Caiden McNeil is a special being, a metamorph who can become any human necessary to stop the criminals his elven boss Zander sends him after.<br><br>Caiden is also a loner, unable to trust anyone on an emotional level. He has reason to feel this way: in his over eight-hundred years, he has learned that caring for someone only leads to despair. After all, how could a human accept him for what he really is, an immortal who will never seem to grow older than his apparent age of twenty-eight?<br><br>Then two men come into Caiden's life -- Leander, a cougar shifter, and Theirn, a half-elf. Either may betray Caiden and his belief that their feelings for him are real. On the other hand, is one of them willing to fight to prove love is possible, if Caiden will only give it a chance?

Perhaps, Someday

For the first couple of days, Caiden actually did as ordered and took it easy. By day three, he was getting cabin fever so, remembering his idea about getting a pet—to wit, a cat—to keep him company, he went to the nearest animal shelter.


“Holy shit,” Caiden muttered when one of the assistants at the shelter took him into the room holding the cats. It was large, with aisles and aisles of cages. “Why so many?”


“Because stupid people won’t spay or neuter their pets,” the woman replied with some asperity. “Since we’re a no-kill shelter…” She sighed.


Caiden understood her frustration as he wandered from cage to cage. There were cats of all sizes and ages, most of them looking at him with what, to him, seemed like yearning.


Then he turned the corner and saw a large black cat cowering at the back of its cage.


“What’s with him?” he asked the woman.
