CHAPTER ELEVEN

Ethan

LOOKING AROUND the room, my bear seems satisfied that he’s put a stop to any threat and he slowly allows me to gain control again. As soon as I shift back, I yell out. “Amelia.”

Swinging my head around, it takes me only a moment to realize she isn’t here. Looking towards Eli, a shoot him a questioning glance, but all the fucker does is shrug his shoulders. I should have known better than to trust him to keep her safe.

Standing naked in front of everyone, I point to Marissa. “Take her to the cell below town hall. I’ll deal with her as soon as I find my mate.”

Not waiting for a reply, I run out the door and use my heightened senses to follow Amelia. It takes only a few minutes of traipsing through the forest behind the house, before I find her hiding behind a fallen tree. Focusing on her nearly hidden form, I notice immediately that she is shaking like a leaf. Taking a tentative step towards her the leaves crunch beneath my bare feet alerting her of my presence. Swinging her head in my direction, the look of relief that crosses her face is almost enough to bring me to my knees.

“Ethan?” She asks, causing me to smile as my bear rolls around inside of me damn near giddy with relief.

Walking over to her, I ask her to get up. “I’m not gonna hurt you. Just please get up and let me try to explain all of this to you.”

She stays frozen in her hiding place, but looks up to meet my eyes. “I’m not coming out. I’m not in the mood to talk right now. I need time to think.”

Crossing my arms over my bare chest, I try again. “I’m not gonna leave you out here alone, so you may as well just talk to me.”

I can hear her heart pounding as she screams. “You became a bear Ethan! A real live fucking bear. Hell, was the man who married us is coyote? Perhaps one of our guests is cougar. How is any of this even possible?”

“I’ll explain, if you’ll just give me a chance,” I growl out, reaching down and pulling her out of her hidey-hole. She tries to fight me, but I slap her tight ass and cradle her in my arms. “Stop it, before I drop you.”

Once she makes contact with my bare skin, her eyes go huge. “You’re naked.”

Chuckling, I sit down at the foot of an old oak tree and hold her securely in my lap. “I am always naked after I shift.”

The word shift makes her eyes flare, as if she had forgotten about my bear. She studies my face, before saying. “What are you? I’ve heard of werewolves, but never werebears.”

I let out a little chuckle, before replying. “We’re called shifters, not weres. That’s a name people made up for fairy tales. We’re not the monsters you’ve been told about all your life. We’re just people that also happen to be part animal.
