Simon's P.O.V.

I watch Krystal fall asleep, and once I'm sure she's completely out, I sneak out of bed. I haven't showered since coming to Onate, and washing up in the bathroom at the hospital wasn't quite the same. Once I'm clean, I put on fresh boxers. That's when I realize Krystal has no clothes. Everything of hers was destroyed by the storm. I pull out my phone and place an order from a local store to have clothes delivered in the morning. I order things that are comfortable because she's not going to feel well tomorrow. Hopefully, we can remove her casts in the morning, too. She should already feel the effects of changing to a snow leopard.

When I lay beside her, I slide my arm under her head and wrap my other arm around her. She sighs in her sleep and turns toward me as much as her casts will allow.

I want to talk to her about what we're going to do with Phillip. I'll let it be her decision whether she wants to be involved. I'm still worried she accepted me and wanted me to mark

    Karalee's P.O.V.I can't help staring at Liam in shock. He's in love with me? I know it's more the image or the idea of me that he's in love with, but hearing him say it makes my heart feel like it's going to explode. Our backgrounds are more similar than he realizes. I still wonder what he'll think about being my mate."Uh, I don't think you love me like you think you do. You don't know me." I reply carefully, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He's my mate, but I don't want him to accept me only because he's infatuated with me. Choosing to be a shifter is life-changing, and I need him to do it with a clear head. As much as it pains me, I can't tell him what I am yet."I don't know you, but I love everything you stand for. I was worried those guys were going to put me in the hospital tonight, and I would never get the chance to see you. You showed up like an angel and saved me. When you touch me, you make me feel good. Being here with you now is a dream come true. Please don't push me

    Liam's P.O.V.I should have known better than to talk to some locals about boxing. I've been so excited about this trip and watching Karalee in person that I let my mouth run like water. We were talking about the best male boxers, and of course, I said Muhammad Ali. They said that the greatest of all time was Les Darcy. I have no idea who that is because I'm from Philadelphia, not Australia. Well, telling them I had never heard of him was the wrong thing to say.All three of them were drunk, but I had only had half a beer. They grabbed me off the barstool and took me outside. None of the bystanders paid any attention, as though this type of thing happens every day. Before I could react, they had me on the ground, punching and kicking me. Why did I say that's not how real fighters fight? Again, my mouth doesn't know what's good for me.When I saw the pretty blonde woman approaching, my heart stopped beating for a second. She was so beautiful; I thought I had imagined her. When she came

    Karalee's P.O.V.Tomorrow is the big day. I need to be in tip-top shape if I have any chance of winning. I'm really good, but that doesn't mean Polly won't be better."Get him, get him. Left uppercut now." I listen to my trainer as I practice with my sparring partner, Mason. I'm a boxer from Australia. Not many female boxers come from here, but I have a secret. I'm a kangaroo shifter.When people look at me, they don't see a boxer. They see a petite twenty-one-year-old. I'm a featherweight, so I'm small and have to put on weight to fight within my weight class. I have my long blonde hair in a tight braid down my back. I don't know who is worse when I'm fighting: my trainer, Benji, or my kangaroo, Eva. She's in my head telling me what to do while he's yelling from the side of the ring. When I send Mason to the ground, Benji stops us."Great job. Are you ready to knock Polly out tomorrow?" He asks, rubbing my shoulders. I take a sip of water. I have twenty-three wins and no losses.

    Denver, ColoradoOne Year LaterKrystal's P.O.V.I look at six-month-old Johan sleeping soundly in his crib. It's been a year since I met Simon, and he changed my life. When I first moved, I had culture shock; I didn't realize how different New Zealand was from other places. After my heat, we found out I was pregnant with Johan. He looks like me with blonde hair and blue eyes.Mom and Dad flew here to meet their grandson a few months ago. I don't think they wanted to leave, and I wouldn't be surprised if they moved here permanently. I wouldn't mind; I've gotten over the whole, not telling me I'm a freak of nature, thing.I've noticed some changes since being marked. Like the jealousy I have whenever a woman comes near Simon, even those who don't mean any harm. I know he's my mate and he doesn't look at other women like that, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to scratch their eyes out for looking at what's mine. Mom and Dad said I would feel things more deeply, and they were right. M

    Two Weeks LaterKrystal's P.O.V.We pull up in front of my childhood home, and I can't help the feeling of hostility that comes over me. What other lies have I been told? Am I even their daughter? Maybe I was adopted and really born to koala bears. I love koala bears; they look so cute."Are you ready?" Simon asks. We drove from Hastings to Wellington, which took a little over four hours. Not enough time for me to prepare. Over the past two weeks, I've been trying to come to terms with everything and feel better. Phillip deserved what happened. Now, I just need to wrap my head around being a hippogriff. Why does it have that name? It sounds like someone mixed a hippo and a giraffe. That makes me giggle every time I think of it. Whether it's a giraffe head and legs on a hippo body or a hippo head on a giraffe body, either way, it's hilarious."I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be." I see my mom and dad watching from the front porch. It has been too long since I've seen them, yet I don'

    Krystal's P.O.V.My first shift was slightly painful, but not as much as it would have been if I were human. Leila is beautiful. She's almost entirely white with just a few gray spots on her. Once I felt comfortable shifting, we left to see Phillip.I wanted to see him alone first. He acted exactly like I expected. I knew even when he was crying and covered in shit, he couldn't control his mouth. Now, as I stare at him backing away from Leila and Hunter, I can't help laughing. One thing he always used to call me was pathetic. Well, who's pathetic now? Again, for the record, I don't condone violence, but this is well deserved.Hunter stays back while Leila approaches Phillip. He's crying like the piece of shit he is. She lifts her paw, extends her claws, and swipes across his face. He screams in pain as the blood pours all over him."Please stop. I promise I won't hurt Krystal anymore. We can just go home and pretend this never happened. I'll even forgive her for kissing that man in fr
