Free Bearing Secrets by Marissa Dobson

intruded on her thoughts. “Remember, I
want a laptop so I can get back to work.”
    “What is it you’re working on,
my angel?” Trey kissed along her shoulder, working his way to the nape of her
neck.
    “Before my life got tossed in
a blender on high, I was putting together a proposal of why there should be a
group of shifters banding together to keep law and order.”
    Turi smoothed her hair out of
her face. “What is your reasoning behind it?”
    “An organization like this
will make sure that what happened in Ohio and Texas does not happen again.” She
rubbed her hand along his naked hip. “I’m sure there’re other things I don’t
know that are happening that should be stopped.”
    “My sweet angel thinks having
a bunch of shifter cops is going to stop it.” Trey nibbled her neck.
    She couldn’t figure out if he
was impressed or just thought she was crazy. Either way, it was her project and
she was putting it together with or without their support. Someone had to agree
with her. “What I think is people need to be saved.”
    “You think people are just
going to talk about what is happening to them?” Turi leaned up on his elbow and
looked down at her. “The clan members who were suffering weren’t screaming for
help. We only found out about Texas because Adam brought Tex back to Alaska
after an attack on them.”
    “Who would be in charge of these…police?”
Turi questioned.
    “Why not Tabitha? As we speak,
she’s gaining control over the tigers and eventually she’ll control other
shifters. She’s the perfect choice.”
    “You think the other shifter
groups that aren’t tigers are going to be willing to have her as the complete
ruler?” Turi’s hand paused on her cheek.
    “I know it would be hard, but
something needs to be done. If we’re going to live among humans, we need to
control ourselves, that means we need one organization to keep everyone
in line. Tabitha is that person, but she needs people to go out and enforce
it.”
    “I like how you think.” Trey
nuzzled against her. “Turi, that’s along the same lines as why I wanted to do
the forum.”
    She rolled onto her back enough
that she could look at Trey who lay behind her. “Forum?”
    “About a year ago, Turi and I
discussed starting an online forum. It would be buried deep enough that humans
wouldn’t be able to find it, but it would be a place for shifters to be able to
socialize, get help with their problems, and we’d be able to monitor it for any
crimes being committed against our kind.”
    “That’s a marvelous idea, why
don’t you do it? I could add it into my proposal as another way of monitoring
things.”
    “She’s right about the forum.”
Turi nodded. “After you two fell asleep last night I started thinking about it.
We could make a difference with it, and it could be used to help Tabitha
communicate with the other Alphas. The possibilities of the good it could do
are endless.”
    “I’d like to help in any way I
can.” She took their hands in hers. “We’ll make a good team.”
    “We already are.” Turi tipped
his head toward Trey. “You’ve reminded me that though Trey and I are twins
we’re different people. Each of us have our own way of dealing with things, and
even though I prefer things done my way, he’s not half bad. We each have our
strengths and that’s what we need to focus on.”
    Trey glanced at her before
looking back at his brother. “What are you saying?”
    “Help with the sleuth as you
can and when you’re needed but I think you should focus on the forum, and I’ll
help you with what you need. Each of us playing to our strengths will make us a
better team.”
    “Are you sure?” The surprise
was clear in Trey’s voice.
    “Yes.” Turi leaned down and kissed
Ivy’s forehead. “Later I want you to finish the proposal. My laptop is in my
office. Feel free to use it, and if I can be of any assistance let me know.”
    “You said later, what did you
have in mind for
