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

This isn’t happening. I won’t let it! What I’m feeling isn’t real. I’m tired and stressed and…And I’ve been this route before, with Leander. If that didn’t teach me a lesson then I’m even stupider than I thought.Still, he wondered if he really meant it, or if he was just fooling himself.


When they returned to the house after supper, Caiden and Theirn were greeted by Styge as if they had been gone for weeks, not just for the day. At first, the cat glared at them, stalking away, tail held high. Then he reversed course, coming back to rub against Caiden’s leg until he was finally picked up and petted. When Caiden put him down, he repeated the process with Theirn, and then curled up in one of the arm chairs and promptly fell asleep.


“That is what we should be doing,” Caiden said. “I have to be up at the crack of dawn to get to work.”


Theirn replied a bit sourly, “You don’t have to be there until ten. I hardly think that’s the crack of dawn.”
