idea?” asked Crystal.
    “Come on, pretty human, just play with us,” said one of the wolves, licking his lips. All the spinning was making Crystal dizzy, and she couldn’t tell them apart.
    “Stop it!” shouted Crystal. “Help! Somebody help me!”
    Before anyone could answer Crystal’s cries, she saw, out of the corner of her eye, Damien. He was holding armfuls of food and searching and looking for Crystal.
    “Damien!” shouted Crystal, hoping he could hear her, even though the park was loud and noisy with people hustling and bustling. “Damien!”
    Crystal saw Damien’s head move as he angled his ears to hear her, and she then saw him turn to face their spot...and then, she saw Damien drop the items in his arms, and start running, not walking, not briskly walking, but running, over to the wolves...
    ...And mid run, she saw Damien do something amazing.
    Damien got down on all fours and rolled, and mid roll, his clothes all came off. No, they didn’t come off...they exploded off of his body, turning into tattered scraps of fabric, as what burst forth was not a man, but a bear, and not just a bear, but a half-ton war machine covered in a layer of thick brown fur, sporting a set of eyes that weren’t warm and caring like the eyes of Damien the lover, but which were filled with fire and brimstone like a bear out of Hell, as this was Damien the protector, and he was pissed.
    The two wolves backed away from Crystal, but not to let Damien get to her...but to shift into their forms. As soon as they stepped back from her, they shifted, into their wolf forms, the forms twice the size of a normal wolf, but still half the size of the bear. What they lacked in size they more than made up for in agility...and they technically had the numbers benefit.
    The bear roared at the wolves, and locked eyes with Crystal and motioned for her to walk over to its side, but as soon as she moved, the wolves snapped at her and showed their fangs before growling.
    Threatening the woman he wanted. That was all it took for Damien to snap. He lunged forward and swiped at the wolves, who turned and snapped at him. Crystal walked into the ring of people that had formed, a group that was oddly quiet. She looked: there was a shirtless man with a symbol on his chest. She carefully walked up to him and got his attention. “What do we do? We’ve got to stop them!” she said.
    The man looked down and shook his head before chuckling. “You must really not be from around here.”
    “They’re going to kill each other!” said Crystal.
    “Kill each other? Heck, I’d be surprised if anyone even broke a bone,” said the man. “Wolves, they’re all bark, no bite, and bears...well, let me tell you. We can take wolves. Easily.”
    “Even two at a time?” asked Crystal.
    “Your man’s gonna be fine,” said the shifter. “Just watch.”
    Crystal turned and watched the scene that was going on.
    The wolves circled back and forth, walking back and forth around Damien, who was tense, on all fours, and waiting, watching, a land mine made of fur, ready to explode at any second. To the wolves, it was obvious this was a game, but to Damien, it was a war, but he kept his head together.
    The bear inside roared. If only Damien had claimed Crystal, protected her, then she wouldn’t’ve had to deal with these assholes, the men who could barely be called more than the animals they shifted into, who were more dogs than wolves, although to call them dogs would be an insult to man’s furry friends. No, these men were just scumbags, who were going after the most gorgeous girl they’d ever seen because she was alone and vulnerable, but they had no idea that, in front of a beast like Damien, they were more vulnerable than they’d been in their entire lives, even if they weren’t alone.
    One of the wolves looked at the other and barked something, and that was Damien’s in. He lunged forward, smacking the wolf in the face, before rolling over the wolf, pinning
