The Bear Shifter's Promise
(2019)(The first book in the Black Oak Shifters series)
A Novella by Martha Woods
An untouched forest full of sexy alpha bear and hunky wolf shifters.
Can these rival clans protect their mates or will they fail to guard them against the dangerous evils lurking?
Orson, leader of the bear clan, has been struggling with the knowledge that within a year, his people very well may die out. The Black Oak woods had been home to the Porter family for generations, before electricity and civilization had made its mark on the country, they had been roaming through the trees and protecting nature from interlopers, working hand in hand with those who would see their lands restored.
But as all things do, civilization outdid them, pushing them to the brink of extinction just as it had so many others before, and thus they had been forced to adapt to the brave new world that they now found themselves living in. Taking in new members and spreading their knowledge to those who would use it for good, helping those that needed help and punishing those that needed punishing, they found themselves with a new purpose that those that came before them hadn’t anticipated.
“Who are you?” He asked, not the politest opener but perhaps the most necessary.
Just because this was a time of peace didn’t mean that it was a time of complete non-violence.
“I’m just a traveler,” The intruder said, stepping out of the trees and revealing themselves to be a woman, long hair the color of the sun flowing down her shoulders, tanned skin peeking out from a tank top that she wore untucked over a pair of jeans.
Not exactly the most appropriate for the climate, which meant that she was either incredibly stupid or not an ordinary traveler.
He was not so foolish as to dismiss the latter.
So, she was a shifter, though not one of his clan.
And she’d admitted it so easily… maybe it was just paranoia, but something about that easy-going attitude didn’t quite sit right with him.
But with no other plays in mind, his only option was to go along with it. “Fine,” He said, taking a knee and keeping his ears open, “But what are you doing out here all by yourself? Just because we’re not supposed to be fighting doesn’t mean we wouldn’t.”
“No, but I think we both remember what that was like.” She grinned, teeth just sharper than you would expect them to be if you didn’t know what she was. Holding her hand out, she said, “I’m Jennifer, and I need your help…”
