Shift Happens

I’ve always had a quiet, orderly life running my local comic book store. That is, until a tiny, fidgety wolf shifter shows up asking if he can work for me. He’s maybe five-foot-four, constantly knocking things over, and clearly has zero idea how to interact with humans—or handle the coffee machine.
His name’s Milo, and he insists he’s trying to “train his human side” to better blend in with society. Spoiler: it’s a disaster. But between his adorable clumsiness, his habit of curling into a little wolf ball under my desk when he’s embarrassed, and the way he blushes every time I compliment him, I find myself looking forward to the chaos.

Helping Milo adjust to human life is going to be… complicated. There’s the paperwork, the bookstore customers, the awkward social events. And somehow, amidst the spilled lattes and toppled comic displays, I realize I’m slowly falling for him. Clumsy paws, big wolf heart, and all.
