Is this actually happening? She didn\u2019t realize she\u2019d sunk to her knees until she felt the coldness of the snow beginning to soak through her clothes. She knew she should get up, but right now, she just wasn\u2019t sure she had the strength. Everything Declan had said was true. Everything he\u2019d told her about him being able to change into a unicorn wasn\u2019t a joke after all \u2013 it was real.<\/p>\n

So I guess everything else must be too, Callie thought, lightheaded. About how this town was founded for unicorns to live in. About Joanne and Laura being unicorns as well. She shook her head, feeling her heart beating like a drum in her chest. But what does all of that really mean?<\/p>\n

Did it mean that she, as an ordinary human, wasn\u2019t welcome here? Declan had said unicorns thought the outside world was dangerous \u2013 and after everything that had happened to her, Callie was honestly inclined to agree. \u201cI \u2013\u201d she started, before realizing she had absolutely no idea what to say. What did someone talk about with a unicorn? As if sensing both her speechlessness and her inability to get up under her own power, the unicorn \u2013 Declan \u2013 made its way slowly over to her, golden hooves tapping on the cobblestones beneath the light covering of snow.<\/p>\n

Slowly, gently, as if testing her reaction, the unicorn stretched out its neck, nuzzling its velvety nose against her shoulder. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2013 it\u2019s okay, I\u2019m not scared,\u201d Callie said, her words coming out in a rush. She\u2019d meant it to reassure Declan, but to her surprise, she found that the words were true.<\/p>\n

She really wasn\u2019t scared, even if she was, well, surprised. But somehow, I still know it\u2019s Declan in there, she thought, as, half- unconsciously, she lifted her hand to rub her mittened fingers over his nose. Somehow, it\u2019s still him. The unicorn let out a soft, whickering sound, warm breath passing by her cheek, and Callie broke out into a laugh she couldn\u2019t have held back if she tried. This all seemed so unreal. \u201cOkay,\u201d she said through her laughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, I believe you \u2013 you\u2019re a unicorn shifter. I get it. Can you like\u2026 talk in that form, or do you have to be a human to answer a few questions?\u201d The unicorn snorted a little, stamping the ground with one hoof. She supposed that was the answer to her question \u2013 while he was a unicorn, he could only communicate in more horsey ways.<\/p>\n

This book stands alone. However, it\u2019s the third in the heartwarming Shifters for Christmas series, featuring agents of the Shifter Patrol Corp and their mates. Each book features a new couple. If you\u2019d like to read the series in order, the first three books in the series are: A Griffin for Christmas (Rowan and Emilia\u2019s book) A Dragon for Christmas (Garrett and Georgia\u2019s book) A Hippogriff for Christmas (Beau and Annie\u2019s book) Or you can buy all three books here, in one convenient collection!: Shifters for Christmas Collection One 1kitap1.com\/en T C H A P T E R 1 here were thirty-seven steps between his desk and his boss\u2019s door, and Declan Reed counted each one as he made his way along the corridor.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t usually the type to take notice of these kinds of things. But in this instance, it was the last time he was ever going to take this particular walk, and every single step he took was carrying him closer to the end of his time here, away from his unicorn clan, living in the human world he\u2019d come to love so much.<\/p>\n

Twenty-four steps left. Declan had always known this time would come \u2013 that had been part of the agreement he\u2019d made with his clan, after all. Unicorns were secretive, mistrustful of outsiders, even other shifters. They hid themselves away in magically warded enclaves, shunning the outside world as much as they could, though in these modern times it wasn\u2019t possible for them to shut themselves away entirely.<\/p>\n

Declan himself had grown up hearing stories about the human world from his uncle, who\u2019d lived and worked amongst humans when he was young. When he was older, his father had taken him down from the mountain where their unicorn clan lived, to show him the world of humans \u2013 to show him how much better off unicorns were to simply have as little to do with them as they could. Humans are bad news, Declan, his father had told him.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no reason for us to want to get involved with them \u2013 nor any shifter that has anything to do with them. I know a lot of shifter types have compromised over the years, and decided to live with humans, try to be more like them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
