THE SECRET BEAR DADDY MATES
Jack raised a brow, then narrowed his gaze on me. “I thought there was something familiar about you. What could a princess like you want with Fire and Fluorite?”I had no idea what came over me, but I was up and out of my seat within a half-second, then I was in Jack’s’s personal space in the next half. My hand grabbed hold of his wrist, twisted his arm, and I used the leverage to put him on his ass. “I’m not a fucking princess.”So much for not feeling the need to challenge him.He stared up at me and chuckled. “Noted.”I reached a hand down to help him back up, thankful he hadn’t taken my impulsive move the wrong way, but I was tired of people thinking of me as something that I wasn’t.Jack dusted himself off and shook his head. “All this time and nobody knew you existed. How is that possible?”I shrugged. This guy didn’t need to know anything about me that didn’t pertain to this House. My past was my own and nothing more.“I can only guess, but what good would that do?” I asked. “I

So if I had to get comfortable with a bunch of fucked-up shit really quickly, then that was what I’d do, because walking away wasn’t an option.“We’re more than prepared,” I answered with my chin held high.“Yeah, I’m beginning to see that.” Jack glanced at the four of us and then back at me. “Let’s figure out where we want to begin.”ATLASThe four of us followed Jack to a warehouse-type building. The outside was sided in ribbed metal with rust stains running down intermittently from exposed nail heads. White doors without windows were at the side we approached, and I was hesitant to follow this particular leader inside, but I knew that had nothing to do with him and everything to do with Elena.The more I was around her, the more she talked about being okay with putting herself in danger, the more my need to mark and protect her rose.Elena was mine, but she wasn’t a woman to be claimed easily. Even if I knew she wanted me in return.No, if I was going to make her my mate officially

My body heated, dark-green energy coating my skin as I shifted into my Bear. My body became a blur as I raced toward my mate.Using my Bear’s head, I shoved the second attacker off her and he went flying into the metal side of the building, leaving an indent in the shape of his body before he dropped to the ground.Mark was just finishing with his two men, and I turned to find Atlas standing in the corner with her hands out.I hadn’t realized she wasn’t in the fight, but now I could see that she was in her own way.She stood with each of her hands directed toward the brick walls. A barely visible shimmering energy projected from her palms.My eyes followed the trails of power and they each created a shield, likely keeping more wolf shifters from joining the impromptu attack.It was nice to see she was capable of being something other than an annoyance to me.In the seconds it had taken me to see what was going on around us, Elena had shifted back to two feet, fully dressed, and her ch

Elena moved to stand in front of the unicorn, who wasn’t recovering as quickly as I’d expected her to. “That’s not for us to share. If she’d like to tell you more, then she will. When she wants to.”I could sense Elena’s alpha power rising to the surface, and I wondered if she realized when she did that. Her Bear didn’t seem to like to stand down to anyone. Not even her mate.It was going to be interesting to see how that worked moving forward.Hell, all of this was going to be more thaninteresting.Elena I’d thought Bruno back at the coven in Earth and Emerald was a savage beast when it came to training in the gym, but between Jack and Atlas, I felt as if I knew nothing about my body.Well, I’d at least felt that way when we’d first started training.A week later, I was growing muscles in places where muscles didn’t normally belong, and the charge from my wolf energy made me feel like I was on crack at times. She was ready to claim this land. To take what my sperm donor had destroyed

He chuckled. “Spoken like a true Alpha Supreme.”The way those words made my heart soar had a smile growing on my face. I’d never pictured this life for myself, but damn if I didn’t want it with a fierceness now.I just wish I could know what, exactly, “this life” included.Was it asking Mark and Amy to stay here with me even after all this was over? Was it keeping this bond with Atlas like my initial thoughts wanted? Or was it rejecting him like I thought my Bear wanted?I hadn’t completely shut down the idea that I was possibly meant to do this on my own. Alone for the time being, showing the world who Elena was.Of course, I wouldn’t truly be alone finally belonging to a pack, but without a mate… Picturing that made my stomach churn, and, for the first time, there was a sense of longing from my Bear.Maybe she was finally seeing things from my perspective.Atlas chose that moment to walk inside the house. His dark eyes landed on me first while he closed the door with a soft click.

“Not really,” he answered. “I’d just like to know where my family originated from. Plus, I’ve yet to go to another realm. Really any of them would be interesting to visit.”I doubted that. I’d heard some hellish stories about the other realms and the conflicts within them. At least according to some of the gossiping witches. I was good staying right where I was.Amy smiled widely. “I’d want to go back in time. To the world pre-supernaturals. Maybe back in the 1800s without technology.”I shuddered at that thought. “You’re insane.”“Tell me something I don’t already know.” Her chuckle had my smile growing, then she nodded at me. “What about you?”“Uhhh.” I paused. “I never thought I’d leave Earth and Emerald, so I don’t really know.”“What’s the first thing that comes to mind, even if it makes absolutely no sense?” Mark asked.“Home.” The word left my lips so quickly that I didn’t even realize I’d said it until Amy frowned at me and Atlas cracked his knuckles under the table.Mark reac

I was supposed to be fighting a group of Bears in preparation for challenging the North faction leader named Ryan, but apparently, he’d disappeared. None of Jack’s Bears could find him, which had disappointed me more than I’d expected it to.I was never too sad about private trainings with Atlas, though.After pushing myself up from the ground that was covered in dying grass, I dusted myself off as well as I could. When I’d taken a deep breath, I held my hands up, ready for him to charge at me again.Except this time, he didn’t.Instead, Atlas snapped his fingers, and a ball of flames came racing toward my head.Every muscle in my body might have been screaming at me, but the idea of getting my face burned off sent a wave of adrenaline pulsing through me.I was on the ground in less than a half second with one leg out straight behind me, the other bent at the knee and my hands keeping me in place while my forehead nearly touched the dirt.Instinct kicked in, and instead of asking him

They were holding hands while they walked across the park, coming toward us. Mark had a folder in his grasp, and his eyes so similar to mine sparked with a happiness I’d never known, but I thought maybe I could with my grumpy demon Bear.“What’s going on?” I asked them when I moved around Atlas.Mark answered first. “I finally got my mom to give up the passwords for my dad’s personal computers.”The house where the last acting Alpha Supreme had been staying had been destroyed, and the only access to House records had been on Mathis’s private devices, but getting into them had been difficult. I wasn’t sure Mark would be able to do it after the first couple of failed attempts, but I couldn’t deny I was eager to know what he’d learned.“Did you find Jacob?” Atlas asked first.Mark handed him the file. “I found a Jacob who meets the profile of someone who would want vengeance on Fire and Fluorite, but I can’t be positive yet that he’s the one you’re looking for. This guy is a mangy, older

THE SECRET BEAR DADDY CREATING FAMILY
But the pain was magnified by the look Marigold had given her as Elena washed and dressed her for the last time.It was a look of pure, unadulterated trust.That baby loved you. And you just left her.She still had her keys to her mother’s house, and when Elena walked in, the house was silent and dark.It seemed her mother wasn’t home. She was probably out shopping or with one of her friends.Great, your mother’s got a better social life than you do. Now get it together.Her thoughts had changed.Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she would be strong. She would put herself back together and be happy doing it.Back in her room, Elena unpacked her duffel bag and pulled out her laptop.Then she headed to the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee while she updated her resumé.Elena also considered starting a writing blog where she could post fictional stories about men that turned into bears and wolves. But then she remembered the man who had followed her in Costco.She understood what At
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY HURT
Could this man have been one of the council’s goons? Atlas couldn’t picture any shifter he had ever met from Elena’s descriptions.But then, there were bear shifters all over the United States. Who knew what kind of trash Elias or Callum had called in to take care of Atlas?“I don’t want you going out on your own again,” Atlas found himself saying. His voice was harsher, hotter than he had intended.Elena turned from where she stood at the stove and looked at him with raised brows.Her bright eyes were almost cold. He shuddered. Lyra had never looked at him with anything other than warmth in her eyes.“Excuse me?”Her voice was a whisper.Just then, Marigold started fussing, and Lyra came from the kitchen to pick up Atlas’s daughter.“It isn’t safe for you to go out on your own. We don’t know if that guy who followed you was just a creep or if he was connected to something … else.”Atlas ensured that his voice was gentler, but Lyra still looked incredibly angry.“I’m not someone who l
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY THREATS
Elena spent about two hours trying to fit Mari’s car seat into the backseat of the truck.Then she went back into the cabin to wash and dress Marigold, who she put in a fluffy, yellow onesie.She put a white cap on Mari’s head and matching white woolen booties on the infant’s tiny feet.Not that Marigold was that tiny any longer. The baby was growing faster and faster every day … faster than most babies.Elena had a feeling it had something to do with her bear-shifter genes.Marigold was even outgrowing the clothes that Elena had purchased two weeks earlier.“I’ll stop by the baby care store in town,” Elena whispered to Marigold. She stroked the baby’s cheek once and then lifted her into her arms. “And we’ll get you some new threads.”Elena grabbed her bag on the way out, as well as the Maya wrap Atlas had purchased.She settled Marigold safely into the car seat, strapping her in tightly. Then Elena got into the driver’s seat and turned on the beast of a truck.The engine roared to li
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY DELIVERIES
He wanted to growl, his bear trying to break out, but he held his anger down and frowned at them. "I have a human nanny. Elena is my daughter's nanny."They didn't seem to believe him, and he sighed, waving a hand."Serenity died if you have forgotten, and I have a newborn baby that needs attention. Much more attention than I can give her, mind you. So, I hired a nanny.""You're saying that this nanny that is living in your house hasn't joined you in bed? That's what you're saying? You haven't slept with her?" Devlen asked, narrowing his eyes. He wanted him to admit that he'd mated with Elena, but he wasn't going to."No," he lied, shaking his head. "She is just my nanny. She's what Marigold needs right now. I need an extra set of hands around the house."Devlen scoffed and shook his head. He placed his hand on the table, his words coming out harshly. "I don't believe you. You're lying. She isn't just your nanny, and we are all watching. I'd be careful, Atlas, because all eyes are on
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY CROSS ROADS
Atlas reached for her hand, shaking his head. “I don’t want to talk about that.”He pulled her toward him, sealing their lips together. A spark ran down her body. She leaned into it.His hands skated over her back and down, cupping her ass. He pulled her onto his lap, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The kiss deepened, and she moaned softly against him.He broke the kiss, inhaling against her neck. “You smell so good,” he muttered into her ear.She smiled, feeling his hands sliding up her back. He reached for her bra straps.She leaned back, looking into his eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk?” she asked, seeing frustration in his eyes.He shook his head. “Maybe later. Right now, I just want you.”She felt the love so deep in his words. She kissed him, allowing him to pull her shirt open and undo her bra.The air bit at her bare skin, but he pulled them onto the bed and under the covers. She pressed into the sheets as his fingers scraped at her pants.His lips kissed
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY SURPRISED
Her heart dropped into her stomach, and her breathing, she realized, was shallow, unsteady.Atlasr’s eyes darkened then, and his jaw tightened as he clenched his teeth.“We need to be very careful, Elena.” The warning in his voice was clear. “We need to continue pretending that you’re my nanny and not my mate.”“You really cannot expect me to do that.” The distress in Elena’s voice surprised her. But a dent had been put in her pride.“Yes, you have to,” Atlas said, his voice more serious than Atlas had ever heard it before. “You cannot tell anyone about us. Not even your mother. And I’m not doing this because I want to keep you a secret … far from it. I’m doing this because I want to protect you.”“Maybe we should move?” The idea flashed across Atlas’s mind so suddenly that she hurried to grasp it before it vanished. “Move to another state where we can live freely. Like Alaska.”Atlas shook his head as Marigold started crying.Elena took the baby automatically, cradling the little gir
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY REJECTED BY THE COUNCIL
Devlen, Case, Elias, and Jameson represented the bears of Montana.“Atlas,” Devlen spoke in his growling voice.Atlas inclined his head in a small bow to each of them.The four shifters all wore bear skins.“Thank you for seeing me,” he said. “I am here to plead before the council. I would like to find a human mate. Clearly, Serenity and I were not a match, and this resulted in her death.”“I believe, Atlas, that you’ve mated with a human before coming here to get our approval.”Fear raced through Atlas, crashing into him in great waves and almost knocking him over.But he remained steady, his face impassive.“Not at all, sir,” he said as respectfully as he could. Anger had blended with his fear. “I simply want us to change the old ways of living to save the bear shifters of Hendrick Klaus.”“The reason we do not mate with humans, Atlas,” Elias spoke in a gentler voice, though his face was stern, “is because we are keeping our species pure. Mating and procreating with humans only weak
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY SETTLED
Atlas took a hesitant step toward her.Outside, the wind had picked up. Leaves and thick, rich patches of soil blew around in gusts and spurts.The air had smelled wet and ripe, as though it was about to rain.“I want you. Only you,” Atlas said. His eyes were sincere … sincere enough that Atlas believed him. “More than anything. But I have to ensure that the council approves of our relationship first.”“Why?”Elena settled into the rocking chair next to the baby’s bed.Marigold was still awake but allowed Elena to cradle her. It was as if the baby knew Elena needed to hold her.“Because,” Atlas leaned against the changing table, “the council rarely approves of bears and humans mixing. Socially and … romantically.”“Is it really that big of a deal?” Elena found the strength to ask Timber, who crossed his arms over his chest.“It isn’t to me. But the bear council wants us to keep our bloodlines pure. They believe that mating with humans is physically impossible, and even if it were poss
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY CONVERSATIONS
She gripped her hands into tight fists. Her lips pulled into a straight line, and she inhaled sharply.“If you're not going to be honest with me, then I'm not staying. I told you I wasn't going to watch after your kid day in and day out. I'm the nanny, not the mother."She turned on her heel and marched toward the door. He quickly pulled himself out of bed and reached for her hand, stopping her."Stop!" Elena yelled, but he didn't."Just give me a second to explain," he whispered, making her pause.He knew she wouldn't believe him unless she saw with her own eyes, so he turned them toward the door and walked her out to the backyard.The grass was wet, and it smelled like it had recently rained. He turned toward her on the deck and took a few steps back."Now, you can't say I didn't warn you," he said, watching her look at him confused.He relaxed his muscles and allowed himself to shift into his bear form. His bones moved, and his muscles contracted. And then she screamed.Elena's eye
