Espen Urso would rather stay inside and enjoy a nice, sweet cake than be out in the worst storm of the year. But there’s a group of alpha shifters trespassing, and he needs to defend his territory and keep the people in his village safe. A group of wolf shifters he can scare off, but when he realizes they’ve hurt a defenseless little bird, he loses his patience.<br><br>Arvid Rai is having a bad day. He’s an omega on the run, with a group of alphas on his tail. If there hadn’t been a storm, he could have easily flown away before the stupid wolves got their hands on him, or the angry bear noticed he was in his territory. But there is a storm, and the idiot who grabbed him broke his wing, so now he can’t fly anywhere. Still, he deems it best to stay with the growly bear rather than having the other alphas fight over him.<br><br>Espen has never believed in the myth of omegas, and it isn’t until he takes Arvid in he realizes how much trouble he’ll be in when shifters from near and far learn he has one in his home. Will he be able to keep Arvid safe from other shifters? Is it even possible to defend his territory with an omega in it?

Blown Away

“Fuck.” The bear ducked, cradling Arvid to his chest, as twigs rained over them. “That was close, huh? We need to get out of here. I didn’t think it possible, but the wind is increasing.” The bear trotted up to the fallen tree, climbed over it, then he ran at a controlled pace. Each step jarred, and Arvid wanted to whimper as pain formed a bubble around him. He focused on his breathing as the surrounding sounds dulled, a buzz grew in his ears, and a floaty feeling overtook his mind. The trees bent over them, cracks coming from both behind and ahead.


Arvid hadn’t realized the dangers of a forest in a storm. He’d thought it’d give him shelter, not that he’d end up underneath a tree. The bear tried shielding his face from the worst of the rain, but he held Arvid’s shoe in one hand and Arvid in the other. Poor thing didn’t have any clothes on.
