A rising author with a voice too strong to silence, she collides with Damien, a man who rules in darkness and is used to getting everything he wants. But Isolde isn't like anyone he's ever met-she has boundaries, self-respect, and a refusal to be owned. Their encounters are battles of will: his desire to possess versus her demand to be respected. Yet in the coldest season, something begins to thaw. As he learns to protect her without controlling her, and she teaches him what love truly means, the two of them are pulled into a hauntingly beautiful romance that burns against the frost of December. A gothic Christmas tale of obsession, redemption, and the dangerous magic of choosing love.

As Paige rebuilds their life from the ashes, she teaches her daughter that love isn't measured in gifts or apologies, but in truth and consistency. And when Nathan finally realizes what he's lost, it's already too late. Tender, powerful, and hauntingly real, What Rose Saw is a story about betrayal, motherhood, and the quiet strength of choosing peace over chaos - and dignity over desperation.

The Wulvers Series Book 6 #79 in magic #198 in paranormal "The path I choose will decide my fate; to follow tradition, or to break it." ~ Raeghan Ava Lyall As the female first born of an Alpha Pair like my mother before me, I knew it would be easy to settle for the same fate as her; to have my life choices come down to mating and becoming an Alpha Female, or never rising above the rank of Beta. I choose neither. Every day, I live to prove I should be heir and one day take my father's place as Alpha of the Western Pack in Scotland. Such ambitions challenge an age old tradition that make enemies of Wulvers who cling to their ancient ways. And most do, which means few dare to stand at my side. The lonely fight is tiring, and after so many years I'm left with an unsettling question: if the council and my father continue to refuse my claim, what do I have left? My cousin Fenna might provide a much needed chance at finding a sense of equilibrium within myself again. Her mate's pack live in deep the Scandinavian wilderness and their Alpha Pair promise they can mould me into a worthy heir for my pack. But going there means being near Ebbe, a male who grew up in fur more than skin and sees things so differently from me. A male who tempts me to break a rule I made. And if I do, it could destroy everything I've worked for.

This novella takes place on the spaceship Godspeed and deals with characters seen in the Across the Universe series.
