We Bare Bears Crowbar Jones: Origins Novels & Stories

“We lived in a deserted shanty at our bee-ranch in the woods. I was there alone the first night, and the place was alive with cats—tame cats gone wild, you know. Savage brutes! I shot one, and got all clawed up.” “Bears, too,” Bob remarked. “They raided our bee-yards twice. I wonder if they haven’t chewed up all Old Dick’s bees by this time.” “Well, I don’t know,” said Joe. “I’d like first-rate to go on a bee hunt with you, and I’ll do it if I can get a few days off, a little later. In fact, you make me wish I was in bees along with you, instead of the turpentine business. Our camp is going to pieces, I’m afraid.”

On the ground, the bear tribe stomped off toward the enemies. The second-in-command bear with reddish-browned fur started to shout as soon as they were springing across the ground with their bat. “Attack the enemy. Never let them escape!!!!” Boom! Boom! The massive feet and heavy bodies of the bears curved the land, creating a sort of signature. The ground left the evidence that the bears were here fighting every inch of their lives. Oldie who was protecting Conan who was just standing while slurping the lollipop inside his mouth looked ahead, grinding his teeth.

He shot toward Javier with unstoppable force and a burst of momentum not unlike the very first eruption of a volcano. The daughter looked over her shoulder at her parents with a smirk on her lips. “Mom, Dad, meet Boulder Bear. I spent a fortune to hire this big man for my protection. He costs, like, a few million dollars! But he more than makes up for it with his sheer might and skills. Like, he once fought a godd*mn brown bear in the forest with his own fists, completely topless, and won! Beating up this pipsqueak? Piece of cak—”

Maybe even like it? Is that even possible? Ana thought. She just felt on edge by it. “Okay. I will.” Ana answered. “Good.” Nicoli smiled and let go. The silver slipped from his hand to land with the rest. “Well, now that we made a promise, back to more bears!” And Nicoli was excitedly pulling back up his book. He rapidly turned pages. “And this one is a Grizzly bear. And that’s a black bear. Oh, this one is really tough, a Polar bear-” Nicoli went on.

constantly, if only as a change from worrying about drowning. Jasper’s obsession with drowning had begun to oppress them all. He had talked so much about it that Newt had come to feel it would be almost a miracle if someone didn’t drown at every river. “Well, if we see one of them bears, Pea can stick him with that knife he keeps sharpening,” Bert Borum said. “It ought to be sharp enough to kill a dern elephant by now.” Pea took the criticism lightly. “It never hurts to be ready,” he said, quoting an old saying of the Captain’s. Call himself spent the day on the mare, weeding out the weaker stock, both cattle and horses. He worked with Deets. About noon, they were resting under a big mesqui

“Look, do you want the pups or not?” “Yes, I do. Tell me how to get my prize’s back.” Burican smiled. “Follow me.” The bear told him. His beast was angry with him. How dare he turn his back on his clan. He kept fighting with his human side. “You can’t do this!” “They are innocent cubs.” His beast yelled at him. “They aren’t my cubs or part of my clan, so they are not my concern.” Bear scoffed at his beast. He walked in front of Burican and Max showing them the hidden entrance to the clan bunker.

No, this definitely wasn't an informal visit. Ever absentmindedly fingered the claws from the freshly killed bear coiled around his thick bicep. He'd tried to give them to me but I'd refused. I had no desire to wear a reminder of that day. I already had permanent marks attesting to my pain in the ragged crescent-shaped scar of the bear's teeth across my chest as well as long scars on my shoulder and back. So, Ever had kept the bear's teeth and claws while Asher took the hide and fur. The rest of the pack had greedily eaten the meat as well as dried some into jerky for the winter. No part of the bear had been wasted. It was a delicacy they didn't often have.

Instead, Bears claim their mates by scratching along their necks and down to their collarbones. My hand lifts to where the mark is. Three long but subtle claw marks show that I’m claimed. Where werewolves don’t usually try to hide their marks or show them, bears often ensure they are on show during social events. So my dress is revealing the mark. “If we’re talking and someone asks you something, and you’re not sure how to answer, just squeeze my hand, and I’ll speak,” Arktos says while smiling down at me. I’m glad he’s giving me a way out.

It won’t hold them off for long, but it might be sufficient to purchase us a few time. Beyond the camp, the werebears have peaked the edge. They’re inside half a mile of us, and are tearing toward us with startling speed; before long we’ll be in run of their spells. At the front of the group is the greatest one I’ve ever seen: twice the measure of any polar bear, with snow white hide that stands in sharp differentiate to his dark heart. There’s no way it can be anybody but Cassius, the man capable for everything: the assaults, the cross examinations, the collusion between the most grounded clans. The kidnappings. Nyx’s detainment. I’m seeing red.

Damn, that hurt! Just as the bear was about to grab me by the scruff, I caught sight of Kos — he had jumped onto the beast’s back and was stabbing at its neck with a knife. The same hunting knife I had found earlier. He’d liked it so much, he’d been carrying it ever since — and I was very glad about that right now. The bear began to weaken, but still had enough strength to throw Konstantin off. He swung again, hitting Kos’s arm. The blow landed on his forearm, and I prayed he hadn’t broken it. Rage flared through me like fire.
