THE SECRET BEAR DADDY THREE FRACTIONS
The man gave his son another tight squeeze, then set him down. “Why don’t you go see Uncle Tuck while I talk to these nice people?”Sammy frowned. “Is he mad at me?”His hand rubbed over Sammy’s messy hair. “Not at all. We’re just glad you’re okay.”The boy nodded, then ran for the group of men who had moved a little closer but still were about twenty feet away from us.“I’m Jack,” the dad said, walking toward me. This time, without a murderous glare.I shook his offered hand. “Atlas.” I nodded behind him. “That’s Elena in grey and Amy in white.”“What happened to my son?” Jack demanded, glancing behind me, likely at Sammy.Elena stepped forward and moved to my side. My arm twitched to pull her against me and mark my territory, but I refrained as she began to speak.“Sammy told me that he was swinging with his friends while the adults talked. The ‘bad man’ as he called the asshole we have tied up in the van, apparently had balloons and, from the sounds of it, was hiding behind some bu

I hadn’t thought I could want him more, but he seemed to prove me wrong every single day.We each took a seat around the table, the food long forgotten, and waited for Amy to tell us what she’d seen.Her palms pressed over the table, and she took a deep breath. “I’ve never had one so vivid before. Normally, my visions come in small snippets that I have to put together before I know what they’re saying, but this one spoke loud and clear.”I leaned forward in my chair. “What did you learn?”“It’s hard to describe what I see,” she answered, “but what I translated from the images was huge. Jacob and Hazel were working with Dylan. He was under strict orders to make himself known within the House, but not to take over until he was told it was time.”I was pretty sure he’d been told this week, given how quickly he’d challenged me.Amy continued. “Hazel was here last night with the group that attacked Jacks’s people. That’s why nobody could track where the shifters went once Tuck knew they we

jack glanced down briefly and closed his eyes. When he reopened them, he stood and nodded. “We’re going to finish this. Together. What do you want to do?”There was the shifter I was hoping to see.“We need to gather those who want to fight,” Elena said. “But they need to be fully aware that this could be a fight to the death. Not everyone is going to make it back home. Not when the other side has a witch working for them.”He nodded and grimaced. “Let me see what I can do about countering Hazel. I’ve been stockpiling certain things for an emergency situation. I might have enough potions that I’ve traded for to make a difference.”His words reminded me that I had a whole house full of shit that I’d acquired over the years in my dealings.I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of that before, but if Amy could get me there without having to make the several-hours-long drive, then we’d have an advantage Jacob and Hazel wouldn’t be expecting.“Do you need help preparing your people?” Elena a
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY STIFFENED
“Unfortunately, ‘this mess’ is only beginning,” I reminded her. “Being Alpha Supreme of a House that has been through everything that Fire and Fluorite has over the last two-plus decades isn’t going to be easy, but you’ll learn who you can trust to handle some of the issues that come up. They won’t always fall on you.”“Like you?” she asked with a small grin playing on her lips.“As much as I haven’t wanted to be part of a House in past years, I wouldn’t be anywhere other than where you are,” I said. “Plus, you’ll have Ryder.”“And Amy and Mark,” she said hopefully.I wasn’t so sure about that.I stroked her back. “You might need to prepare yourself in accepting that there’s a chance they’ll go back to Blood and Beryl.”Her face jerked back as if that shouldn’t have even been an option. “Why would they do that? This was Mark’s home for most of his life.”“Exactly,” I said.She nibbled on her cheek, then sighed. “I see your point. It might be too much for him to stay here. Too many rem
THE SECRET BEAR DADDY LATCH
Without waiting to hear his response, I grabbed Elena’s hand and pulled her to my room, which had already been ransacked. “Fuck,” I muttered.Thankfully, I wasn’t a moron and had hidden most of my more important items, but still, we’d only be taking back half of what I’d hoped for.My dresser was toppled over, and the drawers were all broken. The closet door had been ripped from the hinges, and all my clothes were shredded and lying on the floor or on my bed, which had been overturned.Elena gasped next to me, taking in the destruction. “I’m so sorry, Atlas.”“They’re just things,” I said as I shoved the box spring and mattress out of my way.When I’d tracked down someone’s runaway teenager and only asked for cloaking spells in return, they’d thought I was crazy, but they’d sure the hell come in handy now.Quickly, I ripped the wooden slats up from the floor and unearthed three chests. One smaller and the most important, the other two larger and filled with weapons and other potions.

She looked up with admiration I didn’t expect. “I’m sure she’s proud of the man you’ve become.”I wasn’t sure about that, but there were other things we needed to be discussing instead of diving back into my past.“You should pick your weapon of choice,” I said, nodding to the other trunks sitting on the floor next to us.While Elena opened the first, I took the memento box and tucked it in the attached bathroom behind the pipes under the sink. It was as good a place as any for now.When I came back into the room, Elena was wielding a sword. It was one that required two hands to handle, but she didn’t seem to have any problems keeping it upright.“You want that one?” I asked as I opened the second chest.She peeked inside, then set the sword on the bed. “It’s a contender.”I handed her a set of matching daggers that she set next to the sword after swiping them through the air a few times. Then she tried out throwing stars that ended back in the box along with the nunchucks, a flail, a

THE SECRET BEAR DADDY DOUBLE CHECKING
“Let’s go, then,” Atlas said as he rejoined us.The sword he’d picked last night was resting across his back with the handle up. That, combined with his black pants and charcoal shirt that formed nicely around his defined muscles, easily increased his sex appeal by a thousand percent.Basically, he was the definition of sex on a stick. Even better, he was all mine.Atlas strode to my side and whispered in my ear, “Keep looking at me like that and we’re not leaving this house.”Nodding, I gulped then attempted to distract myself by double-checking that my twin daggers were strapped to my thighs over the tight, black pants.They were as secure as they could get in the sheaths Atlas had given me, and there wasn’t anything left for us to do except meet up with the others.Amy and Mark had already opened the front door, and when I moved to exit ahead of Atlas, a loud explosion sounded around us, vibrating the floor I still stood on.“What the fuck was that?” I seethed.“Seems like the figh
