Forty-Three
Scarlett
I was rushing outside in a flash to confirm Reese’s unbelievable report, but there was no denying my meek, blonde-haired friend was sitting astride a massive, gleaming dragon with her mate, Asher.
I was assuming the dragon was Zacharias, but I wouldn’t know for sure until after introductions were made, which would prove impossible if he wasn’t able to land safely.
The canopy of trees nearby swayed with the wind created by his flapping wings as he suspended himself in the air, no doubt looking for the ideal location to touch down.
Really the only option was the fairly decent sized open stretch of grass near the pack house, which I noticed the dragon was currently hovering over, but he was ginormous and still took down a few pin oaks with his succeeding descent.
I was just grateful he’d missed the house, but I didn’t think my mate would be as lax about the downed trees.
I had registered Reese following after me,

Reese I’d observed the mutual respect that seemed to have developed between Zacharias and Asher during the short period of their acquaintance earlier this afternoon, but I noticed it again tonight as they each sat opposite the chair Mari had recently vacated. The she-wolves were clearing the dishes from the table while I filled the males in on everything that had been occurring here in the wolves’ provinces, including the serum Scarlett and Zoey had taken earlier today. I took a minute to mind link with Oliver, who was presently fighting Asher for the last slice of chocolate cake, letting him know that we would be in charge of taking care of the dishes tonight. He grumbled, especially after he lost his bid for the dessert, but I knew he’d be there right alongside me after we finished this conversation. The dragon shifter remained quiet for the most part, listening as the other alpha clarified any needed points, but he sat up s

Scarlett I barely resisted the urge to barge into my father’s room last night, but all bets were off this morning. I’d let him keep his secrets up until this point, but the threat level had escalated with Asher and Rias’s news about the bears’ movements. I couldn’t afford to humor Logan’s stalling anymore, and he instantly noticed my subdued mood when I entered his room, the smile dropping from his face with the storm clouds accompanying my arrival. I’d tried starting with casual conversation the few times I’d mentioned the sore spot in the past, but he’d just turned a deaf ear on my inquiries or diverted the topic altogether when I brought them up, regardless of my approach. I didn’t push then, wanting to give him time to work through his own hang-ups, but the new intel we’d received yesterday changed everything. So, I didn’t dither this morning like I had in the past, launching into the heart of the matter as I stared him do

Reese The older bear shifter didn’t respond at first, but I persisted in leveling my gaze at him, reminding him with my eyes of the discussion we’d had before lunch while my other half was running late. I’d made time to phone Theo between tasks earlier this morning in spite of my hectic schedule. I was relieved when he agreed to reach out to Logan in the near future, but I also remembered the advice he’d given me before the line went dead. Scarlett and I had been tiptoeing around her father’s feelings, scared to send him back into a downward spiral, but my mate’s brief report through mind link after her visit with him prior had informed me her father had already descended into the pit of depression once more. Consequently, I knew I had little to lose when I opted to seek him out. My no bullshit approach seemed to have pulled him out of the hole, at least temporarily, but with his awareness came anger. I observed the fur

Reese We’d talked about the plan for tonight a couple of times, and I had been fine with the idea of Rias giving us a lift to our destination in theory. I hadn’t been worried about the prospect when it was brought up. Honestly, I was exhilarated with the mere idea of flying through the air. Mari and Asher had ridden into my territory astride the huge beast, after all, but I couldn’t figure out how the hell they had gotten up there to begin with. Howbeit, I opted to solve one problem at a time, and the whereabouts of the missing member of our party took precedence at the moment. I was beginning to wonder if I would have to go and fetch Logan myself, but Rias didn’t seem to mind the delay in the slightest. He had already shifted shapes by the time Scarlett and I made it outside, and he was presently resting in the grass adjacent to the pack house, waiting for us to climb aboard his back. If I had to guess, I would say he felt th

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.
