(BEAR SHIFTER Erotica (BBW)): BEAR-ly a Brother (Paranormal Werebear Romance Polar Heat Book) by Grace Valentine Page A

piercing pain in his back, while in the process of delivering another punch to the victim’s puffed and blood filled face. The man let out a loud scream, which echoed throughout the field. While the attacker fell to the ground, the victim had the chance to get up and limp away. The bear walked over to the attacker and stood over his lifeless body. One swift blow to the back was enough to kill the man and the bear took pride in this.
                  Suddenly, the bear grew in size and formed into the shape of a man. Dark blonde hair spurted from its head, tan skin replaced all the brown fur, and a beautiful face took over the intimidating bear face. Jeremy Beemer replaced where the bear once was. He watched over his victim’s body. A large smirk plastered itself across his face. “You deserved it, bitch,” he laughed as he gave the body a final kick.
                  Jeremy made his way back to party, loving what he had just done. A thief lost his life besides an innocent man, and Jeremy could sleep peacefully tonight. He knew something had been wrong and he wouldn’t have been able to calm down until he found of what it was. Luckily, he got to the scene just in time to stop the attacker. This wasn’t Jeremy’s first “life-saving”, rather he had done it time and time before. Many innocent victims had been spared, thanks to Jeremy. He was becoming your everyday Batman, in bear form.
                  Nova sat, entertaining guests and talking about her father’s marriage. She worried as Jeremy ran from the backyard, however she kept her cool. No one else at the party was making a scene, so Nova believed that Jeremy was going to be okay. She didn’t realize what Jeremy had gone to do, or the fact that he could shape-shift into a bear. It was obvious that Nova had a lot to learn about her brand new step-brother; especially that he had always had feelings for her. Things were about to change in Nova’s life and, really, everyone’s around her.

                  The television light reflected itself upon Nova’s pretty face. It was early, the morning after the party. Nova was the only one that was up. She wanted to start breakfast for her family, so she decided to wake up earlier than them. The morning news had just started and quickly caught Nova’s attention, because of the headlining story. The normal intro music played and the anchors sat staring into the camera. It focused in on the anchorwoman, and she began to speak. “Breaking news this morning: A body was found in the empty field on 11 th Street.” Nova’s stomach practically fell to her feet. 11 th Street was only a few miles away from where she was, it was too close for comfort. The anchorwoman went on to explain the situation, saying that the victim was originally robbing another man. The original victim, who had his life spared thanks to Jeremy, went straight to the police to report the incident. He had never seen what attacked the other man, he escaped as quickly as he could.
                  “Investigators had confirmed that a large animal was responsible for stopping the robbery and ending the attacker’s life,” the anchorman explained. “Please stay clear of the local wooded areas and fields. Be sure to watch for any larger animals. Do not approach them, if they are seen, rather call animal control immediately,” he concluded. After hearing the whole story, Nova flipped through the channels until she found her favorite morning talk show. She listened to it as she prepared her wonderful breakfast. She cracked eggs, grilled bacon and pour waffle-mix into the maker. Some of the jokes from the show would have her chuckle or gasp, but all of her attention was on breakfast.
                  Nova was an artist at heart, so any project she took on, she made it her best. Any meal, painting, song, poem, you name it that she worked on, she made
