Chapter Fourteen – Saffron

Shifters were most definitely a thing. She knew because she’d witnessed Mac disappear from this world and a bear take his place.

Yet still, she hardly dared believe it until she reached out and placed her hand on the bear’s thick fur. Her fingers entwined with the silver-tipped hair and she pushed deeper into the pelt until she touched the warm body underneath. The bear shivered and turned his head to look at her.

“Hi there.” Her forehead wrinkled. “I’m not sure what I’m supposed to call you.”

Mac’s bear looked back at her with unblinking eyes. She can call me whatever she wants, and I’ll come running, the bear replied in his head.

You’re besotted, Mac replied.

So what if I am? the bear answered. I’m not the only one.

Mac could not argue with his other side, however, he was ready to take back control so that he could talk to Saffron. He needed to know she was okay with everything.

She certainly looks okay, his bear answered as their mate buried her face in his thick fur and hugged him.

“He’s like a big teddy bear,” Jonas announced.

“I won’t be like a big teddy bear,” Wes insisted. “I’ll be ferocious and roar and growl and show my teeth and if you annoy me then I will claw you.”

“No, you won’t,” Nina said, although there was no real force behind her statement.

Mac’s bear swung his head around and looked menacingly at Wes. That is not how bears behave.

He can’t hear you, Mac reminded him.

Then you can tell him. Mac’s bear let go of the world around him and his mate and let their human side return.

“Wow, that is so cool!” Jonas said in awe as Mac placed his hands on his hips and looked down at Wes. He gave the boy a long stare before he glanced at Saffron.

She gave him a brief nod and glimpsed sideways at Wes. “I think Mac is about to give you your first lesson on being a bear shifter.”

“I am,” Mac said as he stepped closer to Wes, but he didn’t aim his words directly at the teenager, he needed both the boys to understand. “As a bear shifter, you have to keep control. You have to learn to respect your other side because if you don’t then it can get you into trouble.”

Wes swallowed hard and looked out into the forest, ignoring Mac’s advice.

Tell him about Lim, his bear said.

“My brother Beck went traveling this last year and met a young man named Lim. When Lim met his mate, she was married.” Mac felt uncomfortable telling this story, but he hoped to make Wes understand the need to keep his temper in check.

“His mate was already married?” Nina asked in surprise.

“She was. Her husband wasn’t a nice man.” Mac didn’t elaborate on how he used to hit his wife. “And Lim tried to help his mate but got into a fight with the other guy. The other guy wound up dead. And Lim is in prison.”

“He killed a guy?” Jonas’s eyes widened.
