Poison (2012)
“Travel meant assuming his panther form for long periods, something he'd seldom gotten to do since moving to the city. Being the Royal Voice, he spent most of his time in the palace, where it was rare to see anyone in their shifted forms. It was simply not the done thing.
A lot of things he enjoyed seemed to be not the done thing—though, to be fair, it was more than evened out by being the Royal Voice despite his youth. And even if he had hated absolutely everything else about the royal palace a...nd the city, which he didn't, there was Gael.
He endured the aches that rose up with thoughts of Gael: an ache of longing, an ache of weariness, an ache of resignation. They had been lovers for three years, and all he wanted was to be able to tell everyone. For Gael to tell everyone.
The only thing that kept him from surrendering to the doubts and panic that clawed at him were the dreams. All his life he'd had the dreams. They'd been innocuous when he was a child. Dreams of running through the forest with someone he could not quite see, someone who held his hand, made him smile.MoreLess
