Jade Crew: Forgotten Bear (A BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance) (Ridgeback Bears Book 3) Read Online Free Page B
Ajax go down under the combined attack of three Opal members, Russell charged to his aid. A swat of his paw sent one shifter still in human form flying. He crashed through a wall, sunlight spilling in from outside. A crash of glass from the other direction told Russell of windows breaking, but he didn’t care.
Full battle fury had overtaken Russell. He swatted left and right, his long claws rending ferocious tears in the skin of human and bear alike, though there was increasingly less human and more bear. He ignored the hits in return, opting for full-on offense in a bid to help turn the tide. The Silvertips were giving as good as they got, but the Opal Crew had them outnumbered by at least three, even with Russell’s help.
Two bears hit Russell simultaneously, one from head-on and the other from the side, overwhelming him. He went down, but he rolled as he went. The other bears, less experienced in shifter combat, came on strong, hoping to tear huge pieces of flesh from his back. Instead, they found him ready to pounce with all four paws.
The shifter that had come in at his side took a hind leg straight to the face as hard as he could. Russell could hear the jaw breaking, and he tore enough skin with it to leave a huge flap dangling uselessly from underneath the broken bones.
Using his front paws to hit his second attacker, Russell grabbed its head as it lunged in, and twisted as best he could with his paws. The bear yowled as his claws dug into the tender flesh around its ears, and he bit down as hard as he could on its snout, which elicited another cry of pain.
Fire erupted along Russell’s side as yet another bear attacked him while he was down. Rolling quickly, he brought himself to his feet, finding himself side by side with Ajax and his crew. The Silvertips were all on their feet, but most were looking worse for wear as a small line opened between the two sides.
Holy shit, Russell thought, looking around the bar as he gasped for air, his huge bear lungs heaving with the exhaustion of fighting. The building was an absolute wreck. There were holes in the walls everywhere, and most of the tables and chairs were flattened. Even the bar, the huge, one-piece slab of mahogany, was dented and left with large furrows from various claws. Lights hung askew from the ceiling, and in a few places the ceiling had even been destroyed from flying wreckage.
Ferro is going to fucking kill us .
The Tongue & Flame was a write-off as far as Russell was concerned, but at that moment in time, the other bears required his attention. He glanced over at Ajax to see if he had a plan, but the Alpha was clearly in the same quandary. The Silvertips were all still game, but they just didn’t have the numbers to overwhelm their foes.
I wonder when Garrett will get h—
As if on cue, three bears burst through the far side of the bar, coming in through the already opened holes in the walls. One of them he instantly recognized as Garrett, his Alpha. The other was Corey, but Russell had no idea who the third bear was. What he did know was that it was a hulking monstrosity. Garrett and Ajax were the two largest bears Russell had ever seen, but it wasn’t even a contest next to the third one. It was so large he could only stare at how it lithely moved for a beast that had to weigh well over two tons.
Gabriel.
It had to be. There was nobody else it could have been. Which was odd enough, because the Stone Bears almost never got involved in crew politics.
But they hit Emma. So perhaps he’s here under orders.
Russell felt bad for the Opal Crew as the wrecking ball hit them from behind. At the same time, Ajax roared and his Silvertips charged, hitting the suddenly outclassed Opal Crew as they turned to face the newcomers.
They had no hope. Gabriel alone took out three of them in the opening handful of seconds in the scariest display of animal fighting Russell had ever seen. He moved in ways that seemed so unnatural for a bear, that there was
