Page 20 of Marked By the Possessive Polar Bear
“Let me tell you how it’s going to work,” Adrian says, stepping forward with a snarl. “I’m not a cub anymore. Any of you dogs come near me or anyone in my life, you’ll have a pissed-off twenty-five hundred pound polar bear to deal with.”
Knox smirks and then turns his attention back onto me. “What’s your name?”
Adrian can’t handle having this creep’s eyes on me. His whole body shakes like a violent earthquake and then he explodes into his furious polar bear.
I gasp as I step back, shocked at the size of him. I saw his bear many times when I was a kid, but he’s grown so much. He’shuge. Andlivid.
The three men quickly phase into their wolves as Adrian charges, roaring like he’s about to unleash hell on all three of them.
I have to help him. It looks like Adrian’s powerful bear can take care of these canines in his sleep, but I’m not taking any chances. Their wolves are big too, and I doubt this is their first fight.
My grizzly bear is all too eager to come. As soon as I open the door to a phase, my grizzly bursts through it in a rage.
My paws hit the pavement as the three wolves and my angry mate collide. Adrian immediately smacks one with his big paw, launching him into a parked car. Broken glass explodes from the windows and the passenger side door caves in as the wolf yelps.
Adrian pins Knox’s wolf as the third one leaps onto his back.
My grizzly snarls as I see him bitting into Adrian’s back, the white fur turning red.
Mine.
I push her forward as she sprints toward the fight. She leaps onto him, crashing into his hind legs, and sending him tumbling onto the ground.
He tries to scramble away, but I land on top of him, pinning him to the ground with my paws. I open my jaws and sink them around his neck in warning. I could easily take his life and a part of me wants to. I don’t like any threats to my mate.
A loud gunshot gets our attention.
My bear looks over and growls when we see a naked man pointing a shotgun at Adrian’s head. He’s one of the goons, the one whose wolf who got a first-class flight into the side of the car. He must have phased back and got his gun.
“Get off him,” the man yells, cocking the shotgun.
Adrian’s polar bear is pinning the yelping wolf down under his massive paw. He shows his teeth and growls at the man, daring him to pull the trigger.
That polar bear is tough and he looks like he could take a lot of damage, but even a polar bear can’t win against a shotgun slug at close range.
My grizzly bear releases the wolf we’re holding, rushes over, and steps in front of my mate.
“Let him go,” the man says, pointing the gun at me then at Adrian. “Last chance.”
Adrian reluctantly steps off and Knox’s wolf sprints past me. The boys retreat to their motorcycles.
We stay in our bear forms as they phase back, grab their shredded clothes, and step onto their bikes naked.
“You dumb fuck,” Knox hisses as he glares at Adrian’s bear. “You should have stayed gone. Mace is going to hear about this.”
Adrian’s polar bear growls as he watches them start their motorcycles and quickly flee.
We stand guard in the dark quiet street, watching their bikes until they disappear around the bend. It’s only when we can no longer hear the rumbling engines, that we relax and look at each other.
Our bears see each other as mates for the first time and if there weren’t so many questions racing through my mind right now, I’d enjoy the nice tender moment a little more.
My grizzly looks up at him in awe. I can feel the reverence flowing through her body as she looks up at his massive whitehead with those beautiful blue eyes gazing back at us. He’s so much bigger than me. Bigger than my brothers even.
And he’s all mine.
He lowers his head and lets out a contented moan as he rubs his head against my neck. My grizzly is in heaven as she smells his masculine scent, breathing in as much of him as she can.
We let them have their tender moment and then we phase back into our human forms.
