Awakened By The Lost Bear Shifter
(2026)(A book in the Redwood Ridge Shifters series)
A Story by Demi Wilder
My bear has been dying for eighteen years. She's the only thing soft enough to wake him.
I left Bear Creek at eighteen and spent the next eighteen years becoming someone else. Security work — the kind that takes you to places you can't talk about and gives you skills you'd rather forget. I missed my Waking. I suppressed my bear until the bear stopped fighting.
I didn't know I was killing him until Aspen Hollow's seers told my Alpha. His bear is dying. Send the small one. Send the gentle one. She's the key.
Meg Chen arrived at my door with reading glasses and a quiet smile and a black bear so soft it shouldn't be able to wake anything.
She woke everything.
The first time I scent her, my caged bear claws to the surface so hard I bleed from the inside. The first time she touches me, his eyes open. The first time she shifts in front of me — tiny black bear, glossy and gentle and absolutely his — I drop to my knees.
She came to heal me. She doesn't know she's my fated mate. She doesn't know that what's waking inside me is going to come out raw and hungry and harder to control than anything she's ever survived.
She's going to learn that the man she came to save is the home she didn't know she was looking for.
And my bear is going to spend the rest of his life thanking hers for refusing to let him die.
Awakened by the Lost Bear Shifter is a fated-mates bear shifter romance featuring a dormant grizzly clawing back to life, the gentle healer whose scent is the key, and the homecoming that costs everything to claim. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhangers.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
