Chapter 20

“I’m fuckin’ going to kill you, Bear,” a low voice echoed as Lex forced herself from dreamland.

She opened her eyes to see Kellach peering down, his black eyes blazing, his hand gentle and wrapped around hers. “What?” she asked, tasting soot.

“I have you, Alexandra,” he said, smoothing her hair from her forehead, his soft tone a direct contrast to the fury all but cascading off him.

She shook her head and winced. “Ouch.” Slowly, she glanced around a typical office. Desk piled high with papers, computer, copier, guest chairs, and a sofa. The smell of motor oil and smoke was strong.

Smoke.

She shoved herself up to sit. Dizziness attacked her, and she shut her eyes, her free hand pressing against her forehead. Memories flashed behind her eyelids. Holy shit.

She opened her eyes and slowly turned to see Bear leaning against the far wall, his arm in a sling, bruises across his jaw.

“You shot me,” he said mildly.

She blinked. “I was falling.”

“I know. How’s your head?” He fingered a bandage above his right eyebrow.

She gulped and shook her head. “You’re a bear.”

“Yep.” He smiled. “Though it was nice of you to try and protect me.”

How in the hell was any of this even possible? She turned toward Kell, who remained protectively close. “Bear turned into a bear,” she said slowly.

Kell slid an arm around her shoulder and tucked her into his side. “He’s a bear shifter.”

“Shifter? Shifters exist.” She shook her head. “Witches and shifters.”

“Oh my,” Bear said, straight faced.

Kell threw him a look. “We have feline shifters, wolf shifters, and multi-shifters.”

She shook her head. Pain clamored between her temples. “But he’s a bear shifter.”

“Aye.” Kell ran gentle fingers over her scalp, touching a bump at the top of her head that might get him shot. “Sorry. Multi-shifters used to be able to shift into anything, mainly bear, but now most bears can’t turn into anything but bears. I haven’t seen a multi in centuries.” He turned toward Bear and lifted an eyebrow.

Bear shook his head and winced, touching his bandage. “I don’t know any bear shifter who can shift into anything but bear. If you ask me, multies are extinct, and we’ve all evolved into bears.” He sighed and leaned his head back, shutting his eyes. “We’re the next generation, baby.”

Kell rolled his eyes. “Why are witches attacking you?”

Bear focused again. “We were approached a week ago, via a burner phone, to distribute Apollo, and we said no. I think this was a second request.”

“I knew a witch was behind this,” Kell muttered. “Any idea who they work for or who approached you?”

“No clue.” Bear slid to the side as the door opened.

Garrett and then Logan, both wearing clean clothes, gingerly strode inside.

“We wanted to check on Alexandra,” Garrett said.

She eyed the boys and their innocent expressions. “Did you two fight the witches in the delivery truck?”

“Hells ya,” Logan said, high-fiving Garrett.

She gave them her strongest cop expression, and they sobered instantly. “Are you two witches as well?”

“No, ma’am,” Garrett said softly.
