Wes

Can he hear my heart pounding?

It was impossible to tell as I studied my client’s face, his iridescent eyes trained on the contract before him. I could certainly hear it pounding, the blood rushing through my ears like it always did in these situations. I was trying not to gawk but it was hard, knowing what he was.

No matter how many times I met with the shifters, I couldn’t help but be awed by their very existence. They defied everything I’d ever been taught about nature and science, their ability to become other beasts in the mere blink of an eye absolutely fascinating on every level.

Malcolm Warner, for example, was able to transform himself into a bear on a whim. I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes but I took pride in vetting all my clients, shifter and human. I knew, without a doubt, that Mal was a bear shifter and could kill me with his teeth. I wondered if that should bother me more.

“You need to stop staring at me,” Malcolm sighed, finally raising his head to meet my gaze steadfastly. “You’re making it impossible for me to concentrate on the contract with your eyes boring into me.”

“Sorry!” I mumbled, shooting my glance elsewhere. “I didn’t realize I was staring.”

I didn’t miss the half-smile that formed on Mal’s lips as he turned his attention back to the pages I’d delivered him.

“If it’s any consolation,” he said, reaching for a pen, “this is somewhat new for me too.”

My dark blond eyebrows shot up and I peered at him expectantly, despite my resolve not to look at him directly.

“Financial planning?” I asked innocently, suspecting that was not what he meant. The man was worth millions. He had probably been using a financial consultant when he was in diapers. Mal scoffed at my inane question.

“Working with humans,” he replied, scrawling his elegant signature against the fresh copies of our contract. “Well, working with humans on matters like this. It’s next to impossible to avoid working with you guys these days, isn’t it?”

I was intrigued but I didn’t want to pry. There was so much I wanted to know about the shifter communities and how they operated but I was aware that too much prodding would cause them to shut down. Eventually, I would get to know what I wanted but I needed to be patient.

“We tend to keep money issues between us shifters,” Mal continued, sliding the contracts back across the table and meeting my eyes once more. “You know, religion, politics, sex, money.” He chuckled. “Things we don’t discuss with just anyone, although these days, nothing seems to be off the table.”

“Because it’s so personal,” I agreed, nodding. Mal wasn’t the first shifter to tell me this. There were certain aspects of the shifter realm that would always be separate from the human world.

“Your secrets and money are safe with me,” I assured him with a joking smile. “And I promise not to ask you about religion, politics, or sex.
