Bears don’t run in packs. We don’t trust easy. And we don’t lose a trail.
Give me a scent and a head start, and there’s nowhere left to run.

I’ve spent a year chasing a ghost — a leak who bleeds our people to the enemy and never leaves a print.
No scent. No pattern.
The kind of quarry that keeps a tracker awake at night.

Then I catch one careless thread and follow it across a crowded yard — to a slip of a magic-blood wolf with a secret she’s not giving up.
My bear knows her before my head does. Mine.

He doesn’t care that she’s the thing I was sent to cage.
He wants to mark her as his. To take her somewhere high and quiet and keep her there.

So I do.

I tell myself it’s containment. A den, a locked road, time to crack her open.
But the rut comes on like weather, and the woman who won’t give me a straight answer gives me everything else.

Every hour I spend with her, the part of me raised to believe no creature owns another wars with the part that’s already decided she’s never leaving.

She’s lying to me. I can smell it.
And every instinct I’ve got says the mate my bear just claimed is the ghost I’ve hunted for a year.
I’ve staked my life on my nose a hundred times.
I’ve never needed it to be wrong this badly.

I’ve never failed to find what I hunt.
I just didn’t plan on the hunt ending with her under my roof, in my bed, and a target on both our backs.

Bearing the Pack is the thirteenth steamy installment in the DRAGONBLOOD DYNASTY series, and the first with a grizzly at its heart. This shifter paranormal romance delivers enemies-to-lovers heat, fated-mate obsession, forced proximity, a bear tracker who’s never lost a trail, and a magic-blood wolf with everything to lose. Perfect for fans of Suzanne Wright, Nalini Singh, and T.S. Joyce.
