Shifters with Secrets (An MMF Bisexual Threesome)(40)
Ryder looked at Clay and they started laughing. “Since when do the Hudson Crew care about territories?” he asked. “Or did you forget that you’re always parachuting into our area, putting out fires?”
“What do you guys want?” Ellis asked. “I’ll go with you, just leave the girl out of this.”
“Why would we want you, baby alpha?” Clay asked.
Ryder and Clay looked past him at Alexi. Ellis’ stomach dropped.
“Are you Alexi Winters?” Clay asked.
Ellis glanced at her over his shoulder. Her face was a ghostly white and her hand was trembling. His bear pushed forward but Ellis held him back. It was still best to settle this with words. If that was possible.
“Your husband is looking for you,” Ryder said.
“He’s not my husband,” she said.
“What’s it to you,” Ellis asked, stepping to the side, blocking their view of his mate. They turned their eyes to him.
“Her husband is Greg McCoy. Of McCoy Industries.”
Ellis’ mouth dropped. Her ex was the owner of the company that the Flint Crew worked for and these evil bear shifters were on his payroll.
Clay stepped forward. “She’s coming with us.”
Ellis’ bear surged to the surface and there was no stopping him.
Ellis let him come.

Alexi should have known that Greg would find her. He had connections everywhere, owned companies all over the country. She had no idea that he owned a logging company here in Montana, but she wasn’t surprised either.
Not only was she going to be sent back to a pissed off Greg, but she had put her new friends in danger.
Ellis stood in front of her with his hands clenched into fists, and his muscles jacked. He looked like he was going to fight to the death for her.
He looked terrifying, but those two other guys looked scary as well. They were just as big as Ellis and had chilling orange eyes.
“She’s coming with us,” the one full of tattoos said. He stepped forward and a wild, savage growl surged from Ellis’ chest.
Alexi stepped back as her new love’s back grew, like an inflating balloon. Millions of small brown hairs popped out of his skin as his body swelled before her. She stared in horror as his insides crunched, ripped and snapped. He growled viciously and with a blink of an eye Ellis’ possessed body exploded into a massive grizzly bear.
Ellis stood on his hind legs and roared so loud that Alexi had to cover her ears. The bear standing before her looked like a monster. Over ten feet tall with long, thick, black claws that looked as sharp as swords. Its burly, muscled back was brawny and powerful, its dark fur, long and thick. Her heart raced so fast that it hurt her chest. She swallowed a scream, unable to make any noise.
The terrifying bear turned around and looked at Alexi with silver eyes. Her legs and knees went weak and she almost fell to the ground. The eye had a touch of sadness to it when he looked at her and she recognized that it was Ellis. This beast was Ellis.
Alexi looked past him at the two members of the Flint Crew. Their heads were swelling as their skin turned dark. Her mouth dropped as their noses extended forward and their hands curled with long claws sprouting forth from their fingertips. Their bodies ripped and cracked as two black bears burst out of their bodies. They stood on their hind legs and roared.
Alexi awoke from her trance, turned and ran. She sprinted through the trees until the three bears were behind her. She jumped over logs as tree branches whipped across her face. Her heart was pumping, adrenaline coursing through her veins, as she ducked under a branch and pushed forward.
Birds flew out of the trees as vicious, inhuman, snarling and growling erupted from behind her. A large cracking sound filled the forest and then the falling of a tree as she forced her trembling legs to work harder.
Her lungs were on fire. The sound of blood pumping in her ears, somewhat muted the hair-raising sounds of the bear fight behind her. She tripped on a root and went flying forward, raising her hands to break her fall. Her elbow slammed into a rock and her head hit the ground. She looked up dazed and heard something coming from behind. She glanced back and saw the tops of the trees swaying as something made its way after her.
“Shit,” she cursed. She pushed her body up with her hands and her right arm gave way. She collapsed back to the dirt.
She turned and screamed as a grizzly bear burst through the trees. He stopped in front of her and looked at her with sad, silver eyes. His breathing was heavy and he had several long gashes across his body. He was bleeding from a deep cut on his snout. He raised his nose, smelled the air and then curled in on himself. He started shrinking, the long brown hair receding back into skin.
Alexi gasped as the large bear paws turned into human fingers and the long snout shriveled into a human nose. The bear was gone and a naked Ellis was crouched in his place, breathing heavily and wincing in pain.
Alexi reached out and touched his shoulder and he flinched. “Are you okay?” she asked.
He had a long, nasty gash on his nose. His chest was raked with claw marks, with blood gushing down his skin.
“We have to go,” he said, with a strained, raspy voice.
“Your chest…”
“Will heal. I have to get you out of here. Back to the crew.”
He lifted her up in his hands and ran down the mountain. He ran fast and nimble, leaping over logs and ducking under trees, protecting Alexi from the branches with his body.
