Chapter Three

“What’s happening to me?” Even though she had just orgasmed twice, Shae could feel her desire rising once more. “I feel as if I’m changing somehow.”

He opened and kissed the back of her hand. “Have you ever felt different from other people?”

“What do you mean?”

“Hated crowds and cities. Preferred to be alone.” He studied her face for a moment before continuing. “Able to withstand the cold and have a love of seafood?”

“Yes, but I don’t see how that—”

He got off the bed and walked a short distance away. “You feel different because you are different,” he said over his shoulder.

“I don’t understand.”

He turned to face her. “You feel as if you don’t belong, because you don’t. Not with them.”

“Them?”

“Humans.”

“Wait a minute—”

“Don’t freak out.” The air around him began to shimmer and glow a pale yellow.

“What’s going on?”

“You’re safe here.” The familiar voice was in her head, soothing her. She immediate felt a sense of calm. As she watched him raise his hands, her skin tingled and an odd sense of familiarity overcame her.

“What are you . . .?” She stopped when she saw his body elongate, then widen. His skin shimmered, and the fine hairs on his chest and arms lengthened.

“What’s going on?” She pulled the sheets up under her chin and scrambled back toward the headboard.

“Don’t be afraid.” The words rung in her head, clear and true, as the air around him heated. Stubble grew along his jaw and his features started to change. Shae covered her eyes as white and yellow light filled the room. Then, just as soon as it appeared, it was gone.

Shae lowered her arm and stared at the large bear before her. “What the—” She inched back as the bear moved closer to her side of the bed. “Nate, is that you?”

The bear leaned forward and nuzzled her hand. “I am a shifter, as are all of the Natives on this land. We came here seeking refuge from the people who don’t understand us and wish us harm.” The words were crisp and clear in her head, which felt odd, since there was no one else with her. Surely this wasn’t the bear talking to her?

And yet, she knew that it was. The voice sounded like Nathan’s, and it had that same comforting affect over her. She didn’t know how to explain it, but she knew, deep within her bones, that this bear was Nate and he was somehow communicating with her.

She turned her hand over so that the palm was facing up. The grizzly licked it, then rubbed his head against her skin. Shae giggled as the soft fur brushed over her fingertips. There was something very soothing about touching this bear, and the urge to snuggle up with him surprised her.

“Don’t be surprised, little one. You are just recognizing your own kind.”

“My own kind?” She pulled her hand away and gave him a questioning look.

The bear stared at her as Nate’s words filled her mind. “How much do you remember about last night?”

“Not much.
