I woke up this morning and stretched aggressively. I slept better last night than I have in a long time. That was really nice. Wait. It’s nearly ten am! Why didn’t anyone wake me? That’s right. My first shift into a bear is tonight. My amazing mate is letting me sleep in, so I have more strength for tonight. After getting out of bed and getting dressed, I walked downstairs, poured myself a cup of coffee, and noticed no one was in the house. What the hell? I walked out to our deck with my coffee, and noticed all my siblings are training with Evan, Elliot and dad.
I was enjoying watching the show when my phone rang. When I saw who was calling, fear rose in me. I answered immediately, “Hello?” Crystal speaks, “Princess? Mom and me are hiding in my closet. There is someone at our door. Mommy wouldn’t tell me who, but we need help.” I replied, “We’ll be there in a second, sweetie.”
I immediately went to Elliot and dad, “Crystal just called. They are hiding in a closet, be

When we got back to Bonnie and Crystal’s house, we went to the door and I yelled, “Bonnie! It’s Elisa! The threat is gone and already locked up.” Bonnie came to the door and let us in, “I’m so thankful that we can count on you to show up quickly.” I smiled, “I will be here for you in a flash any time you need me. Now, why don’t you pack an overnight bag, and you two can go ahead and come to our house for the night?” Crystal let out a “Whoop!” and ran to her room. I walked outside and notice four guys walking out of the woods and holding their heads. The walked to Koda and I asked, “Are you guys alright?” One of them looked at me, “We’re fine. Just trying to come out of our brain fog.” I smiled, “Okay, let me know if you need anything.” They nodded, “Thanks!” Then I added, “Oh yeah! You guys are welcome to come out to our place this evening. I’m shifting for the first time into my bear!” All four men got a look of excitement and one of them yelled, “We wouldn’t miss it for th
Shifting into a bear wasn’t nearly as bad as shifting to a wolf for the first time. Maybe it was because I had already become accustomed to the feeling of my bones breaking and rearranging themselves. When the shift first started, I felt someone pick me up. I knew it was Elliot by the comforting sparks that radiated through my body. I felt the grass under me and I looked at my hands and saw paws. I made myself go cross-eyed to look at my nose and found a snout in its place. I stood up and a loud roar came from the depths of my being. Every shifter there returned with a loud roar or howl. We all started running, with Koda taking the lead. As we ran, I truly enjoyed the wind in my face and the thrill of running through the forest, dodging tree limbs, bounding over fallen logs and tree roots. We stopped by the lake, and I walked over to it to get a drink, then I looked at myself. What kind of bear am I? Just then I heard my bear speak for the first time, “Hello Elisa. I am Adel
I knew that voice before I even turned to see who it is. I mind linked Elliot and dad, “Guys, Bonnie’s ex mate is out of the dungeon and is in our house.” Then I turned to him and asked, “How the fuck did you get out of the dungeon?” He started walking toward me and growled, “That comment you made about my kid wanting me dead so my mate can be happy. I know you put her up to that.” That’s when Koda, Elliot and my dad showed up. Koda immediately jumped between us, and dad grabbed him from behind. Then I approached him, “I hate to tell you this, but your EX-mate has already found her second chance mate. There is no comparison between the two of you. Crystal has already asked to call him dad.” He tried to get in my face and yell at me, then Koda told the warriors, “Take him back to the dungeons,” then he turned to Crystal’s dad and continued, “and I will warn you now. If you attempt another escape, I will put you to death without a trial. I will not have you or your family mess
I woke this morning to the sound of a young girl singing. I immediately sat straight up and looked around. I hurried through my morning routine and walked downstairs. I asked everyone downstairs if they heard a little girl singing and was met with all shaking heads. I walked into the conference room and looked at the wall. I chanted, “Da mihi visual” to see if I could see what is going on. A huge image opened up on the wall and I saw a little girl, around six years old, who was sitting and singing a song in a tiny room. A huge man opened the door and the girl cowered into a corner, knees to her chest. The man reached in and grabbed her. He pulled her out of the room and shook her, “I told you to clean the house! Everyone is gone, so you have thirty minutes to get this done.” Then he smacked her across the face! I was so livid from watching this, but she went back in her room, changed out of her nightgown, and dressed in ragged leggings and a tattered t-shirt. She started sin
Luna Abby smiled, “Go get your girl, sweetie. She knows you’re coming.” I smiled, “Thank you so much.” Elliot and dad insisted on coming with me. We all held hands and we were outside her room in a nanosecond. I opened the door and saw the sweetest brown-haired, blue-eyed girl smiling at me, “Are you Elisa?” I smiled, “I am. Are you Calista?” She giggled as she replied, “I am. Can I stay with you?” I smiled, “I would love that.” I added, “This is my mate, Elliot, and this is my dad, Wade.” She bowed her head, “Hello. I’m very pleased to meet you.” I took her hand, “Is there anything you need to bring with you?” She took a necklace and hung it around her neck, “This is all I need.” I smiled, “Let’s go sweetie. Would you like to teleport with us?” She clapped her hands and giggled, “Can I?” I nodded as I chuckled, “Of course. Just take our hands and we will be there in the blink of an eye.” When she opened her eyes, we were all in the conference room. I asked her, “How are you
I smiled, “I’m glad you’re looking forward to seeing her, but I think we need to get you settled into your room, get you some clothes and shoes, and get the doctor to see you. Is that okay?” Calista nodded, “Will the doctor hurt me?” I shook my head, “Our doctor does everything he can to try not to hurt you. Okay? We just want to make sure you aren’t just happy, but healthy too.” She smiled as she ate, “Thank you, Princess.” I told her, “You can call me Elisa or anything you want. Okay?” She asked, “I know you aren’t my real mom, but can I call you my mom?” I smiled, “That would be my honor.” Then she turned to Elliot, “Can I call you my dad?” Elliot smiled with a tear in his eyes, “That would mean the world to me, little one.” Then dad walked up to her, “You can call me grandpa, if you want.” She giggled, “I never had a grandpa before.” Dad smiled, “Well, you’re in for a whole new kind of treat. My job is to spoil you rotten with all kinds of treats and to love you like cra
I laughed as I turned around, “I wouldn’t think I can. It looks like I actually did. So, yeah. I can take what was never yours to begin with. Calista is a child, not property.” Alpha Johnathon’s face turned bright red, “I will kill you for taking her away from me.” Just then Alpha Damien approached him from behind, “Alpha Johnathon, you came a long way. To what to we owe this visit? Are you really so angry that you are willing to risk being thrown into the dungeons and tried by the council for child abuse and conspiracy to mate and mark a minor child against her will?” Alpha Johnathon started stuttering and stammered, “Well, how do you know it was me who did it?” Alpha Damien replied, “Nobody else in your pack knew she was even there. She will be seen by their doctor, and I know that doctor will find scars and marks. He will be able to tell how old the scars are and how she got them. So, do you really want to start shit at this very moment when you could enjoy your freedom for a few
I stepped out of the medical room and greeted her, “Mom! She’s seeing the doctor. No need to get all bent out of shape.” Mom chuckled, “I’m sorry, honey. I’m just so excited to have a granddaughter. I can’t wait to spoil her rotten.” I laughed, “She’s seeing the doctor right now. As soon as she is done, we will bring her to the living room. It should only be a couple more minutes.” Mom smiled, “I will be waiting patiently.” She walked into the living room, and I went back to the medical room. I was chuckling when I walked through the door and Calista asked, “What’s so funny, mom?” I laughed, “You have a grandma who is dying to meet you.” Calista giggled, “I can’t wait to meet her too.” The doctor interrupted, “Well, it looks like we are all done here. I will let you get dressed and I will get going. I will write a report and send it to the council. It was very nice meeting you, Calista.” Calista nodded her head once, “Thank you, doctor. It was very nice meeting you too. I ho
