CHAPTER 10
“Let her go! Please!” the bear mother pleaded running over to her daughter.
“I wasn’t goin’ to hurt the little rascal, Ms…?”
“Beth,” she said, holding out her arms to try to grab at her daughter hovering over her head.
“And, who might you be?” the biker asked holding the girl close to his face.
She reached out with her tiny hands and played with his beard. The biker laughed loudly and tickled at the child’s cheek.
“Greta,” Beth said, “her name is Greta.”
“I’m Crunch,” the biker said into Greta’s tiny face.
“Crunch, may I please have my daughter back?” Beth asked, exasperatedly.
Crunch looked down at the woman with a smile that covered his entire face while lowering Greta into Beth’s welcoming arms.
“Still, who the hell let bears into my camp, no matter how cute they are,” Crunch asked, straightening his clothes as he stood to his full height. He was a whole head taller than Connor, and probably weighed twice as much.
“I did,” Connor said, stepping forward.
“And who the hell are you?” Crunch asked.
“He’s my boyfriend,” Tess said.
“Can someone relevant tell me who these people are?” Crunch was getting frustrated.
“That’s my sister, Tess. This moron is Connor,” Alex said, pointing at Connor, “He’s the leader of my old pack.”
“Why did you bring ‘em here?” Crunch wondered.
“They were on the run from the hunter,” Alex said, “I couldn’t just let them get shot on the road.”
Crunch sighed and motioned to the silver haired man to his right.
“Scab, get a fire goin’. It’ll be cold soon and with children around we should probably get something cooking. There’s a lot I need to hear.”
Scab hopped to it and before long the fire raged in the middle of the clearing and the smell of fresh barbecue wafted about the camp, causing everyone’s mouths to water. Connor and Alex joined Crunch by the fire to chat. The large biker settled himself into his favorite place on his tree stump while Alex sat to his left on a fallen log. Connor stood with his arms crossed on the other side of the roaring fire.
“So you’re seriously thinking about going into the bear den to talk to their alpha? What do you think that’ll accomplish except for your early death?” Crunch scratched his head as he spoke, trying to make sense of it all.
“What else am I supposed to do? There are people fighting and dying and the least I could do is try to talk some sense into the one person who could end it,” Connor urged.
“See what I mean?” Alex said, breathing a heavy sigh.
“Listen, Connor. This guy was willing to rally every bear on the mountain to his cause so he could wipe out all the wolves. Anyone capable of doing something as crazy as that isn’t interested in talking,” Crunch continued.
“But, he talked to me and Alex after the last fight ended,” Connor said.
“For what? To gloat about his win? Why did he start the fight if all he came to do was talk?” Alex shouted.
“Alex is right, though.
