Jax froze in the act of putting his guitar down, mind racing. She knew he was different this whole time? She’d never let on, not once. Turning, he studied her where she was standing by his bed glaring at him. She was pissed off and defiant, but he could see the hurt simmering below the surface.

Fix it. Mix mate, his eagle begged, clawing at Jax’s chest.

“You know I’m different? This whole time?” he asked cautiously.

“Oh please,” she retorted, rolling her eyes. “We’ve known each other for twenty years, and were best friends for most of that. Did you really think you were that good at hiding shit? You’re too fast sometimes, too strong. You’d get hurt, sometimes seriously, and be fine hours later. And your vision is even better than mine, and mine’s perfect. Nobody—nobody can find thirty-six four-leaf-clovers in one lifetime! I might not know what you are, but of course I know you’re different. I knew that by the time I was ten.”

Feeling a little shell-shocked, he made his way past her and sank down on the bed, thinking hard. Remaining standing, she crossed her arms, foot tapping as she waited.

“Well?” she finally asked, exasperation in her voice. “Did you breaking it off with me have something to do with what you are?”

“Will you sit down?” he asked, turning on the bed.

“I’m fine standing,” she snapped.

“Please, Piper,” he said softly.

She watched him before huffing a breath and sitting down. “There. Now answer the question.”

“It did,” he finally admitted. “I didn’t want to do it, Pippy. Please believe that. But I didn’t think I had a choice.”

“I’m gonna need more than that, St. James.”

“Fuck, Piper. There’s so much—”

“No bullshit excuses. Tell me the truth. I deserve to know,” she demanded, the stubborn look on her face warning him he wasn’t getting out of telling her everything.

“Okay, you’re right. You do.” He paused, and then spoke as she opened her mouth. “Just give me a second to get my thoughts in order.” She nodded, and he took a deep breath. “The truth is I’m a shifter. I share my body with an animal. Everything you noticed is true. I’m faster and stronger, and I heal quickly. I have better vision, and hearing as well. I don’t get sick, and I can hear lies.”

Violet eyes wide, she stared at him, running her fingers through her dyed tresses. “Okay. You’re a shifter. What kind of animal do you have?”

Lips quirking, he nodded to the tat on her thigh. “I’m an eagle.”

“Are you fucking serious?” she asked incredulously. “You mean to tell me I have two tattoos linked to you?”

Chuckling, Jax shook his head. “I think your eagle doesn’t have to count. You didn’t know what I was when you got it.”

“That’s true,” she replied with a small smile that faded quickly. “So how does that intertwine with breaking up with me?”

“My colony—that’s what we call our grouping of eagle shifters—has been around these parts for ages. In fact, we founded this town. That’s why it’s named Eagle Creek.
