Riker assessed Francis as he went, the feral need to claim his mate surging through him. The other man was unusually tall, but Riker bet his bear had nothing on Riker’s. He strode toward them, envisioning his next moves in his mind. Knocking out Francis with one left to the jaw, picking Ana up, carrying her back to the cabin.

He was almost to them, determined to beat some bear ass, when he stopped abruptly, looking into Ana’s wide green eyes.

Was she scared of him? What was he even doing here?

Francis stood, placing himself between them, and Riker felt anger explode inside him, mixing with helplessness in a way that was hard to take.

Riker hated feeling helpless more than anything in the world.

“Get back,” he snarled, feeling he was choking on his own animal rage.

Francis just stood firm, his face calm. He was a professional fighter, maybe the kind Riker or his brothers could have become if they’d not had such a bad introduction to violence. “I can’t do that. Not until you calm down, brother.”

“Not your brother,” Riker choked out, feeling claws dig into his palms. Don’t shift. Don’t shift. He closed his eyes, tried to think of something calming. All that came was her soft body in his arms, beneath him, creamy and glowing, her eyes warm with lust, lips curved with pleasure.

He opened his eyes to see Francis still in front of her and saw red. He charged forward and caught the other man in a grapple, knocking him to the ground as Rock pulled Ana out of the way.

Francis was dodging his blows, trying not to fight back, which only made Riker angrier. He was his dad. He was losing control. He was letting emotions rule him.

He tried to pull back, tried to see through the haze of red making it so hard to think. Then he felt arms around his neck. Soft, feminine arms with surprising strength.

“Riker, stop!” The voice was Ana’s.

His blood slowly calmed, his bear retreating because his mate would be in danger if he couldn’t think clearly.

She pulled on him, and he stepped back, off Francis, and turned to face her.

But she ran past him and knelt by Francis, helping him sit. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry.”

What the fuck? What should she be sorry to Francis for?

“He was helping me,” she spat at Riker, green eyes blazing with anger. “What the hell were you thinking?”

He scratched the back of his head, wondering the same thing as the anger faded, leaving only cold, sore jealousy in its wake. Her arms around him had somehow calmed his bear in a way nothing else ever had.

“What is wrong with you?” Ana asked. “He’s just a friend!”

Riker felt defensiveness well up in him. “You did this on purpose. You wanted to make me jealous because I wouldn’t give in to the affair you wanted.”

Uh-oh. Even he knew he’d put his foot in it with that zinger.

Ana’s eyes narrowed, flashing dark green. “Oh, I did, huh? Me
