SANTA CLAWS



A Wyndham Werewolf story



┬й MaryJanice Davidson, 2001.




For Giselle McKenzie. If not for her, this would have been a very different story.




Chapter One




Alec Kilcurt, laird of Kilcurt Holding and the most powerful werewolf inEurope , stomped through the
snow and slush and wished he were anywhere, anywhere but here.



He stopped and stood obediently with the rest of the herd, waiting for the light to change. Snow was
spitting down on him with malice he could almost feel. It did nothing for his mood. He disliked leaving his
home for any reason, but being called toAmerica to pay homage to The Wonderful Child was a bit much.



And now he was shamed; his duty had never seemed a chore before. He admired and respected the
pack leaders, Michael and Jeannie Wyndham. Michael was a good man and a fine leader; his wife was a
crack shot cutie and baby Lara was adorable. Since the cooing, drooling infant was likely to be his next
pack leader, AlecтАЩs presenceтАФthe presence of every countryтАЩs werewolf headтАФhad been required for
both political and practical reasons. The pack was some 300,000 werewolves strong; unity was both a
desire and a necessity.
 Unfortunately, visiting the Wyndhams in their happy home just exacerbated his own loneliness. HeтАЩd
been searching for a mate for years, but had...how did the humans put it? Never found the right girl. He
thought it was funny that human women complained their men didnтАЩt commit. An unattached werewolf
male was likely to want to move in after the first date. What was a man, after all, without a mate, without
cubs?



Nothing, thatтАЩs what. Meeting baby Lara was a great relief; pack leaders without heirs made everyone
nervous. Seeing MichaelтАЩs happiness, on the other hand, was a torture.
