A Wolf For Christmas

Kitty’s husband returns from the magical war distant and reserved. To help him recover, she plans the perfect—albeit belated—Christmas. 

Red and gold ornaments. Boxes with bows. She hopes her husband loves everything, even the present under the tree that, well, wriggles. 

But Doug can smell it from all the way across the room. And he doesn’t like what he smells.

Does this spell the end of their relationship after all? 

A richly-imagined, private moment in a world where people can choose to be transformed for the sake of their country—for everyone who wants to believe that soldiers deserve a happy ending.
