It's not that Angelle didn't want a mate, it's just that she's always thought it wasn't in the cards for her. And that was okay, because being alone is what's always made her most comfortable. She's never been at ease around anyone but her immediate family, and even then it was too much some times. She's always been a little different from everyone in her shifter clan, and not just because she was human. She's never quite belonged -- anywhere. She passed her days camping, fishing, reading, sketching -- those were her ideas of a good time. Sure, if the right person ever came along, who knew? But she wasn't fooling herself... it was unlikely she'd ever find any male that would not be bored out of his mind on meeting her. Shifters needed excitement, they needed fire and passion. And none of those things described her.

Alone. That's all she'll ever be.

Boon has spent all his life wishing for a mate, even as a young male. Now a mature Gargoyle he's sullen and resentful, he's tired of waiting. None of the females in his generation are his mate, and he's got no chance of going out to find her wherever she is. He's obviously not human -- horns, wings, exaggerated musculature, silver hair and skin. So, he spends his days hunting, fishing, and camping -- it's the only thing keeping him sane. But still his loneliness eats away at him. Once, years ago, his sister, who has a unique gift for seeing the future, told him he did indeed have a mate, and to be patient. Those same words were told to him not too very long ago by his niece. So, he hoped and he waited. No more, though. He no longer believes. His patience is gone, his hope is long dead.

Alone. He'll live his entire life alone.

Boon's niece is newly mated and bringing a new life into the world. She's supported by her mate and his shifter clan, but she wants her family there, too. When they arrive with Boon in tow, her mate's family already fills her home as they celebrate the birth of the new baby. Boon moves to the far side of the room to try to keep to himself. Just as he begins to privately struggle with too many people in the house, the front door opens and more arrive. An imposing male leads the way; his daughter follows him, her eyes cast down at the floor, her shoulders drooping. He feels sorry for the girl, recognizing in her posture the feeling that keeps her hiding in plain sight. But when she raises her head to quickly scan the crowd, her eyes pass briefly across him -- and he feels it. Their eyes lock. She flashes a quick smile. His eyes widen in shock as his heart thunders in his ears. With one smile this little human female caused all the fire and passion he's ever dreamed of to flare to life.

He's found her!
