Last night, we became one. The boundaries between our minds disappeared for one perfect moment, and the echo of it is still vivid in my memories.

I want to feel it again.

Even if I have to chain all four of them to my bed.

My bond with Torben, Finn, Húnn and Ràn is growing stronger. They’re no longer simply the bear shifters who rescued me. They’re my protectors, my lovers and the family I chose for myself.

But their species is dying.

Bear shifters have stopped reproducing, and without new cubs, my mates could be among the last of their kind. The Fates seem content to let that happen. They aren’t malicious – just powerful, immortal and bored enough to play with other people’s lives.

I escaped one future chosen for me. I won’t let anyone decide the fate of my new family.

Not even the most powerful beings in the universe.

I’ll discover why no new cubs are being born and do whatever it takes to save the bears from extinction. Destiny may belong to the Fates, but this future belongs to us.

Because my bears are no longer just friends.

They’re family.
