Excerpt
An enormous grizzly bear stood on his hind legs, sniffing the air. She never even noticed its approach. The bear was downwind from them, so Gage never caught its scent either.
Gage turned quickly, and then, seeing the bear, slowly backed toward Suleima, keeping himself between them. When he reached her, she tried to push him to the side, but he wouldn't budge.
"You can't fight a grizzly, Gage. You have no time to shift, and one wolf--even an Alpha werewolf--against bear that size..."
Gage pulled a knife from his waistband. While it was a nice knife, it did nothing to even the playing field.
The bear left out a deafening roar. Her ears were ringing, and she couldn't imagine the effect it had on Gage's more sensitive ears. The bear dropped to all fours, and its muscles bunched, preparing to charge.
Suleima pulled at some branches of the trees near the bear, blocking its path, and she pushed a gust of wind at it, carrying the small remains of their lunch into its face and beyond. She softened the earth beneath its feet, making it harder to find traction for its charge. At the same time, she pulled branches from a nearby tree to herself. She quickly grabbed her pack and Gage's, leaving the rest of the food and tent where it was.
Gage's eyes grew wide as the branch wrapped around him, tugging them both off the ground and into the tree about twelve feet, their feet dangling in midair, just as the grizzly charged through the branch wall she had created below.
His head snapped in her direction. "Bears climb!"
"Even if this one wanted to, these branches are too flimsy." She gritted her teeth against the power it was taking to hold them in the air as the bear tore through the supplies still on the ground. There would be holes to repair in the tent, but at least they wouldn't have to repair any holes in each other, and their clothes and most of the essential items were safe.
The food... that was a problem for later.
