Bear With Me

Sully
One walk in the woods changed the course of my life forever.
I’d seen strange things before, but learning the man I’m falling for can shift into a bear topped them all. I should have been afraid of him, but I felt something a whole lot worse than fear.

Curiosity.
He’s the only person I’ve ever known to be immune to my gift. The only person whose thoughts I can’t hear. Everything from his claws to his glare is dangerous, but I don’t care.
I want to know more.

Declan
I’ve never wanted to claim anyone as much as I wanted to claim her.
She’s the picture of innocence.
Young. Naïve. Sweet.
Everything I’m not.

I should know better than to give in to my baser animal instincts. Doing so has gotten me into trouble before. But when it comes to her, I can’t seem to control myself.
I want to ruin all those sweet parts of her, make her mine.
She thinks she’s safe with me.
That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
