Mine.

My Bear chuffed inside of me, pawing at the ground in the metaphysical realm where he waited until we swapped skins.

My entire being seemed to buzz with awareness, and I knew it was all because of her. Avery Brown was everything I ever wanted in a woman, but I didn’t know how to tell her. It wasn’t even that I couldn’t find the words, and God knew I wasn’t a poet.

It was more that I couldn’t get close enough to even try. She kept throwing up roadblocks every time I drew near. Mixed signals were confusing in the best of times, but I was a Shifter.

With her mouth saying one thing and her scent another, I didn’t know whether I was coming or going.

Definitely not coming.

As if I wasn’t keenly aware of the fact my cock ached for her day in and out, it gave a hefty thump beneath my jeans at that precise moment.

Grrr.

“What was that?” she asked.

“Nothing,” I murmured, forcing my Bear to shut the fuck up.

Mine.

The idiotic beast inside of me didn’t understand why I was delayin

  • Motley Crewed Shifters   Chapter TWENTY-SIX-CASEY

    Something they don’t always tell you in med school—but I learned during a forensic pathology rotation—is that to reduce a human body to ash, you need a flame that burns at around sixteen hundred degrees. And even then, it takes hours.But Dragons?Yeah. They don’t follow the rules.The second Zeke’s massive jaw opens and I hear it—that little click like a lighter being struck—my legs move without hesitation.I step away from the car. Away from him.Michael.The man who stalked me, kidnapped me, terrorized me. The one who tore apart my dreams and thought he owned my body, my future, my fucking life.But he doesn’t anymore.He never will again.Because I have a Dragon now.And as I move behind my big, terrifying, beautiful mate—scales glowing in different shades of purple to the lightest that glitters like molten lavender and gold in the storm light—I don’t feel one single sliver of guilt.Not one goddamn tear for the piece of filth about to get incinerated.My heart is pound

  • Motley Crewed Shifters   Chapter TWENTY-FIVE-ZEKE&CASEY

    CASEY The car jerks to a stop, tires grinding against gravel as we pull into a cracked and overgrown parking lot at the edge of what looks like a long-abandoned industrial park.Weeds shoot through the asphalt.A broken streetlamp leans precariously overhead.There's no one here.No one to see. No one to help.Michael kills the engine and turns to look at me in the rearview mirror, his eyes cold, soulless.I can’t believe I ever thought this man harmless. Or attractive.It seems so wrong now that I’ve met Zeke. Now that I know what a real man is—even if he can turn into a Dragon.Zeke is so much more than that. He’s my whole heart. He is the first and only man to really show me what love is.God, I really don’t want this to be the end.If I have any regrets at all, it’s on the time I wasted before seizing the day and telling him how much I love him.I’m sorry we didn’t have more time, Zeke.I want to rage at the whole world for the unfairness of it all. But I won’t do t

  • Motley Crewed Shifters   Chapter TWENTY-FOUR-ZEKE

    I’m teetering on the edge of the precipice between losing my self-control and keeping my skin.This isn’t a good thing.If I let that happen? If I allow myself to shatter? Then the Dragon will take over and the world will be lost.That’s not a boast.It’s a fact.The monster inside me? Let’s just say he’s the stuff the legends all talk about.Every Dragon has power.A special elemental sort of magic that he weaves with his very breath.Mine? Well, let’s just say there is a reason wild beasts heed my commands.Even now, the wildlife around me can sense my mood.The birds take to the skies and everything from the largest deer to the tiniest chipmunk scurries away.All of them fearing what the Dragon will do in his anger, in his need for vengeance.But outweighing that need is something even more imminent. Saving her.Bringing her back.Knowing my Casey is in danger?Not good.Not fucking good at all.And it isn’t a sound that alerted me.Not a sight either.Just a know

  • Motley Crewed Shifters   Chapter TWENTY-THREE-CASEY

    The nurse’s office is currently empty except for me and the rhythmic ticking of the old wall clock and the gentle hum of the window fan.Principal Jefferson was quite cordial when I explained I was going to need a substitute nurse to fill in for me, as I’d been called home to serve as a witness in a criminal trial.She even wished me well, and I’ve spent all morning organizing the student medication files and stacking them neatly in a locked cabinet for my replacement.It’s a small thing, but I feel accomplished. Being a school nurse was never my goal, but it wasn’t all bad.At any rate, I feel like I’m moving in the right direction now.Like I’m closing a door on one part of my life and maybe getting ready to open another.I still don’t know what the future holds for me in terms of my career. If I even want to be a doctor anymore. It’s something to think about and to talk with Zeke about.The idea of having someone to share my thoughts with. To confess my doubts and insecuritie

    I don’t like this.I haven’t liked it since she kissed my cheek this morning, promised she’d be careful, and walked into that damn school like it was just another Wednesday.Like her psychotic ex isn’t out there somewhere plotting gods-know-what.Like she isn’t carrying my fucking soul in that beautiful, fragile human body.But Casey insisted she needed to work today.Tie up loose ends.Finish charts for the kids who rely on her for meds.Leave things better than she found them, because that’s the kind of woman she is.And I admire the hell out of that—her grace, her strength.Just like I admire the fact that my woman is practically a damn doctor.We haven’t talked in detail yet about what she wants next, career-wise, but it doesn’t matter. Whatever Casey decides, I’m one hundred percent behind her.If she wants to pick back up where she left off before that bastard hijacked her life, then that’s what she’ll do. No question.Hell, I already have some of Max’s contacts quiet

    ZEKE The room goes quiet.Not the awkward kind.This is a silence born of respect.Of protection.Of the unspoken promise that every person sitting here will go to war for the woman currently pouring her soul out in the center of Max's living room.Casey.My mate.She's sitting on the edge of the big armchair Penny insisted she take, hands clasped tight in her lap, knuckles white.But her voice doesn't shake. Not once.“I met Michael D'Angelo when I was doing my ER rotation during the last leg of my residency. I wasn't even supposed to be there that day. I took a shift for someone else.”I feel my Dragon rise under my skin, already seething.Just hearing that bastard’s name sends heat through my blood.“He was a patient. Nothing major. Some bruised ribs and a busted hand. Said he got jumped outside a club. That kind of thing happens more than you think, so no one really questioned it.”She's looking at her hands, her voice even but distant.“He sent me food a few time
