Chapter 14

They sat around the nice-sized dining table—the Alpha Force team, plus Owen, with Lupe on the floor.

Selena pretended to enjoy her well-made omelet with its meats and cheeses. It did, in fact, taste good. If she’d only been hungry, she would have liked it even more.

She gave occasional bites to Lupe, who was clearly happy about it.

As her team discussed the training with Owen, she just sat there at first, picking at her food and drinking her coffee, listening. And only glancing now and then toward Owen to show interest and politeness.

She purposely kept off her face any indication of what had occurred last night—and her misgivings about what would happen now between them, even though the answer was indisputable. Nothing.

But her emotions were in an uproar. That caused her to think too much about her last relationship, such as it had been, in which her lover had told his son that shapeshifters weren’t real and the whole idea was stupid.

Owen knew they were real, and he needed to use shifters in his position with the RCMP. But what did he actually think of them, deep inside?

Especially now.

Not that they actually had a relationship. Not now and not ever.

Only sex...of the mind-blowing kind.

“Have any of you ever conducted this kind of operation before?” Owen was asking. “I mean, shifting first and then going to surveil an area?”

“I think we all have,” Patrick said. “Sometimes we do that as an exercise, essentially spying on humans we don’t want to notice us. Sometimes it’s special-ops troops who are advised there’s a covert military exercise going on near them to see if they can spot anything out of the ordinary and report it to their commanders. Sometimes it’s in a regular civilian situation like an office building or a shopping center. But our kind of recon only works well if there are nearby wilderness areas or urban parklands known for containing wildlife.”

Owen nodded. “I really want to start talking now about the information I’ll need once my CAs start our mission.”

“Fine. Let’s go over it.”

For the next hour or so, as the group finished breakfast, mostly Patrick and Owen talked, with the rest of the group chiming in as they had thoughts or suggestions.

That included Selena. Even though she was the least experienced Alpha Force member, she utilized both her educational and shifting backgrounds to try to anticipate the needs of the CAs.

“When I grew up in a remote location in Wisconsin,” she said as they planned how CAs who had already shifted would do recon at the highly suspected area, “some friends and family members who were shifters did something similar, long before I engaged in Alpha Force tasks after joining about six months ago. We had access to a forerunner of the current elixir, thanks to Major Drew Connell and his family also coming from the same area.”

Trying not to be distracted by Owen’s intense scrutiny of her as she spoke, she described how, for fun and not for security or rescue of anyone, they had tested their skills.
