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

“If it’s human, or human-like, I can become it. Although I don’t think, if I was being a shifter, I could actually shift into their other form. As far as I’ve been able to determine, and I’ve been at it, so to speak, for around eight hundred and fifty years, it’s impossible for me to become an animal.”


“Interesting. I could cast a Glamour so someone thought you were—I think. Not that you’d ever need that.”


“Besides which, I’d probably have to be on all fours while that happened.”


“No. It’s not that you actually become, say, a wolf. It’s that the person, or people, looking at you think you are.”


“You’re that old,” Theirn said, when the other part of what Caiden had said seemed to sink in.


“Yes. And if you say I look good for my age, I’m shooting you.” Caiden smiled. “Or telling you, so do you, for someone who’s a hundred and…sixty-five. Right?”


“Yep. The advantage of good genes,” Theirn replied, deadpan.
