Excerpt from Cat’s Choice

Prologue

Jordan, of course, knew about shifters. Her family was wolves. She had been so jealous when she was younger and her brothers had been able to shift because she had to sit and watch. Her parents explained to her that she was their daughter no matter what, but they weren’t her natural parents. She would have known anyway, she looked nothing like anyone in the family. They all had light colored hair, blond or brown, she had red hair. It was thick and long, she sometimes wished she could cut it, but she would never do that. Her mother said it would be a crime, it was wavy and lustrous, and fit her to a tee. Her temper was volatile. She knew the rest of her attributes weren’t exactly picture perfect. She was short and was raised by shifters who could eat anything without gaining weight. She struggled. Her voluptuous form was attractive to some shifters, but to humans she was overweight.

She had gone through a rebellious stage when she thought she had no family. No one had wanted her; she was abandoned at a construction site for God’s sakes. She thought if she were changed over to a shifter, then she would belong. Her parents argued with her for days about it. They finally decided that when she turned twenty-one if she still wanted to become wolf, they would change her.

She finally settled down and made sure they thought she was responsible enough to handle such a burden. For days before her birthday, she planned what she would do first. Her mother sat her down and explained the process. She asked that her mother change her.

Her parents were Alphas of the Northwestern Pack. They claimed the territory years ago when her father and mother went on their honeymoon in Europe. While there, something triggered in them and they found themselves turning. Even dormant, their wolves had found their mate. Thank goodness, her mother told her, she would have hated to be mated to anyone other than her mate. That was years ago. When they returned from their vacation, a member of the European Council contacted them and sent someone to help them with their transition. They were declared Alphas and so they started their pack with the European Council’s permission.

They were the most powerful wolves in the North. Her father took over his father’s construction business. He built it into a huge money making venture. He was happy when his sons decided to follow in his footsteps. But her mother longed for a daughter. She had four sons and finally gave up. She admitted that her life was full and happy, but she felt like something was missing. That something was her—at least that’s what her mother said.

When her father found her on his construction site one cold morning and brought her home, her mother said it was as if she had found the missing piece of herself. She had been thrilled. She knew that Jordan was human and would have to be told about their nature, but she told her father she didn’t care.

They had to get permission from the authorities to be able to keep her. Jordan was happy that they did. She wouldn’t trade anything in this world for her parents and brothers. Even if they were a pain in the ass sometimes.

On the day she turned twenty-one, she had gotten up early. She had been so excited. Through breakfast, she babbled incessantly about being changed. Her mother and father had looked at her with amusement. When the time finally came, her mother explained once again what was going to happen. Jordan had been so excited. They went to her room and her mother had helped her get comfortable on the bed.

Jordan only thought about the night she would be able to run with her family. She nodded to her mother who bit her on the shoulder. It had hurt, and Jordan had cried out, but her mother had said that it would fade when the shifter’s enzyme took over. They waited for hours and nothing happened. Her mother had been so upset; she had caused her daughter pain and for some reason hadn’t changed her.

Next, her father had tried, still nothing. They had called and talked to several other Alphas and none of them had heard of not being able to change a human. Jordan had been forlorn. She had refused to come out of her room for a week. It took her brothers promising to try to figure something out to get her from her room. But after all that time, still nothing. Jordan had pulled back from her family, they hadn’t been happy about it, especially her mother.

Jordan felt alone once again in her life. She went through a depression until finally her parents had confronted her about her mood. She cried and explained to them the way she was feeling, her mother had taken her in her arms and assured her that no matter what she would always be their daughter.

Jordan went to college to become a business manager. She now negotiated deals with some of the largest companies in the world. Her mother told her she was too wrapped up in her job, but that didn’t matter. She wanted to feel like she was a part of the family. She had taken over the main office so her father could take time off.

When her brothers were asked to go to Denver and help build the New Council compound, she had been jealous and very happy. When her brother, Sid, called to say he had found his mates and they were both one of the Chosen, she had been in shock. She wanted to go right away and meet them, but her parents kept thinking of reasons for her not to go.

She talked to her brothers almost daily, and recently something was going on. They had been very worried about her. All they asked is what she was doing after work and whom she was hanging out with. Like she had a personal life, she laughed to herself. Since going to college and getting her degree, she had focused solely on making her place in the family. Her father was proud of her, she knew that, but she felt like she had to do better than anyone did in order to hold her place.

Her phone rang and she sighed when she looked at the clock. It was one of her brothers calling again to check in. Her mother had asked her to come to the house this weekend for dinner. Not unusual, but weird because she actually called to make sure she was going to be there. Jordan didn’t have a good feeling about what was going on. She was wondering if one of her brothers was coming home and taking her job. Maybe that was why they were all acting so weird.

Hello. Jordan Grey, she said into the phone just in case it was someone else.

Hey, girl, her brother, Sid, said into the phone.

She rolled her eyes and smiled. Sid, I’m fine. Just finished up my work and am going to be heading home. No, I will not stop anywhere and no, I’m not meeting anyone. Just me and the cat at home! she said into the phone and stood up to get her bag together.

Sid chuckled in her ear and then said, How did you know I was calling to check up on you? Maybe I need something for the building sites, he teased. And you don’t have a cat. Mom and Dad would freak if they thought you did.

I know you don’t need anything ‘cause you would never have called me. It would have been Brian. As for the cat, maybe I will get one. After all, I think that’s what I’m turning into, the neighborhood cat lady. The woman across the hall assured me that cat food is on sale at the store. Maybe I should take her up on the kitten she wants to give me, Jordan teased.

Old Lady Morgan? Don’t you dare, she has so many cats that they would probably all escape to your house if you got food. Sid laughed and said, You going to Mom and Dad’s for dinner this weekend?

Why is everyone asking me that? Have I ever missed dinner at the folk’s house? I swear, you are all turning into worry-warts. Yes, I will be there with bells on, Jordan said grumpily into the phone.

She heard her brother sigh, he didn’t laugh, which made her frown a little. Sid was never this serious. What’s going on? Are Mom and Dad okay? Are they sick? Is that what they want to tell me? she said hurriedly into the phone.

No, Jordan, our parents are fine, Sid said softly.

Then what? Don’t leave me hanging, bro, she said into the phone and then sat back down at her desk.

Nothing, I was just making sure you were going. Do me a favor and call me when you are done. Okay? Sid said quietly.

"Fine, if you don’t want to tell me I don’t care. I will call like always on Sunday night. Make
