Hidden Shifters Book 1

A monster killed my father. Now, it's hunting me. My only chance at survival is the fated mate I never knew I had—the shifter hell-bent on denying our bond.

A week ago, I had no idea shifters existed. But with a feral freak after me, I have no choice but to turn to a powerful bear for protection. Mato, the grizzly elder of his pack, does the three things upon seeing me.

He says I’m his fated mate.
He declares himself my protector.
And he vows we will never be together...

The brooding bear shifter is frustratingly good-looking, frustratingly loyal, and just plain frustrating. The hunting knife I carry for protection? I might stick him with it if he doesn’t let up.

He constantly swears he won’t take me as his mate, that he’s only keeping me here in the mountains for protection, but I feel the truth every time we touch, every time I look into those blue bear eyes. My fated bear wants me but won’t risk losing me to the violence of this secret shifter world. Yet I can’t go back to being alone, not now that fate has given me a chance at a real family again with this grumpy mate of mine.

But if we can’t stop the feral shifter—the monster driven mad by my bond with Mato—our fate will be decided for us.
