Heat Wave (California Bears #1) Read Online Free

another small town girl looking for fame in Hollywood. Let me tell you, we see little curvy girls like you and each one of them goes back home with their ‘tails’ between their legs— with nothing but a broken dream,” Charge grunted pressing his nose up against Callie’s neck and inhaling her sweet scent.
    Callie trembled underneath Charge’s weight, feeling his rough hands move slowly up her thigh.
    “We’re here to even the score...” The two other werebears snickered.
    Charge then grabbed Callie’s arm and dragged her through her living room. The other werebears just stood by, watching as Charge forcefully led her to his motorcycle. Marlow had already left to do her day shift and Callie’s cellphone got abandoned in her bed room.
    “ Please , Rogue and I don’t even talk to each other anymore...” Callie squealed.
    Charge whirled around. “That’s not what it looked like last night,” he grinned.
    Oh my god! Was Charge and his thugs there the whole time last night when Rogue came to see me? Callie couldn’t feel more embarrassed, especially knowing Charge had seen her in her most intimate moments.
    “You love him. It’s written all over you face,” Charge jeered Callie, he loved making her feel like he had all of the control.
    “Rogue would never let you get away with this. Once he finds out I’m missing—he’s going to come looking for you...” Callie insisted.
    Charge shrugged and said, “That’s exactly what we want...”
    Charge then forced Callie into a kneel and tied her wrists behind her back. Her bright red curls cascaded over her face as she struggled against him. He’s then stationed her on the back of his motorcycle. Charge stomped his foot on the gas, and the three of them rode off into the valley.

    “R ogue!” Marlow hollered at the top of her lungs. Rogue veered around when he saw a hysterical Marlow speeding towards his direction. Rogue started preparing to rehearse for his stunt—the jump over Death Gorge.
    Rogue cocked his head to one side. “Marlow? What are you doing here? It’s dangerous, I only have a few hours before my show,” he snarled.
    “It’s Callie. I showed up early from my shift at the diner, I-I-just to pick something up from our apartment. Then I saw that someone had completely and utterly trashed the place,” Marlow recalled. “Then I saw claw marks scrawled on the side of our wall, and the message said ‘bring us Rogue we’ll kill the girl.’ ”
    Immediately, Rogue knew that it must have been Charge and the rival clan trying to get back with revenge. Charge’s clan was so far in the valley that Rogue would have to make a choice between making the jump over Death Gorge or rescuing Callie and saving her life.
    Rogue had been waiting his entire life for this moment. The moment that he could follow in his brother’s footsteps. He been training for hours, healed from several broken bones and near-death injuries—all for this moment. The noise of the rowdy crowd already echoed in his ears as he entered the stadium. They all came to see Rogue. And leaving also meant he’d have to disappoint them.
    Marlow started to lose her patience. “We can’t just stand around any longer. You need to make a choice! I know you and Callie have been distant lately, but that’s because she’s worried about seeing you kill yourself trying to prove something that really doesn’t even matter...”
    Rogue sniffed the air, grunting. He didn’t care whether or not any of this mattered to Callie. What he cared about was the legacy of his brother, Thrash. Rogue then moved quickly, and straddled his bike ready to ride off into the middle of the stadium. But as he reached the exit, the memories of how he and Callie met started flooding to the front of his brain.
    As much as he wanted to make his brother Thrash proud, he also did not deny the love that he had for his one true mate. Callie came out of nowhere and made him see how reckless he had been with his own life.
