for the rest of my life. And it's going to drive me insane ,” I confessed. “Surely you can spare me that, too?”
     
    “So demanding ,” the last man to leave the woods answered.
     
    “...I'll allow it,” the first stranger replied. I turned to face him. “My name is Harrick. These are my brothers.”
     
    There were only two of them, plus the two bears. “Is that counting the...” I gestured towards them. They looked lazy now, observing with some distant curiosity. I was still reeling from the idea of two bears sitting bored in my backyard, let alone all the insanity that had just happened.
     
    “Boys, it's time.” Harrick spoke, his eyes still locked onto mine. The two bears rose up, and within seconds they were glowing brightly, their bodies starting to contort as the air shimmered around them…and within seconds, I was facing a two more handsome, rugged strangers.
     
    All four of the men stepped into line to the side, unthreateningly removing themselves from between the door and myself. “As I said, my brothers,” Harrick explained. “We are the Checker's Grove shifter pack. Either in our bear or human forms, we watch from the shadows of this town, protecting all who enter. As the newest member of the town, we were keeping an eye on you...until we spotted that man in your house, holding you at gunpoint. He won't be causing you any more trouble.”
     
    “ Shifter pack? ” I was stunned. “How long have you been here?”
     
    “In town? Generations,” Harrick explained.
     
    “I...have to sit down,” I spoke, clutching my head. “Why don't you guys come inside? I just need a moment to think...”

    The four shifters, still as shirtless and handsome as ever, stood around my living room as I leaned against the counter. They looked exactly like the men in my dreams…and I figured that that was no coincidence, although I didn’t bring it up.
     
    I was sipping a drink. God knows I needed something a little more hardcore than iced tea, so this time I hit the vodka and poured myself a screwdriver.
     
    “So, you guys…the two elderly folks that owned this house before me…they knew about you?”
     
    “Ben and Gertrude, yes,” Harrick thought aloud. It was clear that he was the talker of the group, as the others sort of lazed about. “We have been friends with them for a long time. I was sad to see  them go – our father grew up with them before leaving to lead his life in the woods.”
     
    “Your father?”
     
    “Yes, a great shifter,” one of the others replied. “Mightiest there ever was. He defended this town all but singlehandedly. He was the strongest alpha in a hundred miles.”
     
    I nodded thoughtfully. “So, what now? What am I supposed to do with all of this?” I gasped quickly, clutching my hand to my mouth. “No…you’re not going to hurt me, are you?”
     
    They gazed at each other and laughed. Harrick smiled kindly at me. “Of course not. We promised our old friends that we would watch over you and protect you. We aren’t the only wildlife in the woods, and sometimes there are wilder still among your kind…”
     
    I thought back to the burglar who had been so eager to take me hostage.
     
    “…And we honor our promises. We have been keeping an eye on you since the day you arrived to see the house. Well…while you were here, at least.” The other shifters weren’t laughing anymore, but were smiling at me – sincerely, although I sensed something else there. “And it helps that you are tremendously beautiful.”
     
    As soon as the words hit me, I blushed. “Beautiful? You’re too kind, I know you’re just saying that. I know that guys with your figures like something a little less…thick.”
     
    “Do not sell yourself short. Werebears like us crave someone with substance. Skinny girls can’t handle us, nor do they satisfy us. We prefer someone with some
