the coin toss.” He kissed her and she gasped as pleasure bloomed through her from the brief touch of his lips to hers. “I’m going to shift and show you we’re not all crackpots.” He smiled, and the scar down his cheek pulled his lips sideways, making his smile appear even more roguish.
    “If you change into a mountain lion then I’ll be certain you’re all crackpots,” Morgan teased back.
    “I like her,” Samson said. “She’s going to fit into our pride nicely.”
    Morgan looked over and saw the huge soldier holding her sister in his arms. Bethany had her arms around his neck and a contented smile on her face.
    “I thought you were married to Jason. The doctor, Jason, is your husband,” Morgan said. She had been told so much today and now she recalled that Bethany and Melanie had both kept saying husbands, plural.
    “I’m married, and am mate to, Samson, Jason, and Michael Reed. Michael is in the other room with Finn and Jason. We didn’t want to overwhelm you.” Bethany smiled at her as if it was the most natural thing in the world to be married to three men. Well, I ’m attracted to three men, so I shouldn’t move into a glass house any time soon.
    “It’s not uncommon amongst shifters for siblings to share a mate,” Melanie said. “I’m mate to Finn and his three brothers.”
    “Search your heart, young one,” Shana said softly. “Can you understand how they felt after meeting their mates?”
    Morgan looked at Evan’s wickedly smiling face, then looked up at Cameron. He smiled and her stomach fluttered. Ben moved around to her side and smiled at her, too. “I can understand exactly how they felt,” she said. “But it’s very confusing. I’ve never even been on a date before. What do I do with three men?”
    Melanie’s laughter rang the loudest, but everyone was laughing, Morgan included. She didn’t know why she was laughing. Perhaps she was going crazy. That thought silenced her and she looked at her big sister.
    “Will you tell me one day why someone locked you up in that psychiatric hospital?”
    Bethany smiled at her, and Samson carried her to the doorway. “It’s part of the story we need to share with you tonight. Samson won’t let me stay for the next part, so we’ll see you in a minute.”
    “Come along, Melanie,” Shana said. “Finn will have to kill Evan if you see him naked.”
    Melanie left with Shana and closed the door after giving Morgan a smile and a wink.
    “He wouldn’t really kill you, would he?” she asked. Evan pulled the T-shirt over his head and smiled at her.
    “Maybe not kill me, but I’d be missing a much loved body part or three.” He raised his eyebrows as he gestured to his crotch. She laughed despite feeling scared about what was going to happen.
    “Why are you feeling scared, Morgan?” Ben asked. “We have enhanced senses, even in our human form, and can scent emotions. I know that you’re frightened. None of us would ever hurt you.”
    Morgan reached out and touched Ben’s cheek with her fingertips. “Damned casts. I’m scared that it’s not true and that you’re all insane. Then I’d have no reason for feeling the way I do about all three of you.”
    “How do you feel about us?” Cameron asked. He sat down on a chair and settled her on his lap. She had to twist her body to look at him, but she needed to see his face.
    “I feel like I’ll cry if I have to leave you. I don’t even know you, yet I feel like I’ve finally discovered something that had been lost to me forever.”
    “ You feel complete, ” Cameron said. She nodded and he lowered his head and gently brushed his lips over hers. “That’s because you are. You won’t understand this, but you’re a shifter like us, and you are feeling the pull of the mating bond. Your cat is now happy that it’s found its mates.”
    “We can discuss all this in a minute,” Evan said. “We need to show her we’re real. She won’t believe anything until we prove we even
