The Wolf Came on Christmas
Updated at Jan 21, 2026, 08:03
After losing her husband and the child she was expecting, Johanna Grant retreats to an isolated cabin in Wyoming with a single purpose: to endure her grief in solitude and survive Christmas without memories, without questions, and without company. The forest, the snow, and the silence seem like the perfect place to freeze the pain and stay safe from the world. But on Christmas night, something knocks on her door. It is not a human visitor, nor a miracle like the ones found in stories. It is a wolf cub who speaks, bleeds, and begs for help. With him comes an impossible discovery: werewolves exist, and the forest Johanna chose as a refuge holds secrets far older and far more dangerous than she ever imagined. What was meant to be a night of isolation becomes the beginning of an irreversible change. By offering help, Johanna not only saves a family that does not belong to the human world, but also opens the door to a truth that reshapes her solitude, her fear, and her way of continuing to live. That Christmas, she does not receive the gift she expected. She receives the one she was destined to find.
