic of Christmas alive for children and others who believed around the world. Now, the discovery that Frost—someone he had once considered both a friend and ally—was the mastermind behind all that had been happening tore at his very core.

As the plane began its descent, the familiar snowy landscape of the North Pole coming into view, Cris’s anger intensified. He needed to shake this off before he returned to the workshop. He couldn’t let the others see the storm brewing inside him. Not now. Not when everything was so precariously balanced.

The jet touched down on the snow-covered runway with a soft thud, the magic of the North Pole making the landing feel smooth and gentle despite the turbulence inside his heart. As the plane taxied to a stop, Cris rose from his seat and headed straight for the door. He needed air. He needed freedom.

The cold hit him the moment he stepped outside, but it did little to quell the fire burning inside. Without a second thought, he made his way into the open field by the airstrip, his boots crunching through the snow. The stillness of the place, the untouched beauty of the snowy landscape, was a stark contrast to the turmoil within him.

He knew what he needed to do.

Closing his eyes and called forth his moose. The familiar warmth spread through his body, the shift beginning as the air around him crackled with energy. His muscles rippled, the snow swirling up around him as his form shifted from human to something much larger, much more powerful. In a matter of moments, Cris stood as a massive moose, his antlers stretching high into the night sky, his dark eyes glistening as the transformation completed.

With a snort, he shook his large head, tossing the snow from his antlers as he began to move. Slowly
