Cinderella's Godmother had it Easy
After all, Cinderella was young, fit from hard labor and lean eating. Clean her up, buy her a fancy dress, and she's fit for a dance with the handsome prince. Any Nordstrom personal shopper could do it.
But take a middle-aged, overweight college professor who's only been a wolf shifter for a week? Now that's a challenge, Abby Stafford thought whimsically. But here she was off to the ball, on the arm of Jake Lewis, a banished shifter prince, to dance with the Akihiro Tanaka, Alpha of the largest pack in the world — a shifter king.
Jake said she didn't have to choose. She could have both of them if she wanted. But Abby didn't think it worked like that — not even in a fairy tale.
A short story in the world of the Wolf Harbor series.
