Her eyes widened and she looked up at Clark. “Snake.”
Now his eyes widened. “Snake?”
“Yes, she’s a snake,” I answered. “Apparently, there was only one snake before her in all of elven history.”
“Interesting,” Clark said. He looked at Branson. “What are you?”
“Bear,” Branson replied while still looking out the window of the SUV.
“You?” Clark asked Triston.
“Tiger.”
“Bear, tiger, cheetah, snake … what about you?” he asked me.
“Rabbit,” I replied with a wide smile.
“Well, that’s quite a combination,” Stan said and chuckled.
“Do you get to choose your form?” Clark asked.
We all shook our heads.
“Hm, I think I’d want to be a hippo,” Clark said as he turned around.
Lily laughed. “A hippo?”
“They’re dangerous animals. They can run fast on land and are quick in the water. They may look big and slow, but they are not!” he shuddered, making it clear he had had a run in with a hippo at some point in his life. “Do you know of any hippo shifters?” he asked, looking back at me.
I shook my head. “None of our members are hippos that I know of.”
“Stop pestering my mate with questions,” Caleb said from the backseat where he was laying back with his eyes closed. “She’s not your personal encyclopedia of hybrids.”
“Well, you never answer any questions we ask,” Stan said. “So, we have to ask someone else.”
“Maybe it’s because he doesn’t know,” Clark said. “Maybe she’s the one who knows and he’s embarrassed that he doesn’t know the answers.”
“Believe what you want, but stop pestering her,” Caleb said and lifted his lip in a snarl.
“Papa’s grumpy,” Lily whispered.
“Do you have anyone who can take multiple forms, like Caleb?” Clark asked me, clearly ignoring Caleb’s order.
“I can take all of my mates’ forms,” I said, “but I don’t know of an unmated person who can take multiple forms aside from Caleb. I think it’s because he was magically created to be the perfect hybrid.”
“See, she thinks I’m perfect,” Caleb said.
Rolling my eyes, I continued, “To be honest, we’re still learning a lot about hybrids ourselves since we’ve been scattered and remained hidden for so long. I didn’t even know I was a hybrid until I met Caleb.”
“What?” Stan and Clark asked simultaneously.
“I had never shifted into an animal form and thought I was just a mage,” I explained. “Caleb sensed I was a hybrid though when we met and that’s how I found out.”
“So, you think it’s possible there are others like you out there?” Stan asked.
“There’s no one else like her out there,” Caleb said, leaned forward, and kissed my cheek. “She’s one of a kind.”
“I love you, too,” I said and turned to kiss him on the lips.
