For the Love of Two Highland Bears Read Online Free

“It’s nice tae meet ye, lass. I’m Duncan Wallace.”
    “We found the two lasses at the cave, Duncan.”
    “Did ye, now?” Duncan asked turning toward Malcolm. “And ye invited them tae the castle tae spend the night? Good, good. We cannae have them getting chilled.” He turned back to Sunshine. “What brings ye tae our cave, lass?”
    “She’s looking for the bear warrior,” Gavin answered for her.
    “The bear warrior?” Duncan’s eyes widened. “Where did ye hear about that?”
    “My grandfather told me about—”
    “We think the lass is Carson’s granddaughter,” Gavin interrupted.
    “What—who?” Sunshine asked, tearing her gaze from Duncan to face Gavin. “Who’s Carson?”
    “My older brother.” Duncan rested his hand on her shoulder and gently turned her to face him. “Why do ye think you’re his granddaughter?”
    “I never said that.” She pointed at Gavin. “He just did.”
    “He’s one of us, Duncan. If what she says is true, and we hae no reason tae disbelieve her, he found himself crated tae America. He doesn’t remember who he is. Unless we hae another missing clan member or two that I don’t know about, he’s got tae be your brother.”
    Sunshine wondered at the frown on the other man’s face. Did he not want to find his brother? She glanced around at the castle and answered that question for herself. Of course he’s not happy. After all, if her grandfather was his older brother, it meant he was no longer lord of the castle.
    Suddenly, Sunshine wanted to be anywhere but here. She didn’t give a damn how hot these guys were. The last thing she wanted to do was lead these men to her grandfather and have them murder him in his sleep, all for a bunch of land and a pile of stone he couldn’t remember or give a damn about.
    “What’s the matter, Duncan?” Another man entered the room, carrying two steaming mugs. “Enjoy the tea, ladies,” he said as he handed them the mugs. “Warm your fingers while Maggie, Duncan’s mother, fixes ye something tae eat. I’m Jamie.” He waved his arm toward the door he’d just walked through. “She said tae show ye tae the kitchen.”
    Sunshine followed the man into the kitchen. These were strange, but incredibly nice people. The only person she wondered about was Duncan. She still didn’t know if he was happy at the prospect of seeing his brother again or if he was secretly devising a way to kill him to keep control of the castle.
    The kitchen was a huge room with a large wooden table set in the center of it. A tiny dark-haired woman bustled about the room setting plates of food on the table.
    “Take a seat and help yourself.” She pulled a chair out and waited for Sunshine to sit before setting a plate in front of her. “Ye must be starved. Go ahead.” She waved her arm. “Help yourself. We’ve eaten.” She smiled and sat down at an empty place. “I’m Maggie, but everyone just calls me Mam.”
    “Take this, Mam,” Jamie said as he handed the woman a drink. “Duncan and I think you’re going tae need this.”
    “I dinnae know what—”
    “There’s no easy way tae say it, Mam,” Duncan interrupted. “The lass came here from America seeking information about the bear warrior.”
    Maggie stared at Sunshine. “Where did ye hear about us, lass?”
    “I don’t understand.” Sunshine frowned. “Where did I hear about you ?” Sunshine shifted her gaze to each of the people in the room. “I don’t understand, are you saying—”
    “Show them,” Duncan said.
    After a bright flash of blue light, there was a giant white bear where Malcolm had stood.
    “Oh, my God,” Roxie breathed and shook her head. “I always believed you…but…but this is incredible, Sunshine. Are you saying that your grandfather can do that? That’s so cool!”
    “Yes.” Sunshine nodded.
    “You’ve seen him do that and neither of you showed me? ” Roxie shook her head. “I mean I knew you believed your grandfather, but…but I
