**2025 WSA Participant** She was meant to fade into the background—until she rewrote the ending. Delphia Vosswell was supposed to be a forgotten side character in someone else’s happily-ever-after. Cast aside by her fiancé, ridiculed by the court, and labeled a villainess, her future was meant to be one of quiet disgrace. But when a woman from another world awakens in Delphia’s body, everything changes. Armed with sharp intellect and a will of steel, she refuses to be a footnote in someone else’s story. With wit, charm, and careful strategy, the new Delphia begins to reclaim her name—and reshape the world around her. Yet as she carves a new path for herself, one man complicates everything.

But love was never part of her plan… and neither were the forces working against her from the shadows. In a world of secrets, masks, and manipulation, Delphia must decide what she’s truly willing to risk—not just for power, but for something far more fragile: trust.

But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan.

Paradise. A place I’d only heard whispered about in stories too bright, too perfect, too impossible to be real. Yet running for my life through the Forest Packs dragged me straight into the arms of the one place I never believed existed: Novaterra Pack. The paradise of shifters. The kingdom that rivaled human nations. The home of the Alpha King himself. And somehow… they accepted me. A runaway. A branded traitor. A boy with no pack number, no family, and a past wrapped in blood. I told myself I was here temporarily. Just until they figured out who I really was and tossed me to the wolves like I deserved. But then I saw him. The man with the red eyes. Kastiel Novaterra. The Alpha King who built paradise with his bare hands. The one man I should never look at, never want, never crave. His presence terrifies me. His gaze burns through my lies. And his scent makes my knees weak in ways I never believed were real. Falling in love is the last thing I should be doing in a place that isn’t meant to be my home. But the more I try to run from him… the more Paradise itself pulls me in. And Kastiel. Kastiel never lets go of what’s his.
