Nix

An entire day had passed and I had done nothing but absorb all of the new information that was flying through my head on repeat. I was a shifter. I had shifted into a Phoenix. All of my careful planning to escape my previous life had accidentally landed me in the one place in the country with the largest shifter population. Well done, Nix, well done. I rolled my eyes at myself, stood, stretched, and resumed my pacing—which was hard to do, by the way, in such a small space. I had been doing the same thing on repeat off and on for the last day.

I was starting to feel bad about my avoidance of both Rini and the guys. I had woken up super early yesterday to shower and was out of the room faster than Rini could wake up. She was a seriously heavy sleeper and I wondered briefly if that was a bear thing? Either way, it had worked to my advantage. I spent the day wandering through the buildings on campus, going by each of my classrooms one more time before school would start. I liked to be prepared and didn’t want any surprises—good or bad—to hinder my first day of classes. I had come this far across the country to live a peaceful, ordinary life. While the ordinary part might not be obtainable any longer, the peaceful part could be, so with extraordinary effort, I had blocked my thoughts and focused only on school and what I needed to get in order to be prepared for classes to start.

That plan worked until approximately lunch time when I could no longer live in the alternate universe I had tried to create for myself. Sighing, I stopped by a bistro on campus to grab lunch, thankful again for my meal plan, and snuck back to my dorm where I proceeded to do as much research as I could on shifters in between my bouts of pacing. Whether what I found on the internet was reliable or not was another question.

Today had started much the same way. I woke up early and planned to tiptoe my way to the shower but when I cracked my door open, I caught Rini in a passionate lip lock with Donovan before he walked out of the door.

“God! Sorry!” The apology slipped from my mouth and I tried to make a hasty retreat back into my room.

“Nix!” She sounded excited. Well, the big burly bear had just kissed her into next week. If someone kissed me like that I’d probably be excited too. Except for the whole ‘no one could touch me without inciting a freakout of epic proportions’ thing. Yeah, so no kisses for me. I’d have to leave that for books, movies, and, apparently, my roommate. “She emerges.” Rini teased with a smile. “Sorry about that.” She motioned to the door Donovan had just walked out of. “I probably should have warned you that the guys will be in and out of here a lot.
