BRITTIN

When my brother and his problems had me coming back to Stales, my hometown, I was scared not just for my twin's health, but also because I knew I'd run into Law, my bear-shifting ex and the sheriff of Stales.

Our breakup hadn't been grisly, but after nearly two years, the thought of seeing him again had everything tightening in me because … I still loved him.

But that was the past, and I knew I had to move on, right?

LAW

Brittin was the only woman I would ever love. She was it for me, even if she broke it off because of my domineering ways. I screwed up when I lost her, and I spent the next two years regretting it. But she'd wanted space, and when she left for the city, I let her.

But now she's back, and it's my chance to show her I can give her everything she wants. It's my chance to show her I can be the man she deserves.

I just hope I haven't let too much time pass, because not having Brittin in my life is a fate worse than death.
