Redeem the Bear (Bear Valley Shifters #5)(36)

“Come here, you sappy human,” Corin murmured, pulling them all in close.

She talked to them on the phone all the time, but it wasn’t the same as being near them. Corin pressed her cheek against Anya’s and hugged the others to her tighter. Chase nodded a greeting and Brody gave her a two fingered wave, and Juan, Cameron and Riker moved to greet her mate.

It felt so damned good to have everyone back together.

She watched Riker shake Brooks’ hand, and they both bowed their heads respectfully as they spoke low through matching smiles.

Bear Valley and Long Claw—two of the greatest bear shifter clans in the world, and they had ended their centuries of pretend alliances and war because of these two great alphas.

Hannah rested her forehead against Corin’s and said, “They did well, didn’t they?”

In the field of wildflowers, in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains, both clans were meeting, talking…laughing.

Corin drew her gaze back to Brooks and Riker, the alphas who had changed everything.

Brooks looked at her and smiled slow, like he could sense how proud she was.

Because of them, peace had come to her kind.

Because of them, bear shifters would rise again.
