Lana
Lana paced back and forth across the courtyard of her family’s palace. She hadn’t heard from her sister Lucy in more than a week. She and Lucy communicated several times a day, but Lucy had suddenly stopped responding.
Clarence, her father, who was a lord over a large pride land, loped towards her.
“You still haven’t heard from Lucy?” he asked.
Lana fretted. “No, and I’m worried. We’ve always talked a couple times a day. Now nothing. Something is really, really wrong.”
“I knew that no good could come of her marrying a human and living in the human world.” Clarence shook his large head, his heavy mane making him seem even more massive than he was.
“Father, I have to go find her,” Lana said.
“Absolutely not,” a female voice said behind them. “I’ve already lost one daughter. I refuse to lose another.”
Sara, her mother, stood in her human form, her arms crossed and a stern look on her face.
Lana knew that look. Her mother was very serious, and very frightened.
Lana shifted from her lioness form to her human form.
“Mother, I know you are scared. But I have to go. Lucy could be in trouble. I have to find her.”
“I forbid it,” Sara said, her voice quivering.
“I have to, Mother. You know that.”
Without a word, Sara turned to go back inside.
Her father sighed. “Come. I’ll show you the way to the safest portal. Ask for Brady. He’ll help you.”
After saying good-bye to her father, she stepped under an arch. Suddenly, she found herself in a basement surrounded by several shifters. A huge dragon stepped forward, looking ferocious.
“Who are you?” he demanded.
“I’m Lana. I come from the Singh Pride. My father, Clarence, told me to ask for Brady.”
The dragon and other shifters relaxed at her words.
“I am Brady. Come with me.”
Everyone shifted to their human form, so Lana did the same, and followed the men upstairs.
There were a lot of shifters in the club, laughing, drinking, and listening to music. Some were in human form while others were in their shifted form.
The dragon shifter introduced himself as Brady. He said that he owned the club and guarded the portal.
Lana ordered a glass of milk and then explained about the situation. Brady nodded, not interrupting Lana’s story.
“I can help you. The first thing we need to do is to get you dressed,” Brady smiled at her. “Things are done a little differently in the human world.”
Brady heard the questions forming in her mind before she spoke them.
“The great thing is that most of the clothes in this world are soft and comfortable. They aren’t quite as scratchy as the tunics that most wear in the shifter world,” Colleen said.
Lana nodded.
Colleen, one of Brady’s club managers, handed Lana a tunic. Then, she grabbed Lana’s hand.
“Let me introduce you to Casey, Brady’s wife. She’ll help you get situated for the human world.”
Lana nodded again, at a loss for words. She followed Colleen out the door and into the streets, bustling with alien activity.
Colleen let out a shrill whistle and a yellow beast stopped in front of her. A large mouth opened, revealing a bench inside the belly of the beast.
Lana hesitated, but when Colleen prodded her to hop in, Lana obeyed.
After a short ride, the yellow beast stopped in front of a tall building. Colleen handed the human in the front bench some green paper, which Lana assumed was payment for the ride. Then, they went upstairs.
Lana started to feel a little overwhelmed. She was already upset over losing communication with Lucy. Then, it seemed like so much had happened quickly. There were so many strange things in this world, and for a moment, she wanted nothing more than to go back to the simplicity of her world.
Then, she thought of Lucy in danger and she banished all thoughts of home. She promised Lucy, in her mind, that nothing would stop her from finding her lost sister.
Colleen and Lana walked into a small box. Colleen pressed a button and the box started moving.
When the doors opened, a beautiful woman stood there holding an adorable human child.
“Hi. I’m Casey. You must be Lana.”
Lana nodded.
“I have to get back to the club. Let me know if you need anything,” Colleen said.
Casey nodded and beckoned Lana to follow her.
Casey, who had helped many unfamiliar shifters through this ritual before, introduced Lana to a shower and hair brush. Then, clothes.
Soon after Lana was dressed, there was a knock at the door.
“Nick, please come in,” Casey said, opening the door wide.
Nick looked at Lana curiously. “Brady sent me over here. He said that your guest needed my assistance.”
Casey introduced Nick to Lana.
“Nick is a lion shifter and a detective for the police department. Tell Nick your story,” Casy said, and then excused herself when the baby started crying.
Nick and Lana sat as far apart on the couch as they could. Lana looked at him nervously. He was the sexiest lion shifter she had ever seen. His tawny hair was pulled back in a ponytail. His body looked as though it had been sculpted by Michelangelo. Butterflies were wreaking havoc in her stomach. She had an almost irresistible urge to reach out and stroke the large muscles that showed through his tight t-shirt.
Nick smiled at her, and Lana blushed. He was probably reading her thoughts.
She shook her head to banish the thoughts and feelings. She was here to find her sister, not a mate.
Lana explained that
