Chapter 8

"Ian!" I call out as I get closer to him.

He stops walking, and when he turns to me, I discover he's glaring.

I take a moment to catch my breath. "What's wrong?"

"I know what you wanted to talk to me about last night." Anger lurks in his eyes. "Didn't you think you should have mentioned you have a family? I just saw the car seats."

"That's what I was coming to tell you about."

"Don't bother. I get it now. You found someone else, and that's why you didn't come back. Only now that it's not working out, you've come back to lick your wounds, but I'm not going to be that guy." Pain clouds his face.

"Someone else?" I shake my head. "Ian, no. I—we have twin girls. Sadie and Sophie turned four in March."

He blinks as his mouth opens. "I'm a father? Of twins?"

I smile. "You are, and they're so precious, Ian. I can't—"

"Hold on. When you left here five years ago, you were pregnant with my children?"

I nod as his nostrils flare, and my stomach knots up when I realize he's angry.

"Five. Years!" His chest heaves as he opens and closes his mouth a few times. He finally finds words. "You didn't think you ought to tell me?"

"I wasn't sure if—"

"You can't control people's lives like that, Elise!" He clenches his hands in fists as he turns away from me.

"Ian! Let me explain."

He turns around and lets out a low growl that makes me take a step back. "Nothing you can say will make what you did okay, Elise. I—" He swallows hard, and I notice hair is sprouting on his face like I've seen happen to my daughters just before they shift. "I can't talk to you about this right now."

I watch in amazement as he strips off his clothes and shifts into a bear right in front of me. But he's not a cute, cuddly cub. He's massive. The ground shakes under my feet as he runs off into the woods. I stare after him until he's in the cover of the trees. What I just saw did shock me, but it should have scared the hell out of me too. I was within feet of a very large animal with big teeth and claws that could slice my body to shreds with one swipe. And I think Ian might have been angry enough to do it. But I wasn't afraid. I was awestruck.

I walk over to Ian's clothes. Peace has settled over me even though I should be upset that Ian is so angry. The cotton of his shirt is soft in my fingers as I pick it up and inhale his scent before I begin to fold it. I wonder if his fur would be as soft as the girls' feels. I shiver a little before I bend down and pick up his pants to fold too.

I'm on the bank of the river, and I'm looking for Ian. I can't find him, but the ground vibrates beneath my feet, and it makes me turn around to see a bear lumbering toward me.
