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?

“You made it a self-fulfilling prophesy, as it were.”


Caiden nodded. “Yeah, pretty much. It’s not like—” now Caiden lowered his voice, leaning in a bit, “—a human would or could accept me for what I am.”


“The joys of being more than human,” Theirn said sourly.


“Yeah. Sometimes it doesn’t seem fair, but that’s how it is.” Caiden finished his beer, wondering if he wanted another one.


“Who’s going to watch Styge while we’re gone?” Theirn asked.


“That was out of the blue,” Caiden replied. “I’m sure Zander will arrange for someone to do it, like he did with you.”


“What about bringing him with us? It would add another layer of ‘this is real’. If you get what I’m saying.”


“It would, but no can do. Leander’s seen him.”
