The Bear Novels & Stories

The man's expression turned dark as he awkwardly mumbled, "Are… are you joking? I won't let my son donate his kidney. He is participating in basketball competitions. How is he going to play in those competitions with one kidney less? About that… Lena, I think you should ask someone else instead." "But you said God will bless you if you do the right thing! We will repay your kindness, so please save Tess!" Lena grabbed the man's hand and refused to let go. The man hurriedly pushed Lena away and ran. When Lena finally crawled up and wanted to switch her target to Anne and me, I had already closed the door and locked it. The other neighbors were all scared that Lena would ask them to donate the

River is unconscious, his dark hair fanned out around him like a halo, his breathing shallow. A growl rumbles behind me, and I turn to see a bear, just a normal bear, a big one with shaggy fur and wise eyes. He must have sensed the commotion and come to investigate. I know this bear well… he’s a gentle giant, a guardian of the forest who often wanders near my hut. “Come here, friend,” I whisper, urgency lacing my voice. “We need to help him.”

I gasp and stop for a moment at the sight. There is a bear, a giant one at that. Like, three times the size a bear should be. It had deep, bloody gashes on its angry face, and thick chains wrapped around its neck and limbs. "What the hell." I gasp, my eyes darting everywhere. I finally find Erik's eyes, and they look angry. "Why are you here? I told you to stay inside." I glare at him. "What is this? Why are you doing this to this bear? If you plan to kill it to eat then just do it, but this looks... evil." My eyes darted over to the animal, who's already looking at me. My heart aches at his expression; scared and angry.

Thales's shout echoed loudly. Aurora didn't understand. Until the ground shook. The ground. Her eyes widened when the “mountain” beneath her feet shook, then moved. A crack appeared on the side, but it wasn't rock—it was a joint. A muscle of stone. The ground rose with a dull groan. And only then did she see it. The entire platform they were standing on was the back of a bear. A colossal bear, made of pure rock, with eyes like burning coals. An ancient creature that rose with fury, leaving its pursuers behind, down below, with the world collapsing at their feet.

No birds, no insects. I looked up and was a bear coming from behind a tree. It was a grizzly bear, the size of a small carriage. It fixed its hungry eyes on us and I swallowed. "Nicole," I whispered. "Don't move." "Kyra... what is it?" The bear roared, and rose up on its hind legs to tower over us. "It’s a bear," I said, my voice surprisingly calm despite the fact we were about to be bear food. "And it’s coming for us."

Grant Gonas is the man the underworld fears and the business world admires. As the CEO of GONAS, a multibillion-dollar empire built over generations, he is known for his intelligence, discipline, and ruthless decisions. But beneath the image of a respected businessman lies a terrifying secret—Grant is the head of one of the most powerful mafia families in America. Feared as The Frozen Beast, he has no room for emotions, no patience for love, and no intention of letting anyone close enough to become his weakness. A high-stakes business meeting takes Grant from Los Angeles to San Diego, where he chooses to travel without the luxury and security that usually surround him. One rainy afternoon,

Other cages lined the perimeter of a clearing. A low, guttural growl rumbled from the shadows to her left. A mountain lion, pacing tight circles in a box barely big enough to turn around in. To her right, a massive shape shifted in the darkness. The scent of bear was pungent and undeniable. Heather’s mind raced back to the young she-bear she had been tracking earlier—the one she failed to find. Was she here too? “Looking at a big payout tonight, boys,” one of the men laughed, wiping grease onto his jeans.

Its eyes were clouded with white cataracts, meaning it was almost completely blind. The bear raised its head. It drew the cold mountain air into its black nose, smelling our presence. Then it let out a deep, deafening roar that shook the dust off the concrete ceiling. "It's blind!" Rylan shouted. He did not run. He held the pry bar like a club. "It can't see us, Edal!" "But it can hear us!" Ezra yelled. The bear lunged forward, its massive claws scraping against the wet concrete floor. It did not know exactly where we were, but it was moving toward the sound of Ezra's voice.

“You can’t kill what isn’t alive.” “Then how do we stop it?” “I don’t know.” The bear reached the outer wall. Instead of trying to break through, it simply walked over it. Its massive stone paws crushed the wall flat, timber and stone disintegrating under its weight. Wolves scattered, running from the path of destruction. The bear ignored them completely. It had eyes only for the main hall. Alina grabbed Lena from Vera. “Everyone out! Clear the hall!” People poured out of the building. The bear was fifty feet away now. Forty. Thirty.

As I land on all fours I stretch out and shake my fur to get the rest of the skin and blood off. My bear's name is Yona. It's Cherokee for bear. Our mate stood there smiling like a lunatic. "Holy crap. This is amazing. You are so furry." She walked up and started running her hands through our dark brown fur. She didn’t even mind getting a bit of blood on her hands. It was mostly off but there was always a bit left. Humans were usually terrified of Yona. He has a huge scar on his right eyelid. Another scar on his side and a huge scar down the left side of his ribs. All from war. All from trying to defend his people and the people who stood up for him.
