Chosen by the Guardian Bear
(2026)(The fifth book in the Night Shift: Bears of Valor 2 series)
A novel by Ciera Knox
Sasha
I've been running so long I forgot what safe felt like. Then I collapsed on Colburn land—half-starved, clutching the drive that could destroy the Iron Syndicate forever—and woke up to a pair of earnest brown eyes and the most intoxicating scent I've ever known. Carson is everything I'm not: innocent, trusted, good. He should turn me in. Instead, he hides me. Feeds me. Touches me like I'm something worth protecting. But the Syndicate is coming for what I stole, and loving him might be the most dangerous thing I've survived.
Carson
They still call me "Cub." The kid. The one who stays behind. Then I find her—rogue, wounded, fierce—hiding in my secret cave with a stolen drive and eyes that dare me to be the man I've always wanted to be. Sasha is trouble wrapped in survival instincts, and my bear doesn't care. She's mine. The entire Syndicate is coming to take her back, and for the first time, I'm not staying behind. I'm standing in front.
When the final battle comes, will their forbidden love be the clan's salvation—or its destruction?
Join Sasha and Carson in this steamy short story where the youngest bear proves he's the fiercest for the Bears of Valor!
