Ian

By Becca Fanning

Iris had been dreaming about this destination wedding for months! Sunrises, sapphire seas and stubble chinned men were what she imagined. But more than that, a chance to make a fresh new start. Lately she'd felt like life was slipping away, going so fast she had to sprint day and night just to try to catch it. But what she thought would be a dream is quickly turning into a nightmare...
Ian had a lot on his mind since the werewolves made their presence known. A Bear Shifter like him knew well enough that if you trap his kind and their kind in one place, it would come to blows. He felt bad for the humans at the wedding, caught up in all this like helpless sheep. Most of them at least. There's one woman who kept catching his eye. She knew more than most, and that made her dangerous to herself and others...
This 11,000+ word BBW Bear Shifter Romance Novella has all the heat and passion you expect from a Fated Mates story!

Chapter 1

Iris looked over at the man sitting opposite her. Well, this wasn't exactly how she'd imagined spending this weekend .

When Dina had announced that her wedding would be taking place on an island, Iris had imagined sun, sea, sand, sex, sangrias, the whole nine yards. Dina had asked Iris to be her bridesmaid almost as soon as she got engaged-they'd known each other for years, childhood best friends, and even though they'd drifted apart in the intervening decade, there was no way Iris was turning her down. When it turned out she'd get a tropical trip as part of the bargain, it was just a bonus.

And, God, the island had looked so beautiful when she'd arrived, just as she'd imagined. Dina had shown her the brochures on the flight over, and Iris immediately pictured herself laid out on the beach in her bikini, maybe drinking some extra-strong cocktail out of a coconut or something appropriately tropical. It had been way too long since she'd travelled anywhere, and this trip had felt like a chance to start something fresh.

Pressing her forehead up against the glass of the bedroom window, Iris closed her eyes. Even despite everything that had happened, she couldn't help but think this was better than what had come before. At least it was something. While Dina had gone to college and got a good job and met an awesome guy to marry, Iris…well, Iris had not. She'd gotten pregnant almost straight out of high school, she couldn't be sure, but she was pretty certain that she had been carrying her baby daughter when she graduated. She'd been planning on taking a year out to travel before she left for college, but, as it turned out, that never came to pass. She had sworn that she wouldn't let Abby, her daughter, get in the way of her fulfilling her dreams, but life had a way of slipping away from you, especially when you were working two jobs just to support you and your daughter because her father didn't want a thing to do with you.

And she was proud of herself for that, for succeeding, at least this far. She knew it was a different kind of success to Dina's, but she had (so far, at least), successfully raised a daughter. And it had been hell at times, desperately trying to scrape together the money to pay rent and cover the cost of Abby's school uniform, but she didn't regret it. Abby was smart, sweet, and talented, and that was all that mattered to Iris. She
