Chapter 4

At some point in the evolution of shifters,some random gene had dictated that the females could give birth to their kids without shifting mid-push.That must have been nice for the midwives of old days.Giving birth was the only time when a shifter didn’t shift because of physical pain.Noah sometimes thought that being socked in the nuts would have been nice to have the same attribute too.After all,they said it was as close to birthing pain as men ever got.

Noah listened to Lark speak quietly and cleared his throat before stepping into the backyard.

The females were well on the other side of the lawn,and the cheetah tensed immediately.

“Hi,Lark,”Noah said in a polite but non-conversational tone before walking straight to the greenhouse.

“Hi,Noah.”Lark smiled at him before turning to Shani and saying,“Noah is okay,just like everyone else here.Would you like to meet him?”
