Chapter Four

3:06 p.m. Christmas Day

Anna clicked off the phone and set it down. “I guess Sarah and Soren are out.”

“Yeah?” Todd replied absently. “Or maybe just busy.”

She grinned down at her mate, who was sprawled on the thick carpet with the kids, surrounded by torn wrapping paper and toys. “The kind of busy we were this morning when we missed their call?”

He shot a wry look at her, holding his hands over Ben’s ears. “Shh. Not in front of the kids.”

She laughed and feigned innocence. “Who, me?”

“Yes, you, bear.” His eyes danced over her, bursting with pride.

Goose bumps rose on her arms. The idea that she was a bear shifter still gave her a thrill. Todd had made the transition a smooth one, as had her cousin, Sarah, who’d gone through the process herself just months earlier. The two women phoned almost every day, sharing news about the kids, their lives, and progress as shifters — like the day Anna finally figured out how to scratch her ear with her hind foot, or the first time she’d sniffed her way to wild honey.

“Me, the bear,” Anna said to herself, marveling at the idea.

She’d gone thirty years as a human, but the last few weeks had felt like a rebirth — and not just for her ability to turn into a bear. Her whole life had changed for the better. She had a man — er, mate — she adored. A man who loved, respected, and adored her. They’d adopted the world’s most lovable kids and moved to Montana, her favorite place on earth. The only hard part had been saying good-bye to Sarah and the others at the Blue Moon Saloon, but they’d get to visit soon.

The past six weeks had been a blur because everything had happened so fast. Meeting and falling in love with Todd. Surviving a brutal rogue attack. Discovering that shifters existed. Adopting the kids. All that ought to have thrown her head into a spin, but it didn’t. In fact, she’d never felt as content. Destiny had steered her to a life that surpassed her wildest dreams.

Sure, the kids kept her busy, but God, what a gift she’d been granted. And yes, she’d never faced such a mountain of work in her life, considering everything she and Todd still had to do to establish their new shifter clan. But she’d never been as happy or felt more at home.

Home, Todd agreed, reading her mind.

Anna looked around. The log cabin was small but cozy. There was enough space for a couch, two cribs, and a thick rug in front of the stone fireplace — the first thing her mate had baby-proofed. Other than the living room, they had a tiny kitchenette, a bathroom, and a loft just big enough for a queen-size mattress for her and Todd. That was it. Almost a micro-home, considering their family of four, but it suited her perfectly for the time being. Todd already had plans to build an addition that would double its size, but that was a project for next summer, not the dead of winter.
