Something was missing. I paced the floor of my cabin, searching for
why it felt off. The open floor plan of the main level looked like it always
did. There was the small kitchen separated from the rest by a huge butcher
block island, the round dining table and chairs gleaming beneath a low
hanging light, and the oversized sectional sofa that faced the fireplace, with
a barely used TV hanging on the wall above.
Nothing was out of place, but it seemed emptier than usual. Less like a
home than it should, considering I’d been here for five years and had built it
myself, with help from my fellow bear shifters. It lacked warmth. It lacked
a woman’s touch.
It might be time to start seriously looking for my mate. All shifters had
one. The person who called to both our shifter and human halves. I hadn’t
found mine in Shifter Alley, the large swath of forest populated with a
variety of shifter species, but I could travel to other shifter havens. The
thought wasn’t appealing. Most shifters avoided passing through human
territory, electing to stay closer to home.
Humans knew of our existence, but they were often uneasy in our
presence, subconsciously aware of the wild nature of our shifter halves. It
made forays into human areas uncomfortable. Not to mention shifting near
humans wasn’t the wisest course of action. Humans were banned from
hunting in shifter havens, but outside, our animal halves were easily
mistaken for prey.
My bear was restless as I contemplated going on a mate hunt. The
energy built up beneath my skin, almost forcing a shift, but the last time I
shifted in the house, he broke the back door off its hinges in his eagerness to
escape the confines of my cabin. The guys ribbed me about it for weeks
afterwards. I headed for the door. I’d shift and try to run off the excess
energy before sitting down to figure out a plan.
The crackle of the radio stopped me. My bear grumbled as I crossed to
the table and picked up the microphone. Cell phones worked inside each of
the shifter communities thanks to cell boosters, but Jasper, the lion who
acted as our liaison with the outside world, still preferred to use the old
radios.
“You there, Dean?”
“Here. What’s up?”
“Highway 90 is closed for roadwork today. I expect most people will
wait until it opens, but the official detour is through Shifter Alley. Wanted to
let everyone know there may be human traffic on the road.”
“Thanks for the heads up. I’ll let the rest of my sleuth know.”
As the leader of our sleuth, I handled all our communications with other
groups in Shifter Alley and kept my guys updated on any news. I shot off a
text in our group chat before dropping my phone on the counter and
