When Gwendolyn Lee Grace lands her first nursing job after graduation, she’s thrilled — until she realizes her new position is a live-in caretaker for the reclusive patriarch of the wealthy Bearanstein family. Their sprawling mountain estate is as mysterious as its owners… and none more so than Arthur Bearanstein III — the brooding, impossibly gorgeous heir everyone calls Baby Bear. Arthur’s life is already ruled by duty. As the only son, he’s next in line to inherit the Alpha position from his ailing father. But there’s a catch: the ancient power of the Alpha can only pass to one who’s bonded with his fated mate. And Arthur’s mate is nowhere to be found. Until Gwendolyn walks through the door. From the moment they meet, sparks fly hotter than a forge fire. She’s everything he can’t have — human, off-limits, and dangerously tempting. Yet beneath her golden curls and soft smile lies a strength Arthur can’t ignore… and a secret even she doesn’t know. When Gwen discovers that the Bearansteins’ wealth hides something wild, ancient, and fur-covered, she must decide whether to run from the beast within Arthur — or embrace the destiny that’s been calling her all along. In a world where love can awaken the beast, sometimes “just right” means fated.

The Bearanstein Legacy Chapter 12: Spilling the Tea
The kitchen smelled of honey, lavender, and the faintest trace of cinnamon as Gwen helped Simon and Sophie rummage through the cupboards for “tea party supplies.”“Do you think Uncle Arthur will like chamomile?” Gwen asked, holding up a small tin.Simon wrinkled his nose. “He says tea is for cubs and old bears.”“Then we’ll change his mind,” Gwen said with mock determination.Sophie stood on a stool beside her, stirring a bowl of honey with both hands. Most of it ended up on the counter… and her dress. “Can we have cookies too? Tea parties need cookies.”“Of course,” Gwen said, smiling. “We’ll make the best cookies in the Bearanstein house.”By the time they were done, the kitchen looked like a small tornado had passed through. Flour dusted the counters, honey dripped from a wooden spoon, and Ben had somehow gotten jam on his nose. Gwen’s cheeks hurt from smiling so much.When everything was ready — the tray of teacups, tiny plates stacked with cookies, and a pot of sweet, watered-dow

That made no sense! The estate’s grounds were fenced; the family had mentioned that wildlife rarely came close to the house. Heart hammering, she slipped on her shoes and went downstairs. The morning air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. As she crossed the veranda, her eyes caught something near one of the shrubs—a torn scrap of fabric fluttering lightly against a branch. She crouched, frowning. It was pale gray, frayed at the edges, faintly familiar. She ran her thumb along it, and her pulse skipped. It looked like the same fabric Arthur’s shirts were made of.“Miss Grace?”Gwen startled, nearly dropping the scrap. Beth stood a few yards away, holding a basket of laundry, her expression open but watchful.“You’re up early,” Beth said lightly. “Couldn’t sleep?”“Something like that,” Gwen replied, tucking the fabric into her pocket without thinking. “I thought I saw—well, animal tracks.”Beth’s eyes flicked toward the woods, and for just a second, somethi

The air cooled after sundown. From her window, Gwen watched the forest shift from green to blue to shadow-black. The manor had quieted for the night—children tucked in, dinner dishes cleared, soft laughter echoing faintly down distant halls. But sleep refused to come. She’d tried reading, she’d tried tea, yet Mr. Bearanstein’s words looped through her head. Little gold one. The Alpha’s mate. Each time she closed her eyes, she saw that flash of amber light in his gaze and felt again the weight of his hand clutching hers. Finally, she gave up and slipped into her sweater, stepping out onto the veranda. The night was cool but gentle, the kind that hummed with life. Crickets sang in the grass, and somewhere far off, an owl called. The nearly full moon hung low , spilling silver over the trees. Gwen leaned against the railing, breathing deeply, trying to quiet the unease twisting in her chest. “You shouldn’t be out here alone.” She jumped, heart lurching, and turned to see Arthur st

The manor was quieter in the afternoon. Sunlight slanted through the long hallways, dust motes swirling in lazy spirals as Gwen carried the tray upstairs. The scent of mint and chamomile drifted ahead of her, soothing and warm.Mr. Bearanstein’s room was still and dim when she entered, curtains drawn halfway to soften the light. He sat near the window, wrapped in a thick shawl, his eyes half-closed but not quite asleep.“Good afternoon, Mr. B,” Gwen said gently. “I brought you something new to try.”He didn’t respond right away. That was normal; he drifted between awareness and silence like the tide. She set the tray down on the small table beside him and began to arrange the pillows so he could sit comfortably.When she helped him lift the cup, his fingers brushed hers—cool, frail, but startlingly strong for an instant. His gaze sharpened, and a faint murmur slipped from his lips.“Little… gold one,” he said, voice rough with age.Gwen froze. “Sir?”His

The afternoon sun shimmered through the treetops, painting the forest in gold and green. Gwen breathed deeply, savoring the cool air as she guided Mr. Bearanstein along the garden path. His steps were slow but steady, and for the first time since she’d arrived, he seemed almost… peaceful.They paus

Morning light poured through the lace curtains of Mr. Bearanstein’s room, pooling in warm patches across the floor. Gwen paused in the doorway, taking a steadying breath before stepping inside.The elder Alpha — though she didn’t know him by that title yet — sat slumped in a high-backed chair near

The scent of coffee and maple syrup lured Gwen down the grand staircase the next morning. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, gilding the long dining table where the Bearanstein family was already gathered.Everyone looked perfectly at ease — laughing, chatting, passing plates of bacon and

The fire in the dining room had burned low by the time dessert was finished. Most of the family had drifted away in twos and threes, their laughter echoing down the halls. Gwen helped clear dishes just to have something to do with her hands. As she passed through the doorway, she heard voices from
