Dani half expected Neo to laugh his ass off or tell her she was the nuttiest person he’d ever met. But when she’d spoken what was on her heart, she just knew that it was the truth. As fantastical as it seemed, as crazy as it sounded, Neo could become a gorilla.

Right?

He hadn’t actually confirmed or denied what she said.

She opened her mouth to ask him if she was right, when he grinned and kissed her.

“You’re right,” he said, his eyes turning brown.

“I’m right? Are you serious? How is that possible?”

He sat on the cot, and she sat on the other, facing him. “Shifters are real, but our natures are a secret from humans. That’s why you don’t know about our kind.”

“There are more of you out there?”

With a nod, he linked their fingers. “Yes. There are different types of shifters and they all live in secrecy.”

Her mind spun. Then something occurred to her. “You live here.”

He nodded. “Underneath the park.”

“Wow.” She ran a hand through her hair with a laugh, the weight off her shoulders. “It’s a relief to know. I honestly thought I was cracking up.”

“You’re not. You feel drawn to me, right? The way you did to the gorilla?”

“Yes.”

“It’s because I am that gorilla. My people believe in soulmates–the one right person for us. Someone our beast agrees is who we should be with.”

“You said you asked Jeanie about me.”

“Right. My gorilla was agitated, and I followed the feeling to the office where I picked up your scent. I knew you were my soulmate. Joss wouldn’t let Jeanie give me your contact information, so I had to wait until you came by on the tour. It was the longest time of my life.”

“Why wouldn’t he?”

He told her how the park had set up the VIP tours to bring in unmated males and females, hoping for soulmates to be among those who received the coupons in the mail. “He wanted me to do this right, and for that to happen, it was best for me to be in my shift.”

“All those gorillas in the paddock with you, they’re human, too?”

He nodded. “The alpha is the leader and the others are my friends. We handle the maintenance in the park. I work on the park vehicles including the Jeeps for the tours.”

She hummed. “What is Joss?”

“A wolf. Caesar is a lion.”

“Geez, I really can’t believe it. It’s so fantastical, but it also feels very right.” She rubbed the space over her heart. “I feel like I’ve known this for ages, but it’s not possible. Do you think my dad and brother know about you guys and that’s why he didn’t want me to go on the tour?”

“I don’t know. It certainly seems suspicious that he actively tried to keep you away from here. He never gave anyone any hints that he knew we were more than human, though, so if he did...” His voice trailed off.

Dani finished the thought. “You think he’s a shifter?”

“I don’t know, sweetheart. And that’s the honest truth.
