Scarlett

The first rays of sunlight were already beginning to brighten the sky above us. I seriously doubted even my ex was daft enough to miss the countless dragons that had been flying over the land towards the wolves’ territories for the last couple of hours, so I kept darting my eyes around anxiously.

There were a few hundred werebears all together when everything was said and done, mostly women and children, but there were a few males interspersed throughout them, as well.

It seemed like a huge number, but in reality, this was likely all there was left of the Ursidae species, other than the males who had chosen to follow Hunter.  

Irrespective, this whole venture would have been impossible without the dragon’s aid.

Rias had shifted back a while ago, not that I blamed him. I knew he didn’t have any clothing to ward against the elements while we directed the werebears. In any case, Rowan and Eamon were the last two who

    Reese I hated leaving my mate’s side so soon after we returned from our mission, wanting nothing more than to sink my aching cock balls deep into her welcoming wetness, but I was striding away to take care of one of my roles, instead. I knew Scarlett had been drenched for me, even without dipping a digit into her heat as I desperately wanted before I tore myself away with tangible effort. It was a hundred times more difficult to leave her side due to my wolf’s enhanced senses making it evident that she was equally as hungry for the bliss we always found when tangled up in each other, but we didn’t have the luxury of time to fulfill that fantasy at the moment. I had smelled her arousal permeating the air before I forced myself to leave in order to track down Oliver, and it had driven my wolf and I half mad with lust, the taste of her lips lingering on my tongue as I went. Added, I still had the fragrance of wild mountain flower

    Scarlett The following morning, I spent several minutes looking for Mari before I went downstairs for breakfast, but she’d been MIA since she’d met us upon our arrival back into the province yesterday. I found Eamon tottering along down the hallway during my random wanderings, so I’d opted to keep him company instead, striking up a conversation as we made our way to the kitchen to scrounge up some breakfast. We ran into Kyle and Zoey along the way, but they both appeared too engrossed in each other to focus on anything else. I transiently introduced them to Eamon, but I didn’t pester them further, knowing Kyle only had a finite amount of free time at the moment with how busy he’d been as of late working on the serum. I wasn’t sure either one of them would remember meeting the bear shifter later, but I didn’t think Eamon would mind. I observed the perceptive smile gracing his face as we entered the kitchen, and I forgot about t

    Scarlett Reese was striding up to my side as soon as we arrived at the training grounds, blanketing me in his embrace once he was within touching distance, so he heard the tail end of my uncle’s statement. “We’ll work it out kid. You’ve got enough on your plate to worry about for now, and we’re grown adults. You’ve done enough already.” Rowan said kindly, patting me on the back before he set off to join the other males who were already warming up. I remained silent, pondering everything I’d learned today. My uncle’s words were slowly sinking into my psyche, but my mate’s deep voice intruded before long. “Are you all right, sweetheart?” He inquired, disregarding the various people who were waiting on us as he squeezed me tighter into his strong chest like we had all the time in the world. I glanced up to meet his stunning silver orbs, answering, “Yeah, it’s just Logan and Rowan working through their issues.

    Scarlett I stirred in my sleep, something pulling at my consciousness, but the heavy weight of my mate’s arm snug around me and his pine and cinnamon fragrance combatted with whatever it was. Relaxing back into my bliss, I forgot about the momentary intrusion altogether. That was, until the same annoying sound repeated, but this time, it was much closer. The knocking recurred yet again from outside my bedroom door, making it impossible to ignore. Thump, thump, thump! I groaned, already lamenting my morning lost in bed with my true mate, so my mood was surly when I threw the door open a minute later. In any event, my irritated words died on my lips when I saw Ronnie on the other side of the door, and I greeted her with a hug while I heard Reese moving around in the room behind me. “Hey Scar, I figured I’d return the favor.” She smirked, giving me a cheeky grin before she continued, “I was knocking on the front

    Reese Ronnie gave me a subtle thumbs up as she entered the dining room with my mate trailing behind her. Resulting, I breathed a sigh of relief, getting up to embrace Scarlett before she could take her seat next to me. I wasn’t proud to admit it, but I had snuck into the kitchen while she was showering this morning to ask the other she-wolf for a favor before I’d hunted down Ryker. Kyle had earned my trust, but that didn’t change the fact that my other half continued to be exhausted, and I had recently noticed other small things off about her too. I wasn’t sure if it was caused by side effects from the serum or something else entirely, but I was pleased Ronnie had agreed to discreetly check it out, nonetheless. Ronnie’s sign of encouragement allowed me to relax my stiff posture, but a hint of my unease remained after consulting Scarlett and I’s mating bond. The two she-wolves were the last to arrive, and the food was a

    Scarlett The next day and a half seemed to drag by, but it wasn’t for a lack of things to do, that was for damn sure. Reese had been so busy making certain our ducks were all in a row before the bears invaded that we’d hardly had any time for each other. It didn’t help the rogues had begun their guerilla warfare in earnest once more, but I had a feeling my true mate was on to something prior when he’d said their sporadic attacks were a distraction method. My mate and I announced the threat heading our way to our pack members and guests, instructing them of their part in the whole scheme of things, though it mostly boiled down to the visitors staying within the town limits while our warriors helped secure the province.

    Scarlett I was lost to the world after I’d crashed for the night, not even noticing when Reese slithered into the bed beside me, but I did register his abrupt movement as he shot out of bed sometime later. The incessant ringing emanating from the blackness around where I believed the night table was on the other side of the bed indicated what had awoken me from my slumber. Moreover, my mate hurriedly silenced the noise, answering the phone before it completed another loop of the tune he’d set.

    Scarlett About Two Weeks Later… It took a while for everyone to figure out where they wanted to settle once it had finally began to set in that the war was truly over. Of course, I remained in the Western Province with my true mate, but there had been a lot of reshuffling so far, and I was expecting even more in the coming weeks. Travel had been restricted before, but everything was entirely different since Hunter’s and Clarissa’s deaths, and since the disturbing truth about my former friend’s actions had been unveiled. I still couldn’t believe I had never known how warped they were on the inside, but any sadness I may have felt from their passing vanished when I thought about the number of deaths that they were collectively responsible for over the years. Needless to say, I hadn’t seen a shred of the children I’d befriended so long ago since either one of the bears had reentered my life, not that I ha

    Reese It took every ounce of my self-control to remained fixed in place when the earsplitting roar rent the air, but Scarlett hadn’t informed me she was in trouble, so I clawed at the rocky earth beneath my paws until the time was right. I had a clear vision of the field from where I was positioned, my wolf’s superior vision helping in this respect, and I’d ordered my warriors forward the second my mate faltered with the outpouring of bear shifters into the open area, elated the bears had walked right into our trap. I saw Clarissa prowl in the direction of my true mate as our males defended our land. Concern for Scarlett arose to the forefront of my mind, but my eyes alit upon the massive, scarred beast setting his sights on my other half in the next instant. I was aware Rias and his males would arrive at any minute, and I wasn’t losing my one opportunity to repay some of the damage Hunter had inflicted over the years before t
