Elfing Around

By April Kelley

Kailu learns two things in less than a second. One is that more than just elves live in the northern forest. The other is that elves and bears shifters can be mates. Who knew? He didn’t, until he literally ran into his big bear shifter mate when he and his two brothers were simply hunting for a Yule tree. With their vastly different cultures, Kailu finds out that his mating isn’t exactly a Christmas miracle.

To everyone who celebrates other people’s differences. Keeps the love flowing.

Chapter One

Kailu stumbled forward and let out a small grunt when one of his brothers shoved him from behind. Thankfully, he was next to a tree and was able to catch himself on it, or he would have fallen in the snow. The air was so cold it made the exposed parts of his face ache. His nose and cheeks were probably red, and he could see his breath as it fanned out around his face. He didn’t want to fall in the snow and get any colder.

He let go of the cart he was pulling and narrowed his eyes as his brothers ran past him, laughing like lunatics, Lethon, his middle brother, chasing Savel, his youngest brother, through the forest with a big glob of snow on the palm of his hand.

Animals, he yelled after them. Actually, they were acting like children. It was hard to believe they were fully-grown elves sometimes—although there was something about the act of looking for a Yule tree that brought the kid out in them, Kailu included.

Yes, but what kind of animal? Lethon yelled back even as he reached a hand out, throwing the snow at Savel.
