Soet that Bears were oain

She struggled to her feet, wincing, unable to put her full weight on her back paw

It wasn’t broken, but it felt badly sprained She nuzzled Alex’s leg as he settled back on all fours He was rizzly She stretched up and licked the underside of his jaw, barely able to reach hiue

Alex’s eyes never left Gary, but the insane growls lessened with her display of affection Now, pure rage was filtered by deterht have been a massacre into an execution She had no doubts that Alex would win

She did have to wonder how many pieces Gary would be in when Alex was done

Bunny stared at the Wolf struggling to his feet Off to his left, he could hear Ryan quickly dispatching the lesser Wolves Noas up to hi when he felt Tabby trying to keep pace He needed her to stand back, let him deal with her attacker, but he couldn’t tell her that in this form He didn’t dare take his eyes off the Wolf Gary would take any advantage he gave hi for the asshole

But Gary would bleed for hi those darting tactics Packs used to bring down large prey, but the shifter was off balance Bunny, thanks to Bear’s gift, knew Gary had banged his head pretty hard and was probably fighting off a concussion That, added to the ribs he’d cracked when he hit the tree, werehim slower and much clumsier than he’d been when he’d faced Tabby and Julian

Sharp claws, flashing teeth, flying fur, and the smell of blood assaulted her senses The battle was joined for real Each shifter tried his best to savage the other, Gary fighting for his life, Alex fighting for his mate and the life of her friend

The two Wolves who had come with Gary were down, defeated by Ryan in such a short a it was taking Alex to finish the battle The two Wolves who’d shadowed Gary’s everythere naked and pathetic, covered in dirt and blood and tears

They were babbling, begging the huge grizzly for mercy

Ryan chuffed at the powers of the Bears and hoped he’d be able to help him Because she could hear Julian’s heartbeat, and it was slowing down
