Chapter 16

It was getting dark by the time Trevor and Alina got to the address Adam had given them when Trevor called asking to meet with the reclusive shifter. Unlike the normal out-of-the-way places where they usually met, this one was bustling with people. Of all the places Trevor expected to meet Adam, an expensive loft-style apartment complex near the Navy Yard wasn’t one of them. As they walked in, something told Trevor this meeting was going to be different from the previous ones.

The first floor of the building looked like an office of some kind, complete with desks, leather couches for visitors, and potted plants. Trevor looked for a sign on the wall indicating what kind of business it was but didn’t see one. The employees—three men and a woman—looked up from their computers as Trevor and Alina entered. Trevor would never have known they were shifters if it wasn’t for the fact that—like Adam—they didn’t have a scent. He had heard Landon and Ivy refer to them as hidden shifters, because they could essentially hide in plain sight. While they possessed some level of animal ability, it wasn’t enough to put them on the DCO’s radar as potential agents. But they’d gained Adam’s attention and now worked for him.

The woman pushed back her chair. In her midtwenties, she had long, wavy, blond hair and gray eyes that looked like they’d seen way too much for her age.

“You must be Trevor and Alina,” she said. “If you’ll come this way, I’ll show you where you can wait. Adam will be with you soon.”

She led them down a hallway lined with small offices, storerooms, and corkboards filled with worker’s comp disclaimers and work schedules that Trevor suspected were there more to make this place look like an actual company than anything else.

He picked up the scent of his fellow shifters long before the girl opened the door to the room at the far end of the hall, so he wasn’t surprised to see Ivy and Landon; Ivy’s sister and fellow feline shifter, Layla, and her boyfriend, Jayson; Clayne and Danica; the newest DCO agent, former Special Forces soldier Angelo, and his fiancée/partner, Minka, the hybrid Thorn’s doctors had created using Ivy’s DNA; feline shifter Dreya Clark and her partner/boyfriend, Braden Hayes, a former detective from the Washington burglary squad; and finally Declan and Kendra and their newborns. Even Tanner and Zarina were in attendance.

“Are you going to introduce me?” Alina whispered.

Trevor grinned. Despite the fact that the proverbial shit was about to hit the fan, he was damn glad to see everyone alive and in one piece. “Yeah. Come on.”

Taking her hand, he led her into the room with its pool table, big-screen TV, more video game consoles than he’d ever seen in once place, and gigantic sectional couch and made the introductions.

Trevor didn’t miss the knowing look Ivy and the other shifters gave him. They almost certainly smelled his scent on Alina and hers on him. Not that Trevor cared if anyone knew he and his partner were sleeping together.
