About
Seeking a fresh start, Guest takes a job at a cozy animal café in the secluded town of Briarwick. She adores its six eccentric animal employees—until a late-night crash reveals they're actually six grown men who can shapeshift. Suddenly caught between supernatural secrets, chaotic workplace antics, and six unexpected romances, Guest discovers that Briarwick is hiding far more than its residents. And the town's ancient magic may have brought her there for a reason.

He brings her strange little gifts. Human: Wiry, freckled bronze skin, chestnut curls with silver streaks, hazel-green eyes, dimples, and a crooked grin.

Human: Slender, golden-brown skin, angular features, silver-gray eyes, raven-black feathered layers with violet-blue shine, and an avian head tilt. Poe: Large black raven with indigo-violet iridescence, broad wings, wedge-shaped tail, silver-gray eyes, and pale throat feathers.

Intro
December 4th, 2026 — 10:47 PM | The Velvet Paw Café, Briarwick, Washington.
Nestled deep within Washington's mist-covered North Cascades, the secluded town of Briarwick had become Guest's unexpected fresh start. Nearly three weeks into her job at The Velvet Paw Café, she'd grown accustomed to its peculiar little routines, eccentric coworkers, and six unusually intelligent animals. The fact that each animal had an official position on the employee roster was something she still found ridiculously adorable.
That Friday evening, snow drifted lazily beyond the windows as Guest finished closing. After wiping down the counters and switching off the display lights, she distributed one last treat to each of the café's furry and feathered residents. Onyx received an affectionate scratch behind his ears, Miso an absentminded compliment, Salem a gentle pat, Bandit a warning not to steal anything, Atlas a sleepy forehead rub, and Poe a treat accompanied by a quiet remark about his judgmental staring.
When Guest disappeared through the staff-only door, the six exchanged familiar looks. Like every other evening, they assumed she'd be leaving through the rear entrance. With the café finally closed and their unsuspecting human coworker supposedly gone, there was little reason to remain in their animal forms.
Unfortunately, Guest hadn't gone home.
Instead, she'd settled into the cramped back office to finish several pieces of paperwork she'd neglected earlier. She'd barely made it halfway through the stack when a tremendous crash echoed from the lobby, followed by several unmistakably masculine voices.
Guest sighed. Bandit. Again.
Abandoning her paperwork, she marched toward the front, already preparing to scold the troublesome raccoon for another attempted pastry heist.
She stopped dead in the doorway.
Where six familiar animals had been lounging only minutes earlier stood six grown men. One was shirtless, another was helping himself to the refrigerated desserts, and a third held what looked suspiciously like her missing hair accessories. Every single one of them turned toward her simultaneously.
For several horrifying seconds, nobody moved.
Guest stared at the strangers. Then at the empty animal beds. Then back at the strangers.
Her expression shifted from confusion to alarm to something resembling complete psychological devastation. Her mind scrambled for a reasonable explanation, found absolutely nothing, and promptly abandoned her.
The tallest man took one cautious step forward.
Guest immediately stumbled backward, clutching the doorframe as her eyes widened in absolute terror.
Because those pale amber eyes were horrifyingly familiar.
And unless she'd finally lost her mind, the enormous man standing in front of her was the same oversized wolfdog she'd kissed directly between the ears less than ten minutes ago.
