Beckett shoved his way out of Deep Hollow's small, solo grocery store, hauling his several shopping bags to his truck. His bear rumbled and grumbled and itched beneath his skin. He knew his eyes would be glowing with the strong emotions racing through him. He'd been wearing sunglasses all day, even inside every store he'd entered. Those who knew him, which was to say the whole town, knew it meant he was probably having problems controlling his bear. As usual. Despite the fun of the tree-lighting ceremony last night, how he’d been there and been calm and easy and kept smiling like some happy lunatic, today everyone kept out of his way. Aside from the cue of his sunglasses, he knew his irritation just poured off of him, and every townie could sense it. Anger, aggression, and a bizarre restlessness were his vibe today, and that made him dangerous.

Restless. That was what Pix had called herself, at least one of the things she'd mentioned. One thing she hadn't said, he thought as his strides began to speed up, was that she was a dragon shifter. A fucking dragon shifter. What the damned fuck. Her eyes, all bright silver with the slitted irises, had chased him all last night, through his dreams, and all this morning. He'd found his way back to his cabin on all fours, shifting into his furious, roaring bear as soon as he was out of the town proper and in the woods. He'd been so afraid he might actually go after Pix in his bear shape he'd had to run from her.

Like a giant fucking coward. A furious, hurt one.

How the hell could she have not told him she was a shifter? Worse yet, how could he not have realized it? Sure, dragons didn't have a scent to pick up. He'd known that, but he'd never really thought about it before because he didn't know that many dragon shifters. They stayed as guests up at the Silvertip Lodge sometimes, just like every other shifter type that existed, but Beckett didn't work at the Lodge, and he didn't spend a ton of time there. There was a lone dragon shifter who lived in town, but he kept to himself even more than Beckett did.

His steps pounded even faster on the parking lot that still had patches of snow here and there despite the best clearing efforts of the grocery store staff. He'd been so enthralled with Pix, with how funny she was. How badass, how interesting, how totally—herself. He grunted under his breath. Herself. She was herself, but she had a part of herself that she hadn't wanted to share with him. His bear roared, twitching under Beckett's skin.

And why the fuck he gave a fuck was beyond him. Bang 'Em Beckett, that's the name, he thought savagely to himself as he tossed his groceries into the back of his truck. Except this time, he hadn't even had a chance to bang her yet.

But fuuuck him, how he still wanted to do just that.
