All Chapters of A Bear's World: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

6 years agoI sat in my living room with my parents. Breaking news had just alerted my dad after dinner. My mom's friends were all calling the house phone over and over. If that was happening all the women in the neighborhood knew something my mother didn't.Which was not allowed.My mother was the biggest know-it-all in our entire town. I really wanted to get my phone privileges for the night, my best friend and I needed to discuss a certain boy in our English class. Tall, brown hair, dark skin, brown eyes, AKA the most popular boy in school. And he talked to me today in the hallway!Why couldn't my parents understand this was way more important than some breaking news?When I entered the living room with my brownie as dessert, my mom was crying for some reason. My mom is a drama queen so I didn't think much of it and shifted my attention to the TV. I sat on the couch as my mom sat next to my Dad on their chairs. I just really wanted to watch the

~~StephanieMy parents were alive.How in the hell did they survive everything?Why didn't they come for me?Would I even want them to come for me at this point?All of these questions swirled around in my head. Regardless of our differences in how they see the world, they were still my parents. They still raised me and I didn't know who they truly were until I was 12. They didn't abuse me. They still loved me even though we didn't agree on much.But my mate.What if they found out I had a mate? They would be so angry at me. For something that has already changed how I feel in a matter of a few days. I don’t even know if I would want to see them or talk to them if I were given the chance. They turned into horrible people who didn’t have the views of the people that raised me. I was raised on love and acceptance but when it was knocking on our front door my parents changed who they were and what they stood for in life.

~~Stephanies POV Marissa was an orphan just like me. We had run into each other 4 or 5 times over the past few years. She was always so sweet, but I hadn't seen her in about 2 years. I had feared the worst, but was so excited to find out she was mated with the Alpha of our new pack. But could I even call myself an orphan anymore? I had a family. Just not in the same sense of a good mom and dad. I had Dom, his mom, Marissa, and maybe even the Alpha on good days.

~~Stephanie"What does that mean?" I asked outloud even though I knew what the noise was. Yano transformed in to Dom and it scared me with how it looked. It looked like it hurt with his bones breaking back in to place and his fur sliding back in his skin. I shook with fear...maybe excitement...I have no clue.Too much was going on for me to even form a thought."Little one. Take the kids and Marissa. Go to the safe house under the pack house. Do not come out until either Grayson or I mindlink Marissa." He said quickly."I can help you." I said quickly not wanting to leave his side. I couldn't lose him."Stephanie. Stay. For me." He ordered gruffily.

~~Dom I stood frozen in front of her. I didn't know what to do or say. She just said she was pregnant. PREGNANT. I don't even know what I was feeling. Did I even want kids? Yes but I didn't want them this soon. Yano growled in the back of my head. I shook my head to rid myself of the faults. I looked down at her as her eyes turned to panic. She lowered her head and her hair covered her face. A sigh came from her as she turned on her heel and walked in the direction of the pack house. People milled about around me as I still stood there staring at her figure getting smaller in the distance. I stood there unbelieving at the words that tumbled from her mouth. When she said she
