he claimed her as his once more.
    She bit his bottom lip in response, the flicker of pain only spurring him on to take her harder. “It’s a good thing then that this is our one and only night together, since I’ll be gone come morning.”
    He nearly laughed out loud. As if he was ever going to let her go. How could he when it would mean a lifetime of misery for him? “I wish you weren’t in such a hurry to leave me just so you can run off and get yourself killed.”
    She pulled free of his cock and turned to face him, her hands on his shoulder as she pushed him back against the mattress and straddled him. She was slick enough that, despite his generous size, she slid down his length effortlessly, catching her lip between her teeth as she took him in his entirety. The look on her face, the way her mouth opened on a gasp and heady breath, the way her eyes slipped shut in utter pleasure was nearly enough to have him coming again.
    And then he caught the musky scent of bear, pulling Juno off him as he leapt to his feet, a growl raging through him with a fury. He felt the need to shift but fought it, knowing the bears wouldn’t dare start a war. “Stay here in this room and get dressed.”
    Leaving her in his bed, naked and scared, he headed for the door, not bothering to grab his jeans. He walked out onto the porch, his vision sharp despite the darkness. Six bears that he could see, one of them shifting into their human form. “Thought it might be you, Sawyer.”
    “Atticus is dead. Don’t suppose you know anything about that?” Sawyer stood before him, though he kept a safe and respectful distance—for now.
    “I do. He attacked my mate—toyed with her… was going to rape her —when he dropped dead.” It was nothing but the truth, even if it didn’t make sense.
    “You know we don’t just drop dead—not when we’re young and healthy, which means someone put him in that grave.” Sawyer shook his head. “I’m not saying Atticus wasn’t a fucking asshole—but he’s dead, and your mate’s scent is all over him. His people are looking for answers.”
    “You mean they’re looking for blood.” Of course they were. But if they thought Greyson was going to just turn her over so they could question her, they could guess again. “And of course her scent is all over him, since he was mauling her. Do you really think a tiny human female could take down a bear shifter?”
    “And yet, he’s dead. Besides, if she had nothing to do with Atticus’s death, then there’s nothing to worry about. Is there?” Sawyer shrugged his broad shoulders, not looking too broken up about Atticus leaving the world early. Greyson knew Sawyer well enough, and liked him. He was a fair and intelligent man, though that didn’t mean Greyson trusted the other members of the bear clan—especially not the ones related to Atticus.
    “I trust you, Sawyer—but not the others. Not when they’re looking for revenge.” Greyson paced the wood decking of his porch, glad that Sawyer was at least keeping a respectful distance. They may be on friendly enough terms, but these weren’t normal circumstances. “And let’s not forget, she was the one who was attacked— she was the one who was nearly raped. It’s not her fault he dropped dead. If anything, she’s the one who should be taking issue with your clan for being harmed—not to mention he was on wolf territory.”
    Sawyer’s eyes narrowed as he took Greyson in—not that Greyson was fazed by it. “He had no right to trespass—but that’s an entirely different problem. Look…I’ll speak to his family, but I can tell you now, they won’t care about any of the details aside from the fact that one of theirs is dead—especially when it’s fucking unheard of. She had something to do with it, and his kin want her head. I’m sorry, Greyson, but you know they’re not going to rest until they’ve had their revenge.”
    “If they come near her, not only will they have me to worry
