“I’m continuing with my plan before I met Evan. I’m pretty much moved in with him, I just need to get the rest of my stuff from the apartment. Our term of the lease is up at the end of the month. I wasn’t planning on releasing the apartment. I stopped off at the college before the accident and set everything up for graduation and finalized everything with the professor,” I lean back on the couch.
“What about...” Allie starts but is interrupted by a commotion outside. We both jump up and move to the front door.
“Where is that crazy ass bitch?!” comes a familiar voice from outside. I groan as I head out the door. I recognize that voice unfortunately. How did this dickweed find me?
“You need to leave. You aren’t welcome here and you’re trespassing,” is Lucas’ response.
By the time I get to the front porch, Evan is out front and heading on a collision course with the asshat. With a low growl, I head over to give Tom a piece of my mind, and if my knee slips into his ballsach area, so be it. “Evan, no. Stand down,” Lucas orders as he holds out his arm to stop me from continuing forward to give Tom his just desserts. It has so much alpha tone in the order that I almost fall to my knees. Shit, that’s scary. Evan acts like it doesn’t even faze him.
“Evan, now.” Lucas orders again. With a deep growl, Evan complies and backs up to stand in front of me.
Tom looks like he is about to piss his pants. I wish I had a camera so I can remember this moment forever.
“Allie, call the cops.” Lucas turns to my friend before returning his gaze on Tom. “I’m not going to say it again, you need to leave.”
“I’m not leaving until she fixes it! She’s the cause of all of it!” Tom screams hysterically.
“What the hell are you talking about? I haven’t done anything to you. Why won’t you leave me alone? It’s psycho that you won’t stop messing with me.” I peep around Evan’s shoulder. I try to move to the side but he counteracts my moves. Huffing out a burst of air, “Okay, Evan, stop. I can handle this. He’s not going to touch me with all of you here.” I point to the guys that have stepped out on the porch and spilled into the yard.
“Nope, not going to happen,” He growls without looking at me.
“Lucas, please?” I turn to our Alpha.
“Nope, I agree with Evan,” He shakes his head at me. He gives Tom a hard look and points to his car. “You need to leave. We know you had something to do with the car accident. The police are looking into it right now.”
“She got me expelled from college. She needs to fix it. Tell them I didn’t hurt you! Tell them!” He shouts with a crazed look in his eyes.
Sirens can be heard in the distance as I slip my head under Evan’s arm and plaster myself to his side. With a smile at my small victory, I direct my attention back to the crazy asshat in front of us. “Tom, I told them it was an accident and I didn’t press charges. I’m not sure what you think I did to cause any of this trouble but I told them I didn’t believe you did anything on purpose. What else do you want me to do? I really think you need to leave. Now.”
“You will fix it or by god, I’ll fix you!” He rushes forward. At that moment Evan shoves me toward Lucas, who catches me, then tackles Tom to the ground. With Tom being human, it doesn’t take much of an effort for Evan to flip him over and pin his arms behind his back as Tom takes a swing.
Two police cars pull up with several officers getting out and they quickly take in the scene before them. Officer Stevenson steps forward. “You can release him now. He will behave,” He says as he gives Evan a nod. Evan takes a few steps back as I rush to Evan’s side and wrap my arms around his waist. Tom looks up at us dumbfounded.
“Can someone explain to me what is going on here?” The new officer looks at Evan. He seems to be sizing him up.
“He showed up and was talking crazy,” I steam. I am pissed, I’m over this drama, he needs to tell it to some other mama. “I want him to leave me alone!” I’m at a near shout by the time I finish.
“I’m detective Smith. I’m in charge of the investigation of your car accident. With the evidence showing that someone cut the brake line, we’ve concluded that it wasn’t an accident but sabotage. We have found fingerprints and are running them for matches.” Turning to Tom as he stands up, “Your professor did make a statement of concern, and she named you as a person of interest. And by your actions here, she did the right thing.”
“Now just a damn minute,” Tom starts but the detective puts his hand up.
“I’m not done. We pulled the security camera videos from the college up to two hours before the accident and found something interesting.” He continues, “It shows that you were messing around Ms. Olive’s truck right before she left the college. I would like to know what you were doing exactly.”
Overwhelmed with complete horror and disbelief that someone would go to such lengths, I lean into Evan’s side. He looks at me and caresses my cheek. My bear purrs from the affection until I look over at Tom who is still staring at me with contempt and hatred. My bear then growls before I can control it.
Evan is vibrating with rage. His bear has not stopped rumbling since I came outside. I know the only reason he is holding on to his bear by a thread is because of the police presence. But if this dickhead doesn’t leave soon, I think that thread will snap. “Can you please just have him leave?” I need Tom to leave, he gives me the creeps and Evan’s bear isn’t the only one on edge. I look around and see the guys all looking at Tom like he is going to be their next meal. With all the tension going around, it’s not sitting well with my new bear.
“Actually we came to talk to you about the case, but we had already put a BOLO out on him to bring him in for questioning,” He turns from me to Tom and walks toward him.
Tom throws his hands up as to stop him. “Now just wait a minute, I need her to fix this mess she started. The incident on the trail was an accident, and she has everyone believing that I thrown her off that cliff. She’s just a klutz. I mean look at her,” He points in my direction. Evan moves so fast that it takes all of my new shifter senses to register he’s not beside me anymore. Lucas is faster and blocks Evan right before he gets to Tom. I gasp with shock, they both moved so fast. I step in front of Evan and place my hand on his chest. “He’s not worth the trouble.” My bear disagrees and doesn’t want him to calm down but to kick his ass. You are not helping, we need to stay calm, I tell my bear.
The officer sees that the situation is only getting worse, “You can come with us peacefully or we can do it the hard way,” He walks closer to him and places his hand on Tom’s shoulder.
Throwing his shoulder to dislodge the officer’s hand, he tries to step forward. “Damn it! The stupid cunt has ruined everything! Why couldn’t she just die?!” Tom screams at the top of his lungs.
With the stress of the past few days and everyone’s animals so close to the surface and pissed off, at this point my bear has had enough. I release a deep aggressive growl that has everyone stopping and staring at me. “Shit!” Evan says as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me back toward the porch. My body starts to ache and shake with the need to change.
* * *
Evan
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! My bear wants to eat the asshat alive, but I need to stay calm for Layla. She is losing control. I can understand with the situation as it is.
“Your one of them! What the hell! Don’t let her eat me!” Tom scrambles behind the officer in a comical way that has my bear chuffing at him. Seriously, there are still dumbass people out there that still fear us even when we have put enough information out in the world to keep people informed. We don’t eat people, but I may reconsider letting my bear chew on his ass just because.
“Really! You’re a dumbass! We don’t eat people.” Drake speaks up,and voices my thoughts out loud, “But for your special case, I may have a go at ya.”
The officers look nervous at that statement. Lucas rolls his eyes and gives Drake a hard look, “He’s joking, and you,�
� pointing at Drake, “aren’t helping the situation.” Looking back to the detective, “She’s new to this, I think it’s best if you remove him. She will calm down when he’s out of her sight.”
Thank you, Lucas. I still have my arms wrapped around Layla, her body is vibrating. “Shhh, it’s okay. He’s leaving. I’m good and you're safe.” I turn her toward me so she only sees me.
Nodding his head, Detective Stevenson handcuffs Tom and puts him in the back of the police car. “I will need her to make a statement, but I think we got all the evidence that we need to make our arrest stick.”
“We can come to the police station later and do that for you.” I glance at him for a moment, and then back down at my mate. She has calmed some now that she is in my arms.
As the officers leave, we all head back into the main house. I keep my arms around her as we move. I can’t let her go yet. The need to protect is still running high. My bear is piss3ed that he didn’t get a chance to bite that fucker’s head off.
As we make our way into the living room Lucas turns to the group. “I think we need to have a run to release stress,” Looking at me and Layla, “Sooner rather than later.”
Nodding my head in agreement, I turn Layla to look at me, “Come on.” I grab her hand and pull her toward the back of the house. I lead her through the back door onto a massive deck. The others don’t follow which I’m grateful for because she doesn’t need an audience. I gather her in my arms and bend down brushing my mouth over her forehead, down to her cheek leading to her lush lips. I kiss her gently once, twice, and then deepen it to consume her. She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls herself close. I pull back with a groan. We need to shift, my bear wants out and I can feel her bear wrestling with her for control.
I unwrap her arms, but she is resistant. She moans, and I almost lose control and take her here and now. Fuck with the audience. If they don’t want to see, they need to leave. Knowing ,the shit, will record it and post to social media as a prank. I sense the others in the woods waiting. They must have slipped out the front to change.
“We need to shift. It will calm our animals.” I slip her shirt over her head. Looking a little pink in the cheeks, she covers her breasts with her arms.
“There’s no need to be shy. Nudity is normal for shifters unless you want to shred your clothes every time you shift.” I reach up and pull my shirt off and drop my pants to the ground. I pull the buttons on her pants and help her slide them down her legs taking her panties with them. Wrapping my arms around her, I take a deep breath taking in her scent. I unhook her bra from the back and pull the straps down her arms. She pants heavily, as I kiss her shoulder where my mate mark is. I know I’m playing with fire but she is too damn hot not to take my time undressing her like I would unwrap a present on Christmas day. When I’m done she stands in front of me completely bare. I drink her in, and my cock rises to the occasion. As her eyes zero in on my cock, her eyebrows go up and her tongue shoots out to wet her lips then she slightly nibbles on them. She has a look of hunger and it takes every ounce of control to pull my bear back from charging her to claim her all over again. Clearing my throat, “Let’s do this or I won’t be able to control myself.”
“H...how do I do this?” Her voice quivers with need and apprehension. Her hands fidget in front of her. “I’ve only shifted once and it was by accident.”
I place my hands on hers to steady her, “You’ve got this. Just close your eyes and let your bear come forward. She will guide you. Don’t fear her, embrace her.” I step back and in a blink, I shift into my large white bear form. I chuff at her to get her moving.
She closes her eyes as she takes a deep breath and releases it. She changes a little slower than me but only by a fraction of a second. She’s white with shades of dark blonde highlights throughout her coat. Standing next to her, she is several inches shorter than me. I turn and run out through the yard. At the tree line, I turn and chuff at her to follow. She lightly stumbles down the steps and falls on her furry butt before she rushes towards me. She is so damn cute as a bear. As she reaches me, I rub the side of my head against hers and down the side of her body. She reaches up and pushes me, I fall over on my side as I let her. She turns to take off and I playfully wrap my front paws around her back leg and she sprawls out on the ground with a grunt. I’m up and nuzzling her neck before she can start to move. A large roar shatters the quiet play and we both look up. Guess Lucas has had enough of our playfulness. We both head into the woods and catch up with the others.
Chapter Fifteen
Layla
Evan is so provocative. He strips me with slow and patient hands. By the time he is done, I am panting heavily and my core is on fire. I need him, now. But we have an audience, and I can sense them in the woods waiting for us. Taking a steady breath, I give control over to my bear. There is a quick sharp pain then I feel different but still myself. It is the coolest and weirdest feeling ever. My bear is ecstatic that she can finally have free rein and enjoy herself. I can see Allie discreetly standing a few yards into the forest with a huge white bear next to her. I see she still hasn’t shifted.
My attention returns to Evan as he chuffs to me. He is down in the yard near the forest line. I rush forward and stumble down the stairs to reach him. Damn, I went from a size six and a half shoe to paws the size of dinner plates. Landing on my big furry butt, I stand up shaking the fall off. I dash forward after I regain my footing.
When I reach him at the forest line, he rubs me from the side of my face down my flanks. I give him a playful shove and try to run toward the woods but he grabs my back leg and down I go. That was graceful. I hear a massive roar from the forest and my bear instantly wants to reply. I see that Allie and her bear are no longer where I first saw them. Evan leads me into the woods at a fast pace. I can feel the strength of my bear and realize that even with this new strength, I could never keep up with him. He is my big, beautiful, powerful, teddy bear. I snort instead of a giggle and he gives me a questioning look. I shrug my shoulders as best I can in this form. I haven’t quite figured out how to communicate.
We catch up with the others. I can see Allie riding on top of her big white bear who has slight dark undertones. That must be Lucas. There is a bear with white fur with dark streaks through it, that is wrestling with a snow white bear. They must be Drake and Jasper. Three wolves of different shades of brown dash through the trees chasing each other. A solid black wolf stands slightly to the side taking in everyone's activities. I haven’t figured out who is which yet, but I will.
The two wrestling bears are now coming at a mad dash straight toward me. Evan steps in front of me and he seems to get bigger. They rush past me, but I want in on the fun. I take a swipe at the snow white bear and he tumbles head over tail. Chuffing at his spill, I don’t see the other bear coming up behind us and he gives me a big push. Down I go right when the snowy bear grabs a branch from overhead and gives it a big pull. Leaves and debris float down on my body. Evan growls but I chuff at him. It's all in fun.
Evan tires of the game at my expense and leads me away from the clan as they head back toward the big house. We wind around big tall trees and boulders to beyond where a cave rests. The cave looks like it’s been used quite a few times. Evan shifts back to his human form. Wanting to be able to communicate, my bear recedes and I shift back.
I’m a little tired from my shift so I silently walk up to Evan and rest my head against his chest as he circles my body with his arms. My bear and I are content. Shifting to the side, Evan wraps his arm around my shoulder, “Come on, I want to show you something. It’s another one of my favorite spots when I want to be alone in nature.”
He points to the cave entrance. It is covered in vines and surrounded by brush and trees. He takes my hand and leads me into the cave. Just inside the cave, there is a small door that looks handmade. It’s circular in shape and designed to cover the entrance. Cute, he has his own hobbit hole. Further inside, on the right is a large wooden handmad
e bed frame and on the left are small to medium containers. In the center is a fire pit with a metal grate on top. “Wow, this is so cool.” I’m impressed with the craftsmanship of the articles in the room.
Before I can say anything else, Evan spins me around and bends me over the bed pinning me with his teeth on my shoulder. He’s quietly growling and the vibrations are going straight to my center. I’m so hot and my core is slick with need. Sliding his hands up and down the side of my body, they come around and pluck at my nipples. My nipples pebble to hard points that ache for more. My core grips at the emptiness, I need more. “Evan, I need you.” I moan.
Evan kneels down behind me and before I can say anything, he grabs my ass and lifts me so he can lick me from my clit to my center. My knees go weak. Panting heavily, I grab the bed covers to hold on. My bear is close to the surface. She is rolling in the exotic feelings. My claws sprout and rip the bedding. I throw my head back, as he assaults my clit with vigorous abandonment. He sucks and nibbles until I am close to the edge. “More,” I groan. A thick finger invades me. He pushes and pulls, in and out, working me into a frenzy. A second finger joins the first. He slightly curls them and hits my honey spot. I spill over the edge with a scream as he continues to lick at my core, like a thirsty man trying to get the last drop of water. My legs give out and he catches me as he kisses my backside.
Lifting me up in his arms, he lays me back on the bed and climbs up my body, kissing and nipping starting from my ankle up to my neck. Who would have thought the kissing ankle can be a turn on. My body has no strength left, I lay limp, panting to catch my breath. My bear is content and well pleased. She recedes to the back of my mind to bask in total satisfaction. He captures my mouth with his and devours me as he slides his large cock into my core. My body’s only reaction is to clamp down on the invasion which gets a growl from Evan. He pumps in and out and sets a punishing pace. Using my blunt human nails, I claw at his back as sensations run through my body. He changes the angle of his entry and on every push, he hits my honey spot on the inside and his pelvis hits my clit on the outside. With both spots being aroused at the same time, it doesn’t take long for me to reach the cusp of another release. His body tightens with tension as my body explodes. I scream before I clamp down on his shoulder with my teeth and his cock with my pussy. With a roar, he returns the favor and strikes me with his teeth on the same mark. It sends sparks through my body and throws me into another orgasm as he finds his release.
