Free Snowbound With The Bear (Bear Creek Clan 4) by Harmony Raines

warm supper waiting for us. Poor old Hal needs to keep his strength up. You know how demanding the first couple of weeks are.”
    Hal blushed and Brad burst out laughing. “I will see you both soon. And take care, Hal.”
    He stood with Sam and watched the sheriff leave, and then they went inside the farmhouse. The smell of proper food, not something dried and out of a packet, assailed his senses. Hal looked across to Fiona and smiled, but his heart was heavy. Now that she was back in civilisation, would this be where she chose to stay?
     

Chapter Eighteen – Fiona
    “You know, I’m beginning to think this pack is cursed,” Fiona said.
    They were back on the mountainside, with the pack laid out ready to go onto Hal’s back. Unfortunately, something had smelled the food and helped itself, spoiling some of the contents.
    “As long as my coffee is OK, it’s worth getting it back to the cabin. In a few days we could go back down to Bear Creek.”
    “I don’t mind dried rations for a week or more. I’ve had enough of people for now. I want to enjoy you all to myself. That hibernating thing you talked about, I think it could catch on with this wolf.”
    Hal looked up at the sky. “That might not be a bad idea. We are about to have another foot or two of snow.”
    “At least the pass will remain closed. So we don’t have to worry about visitors.”
    “I don’t think you’ll be seeing Kurt again in a hurry.”
    “I wasn’t thinking about Kurt. I was thinking more of my parents.”
    “Your parents?” He looked at her with a worried expression.
    “Yes. I wrote the letter, like you said, and Sam said he would make sure he mailed it. When they know where I am, I expect a visit.”
    “I don’t know, you pick one wolf up and all of a sudden you have to expect visitors.”
    “Yes. Old bear, I’m afraid your life has changed now you have a mate.”
    He turned and looked at her. “I am looking forward to it.”
    “Really? You haven’t met my family yet.”
    He laughed. “You haven’t met mine, either.”
    “Is that something I can look forward to? You’ll introduce me to them?”
    “Yes. I think Sam was right. We should get married. Invite our families.”
    “You have changed.” She felt a rush of pleasure at the thought of being married to him.
    “All because of you,” he said and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms.
    Their lips touched and they kissed. “Come on, we need to get back. The fires will have gone out.”
    “I guess we’ll have to find another way to keep warm for a while,” she teased.
    Hal looked at her. “That sounds like a good idea. Here, help me with this pack. Then I can change. The sooner we get back to the cabin, the sooner I can use my body heat to warm you up.”
    “Friction. That is the key.” She smiled at the look on his face; he was imagining the friction of his body moving against hers.
    “I’m ready.” With that, the bear appeared before her; in an instant, she had changed too.
    Together they ran through the trees, climbing up to the small cabin they called home. The sun glinting off the pure white snow as the odd couple, bear and wolf, raced each other up the side of the mountain where a lonely bear had once lived.
