Shifters with Secrets (An MMF Bisexual Threesome)(44)

She covered her ears as the bear stood on two legs, his head bent down against the low ceiling and growled. The lion bounded forward and the angry bear slammed into him.

Stinging claws flew at each other as the two predators wrestled together on the floor in a blur of gold and brown.

Greg’s lion wailed as Ellis’ bear sunk his teeth into his hind leg. The lion swatted his heavy paw into the bear’s face, catching him with his claws. Blood spewed out of the bear’s eye but he held on with his strong jaws, crunching the lion’s leg bone.

Alexi gasped, wanting to run over to help her man and her bear but there was nothing she could do. He was hurt. Blood was pouring out of his closed eye.


The lion kicked free. He pounced on Ellis’ neck, trying to sink his jaws into the bear. Ellis smacked him away with his left paw but Greg sunk his teeth into his arm as he kicked his hind legs and slashed his claws into Ellis’ stomach.

Alexi turned away as blood flowed out of Ellis’ gashes. He’ll be okay. She remembered the cuts on his nose and chest after his last fight and how quickly they healed.

The bear toppled over with a grunt and the lion sprung on top of him. Ellis was in bad shape. Blood was pooling on the floor under him.

Alexi’s heart was thumping as adrenaline coursed through her veins. She picked up the heavy chair over her head and slammed it on the lion’s back. It shattered on his spine and he stumbled off her bear.

He turned around and snarled at her, showing his long, yellow fangs. She backed up, unable to breathe, as he stalked towards her, hissing.

Her bear stood up behind him and growled. He leapt onto the lion, stomping him with his massive paws. The lion went down with a yelp and Ellis rolled on top of him, sinking his teeth into his neck.

Greg’s black, lion eyes went wide and glazed over as Ellis took his life from him.

The lion went still and Ellis released his jaw. His eye was still closed, with blood trickling down from inside his lid.

Greg was dead in front of her. Her bear had saved her. Greg would never be able to torment her or hurt her again.

Ellis’ bear curled in on itself and Alexi watched in amazement as the bear transformed back into a man. He was full of nasty cuts and his eye was still shut.

“Are you okay?” she asked, rushing over and touching his warm skin. Blood flowed over her hand.

He was breathing heavy and winced when he moved. “We have to get you to the truck,” he said.

There was still fighting going on downstairs. The vicious sounds of bears roaring and snarling echoed in the large mill.

“We have to go down there?” she asked, horrified. She didn’t even want to imagine what was going on down there.

He limped over to the window and slid it open. “I know a shortcut.”

He picked her up as easily as if she was a child and leapt out the window. She held her breath as his feet slammed into the ground, absorbing the impact.

He ran over to the truck as the rest of his crew limped and walked out of the large doors of the mill in their human forms. The six men were bloodied, bruised and naked. She tried not to look. But wasn’t very successful.

“What happened?” Ellis called out.

“They submitted,” Beckett responded, wincing and holding his ribs as he spoke. He limped towards them.

“What does that mean?” Alexi asked.

“It’s over,” Ellis responded. “For now.”

Alexi reached the top of Bear Mountain and threw her hands in the air. She spun around and smiled at Ellis hiking up the path behind her. He smiled back, adjusting his black eye patch. His eye never healed after the fight with Greg’s lion three weeks ago. Keene was like a kid in a candy store with all of the pirate jokes flying out of his mouth. Alexi thought it looked sexy. It made him look like even more of a bad ass.

“It’s time,” she said, throwing her arms around him and kissing his lips.

He nudged her away, clearly nervous for what was to come. “I really think we should do this near a doctor.”

“A doctor?” she replied raising her eyebrow.

“There are shifter doctors,” he said. “They are trained in case of any…complications.”

“It’s going to be fine. I’m going to be fine.” She pulled his head back to her. She ran her tongue along his, tasting his sweetness, and then nipped his bottom lip. “I want to do it here. Just the two of us. It’s sexier this way.”

“It’s anything but sexy,” he said, pulling away from her. “It’s painful, violent and intense.”

“Exactly. Just like sex. Come,” she said pulling him to a patch of grass.

She took off her shoes and sat on the grass, admiring the view. The excited, snowcapped mountains in the distance, thrust into the blue sky. The exuberant river down below, snaked in and out through the vigorous trees. She dug her bare toes in the cool grass and looked up, letting the warm sun wash over her face.

Ellis crouched down beside her. “Look Alexi I…”

She kissed his lips, cutting him off. She was tired of arguing. She wanted this. She wanted him. Forever.

There was only one way that she could live in a clan of shifters. One dangerous way that could end in her death.

But she was willing to take that chance. For him. She’d rather die than be without him.
