“Good, now where is he?”

“I don’t know. Hunter took him into his office,” Pamela said and the sound of something crashing had everyone rushing over.

Pamela did not hesitate, she pushed the door open to the Neta’s office and gasped at the sight before her.

Javier was on the floor. Then he was on top of Lance, with his fist smashing repeatedly into the young Tiger’s face. Pierce had Javi in a chokehold, which Brayden was trying to loosen, and Hunter had just opened his mouth, but turned and jumped in front of the women in a protective stance.

“We better get them outside,” Gerri said watching the fight with more than average concern.

“We need to get them to stop!” Pamela countered.

“Too late for that,” the older woman shook her head and pointed to Brayden, “Open the sliding door quick! If we don’t get him outside he’s going to break through the wall!”

“What the heck are you talking about Gerri?” Pamela asked wide-eyed while her mate snarled angrily as his features sharpened and his body began to grow.

Pierce had already changed into his Tiger and Lance was trying but Javi had a too-tight grip on the younger man’s throat. His chest was heaving and he was growling really fucking loudly.

“Someone tell me what the fuck is going on!” Hunter roared as he did his best to shield the women.

Brayden had the sliding door open, and he went outside to shift into his Bear so as to get Javi’s attention. Pamela moved to go to her mate, but Hunter grabbed her arm and pulled her back sharply. He was trying to protect her, she knew, but judging from the sound Javier just made, he wasn’t too thrilled about the Neta manhandling her.

“Uh oh,” Gerri huffed and put her hands on her hips.

The resounding roar that came from Javi’s ursine mouth was loud enough to shake the rafters. Pamela gasped as Pierce tackled him, catching him off guard, and pushed him outside to meet Brayden’s Black Bear, Pierce’s Tiger, and now Lance’s Tiger. It didn’t matter if he was facing three of them, Pamela soon realized. Her mate was a fucking giant.

“Gerri?”

“Remember when you asked me why I called a grown ass man osito? Well, truth be told it was an ironic nickname. Javier is special, even for a Shifter,” the infamous matchmaker nodded at the proof of her claim and Pamela stared in shocked wonder.

“Little osito is not so little. You see, he is a Dire Andean Bear Shifter, dear. Javi carries a genetic mutation that allows him to tap into the prehistoric version of his animal.”

“OHMYGAWD! He’s fucking huge. I knew it,” Elissa elbowed Pamela and she just nodded.

“Yes. He is big, and so beautiful, look at those facial markings,” Pamela whispered.

“Uh, Pamela, I understand seeing your mate’s animal is pretty special the first time around, but can you stop him from killing my Beta and guards?”

“Oh, shit, yeah, um, yes, I better get on that,” she said and went outside of the unfortunately broken sliding door that led to the yard.

“Javier?” she called and her giant mate stopped pummeling the others and turned to face her.

The Beta of the Pride and the two guards backed off but circled the perimeter, causing her anxious mate to get all growly and she waved them away.

“Guys, get out of here. He won’t hurt me. Will you, big guy?” she murmured as the giant animal lumbered forward, bumping her belly with his enormous face.

She reached out and stroked his thick fur, enjoying the satisfied sound he made when she scratched his ears.

“You are so handsome, love,” she purred softly in her throat and Javier’s Bear grunted happily.

“Mommy!”

“Paulie,” she turned to stop him, but it was too late.

Her son was outside and had jumped right on Javier’s giant back. Everyone went quiet and Hunter appeared right there in his Tiger, the massive creature growling quietly as everyone waited to see how the Dire Bear would react to the cub.

Pamela, however, was surprised to discover she had absolutely no doubts about how her son would be received by Javier’s beautiful, huge beast, and she was right.

The enormous creature laid down like a giant puppy and let her cub climb all over him. Paulie giggled and laughed as he sat on top of Javi’s shoulders pulling his ears until they started to shrink.
