Chapter 9

The rest of my team waited for us at the surface. Once Amanda and Valetta had hugged, cried a bit, and reconnected, we headed back to the Crest City Zoo to plan our next steps.

Dr. Amanda Simmons’s appearance was welcome and expected—but Melissa’s was cause for concern. Several times on the drive back to our hideout, I caught my women sizing up the strange spider shifter, trying to make heads or tails of her. Sophie looked intimidated; Mira like she was looking forward to testing the new girl’s mettle in the bedroom. We had a while to go before either woman’s worries and desires became a factor, though.

“It’s all true!” Amanda said, babbling as we wound our way through the zoo’s exhibits toward Mira’s secret apartment. It was long past closing, though the nocturnal animals were out and about inside their cages and enclosures. Dr. Simmons hadn’t stopped talking the whole drive back—it was as if seeing Valetta again had shattered some kind of dam inside of her that had been holding her words in, and now they flowed out of her uncontrollably. Valetta didn’t seem to mind—nor did she mind the fact that Dr. Simmons spent most of the walk practically in her arms.

“I mean, I knew something had happened to you, and I was studying that Talisman,” Amanda said. “But right up until those creatures showed up, part of me was still thinking this would all turn out to be some secret government egghead project for the military or something like that. I mean, Atlantis? Talismans that turn people into animals, or give them magic powers? It just all sounded like science fiction…”

Valetta is LOVING this, I thought, shaking my head. I’d never seen my locust shifter looking so pleased with herself as when she held court for Amanda. The two of them had an easy, intimate rapport, and any of my women who hadn’t known about the pair’s previous relationship certainly realized it now.

“Oh, Amanda,” Valetta said, shaking her head with a laugh. “You are the most pragmatic woman I’ve ever met. I told you about all of this a hundred times, yet you didn’t believe it until a gang of shifters came knocking down your door.”

“I was so worried about you,” Amanda blurted, pausing in front of the door Mira had just opened. The stairwell down to the secret apartment loomed behind her, lit by old fluorescent tubes. “You disappeared without saying anything—you didn’t even leave a note! First, I worried I’d done something, then I worried there was something I hadn’t done… after that, I just worried.”

Valetta put her hands on Amanda’s shoulders. “I’m alright,” she said. “Things are… different, now, to be certain. But I’m sure there’s still a place for you and your research, Amanda.”

As she finished her sentence, Valetta looked hopefully at me. I gave her an almost imperceptible nod, letting her know I found her lover just as intoxicating as she once had. I could see the word THREESOME unfurling behind Valetta’s eyes like a fucking banner.
