today.
    Ada also had so many questions but probably wouldn’t ask
some of them. They were simply too personal and she’d only met this man a day
ago. She knew a little of shifters in general, but as whole, the various groups
of shifters tended to be reclusive and secretive about themselves. They could
change into an animal. The type of animal depended on what type of shifter.
There was Zarain, Feiral and Santir. Those three were simply the more
well-known of the groups.
    Even at that, she only knew the names of those groups, not
what their animal form looked like or much else about them. Lack of contact
with the shifters could explain some of it, but it did bother her. She hadn’t
realized how little she knew about them. Well, except for the basics taught to
anyone who went near their borders.
    The shifters were fiercely protective of their space. If a
ship went into their space, the ship and crew were subject to shifter law. In
most cases, the shifters wouldn’t take the ship or cargo if the ship carried
any. For females, though, going into shifter space carried another risk.
    Shifter law stated that any female in their space could be
claimed as a mate. Ada had no idea how they decided a woman was a mate but
suspected there would be more reaction than had been shown by any of the men
here. From what she’d heard, very few women were claimed. The females of the Setona should be safe while they were here.
    She found Jagger talking with a few of the other men who’d
come down to the planet with him. Not wanting to interrupt him or eavesdrop,
she stopped before she came too close to them. She waited. She didn’t know if
one of the men had said something to him, but he turned and smiled at her.
    “Come on over here. This isn’t private. Let me introduce you
to a few of the others.” Jagger held out his hand.
    She walked over to join them. The invitation sent a warm
thrill through her. Her hand slid easily into Jagger’s palm. She was a little
surprised at how natural it felt to hold his hand. The men were all blond like
Jagger, all tall and almost impossibly muscular. She’d known shifters were big,
but she hadn’t thought they’d all be giants. These were the first shifters
she’d met and she wondered if all types of shifters were as brawny.
    “Adalyn, these are my friends Cort, Burris and Thal.” Jagger
pointed to the one on the right with the lightest hair and then worked his way
to the left.
    “Hello, it’s nice to meet you.” Adalyn turned her head to
look at Jagger. “If you need to talk to them, the walk can wait.”
    They returned her greeting. She found herself the center of
attention. They were all friendly and none of them seemed upset about the
interruption of their conversation. Still, she wondered if maybe they were
discussing something important and Jagger simply didn’t want to admit it.
    “No, I told you there’s not much to do today. We were simply
talking. If you’re ready, we can go.” Jagger tugged her closer.
    “I’m ready.” She pushed aside any lingering worries over
interrupting them. He’d said twice that they were only chatting. She wanted to
be with him too much to question it.
    He nodded and left her for a moment to get a pack from one
of the tables. Leading her away from the camp, he guided her into the trees.
They’d come out of the small stand of leafy trees soon. Although there were
plenty of trees in this area, for the most part they grew in small groupings
surrounded by grassland and rolling hills. The area seemed to have a fairly
mild climate and she was happy for that.
    Jagger’s hand fell from hers. The loss of contact startled
her. She almost reached to grab it again but stopped herself from doing it. His
hand in hers had felt right. The feeling startled her. He moved in a little
closer and his arm curved around her, settling low on her hip.
    She glanced at him. A smile curved his lips and he looked
satisfied, almost content. His arm behind her was bracing and,
