turned into the soft muzzle of a bear. His ears became rounded and furry, and his teeth grew large and fearsome. He let out a roar as he completed his transformation and stood before Riley as a giant black bear.
    She stared at him with huge, round eyes, her jaw dropped open in shock.

Chapter Seven
    Riley couldn’t believe that she was looking at a bear where Hunter had stood moments before. Maybe she was the one with a fever. This couldn’t actually be happening, could it?
    It occurred to her that maybe she should be afraid. She should turn around and run, although she had no idea where she would hide out here. The forest was a sparse pile of ashes right now. But in her shocked state, she did nothing. She stood there and stared at Hunter, trying to formulate some sort of response. Could he even understand her words while he was a bear?
    Tentatively, she took a step toward the bear. He remained perfectly still, looking up at her with the same piercing green eyes that had become such a familiar and comforting sight to Riley. She stepped closer and closer, until she could reach out and touch the bear’s head. Slowly, and with some trepidation, she placed her hand on his strong, fuzzy muzzle. If the bear wanted to, he could have bitten her whole arm off right now. But instead he stood there, gazing up at her patiently. Riley moved her hand from his muzzle to the top of his head, and then stroked her hand across his back. His fur was thick, but soft. She walked in a little circle around the bear, looking at him from every angle. When she had almost gone the whole way around, she noticed a large spot near his left ribcage where no fur was growing. The bear had a scar, in the exact same spot on his back that Hunter had a scar.
    She could not deny that this black bear was actually Hunter. She traced the line of the scar, and a feeling of peace suddenly flooded through her. It didn’t bother her that he was a bear. When he first mentioned being a bear shifter, she’d remembered a story she’d heard about a werebear who could turn humans into werebears by biting them. But, according to Hunter, he wasn’t exactly like that. His shifting ability was genetic, not something he could pass on to her. Shifting was a unique, special part of him. As Riley processed all of the information about Hunter that had just been thrown at her, she realized that his ability to turn into a bear actually impressed her.
    He was special. She had known that from the moment she met him. He had risked his own life to save her. And then he had gone out of his way to make sure she was as comfortable as possible on their hike, even though the circumstances hadn’t been the best. And now, she was discovering that he could turn into a bear. It was just one more unique, special part of him. And Riley loved him, every part of him. She should have told him that when he’d said he loved her, but she’d still been confused in that moment about whether the whole shifting thing was actually real. Now, the realization of how much he meant to her splashed over her like a soothing, warm ray of sunshine. She threw her arms around the bear’s neck, and nuzzled her face against his furry neck.
    “I love you, too, Hunter,” she said, although she still wasn’t sure whether he could understand her words while in bear form. “You’re so special.”
    Hunter grunted in response, and swung his head backwards to try to nuzzle her back. Then he wriggled out of her gasp and took a few steps away from her. A few moments later, another large burst of wind hit Riley as the black bear morphed back into Hunter. His underwear had been torn off when he shifted into bear form, and he stood in front of Riley dripping wet from the river water, with his ample dick on full display.
    She sucked in a deep, longing breath at the sight of it. As soon as he’d changed into human form, he had started to get an erection. Right in front of her eyes, his penis started stiffening, growing
