****** The bear and the Wolf ******
by TheWildOmega
Summary
     Beorn is the eldest son of the king of bears. He is known best by his
     clan for being incredibly strong and overbearing at times. So what
     will happen when he is brought face to face with the girl he has been
     arranged to marry, the only daughter of the alpha wolf. Will he force
     the free spirited shewolf to change? Many trials lie ahead for the
     totally opposite skin changers. But will they make it through it?
***** Chapter 1 *****
"what do you mean marriage...i do not even know this girl." Beorn said with a
slight growl to his voice making his father raise his brows. "you will get to
know her over time. This has been arranged from the moment the two of you were
cubs. Her father was one of my very best friends and I will not dishonor his
death by falling through with our agreement. You will marry this girl and unite
the clans, is that understood?" Beorn heard the commanding tone of his father's
voice and nodded his head. 
After their meeting the bear prince left his parent's house and made his way to
the forest. Shifting into his bear form he walked around thinking of his soon
to be bride. What would she look like? The wolf clan was smaller than the
people of his own. It way told that they were a rowdy bunch, wild and stubborn.
Giving a low growl he flopped to the ground. Looking out over the land. "what
am I going to do?"
"no... No. No. No. No. Not happening. I refuse..." y/n said as she turned her
back on her uncle,  making her way towards the door. "oh aye you are. Your
father and klane set this up years ago. The two clans will come together with
your marriage to Beorn." Radolf growled, stepping in front of the young she
wolf to stop her leave.
Y/n snarled,crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't know anything about him.
I don't even know what he looks like. What is we hate each other?" "well just
think y/n/n my mama and Pa try to kill each other at least once a week but they
still love each other..." y/n cut her eyes to her younger cousin who was
sitting over in one of the chairs, Conan. "shut up."
Over the next week y/n and Radolf made the two day journey to the bears
territory. Y/n's had tried to escape back to her home twice already but her
uncle always caught her. 
Arriving at the village y/n looked around. There was at least forty or so
cabins and a larger one at the back. Around the small village were the people
of the bear clan. They were a large race. Most males reached seven and a half
feet and the females at least six and a half. They were so very wide chested
with plenty of muscle. 
Noticing her uncle Radolf's horse stop in front of her y/n's pulled back a tad
on the reins of her own horse. Looking up from her lap she watched as a large
man came out of the house followed by a woman and a young boy no older than
ten.
Last to step out of the house was another male. He looked to be twenty or so.
His hair was long and a light brown matching his shorter sideburns. His eyes
were a bright copper color that caught the glow of the sun. What caught y/n's
attention the most was his size. He no doubt was eight feet in hight and his
shoulders were at least three wide. He wore a brown pair of trousers with a
sleeveless beige tunic that was open at the top.  She couldn't help from being
slightly awed by what she guessed was her future husband. 
Walking out of the house beorn looked to see two people on horses. One was a
older male around the same age as his father. The other was a girl who he would
have guessed to be fifteen or sixteen. She had a small frame and from what he
could tell by her sitting on the horse she could only be around five feet in
hight. Her hair was long and h/c making her e/c eyes stick out. Over all beorn
thought her to be very pretty. But that was not what had caught his attention.
She did not wear a dress. She wore brown trousers and a white tunic. This was
seriously strange. 
The young bear was snapped out of his thoughts by his father slapping his
shoulder. "...sure they grow fast. This must be young y/n. You have your
mother's beauty and your father's bearing." beorn watched as the girl bowed her
head to them before meeting their eyes again. "it's nice to meet you king
klane." klane chuckled and shook his head.  "no lass you can just call me
klane... This is my family.  My wife hyla, our youngest son follden and this is
beorn." hearing his name y/n's eyes snapped to beorn's. The two kept each
others stare for some time,  as if seeing who would break first. Who would
submit. 
"Beorn why don't you go show y/n where she will be staying. Come Radolf wet
have much to discuss." klane said gesturing for one of his members to take
their horses. Y/n dismounted her horse and threw her bag over her shoulder.
Giving her horse a rub before letting one of the men take him. Turning around
she watched as her uncle walked off with klane. "hello." looking beside her she
saw klane's youngest son follden.  He looked like his mother. His hair was a
darker brown and his eyes were brown as well. He was smiling up at her making
her smile back at him. 
"Hi." she said. "so your a wolf? Your pretty small... Is your wolf small too?
can you shift so I can see it?..." "FOLLDEN!" Beorn growled coming up behind
his brother and smacking the back of his head. "ow. What?" looking up y/n met
beorn's eyes. Glancing away he looked to his brother,  "go help ma with
supper." "but... " the cub went to object but not before beorn cut him off.
"go. Now." he told him pushing him in the direction of the house. 
Once the two were alone beorn turned to his betrothed "he's cute." she said and
he looked to see his brother walking away still smiling at her. Beorn gave his
brother a low growl showing his teeth to show he meant bussines. "he's a
handful." he told her as he faced her once again.  Standing next to her he
could now tell just how small she was compared to himself. She only came up to
his mid abdomen. He could crush her easily, how were they expected to mate once
married. 
Shaking his head of those thoughts for now he reached out and grabbed her bag.
Y/n knotted her brows at the giant but never got to say anything before he
turned. "follow me." as he walked he didn't hear her behind him and turned to
see if she was following him. Indeed she was close behind him. He raised his
brows at just how quiet she was. 
He led her to a small cabin beside his parents home. It wasn't anything fancy.
It had a small sitting area, a bed, and a tub for bathing. Sitting her bag on
the table he turned to see her looking around the room.  She was actually very
pretty. Beautiful even. "I hope you like the cabin. If you think of anything
you may need let me know." he told her feeling very akward. All the same she
nodded,  "where is your home?" she asked while still looking around the room.
"I am still with my parents but I started building our home this past week."
this caught y/n's attention and she met his eyes. "oh...and.. Where is that?"
beorn could tell she was nervous and gave a small smile. "it's in the back of
the village a little more. If you would like I can show you tomorrow." y/
n returned his smile "I would like that."
 
 
***** Chapter 2 *****
Y/n sat on the edge of the cliff, looking or over the forest down below,
thinking about the past few weeks. She had been here,in the territory of the
bears for three weeks now. Her uncle Radolf had left after the first five days,
back to her home. This was supposed to be her home now but it didn't feel like
home.
Beorn had shown her what would be their house after they were Wed. It was a
nice house, large enough to fit his form openly. She had asked him if he wanted
any help but he just looked at her like she had grown another head. "I do not
expect a female to do such things." he had told her making her frown, "I assure
you I know a little about building... My fath..." "no y/n. No wife of mine will
be seen doing such things." giving a small growl y/n glared up at him "fine
have fun." she said before marching back towards the village leaving a angry
beorn behind her. 
Things had not been going well since then. Beorn left in the morning to go work
on their home and didn't return until late afternoon. Hyla, beorn's mother
would get y/n to carry him lunch. The first few times she had tried to talk
with him or do simple things to help. But he would do nothing but give her
small words and tell her to go back to the village.  Every night the two would
see each other at supper with his parents and every night they would ignore
each other. Y/n's only company was hyla when she would help her with the daily
chores and beorn's younger brother follden. 
Giving a sigh y/n looked at her lap where she was running her fingers over the
wooden bow, one of the few things she had left of her mother. It was
beautifully carved with old ruens and wolves. Her father had made it for her
mother when they got married. "hiya y/n." she had nearly jumped out of her skin
at hearing the voice right behind her.
Snapping her head around she saw it was only follden. "follden you scared me.
What are you doing here?" she asked as he sat down beside her. "I was looking
for you.... You know beorn doesn't like it when you're out here alone your just
going to make him angry." the she wolf rolled her eyes at this. "I don't care
what he likes. I'm allowed to do whatever I wish." follden bit at his lower lip
deciding not to push the matter any further. "well anyways what was it you were
doing? That's a nice bow,where did you get it?" looking at the weapon she
smiled. "I was just practicing my shot. Thank you, it was my mother's, my papa
made it for her." 
It took a moment but y/n saw the young cub had something on his mind, "what is
it?"follden looked away from her at first and then looked back at her. "well Um
I was wondering. What Happened to your parents?" y/n felt a pain in her chest
when she thought of her parents. Looking out over the land she took a deep
breath. "they were killed by orcs when I was eleven." she looked back to see
fear on the cubs face and decided to change the subject. "have you ever shot a
bow before? Would you like me to teach you?" follden have a full faced smile at
this and nodded his head quickly. 
Beorn got home from working on his and y/n's house and went in search of her.
He wanted her opinion on where to put their room. He stopped by to see if she
was with his mother but she had said she hadn't seen her since lunch. Going to
the small cabin she was staying at he knocked on the door. "y/n? It's beorn
open the door." when the door didn't open after a couple of minutes he opened
it himself. Walking in he saw she wasn't there either. Beorn felt a growl in
his throat. He had told her to stay in the village. Finding her scent he
followed it into the forest.
 
***** Chapter 3 *****
Following his future mates scent he went deeper into the woods. Hearing voices
up ahead he looked to see y/n standing behind his brother helping him hold a
large bow. "okay you have to remember to shoot with both eyes open." as soon as
she stepped away follden released the arrow into a tree. He gave a huff of
amusement when his brother jump up and down at hitting the tree. "yay I did it
y/n. Did you see?" "yep you did very good.  Keep that up and next I'll show you
how to hit a moving target. Here just let me get... " as she went to get the
arrow an orc came out from the brush. 
The grey skinned orc snarled at the two pulling a knife from his holster. Y/
n pushed follden behind her before growling at the filth. As soon as it
advanced towards them beorn attacked. Grabbing the orc by the arm he tore him
down by his jaws. He slashed at him with his claws and bit until the monster
was dead. 
Glancing back at the female and cub he growled before he started shifting back.
When y/n saw he was going to be naked she quickly covered her eyes and turned
away holding out her cloak for him to cover himself with. 
Snatching the cloak from her he wrapped it around his waist. After a few
minutes she slowly turned around and peeked out of her fingers. Seeing him
covered she removed her hand. His eyes were full of rage. She saw the bleeding
gash on his shoulder. Snapping his attention to his brother he let out a low
growl,  "follden go home. Now!" hearing the seriousness in his brother's voice
the young cub quickly ran in the direction of the village. 
Once they were alone beorn looked down over the she wolf. Looking Up she met
his eyes. She couldn't help feeling slightly intimated. "are you alright?..."
"I thought I told you to stay in the village! That orc would have killed you
and follden if I wouldn't have came looking for you!..." feeling her eyes
change to that of her wolf and her fangs elongate she growled at him. "I don't
have to listen to you you great oaf. Your not my husband yet. I don't need you
to protect me I can take care of myself!..." 
Y/n heard a great growl. Looking beorn's fangs had also elongated. "you will
obey me! You will stay in that village! And you will no longer Sneak out to
shoot this damned bow!" Grabbing the wooden bow he snapped it over his knee.
Instantly the best prince regretted his actions when he saw tears well up in
his brides eyes. "I hate you." y/n whimpered out before running back towards
the village. 
Y/n had ran straight to the cabin she had been staying at. She couldn't stay
here another minute. This was all a mistake, they would never love each other.
Grabbing her bag she packed her belongings. Taking or a price of parchment she
wrote,
King klane, 
I'm sorry but I can not marry beorn. We don't belong together, this was never
going to work. He doesn't want someone like me. Allow him to marry another that
will make him happy. My father's agreement still stands, the clans will still
unite Just not by our union. If ever you require our assistance we will lend
it. You have my word. I'm sorry again. 
Y/n Wolfgang. 
As soon as it was well into the night y/n snuck into the stables bag in hand.
Leaving her horse out into the forest she mounted it . Looking back at where
she knew beorn resided she felt disappointed.  Looking up at the sky she saw as
the first snow started to fall. Taking a deep breath she kicked her horse into
a trot and made her way back to her home.
***** Chapter 4 *****
Beorn stood in the forest where he and y/n had just fought. He had made her
cry. Looking down at the broken bow in his hands he sighed. He had lost his
temper and now he didn't know how he would ever earn her love.
Making his way back to the village he said it was now nightfall. Looking in the
direction of y/n's cabin he felt guilty. Knowing she would want nothing to do
with him right now he went into his parents home. His mother and father were
sitting in the dining room eating supper. He saw as follden have him a angry
glare. "beorn supper is ready." his mother called out. "not hungry." he replied
before going into his room and shutting the door behind him. Dropping the
broken bow on his bed side table he laid in bed, welcoming sleep.
Beorn woke feeling groggy. Restful sleep had not claimed him. His dreams were
filled with fire and blood. Throwing water in his face he recalls the events
from yesterday. Pulling on some clothes he is lacing up his trousers when he
heas a loud roar, "BEORN!"
The bear prince freezes at his father's voice. Quickly tieing the strings he
makes his way out into the sitting room. His mother and brother are sitting on
the couch and his father is standing beside the fireplace, his face stern. "aye
pa?" he asked seeing his mother give him a warning look. 
"what happened in that forest last night?" klane asked with a low growl. Beorn
looked down at this, "I asked you a question boy." meeting his father's glare
he cleared his throat. He told his father the truth, how he had went looking
for y/n, how the orc attacked her and folldenand how he had lost his temper
making her run off. 
"you broke her bow. Her papa made that for her mama...you're such a meany."
follden yelled making beorn growl. "that's enough. Hyla take follden outside
while I talk to beorn." 
Beorn watched as his mother took his brother outside. Turning back to his
father he stood tall. "I went to go see y/n this morning, to ask her why she
wasn't at supper last night. Do you know what I found?" "no sir." beorn said.
"I found this." klane said throwing a piece of parchment on the table .
Picking up the parchment he read the letter. As soon as he was done he looked
up to his father in shock. Dropping the letter he ran outside. Opening the door
to the cabin he rushed inside to find it empty. Hearing someone behind him he
turned to find his father standing in the door way. 
"she's not here son. I suspect she is halfway back to the wolf's territory by
now. Beorn I know that the two of you were nothing but strangers to one another
and I regret not making arrangements for the two of you to have met earlier.
Allow me to tell you something about her. Y/n was the only child of Bodolf. Her
mother was not a skinchanger but a elf. Arya almost died giving birth so he
swore to never put her life at risk again. You see he never had a son, y/n was
his son and his daughter. He raised her to fight like a man and how to do
things no normal female would know how to do. Now I will not force you to marry
her, the choice is yours."
Beorn stood there in the empty room as his father left him alone with his
thoughts. He felt horrible for what he had done. Because of him y/n had run
away. Not once had he tried to make her feel more at home here... With him. He
had pushed her away and now she was out there by herself. Knowing what he had
to do he quickly went to his home. 
He had packed a bag of supplies needed for the two days it could take to get
there. Last to go in the bag was the broken bow. If she still would not come
back he knew she would at least want the remains of the bow. 
He was telling his parents of his plan when they all heard a scream. Running
outside they saw at least two dozen orcs. Mothers were rubbing trying to find
their children and get them to safety. Males were sitting into their bear
forms, fighting the scum. "hyla get follden and the other females and cubs and
go to the clearing in the forest. Beorn you go with them make sure no orc
follows."
Seeing his son hesitant to leave he took his shoulders and squeezed them.
"beorn go son. Go." nodding his head he did what his father asked. Rounding up
all the females and cubs he lead them to the clearing in the forest. Two orcs
had attempted to follow but not before he could rip them to pieces.
Beorn stood guard in the clearing. He watched the treeline intensely. See
movement he gave a growl them stopped when he saw some of the males make there
way through. Men ran to their mates and cubs, pulling them into great hugs.
Last to make his way through was klane. He stumbled slightly making beorn rush
over to aid him. He had three large gashes over his body. Once he for his
father in his mother's care beorn looked towards their village to see smoke. 
The orc filth had burned the village to the ground. Most of their livestock
laid dead on the ground. The was nothing left. "what now?" beorn asked his
father. Turning to address all of the clan he stood tall, "gather what you can.
We cannot stay here any longer. The orcs know where we are, they will come back
and we must be long gone by then." after everyone started looking for any
remaining belongings beorn went to his father,  "where will we go?" looking
west them back to his son klane let out a heavy breath,  "I hope she ment what
she said."
 
***** Chapter 5 *****
Arriving in the wolf village beorn noticed it wasn't that different from their
own. It had been two long days off walking but they had finally made it here
close to nightfall. Adjusting his brother on his back more he looked up ahead
to see a large house built into the side of the mountain. There were other
homes scattered around it and people all around. His father had told him the
wolves numbered around thirty or so.
Stopping at the outside of the large house a woman stepped out of the one
beside it. It was only a little smaller than what he had guessed was the alpha
wolf's house, y/n's father and mother. Knowing they had died he wondered who
was leader now.
He watched as his father bowed his head to the woman. "Lila you haven't changed
a bit. I hope you aren't making life too easy for Radolf." the woman gave a
chuckle at this and bowed her head in return. "Klan, hyla, it's a pleasure to
see you again. These must be your boys, I hope they listen more than mine does.
I must ask Klan what are you and all your clan doing here?" klane grew serious
now "Orcs attacked our village. is your mate here? We must speak." Lila gasped
before allowing them inside of the her home.
Lila had sat beorn and his family by the warm fire, offering them hot tea while
she went to find the others of the bear clan shelter and food for the night.
When she arrives back in the house beorn met her eyes. " is y/n here? Is she
alright?" Lila sighed before nodding. "aye she arrived early this morning.
Radolf just went to go get her actually they shouldn't be... " just as she was
taking they all heard the door shut.
Looking over they saw Radolf walking in, pulling two people behind him. Beorn
quickly reconized one as y/n. The other was a male around the same age as her.
Both shared the same hair color. "...you two have been together just three
whole hours and are already at each others throat. What have I told you both
about... " seeing the others in the room he stopped. "it's not my fault y/n bit
me..." Conan said. 
Y/n looked up when she heard her uncle stop talking. What she saw was not what
she expected. On the couch sat her husband to be and his family. Feeling her
uncle let go of her she stood up straight. 
Beorn met y/n's eyes before looking her over. Her clothes were torn in places
and she had small claw marks over her body. Instantly he felt a growl in his
throat and glared at the boy who had obviously hurt her. "y/n go get in the tub
now young lady." Lila scowled before shooing her in the direction.
A while later they were all sitting around the table when Lila walked in with
Y/n right behind her. She had refused to even look in beorn's direction. Klane
had not even had the chance to ask her for help before she welcomed them. With
everyone ready for bed Radolf had told y/n she had to share her bedroom with
Conan so that beorn and follden could use his room. 
Beorn watched as she walked out of the house and followed her. "y/n..." he
started but was cut off by y/n turning on her heels to glare at him. "no don't.
I'm not talking to you." the bear prince froze at the anger in her eyes.
"please y/n I know I messed up but I'm going to prove to you that I can be a
good mate." raising her brow she smiled. "goodnight beorn." and with that he
was left standing outside in the snow. 
***** Chapter 6 *****
The next morning beorn woke and went into Radolf kitchen to see his family
already sitting around the table eating breakfast with Radolf and his wife.
Knotting his brows he looked to Lila. "where's y/n?" "oh her, Conan and the
lads went hunting this morning. They may be back already. If they are you will
find her at the fifth house down to the right, it's her friend luka's house."
beorn felt slightly jealous about his bride hanging around so many men, even
being at ones house. All the same he nodded his thanks to her before going in
search of y/n. 
Walking out he saw there was a couple inches of snow on the ground. Having the
light of day he looked around the village. He saw some of his own clan among
the wolves helping them with things. Some were already starting on building new
homes. 
Following Lila's directions beorn went to the house he guessed y/n would be at.
Raising his hand to knock on the door he stopped when he heard talking coming
from the back of the house. Walking around he saw four males and y/n. One of
the males he recognized as her cousin, Conan from last night.
The other three he didn't know. They all looked about the same. Short black
hair. The older looking one of the three was chopping wood while the other one
was skinning a large stag. He felt a growl in his throat when he saw as the
youngest of the three sat on top of y/n's stomach holding down her arms as
Conan was poking her forehead. "get off of me you Dick." y/n growled out before
biting the one on top of her arm. 
"owww." the boy yelled. Having enough beorn went over to her. Grabbing the make
by the back of the tunic he ripped him off of his bride. After he threw the
male to the ground he bent down. Lifting her into his arms he threw her over
his shoulder. "we need to talk." he told her walking towards the forest. "what
no put me down... " 
Beorn carried the she wolf deeper into the forest to they were away from
everyone. She was kicking and hitting his back trying to get out of his hold.
"would you stop. I just want to talk..." beorn told her making y/n give a fake
laugh "ha so now your want to talk. I was at your village for three weeks and
you never wanted to talk. Why should I talk to you now?" sitting her on a
fallen tree he stood tall. "because I'm not letting you leave until we've
talked." 
Y/n looked at him with raised brows. His face held much determination and it
made her smile. "you're not letting me? Ha ha. " beorn furrowed his brows at
the female. Before he could do anything y/n had leaped up into the tree. She
now stood on one of the branches looking down at him. "is this you not letting
me?" she mocked making him growl. "woman I order you to get down." crouching
down y/n smiled "I tell you what, how about we play a game. Teddy bear Vs wolf.
If you can catch me I'll talk to you. Let's see how well my great husband to be
can control his little bride?..." 
Beorn felt a growl in his throat as she mocked his control over her. She knew
what she was doing, males were the dominate one in skin changer relationships.
Females were supposed to listen to their husbands commands. Obey. "I'm not
playing your games... " "afraid you'll lose? You want my obedience you're going
to have to fight for it." talking a deep breath beorn met her eyes "I catch
you, you submit to me." y/n have him a wink before jumping to the next tree. 
It wasn't long before she was out of his sight. He knew she was half elf so she
would be fast and quiet. She would be able to climb in the trees. He couldn't
help from smirking as he started to get undressed. Once he had his clothes
folded up on the taken tree he started to shift into his bear form. She may be
faster but he could still track her. Once he was on all fours he took off in a
run after the female. 
***** Chapter 7 *****
Beorn sniffed at the air as he walked through the snow. He could smell her
scent strongly in the air meaning she was close. Looking ahead he saw fur that
he recognized from her cloak sticking out from behind a boulder and smiled.
Being as quiet as possible he walked up behind her. When he got close he gave a
huff before biting down on the cloak and pulling her to him.
There was only one problem she wasn't with the cloak. Looking at the empty fur
in disbelief he growled. She had left her cloak behind so he would follow her
scent to it. Feeling something hit his back he turned to see y/n leaving
against a tree grinning. "almost teddy bear but you haven't won yet." he
watched as she threw a rock towards the tree he was under. Hitting the tree
trunk or vibrated sending a pile of snow down on top of him. Shaking the snow
off he growled and looked to y/n to see her gone yet again. 
Y/n walked around by the small creek. Most of it had frozen over but there was
still a little trickle of water falling down the rocks. Cupping her hand she
let it full with the freezing water before bringing it to her mouth to drink.
Beorn had yet to find her. It had been a few hours now and nothing. The she
wolf was beginning  to think he had finally given up. Sitting on the large
boulders she took some of the smaller pebbles and began to throw them at the
ice, breaking it. 
Beorn watched the girl up ahead. He had found her a little over ten minutes ago
but decided to watch her. She really was beautiful. She was different looking
than most skin changer females. Her features more delicate. Smiling to himself
he crept up on her. When he got close enough she heard him over the breaking
off the ice and looked behind her. Seeing him she went to run. Charging forward
he grabbed on to the back of her trousers with his teeth. He had her. 
Y/n struggled in his hold attempting to get away but it was no use. Her pants
may have tore if it weren't for her leather belt, that wasn't budging. Beorn
huffed in amusement at her attempt to get away "got you" he said knowing she
could understand him. Giving up she went limp "fine you win. Now let go." she
growled out. Beorn wasn't about to let her think she was in control so standing
back tall he lifted his head to normal hight. "whoooo, hey no put me down." y/
n shrieked making beorn chuckle "oh no I'm not falling for that." he told her
as he began to walk carrying her by his mouth. 
"Ahhh I feel like you hunted me." y/n complained as they walked. Well as beorn
walked, she just swayed back and forth by her trousers. "technically I did."
beorn told her with a smirk. Back at his clothes He lowered her to the ground
before releasing her trousers. Seeing her go to get up he helped her with his
snout. Going behind the bushes he shifted back to his human form before
redressing. 
 Coming out from behind the bushes he sees y/n walking away. "you said we would
talk." turning she looked at him "and we can but I have to go get my cloak. I
don't have fuzz like you I'm freezing." thinking he cursed himself for not
thinking of that. Getting up beside her he could see her visibly shaking. "I'm
sorry, I didn't think about it... " "it's alright,  I've been colder." she said
smiling at him which he returned. "I promise to make sure you stay warm from
now on." he told her making her blush. 
 
***** Chapter 8 *****
After finding her cloak the two made their way back towards the village. "y/n I
know that when you came to my village I didn't make you feel welcomed there. I
didn't make you feel like you had a home there... With me. I'm sorry I didn't
act like a mate should. If you would give me the chance I would like to prove
to you that I can be a good husband." stopping in her tracks she looked up at
him.
Beorn swallowed the nervousness bubbling in his chest. Seeing the she wolf
smile up at him he felt some of it melt away. "alright. Now we have to go back
the village because I have things to do today." beorn smiled and gave a small
nod. "so what are your many tasks for today?" he asked as they made their way
back into the village.
Over the next few weeks the two had gotten to know each other better. Beorn
would wake every morning and have breakfast with their families before helping
the people of the bear clan build their new homes.
He had gotten to know most of the people of the wolf village. Y/n's friends
were nice enough. There was luka the oldest of the three brothers. His wife was
Anna and his four cubs, three girls and one boy. Beorn had laughed
uncontrollably when he walked in on the three little girls doing y/n's hair.
They had her long h/c locks put in many braids and bows and were giggling
around her as she sat on the floor looking miserable. 
Luka had two younger brothers one was Blake and the youngest Toby. Blake was
married, his mate Katie was pregnant with their first child. Toby on the other
hand was not mated to anyone and made a game of seeing how much he could flirt
with y/n before beorn lost it. 
Now beorn stood with his arms crossed in y/n's bedroom, soon to be their
bedroom. "you not going. Your staying here where it is safe." stopping her
packing she turned to look at her future husband. "beorn we've been over this.
I'm the leader of my pack I can't just sit back while trouble lurks at our
door... " "aye I know your the leader but I'm to be your husband in two weeks
and I don't want anything to happen to you. I should be taking on these
responsibilities not you, I'm the male not you. I know you don't want to be a
house wife but I do expect you to obey me and my wishes. More so when they are
about your safety." moving to stand in front of her he rubbed the side of her
arms and looked into her eyes. "promise me you will stay here. I will go see
about the orcs and when I come back we will be married." letting out a sigh y/
n met beorn's eyes. "fine I promise." giving a small nod beorn kissed her
forehead. "I'll come see you tomorrow morning before I leave. Goodnight."
"goodnight." walking out beorn didn't see his future mates crossed fingers
behind her back.
***** Chapter 9 *****
Early the next morning before the sun was up y/n grabbed her bag and made her
way out into the forest. 
Waking with the sun beorn grabbed the bag he had packed and went to y/n's room
to tell her bye before he left. Going into her room he went to the bed. Sitting
on the edge he placed his hand gently on her form under the furs. But something
wasn't right. Pulling back the blankets he saw nothing but pillows. Feeling his
anger he growled "Y/N!"
 Y/n bent down to look closer at the warg tracks in the snow. Judging from the
disturbance in the snow their were many of them. She could tell they weren't
close because she couldn't smell their stench. It worried her, they were
getting closer. They had attacked the bear clan and boys they were coming after
wolves. 
Going to stand she was pinned to the ground. "uhff" trying to move she found
she couldn't.  "you lied to me." beorn growled beside her ear. His voice was so
deep it sent vibrations to her core. "I had to you weren't going to let me
go... " "aye I wasn't going to let you go. That was my decision as your mate
you were supposed to obey my decision."
Y/n felt her eyes change he thought he could control her, her. "get off!" she
growled out. She could feel his heavy form on her back. He held both of her
arms under his own. "submit." beorn growled out inching his way closer to her
neck. He heard as she snarled out something in elvish. 
Moving his hand he held her throat. "last chance darling." when she said
nothing he growled out before sinking his sharp teeth into the nape of her
neck. "Ahhh!" she cried out. Beorn felt as she tensed up under him. She
flinched trying to get away from him making him hold her tighter. The animal in
him couldn't help but feel victorious at claiming his mate. Marking her as his
for everyone to see. 
Swallowing down the blood gushing into his mouth he heard her whimpering. He
knew the claiming process was painful. And he felt bad that he was hurting her.
Feeling her go limp he gave an approving growl.  Unlocking his jaws he pulled
back. Without thinking he lapped at the wound, cleaning it, soothing it. 
Once he was satisfied he placed a light kiss on the oval wound. Pulling back he
looked to see a tear rolling down her cheek. "I'm sorry. I know it hurts. I
wish it didn't have to." looking at her neck he felt bad. The wound was a dark
red and swollen with a clear teeth impression. The deed was done she would
carry his mark of ownership for the rest of her life. 
Rolling to lay beside her he placed a finger under her chin making her look at
him. They just layed there for a time in silence until a howl was heard in the
distance. Y/n jumped up wincing at the pain in her neck. Looking beside her she
saw that beorn had turned back to his bear form. Waking over to her he licked
gently at the small amount of blood still leaking from the fresh bite. "ow stop
it leave it alone." she said making him give a small growl. The she wolf raised
her brows before plucking him on the nose making him huff. 
Looking back up he saw her grabbing her bag from the rocks before starting to
walk towards the howls. Going up behind her he pushed his head between her legs
making her slide down his neck to sit on his back. "hey, you do know I can
walk... " she began to complain but was cut off by Gruffs, "you've walked a
long ways already. Rest, I can get us there faster." she could tell by the
sound of his voice it wasn't a suggestion. "fine! Just because you can order me
around now doesn't mean I have to like it." she huffed out making him smirk. 
***** Chapter 10 *****
Y/n looked up at the sky as beorn walked. It was almost nightfall, the moon
already out. "hold on." beorn huffed out making y/n sit up and look forward.
Just as she did beorn jumped on a nearby boulder. "whoo." she yelped as he
began climbing up the side of the mountain.
Beorn felt as y/n gripped onto his fur, holding onto his neck to keep from
falling as he climbed. Reaching the cave he smelled the air to make sure it
wasn't already inhabited. Finding it empty he let out a sigh and felt as y/
n jumped off his back. She looked around the cave while beorn shifted back and
redressed.
Once he was done he looked to see her looking through her bag. Sitting beside
her he looked her over. She pulled out something wrapped in a cloth and handed
it to him. Unwrapping it he found it to be a loaf of bread. She pulled out two
more things before finally pulling out a skin flask. When all was layed out
they had a loaf of bread, cheese and a chunk of smoked meat. 
The two were in the middle of their small meal when Beorn looked to her "what
kind of meat is this?" "bear." y/n said making beorn's eyes go wide "I'm only
kidding. It's elk." y/n said laughing. Beorn cut his eyes at the female before
taking a sip of drink from the flask. He coughed in surprise as it went down
his throat, wine. "is this wine?" he asked looking at her strangly. Knitting
heyr brows she took it from him "aye, do you not like it?" she asked as she
took a sip of her own. 
Seeing her drink the alcohol he went to snatch it from her. "I don't want you
drinking that." y/n was quick to hold it out of his reach. "Um why exactly?"
"because. Women in my clan aren't allowed to drink alcohol, it clouds their
judgment."he told her before trying to grab it again. "well I'm not in your
clan and I'm allowed to drink whatever I please." she told him before taking a
big gulp of the red liquid. 
Seeing her disobey him he growled and moved to tackle her. Y/n moved at the
right time making him only be able to grab her leg. Pulling her to him he
attempted to grab the flask when she started to drink more and kick at him
trying to get away. The two mates were now rolling on the cave floor wrestling.
Beorn got the upper hand most of the time being bigger but y/n still managed to
hold onto the flask.
Having enough beorn layed most of his body beside hers with her neck against
his chest. Sure was holding the flask out of his reach when one arm when he
grabbed the other by her wrist. With his free hand he went to grab the flask
when she growled and sunk her teeth into his arm that was holding her wrist.
"ahh, dammit let go woman." beorn gasps. Feeling victorious y/n grins and adds
more pressure. Having enough beorn growls "okay trues." smiling she releases
him. 
With both of them no longer fighting they catch their breaths. Laying beside
her beorn opens his eyes and looks at her neck where his claiming mark was. It
was bleeding again. Knotting his brows his animal instincts kick in. Moving
closer he licks at the wound. Y/n jerks her head up at the feeling and hisses
in pain "owww stop..." she says going to move but he holds her still. "hold
still it's bleeding again. I have to clean it." y/n flinches away making the
large male growl. Instantly she freezes, her body reacting to her males
command. 
Laying her head on his arm she let's him do as he wishes. Beorn grins at her
submissiveness and begins cleaning the wound. He licks at the mark, soothing
it. Y/n closes her eyes as he grooms her. It is painful at first but slowly
becomes soothing. 
When he's done he places a gentle kiss over the bite before pulling back to
look at her. He can't help the soft smile on his face when he sees he sleeping
peacefully in his arms. Reaching over he grabs the blanket and covers them up.
Kissing her forehead he laid his own head down "goodnight, my little wolf." 
 
***** Chapter 11 *****
The next morning beorn woke up to find y/n was no longer in his arms. Jumping
up he looked around the small cave. "y/n?" he called out but heard no response.
Her bag was still here asking with her sword so she couldn't have gone far.
Sniffing the air he quickly found her scent and followed it. After a little
ways he found her kneeling by the creek. He watched as she splashed water on
her face. Moving towards her he stepped on a stick. Hearing the sudden nose the
she wolf turned blade at the ready.
Seeing it was him she tucked the knife back into her boot. "you scared me." she
told him turning back around to the water. Moving over to her he sat down
beside her on the stone bank before grabbing the knife from her boot. "and what
were you going to do with this?" he asked as he inspected it. The handle was a
bright white that looked to be carved from bone and the blade was a bluish
silver that was extremely sharp. "glancing at him she smiled. "pray you never
have to find out." beorn smirked at this.
"so where did you get it?" he asked making her give a sad smile. "it was my
papa's. He got it after the war of the ring. The hilt is carved from one of the
last Elder dragon bone and the blade was made by my mother's brother." beorn
raised his brows at this. His father had told him that he and y/n's father had
fought in the ring war. They're father's were the oldest skin changers. Klane
had always spoken very highly of bodolf. He was as strong as an ox and could be
just as stubborn, something beorn had learned he had passed down to his
daughter. 
Smiling he handed it back to her. "a beautiful blade for a beautiful woman."
hearing his compliment y/n blushed beet red and quickly looked away from him.
Smirking beorn watched as she braided her long h/c hair down the side of her
head. With her hair out of the way beorn caught glance of his claiming mark. It
now had a dark bruise around it with the teeth imprint a dark red and swollen.
Instantly he felt bad, he knew he was supposed to give it to her on their
wedding night when he could tend to it more. 
Knowing it was causing her pain he pulled her into his lap making her give a
yelp of surprise. Before she could react he went to work cleaning it. He
couldn't help the swell of pride when she didn't fight him this time. Instead
she relaxed into his chest, resting her head on his shoulder. After a while he
placed a soft kiss over the wounds before standing and placing her on her feet.
"we need to get moving if we are going to find them by midday." she told him
making him give a nod. Handing her their things he quickly shifted into his
bear form before gesturing for her to get on his back. "can't I just walk." she
whined making him huff and shake his head, he wanted her as close to him as
possible so if need be he could protect her easily. The she wolf grumbled as
she went to climb onto his back. Turning his head he pushed on her bottom with
his snout to help her into him. Once she was settled he started in the
direction of the orcs. 
***** Chapter 12 *****
Beorn and y/n layed on the boulder high above the group of orcs. There was at
least a dozen of them and all had wargs. They listened as the scum talked.
Beorn couldn't understand a word as it was all in black speech. He had been
surprised to find out y/n could understand some of it. The bear prince have a
small growl when he heard y/n's and his father's name pass their lips. "what
did they say?" he asked her in hushed tones. Looking at him she leaned closer
to him "either they said something about the price of our head or they want to
buy us a peice of bread... I'm going with the first." 
His father's head. Y/n's head. The orcs wanted his father and mate dead. Over
his dead body. Going to stand. He wrapped his arm around her waist before
pulling her to him. Going to the tree their bags were sitting beside he placed
her on the highest branch he could reach. "stay here. I'm going to take care of
the filth." "what no! You can't kill all of them by yourself. They're too many.
If we fight together then... " "no y/n I won't let anything happen to you..."
he told her talking of his tunic before handing out to her followed by his
boots. "but... " she argued as she shoved his clothing into his bag. "no.
That's an order. Your feet are not allowed to touch the ground. Is that clear?"
furrowing her brows she looks at him "aye." giving a nod he walks behind the
bushes to turn. Once in his bear form he stands on his hind legs to hand her
his pants. "I'll be back soon." he tells her before licking her cheek and going
towards the fight. 
Y/n sat waiting on the branch beorn had sat her on. She was worried. A dozen
orcs she had no doubt he could handle but not with wargs too. Thinking she
smiled,  he said her feet couldn't touch the ground. But he didn't say she
couldn't fight from above. Grabbing her sword she jumped from tree to tree in
the direction he had left in. 
Arriving at the battle she watched as beorn slashed and bit at orc after orc.
He had already taken down five of the twelve and three wargs but now they were
all attacking at once. She gasped out when one of the wargs jumped on his back
biting at his neck making beorn roar in pain. Without thinking she grabbed her
knife from her boot and threw it into the skull of the warg, killing it. 
It was then that the other orcs spotted her. The leader have an evil grin at
her before looking towards the others,  "get the she wolf." Three orcs ran
towards her while the wargs were already trying to jump up to grab her. She met
beorn's eyes and saw anger and worry. Knowing there was nothing they could do
now the two fought against the filth. They had killed all of the wargs and
there was only three orcs left. Finishing hey one off she looked to broken and
screamed "beorn look out." turning his head he saw just as one of the orcs was
swinging a large mace. 
Y/n felt her heart drop when she saw the mace connect with the side of his
head. "beorn!" y/n screamed out as the huge black bear fell to the ground.
"no!" jumping from the tree the she wolf ran towards the orcs feeling her
clothes rip off her body as she shifted into her wolf. Charging at the two she
tore the first head off before tearing out the others throat. Dropping his body
to the ground she ran over to beorn's side. 
His eyes were closed. Y/n whimpered before nudging his cheek with her snout.
"beorn wake up. Please wake up." she begged but he didn't move. Sniffing at him
she felt as he let out deep breaths. He was alive. Licking at the side of his
face she began the painful process of shifting back. She cried out and spasamed
as she felt her bones break and reset. She had to hold in a scream at the sharp
pain in her side.
Once she was back in her human form she moved her hand to her side and felt
something sticking out of her. Looking down at her hand she saw blood covering
the area and the snow around her turning red. There sucking out of her lower
abdomen was an arrow. The base had been broken off just below her skin. She bit
at her lip as she tried to pull it out of her. It was no use, she couldn't get
a hold of it, there was nothing to grab on to.
Feeling tears roll down the side of her face she looked up at the sky. It was
almost dark she needed to start a fire if they were to stay warm. Grabbing her
scraps of clothing she ripped strips of her tunic off. Putting a peice in her
mouth she bit down in it as she packed the wound on her stomach with another
strip. Tying the remaining pieces around her she looked down to see she had
successfully stopped the bleeding. Waking to her bag she remembered she had no
extra clothing and looked in beorn's bag to find a tunic. Pulling it over her
head gently she have a sigh as she saw it went just above her knees. It would
have to do for now.
A while later she had a fire made close enough to beorn so it would keep him
warm. She knew he wouldn't get that cold anyway because of his thick black fur.
She on the other hand was freezing. The thin tunic was doing nothing against
the winter wind and snow. She sat guard a little ways say from the fire.
Listening for anything that may be a threat to her and her mate. She pulled her
cloak tighter around her with shaking fingers cuddling into it's little warmth.
It was taking everything she had not fall asleep, she felt so weak. 
Groaning beorn let his eyes flutter open. Then he remembered what happened and
went to jump up but felt his head spin. Grunting in pain he looked to see all
the orcs dead around them. There was a fire near him but it was almost out.
Then his eyes caught the figure leaning against the tree. Spotting her h/c hair
he ran over to her. She was curled up into her fur cloak with her eyes closed.
Her face was a pale color and her lips had a bluish tint to them. Moving his
nose to her cheek he hissed at how cold she was. She was freezing. 
Looking around him he watched as the snow picked up. Smelling the air he could
smell a storm on the way. He needed to get her somewhere warm and safe. Turning
back into his human form he quickly dressed and kicked the fire out. Walking to
her he lifted her into his arms. Seeing the cloak move from her, he saw her
legs and feet were bare. Knotting his brows he pulled back the cloak to see she
wore nothing but his spare tunic. Looking around he saw he tore clothes on the
ground. She shifted? Not once had he seen her make the change, he had assumed
she couldn't being half elf. Deciding to worry about that later he wrapped her
as tight as he could in the cloak. Grabbing their things he made his way
towards home. Praying they would beat the storm. 
 
 
***** Chapter 13 *****
Beorn stumbled in the thickening snow. He could see the outline of their
village up ahead in the light of the moon. Y/n was whimpering now making him
worry. "it's alright my little wolf we're almost home."he told her as he
tightened his grip on her. He was freezing without the warmth of his fur. Add
that to his exhaustion and his bleeding wounds he was at his limit. No longer
having the strength to stand he fell to his knees. Looking at his female he saw
she had stopped shivering. Tearing his eyes from her he looked at the village.
"HELP!!" he roared. Pulling y/n as close to his chest as he could to keep her
warm his eyes closed just as he heard a muffled voice. 
Beorn's eyes shot open and he began frantically looking for y/n. He felt off.
She was in pain. Something was wrong. He found himself in his bed. Going to
stand he stumbled against the wall. Hearing the commotion his father walked in
the room. Before going to his side. "easy son. Don't strain yourself." shaking
his head he met his father's eyes.  "y/n where's y/n? Is she alright? I need to
see her." he told him. "calm down beorn. You can't see her right now... "
furrowing his brows he began to worry. "what why? She is to be my mate I can
see her when I please...." 
His father was taken back by his sons tone, never had he went against his
commands. Klane knew he had to stay calm and in a way he understood his sons
worry. A male skin changer was always protective over their female. It was
their purpose in life. Nothing would come between them once a male had claimed
his mate. This made klane think, once they were claimed... He wouldn't have. Or
would he. Klane knew his son had been having trouble making the young she wolf
obey. Claiming her would change that, it would force her to obey her male.
Straightening up he eyed his son before walking out of the room. Beorn followed
close behind him as he left his parent's home and went to what would soon be
his and y/n's. Beorn stiffened when they got to the door and he heard screaming
coming from Inside the house, y/n's screams. Going to rush towards where she
was his father held him back. "no. Let me go. What's wrong with her?" he said
as he struggled in his father's hold. Having enough he dragged him over to the
couch before pushing him to sit down. "beorn calm down. Now sit here. Do not
get up. Do you understand me? I mean it beorn." he told him before walking into
the room where y/n was. 
Bouncing his knee he waited for his father to come inform him of what was wrong
with his mate. Suddenly he is interrupted by klane coming out of the room and
marching towards him with a stern look on his face. Coming to stand in front of
him he crossed his arms over his chest and glared at his son. "I raised you to
know our laws. You will one day be king yourself but this does not exempt you
from them. You claimed her..." "I had no choice she..." between went to argue
only to hear his father growl. "dammit beorn you had a choice you just didn't
want to wait that long. Claiming bites are to be made on the wedding night for
a reason. Once the bite is made the mates are bound for life..." "I know
that... " "and did you know that she is now in pain from not finishing the
claiming process." klane stated making beorn grow quiet. 
"is that why she's screaming? I put her in that much pain?" beorn asked looking
grief ridden. Knowing his son was blaming himself he sat beside him "no son.
The unfinished claiming is making her weak and in pain aye but that's not what
is doing that. I'm guessing you didn't know about the arrow... She was shot in
the stomach with an orc arrow. She had it packed when the two of you arrived
but the arrow is still in her and has got infected. Radolf has sent a raven to
her uncle in Rivendell to come help her. He is an experienced healer and will
know what to do." hearing the news of his love he stood and began to pace the
room. "don't fret son. She will be alright. She has her father's stubbornness I
fear." he told him with a small chuckle. Beorn nodded and watched as his father
stood "come son you need rest. "no I will be fine..." he told him but his
father gave him a look "beorn there is nothing you can do for her right now.
But if something were to attack this village I would need you to help protect
it... To help project her...if there's any change in her health I will wake
you. Now go rest." knowing he would not be able to change his father's mind he
did as he was told.
Beorn layed in his bed looking up at the ceiling. He had not been able to
sleep, he was to worried about y/n. Suddenly his door opened and his father
walked in making him sit up quickly. "you can come see her now lad." klane said
and instantly beorn was making his way towards her home. Radolf Laila and his
mother sat at the dining room table along with another man he didn't know.
Beorn was quick to catch sight of his pointed ears. He must be y/n's uncle. Not
in the mood for talking he ignored them and went into the room. 
Walking in he saw the room was dark the only light coming from the blazing
fireplace. Luckily he could see well in the dark. Making his way over to the
bed he stiffened when he saw how pale y/n was. Her breathing was uneven and she
was whimpering softly. Sitting on the bed he looked her over. She had a wet rag
placed on her forehead and a thick fur covering her body. Gently he ran his
knuckles over her cheek. He was surprised when her eyes fluttered open.
"beorn?" she whispered out. Her voice sounded strained and weak. 
Giving her a smile he brushed the hair away from her mouth. "how are you
feeling?" he asked "dandy." she told him with a smirk. Giving her a huff he
went to pull back her blanket but she stopped him. "no." "let me see." "it's
nothing." "y/n" he growled making her cut her eyes at him "I don't have any
clothes on." she told him while turning beet red. The bear prince eyes went
wide at this before he tightened his jaw. 
Here he was at arms length of his soon to be mate and the only thing between
them was a fur. Swallowing the growing lust in him he smiled at her
embarrassment. He thought it was cute that she was so innocent. Maybe he could
have some fun with this. "you know it won't be long before I'll be seeing it
anyway." her told her and had to hold in his chuckle when he saw her eyes go
wide. "no you won't" she told him as she looked away from him. Giving a
challenging growl he moved to hover above her. Holding himself up by his
forearms and knees he moved her chin to look at him. Seeing him on top of her
she shrunk into the bed. 
Beorn couldn't help from grinning at the shy looking she wolf under him. "I
will be seeing you... All of you. There will be nothing to stop me from
claiming what's mine. Mark my words." feeling overpowered she scanned his face.
"and what if I don't let you?" she asked in a shaky voice making him smile as
he got closer and closet to her neck. "you will be begging me to touch you. To
ravage you. And me being the loving husband will comply." he purred into her
ear. 
Moving back just enough to look at her face he saw her eyes were dialated.
Staring at her lips he pushed his against hers. The couples eyes closed as they
shared their first kiss. Beorn gave a soft groan as his need for more grew.
Slowly so not to over whelmed her he licked at her bottom lip as he pulled down
on her chin with his thumb. Following his lead y/n opened her mouth and gasped
when she felt his tongue enter her mouth. She felt as he moved it around her
mouth, making out every corner. 
Beorn growled at her taste. Her mouth was small but he pushed his tongue in as
deep as it would go. He felt as his teeth cut into him and his eyes change.
When y/n let out a soft moan he quickly tore himself away from her. He knew if
 he didn't stop now he wouldn't be able to. He wanted her...bad. letting out a
low growl he placed a light kiss to her forehead. "four more days." he said now
to himself than her. 
Rolling off of her gently so as not to hurt her injured body he layed beside
her. Moving add close as possible he gently moved her to lay in the crease of
his arm. "get some sleep." he told her. They layed there for a little while
before he heard his voice being called. "beorn?" "aye?" he asked with his eyes
still closed. "I love you."she said in a small voice. He barely heard it but
smiled widely at her confession. Kissing the top of her head he breathed in her
scent,  "and I love you my little wolf."
 
***** Chapter 14 *****
Well the day has come that the couple had been waiting for, their wedding day.
Y/n had healed quickly thanks to her uncles medical knowledge and beorn's
constant mother Hening. The she wolf now sat in her aunt and uncle's house. She
watched as her aunt and cousin Arwin fixed a bath for her that had lavender
floating on top. "alright dearie in the bath." her aunt told her with a
determined nod. Rolling her eyes she stripped off the large tunic she was
wearing before stepping out of her undergarments and getting into the bath.
The two females next scrubbed her until she could swear her skin glowed red and
her scalp burned. Once out of the bath she was rubbed down with Rosemary oil
and gave a new tunic to wear for the time being. While her hair dried a bit
Arwin trimmed her nails after her aunt had said something about saving beorn's
back, confusing the two girls. Once she was done they helped her into her
dress. Y/n had never liked wearing dresses but decided today she would for
beorn. Arwin sat her down on the stool and stood behind hey as she did her
hair.
When she was done the two finally allowed her to look in the mirror. Y/n was
shocked at what looked back at her... She was pretty. Arwin had left her hair
down and braided an elvish design at her temples pulling back he hair out of
her face. Her dress was her mother's, a silk dress that was tight at the bodice
and flowy at the bottom. The she wolf couldn't help from letting a small tear
escape the corner of her eye when she thought of her parents. How she wished
they would have been here on her wedding day. Feeling someone cup her cheek she
looked up under her lashes to see her uncle Radolf. "you are so beautiful. Your
mother and father would be so proud of the woman you have become. They loved
you so much. " looking back down she felt her lip tremble, "I wish they were
here." knotting his brows Radolf pulled her in for a hug. "they are lass.
They're with you in here." he told her before placing his hand over her heart.
Once she had gotten herself back together she looked up at her uncle. He was
smiling at her as he held his arm out for her to take. "ready?" he asked her
and she gave him a firm nod. Taking his arm she let him lead her out to her
future.
Beorn stood under the archway that had been decorated with winter flowers and
antlers. He faced away from where her knew y/n would walk in from. Looking
ahead he met his father's eyes. Klane smirked at the look on his sons face, a
mixture of nervousness and excitement. Seeing Radolf and y/n making their way
towards them he nodded his head in their direction making his son turn to look.
Turning around beorn ignored the crowd of people their to witness their Union
as his eyes locked onto his bride. He felt his breath catch when he took her
in. She was so beautiful. He was surprised to see that she wore a dress. It was
white matching the snow around them. Her long h/c hair flowed down her back.
Her face held a soft smile that meet her eyes. He could tell she was nervous by
the slight shaking of her hands. Reaching him Radolf have her a approving nod
before placing her small hand in his own.
They held hands as Radolf and klane said their vows. They bound their hands
together with ribbon before pronouncing them husband and wife. Bending down
beorn pressed his lips to hers, his wife. He smirked and held in his chuckle
when she quickly pulled away from the kiss as everyone watched. Glancing down
at her he saw she was blushing. 
Beorn laughed as he lead y/n around in a dance. They smiled and danced around
the large fire in the light of the moon. The couple had celebrated their
bonding with tons of food and smiles. Even Conan had found himself a young
female to annoy. Currently beorn stood with his father and Radolf watching his
wife with a smile on his face. She was dancing around with follden and the
other cubs of the clans. She will make a wonderful mother one day. 
As the celebration was coming to an end the couple told everyone goodnight.
Beorn took his wife's hands as he led her towards their home. Getting to the
door he lifted her up into his arms making her give a yelp of surprise and hold
onto his neck. Meeting his eyes he pressed his lips to hers. Without stopping
their kiss he opened the door of the house before kicking it shut behind him.
Moving to hold her with one arm he locked the door ensuring they would not be
interrupted. 
Once he had her in their bedroom he slowly sat her down on her feet. Looking
down at her he saw her eyes held fear and nervousness. Wanting to ease his
females nerves he kissed her tenderly before nudging her nose with his own. "do
you trust me?" he asked her in a deep gravely voice. Y/n bit at her bottom lip
but gave a small nod. Smiling softly he stopped dipped his head to catch her
lips once again. Keeping her distracted he began to unlace the back of her
gown.
Having it unlaced he pulled back to remove his tunic so she wouldn't feel too
embarrassed. As soon as it was over good head he went back to kissing her. Once
he kicked off his boots he looked into her eyes as he pushed the gown from her
shoulders. 
Seeing her nude form the great bear prince couldn't help the deep growl from
leaving his throat. Y/n went to cover her nudity but was stopped by strong
hands grabbing her wrists. "don't hide from me." he told her. Giving another
nod he kissed her at he trailed his hands up her arms then down her hips to her
ass. Grabbing a handful of her soft flesh he lifted her up. Instinctively she
grabbed onto his shoulders and wrapped her legs around his waist. 
Carrying her over to the bed he layed her on her back. He hovered over her as
he kissed a trail down her throat. Stopping at his claiming mark he licked at
the healing wound making y/n let out a soft whine. Grinning he continued to
kiss and lick down between her breasts. Lifting his head he gazed down at her
bare chest. He groaned as he took her in. Small pale mounds with light pink
nipples meet his eyes. Looking into her eyes he licked at her nipple before
sucking it into his mouth. 
Y/n let out a moan at his actions. Her eyes went wide at the sound that left
her mouth and get hand went to cover it from letting out any more. Pulling back
he tugged at the pink nub with his teeth laying out pop out of his mouth.
Cutting his eyes at his female he took her hand in his own. "no. you sing for
me." holding her hands down beside her body he started giving her body more
attention. She struggled to free her arms as he sucked her nipples into hard
red peaks. 
Moving south he kissed her hip bones nipping at the sensitive skin. Beorn
smirked at the sound leaving her....but he needed more. Spreading her legs he
moved to lay between them. He growled when the sight of her sex. She was
hairless and smooth. He could smell her arousal thick in the air. He rubbed his
hands down her slit making her flinch away from his touch. Grinning next did
the same thing with his tongue making her cry out. 
Lapping at her sex he drank down all she had to give him. He held her down as
she bucked her hips. Moving his hand he pressed a finger to her entrance before
pushing in. Y/n gasped at they new feeling. She was extremely tight and beorn
he would need to loosen her up some before he would be able to mate with her.
So he continued to lick at her woke he pulled first one finger in her before
adding another. 
After a while of preparing her he took off his pants and crawled back up her
body. Y/n's eyes were lidded with her pupils dilated. Looking her over he
nuzzled the side of her face,  "still trust me?" She met beorn's eyes and saw
nothing but love so she gave him a nod and felt as he lined himself up with
her. Claiming her lips he pushed his hips forward. He gave a groan at how tight
she was around him. Feeling something tear inside her y/n let out a cry of
pain. 
Beorn froze at hearing his mate distress. Looking at her he saw her eyes shut
loosely with tears rolling from them. He felt a pain in his chest at seeing he
had hurt her. Giving a whimper he ran his nose up and down her cheek. "I'm
sorry." he purred to her kissing her temple. Holding his large frame above her
small one he gave her time to adjust. 
 When she was ready y/n turned her head and placed a light lick to the side of
his cheek. Beorn smiled before moving his hips making her moan. Holding her
hands down beside her head he thrusted in and out of her. He was slow at first
but gradually picked up speed. Burying his face in her neck he kissed and
licked at her soft skin. The sound of her moans and whimpers riled him on. 
Feeling a building pressure in her stomach y/n let out a soft whine. Hearing
her whine and feeling her walls fluttering around him beorn knew his female was
close to her climax. He licked at line up to her ear before nipping at the
sensitive skin. When he knew his climax was nearing he angled his hips more
hitting her sweet spot. Knowing she was fighting her climax he smiled, "let go
y/n." and groaned when she obeyed. Her walls tightening around his cock,
pushing him into his own release. 
Beorn gave a growl before sinking his teeth into her neck. Breaking the thin
skin he filled her with his seed. Pushing his member as deep as he could he
coated her womb. Beorn heard as his female screamed and spasamed. Moving his
hand he held down her hip. It wasn't long before her screams turned into
whimpers. She started to go limp under him. Unlocking his jaws he pulled back
to look at her, his mate. She was looking at nothing with lidded eyes and he
could tell she was exhausted. Giving a soft smile he licked at the corner of
her mouth before kissing her. 
Giving a groan he pulled out of her making her shudder and suck in air.
"shhhhh. It's alright." he told her softly. Moving he rolled to lay beside her.
Wrapping his arm around her hip he pulled her to lay with her back against his
chest. Looking at her neck he saw the claiming mark bleeding. Licking at the
wound he cleaned it. 
The warmth of his tongue soothed the burn of his bite. Y/n was fighting sleep
with all she had until she heard him give a low purr. "sleep my love." he told
her and she was quick to obey her husband's command. Beorn smiled down at his
sleeping wife. Placing one last kiss over the red oval he tightened his arm
around her hip and later his head on the pillow, letting sleep claim him. 
***** Chapter 15 *****
Beorn was woken by a small grunting and pressure. Cracking open his eye he
looked to see only a small amount of light coming in the room. Looking down he
saw y/n was still sleeping but she was trying to cuddle into his side at much
at possible. Knotting his brows he realized she was shaking. Lifting his head
off the pillows some he saw that the fire was out "fuck." he whispered out. She
was cold. Gently as not to wake her he eased himself out of bed. Letting out a
yawn he stood from the bed and went to bring the fire back to life.
Y/n woke up to an empty bed. It was still before dawn stop she didn't think
Beorn would be up yet. Sitting up in bed she looked around the room. The fire
was blazing making the room become warm again. She assumed that he had gotten
up to mend it... But where was he now? Quietly getting out of bed she wrapped
the sheet around her and walked into the other part of the house. Not seeing
him in the living room she tip toed into the kitchen.
Beorn was drinking down a mug of water when he smelled a new scent. Smirking he
swallowed another sip before placing it on the counter. "you should be in bed."
he said without turning around. "I was. I woke up and you weren't there." she
told him as she reached around him for the mug of water. Turning around he
scooped her up into his arms before sitting her on the counter. He watched as
she took a sip of the water he had made.
Looking her over he saw she was in nothing but the sheet from the bed. In the
small slivers of morning light he caught eye of smooth pale skin as the sheet
moved. Her h/c hair was in a slight mess around her making him smirk. Sitting
the mug down beside her she met his eyes. The two looked at each other for a
moment without saying a word. "how are you not freezing?" she asked puking the
sheet tighter around her. Smirking he lifted her into his arms "allow me to
share my warmth." 
Carrying her into the bedroom he layed her on the bed while capturing her lips.
Pulling back he ripped the sheet off of her revealing her naked body. Bending
his head he licked down her chest. Sucking at her skin to create love marks.
When she was withering in want beorn moved to kneel above her. Gripping her
hips with both hands he flipped her over to lay on her stomach. Y/n let out a
small gasp at the sudden movement. Looking over her shoulder she saw beorn
looking her over.
Curling in on herself beorn gave a growl. Suddenly she felt a sting on her
backside accompanied by a smack. Before she could turn around beorn was laying
on top of her. She could tell he was still keeping much of his weight off of
her but he made sure to make it known she wasn't going anywhere. The great bear
buried his nose in her neck, breathing in her scent. While holding himself up
with one forearm his other hand ran down her side. Pushing it under her thigh
he squeezed it before pulling it upwards. 
With her legs now spread he balanced on his knees between them. Kissing at her
neck and shoulder he lined himself up with her before pushing in. He let out a
loud groan, feeling her stretch around him. Feeling her tense up he purred to
her. "relax my little wolf." he cooed to her. Moving his hand up he laced his
fingers with her own. Hold her hand down he began to thrust his hips. 
Y/n moaned and clenched at the bedding as he pumped in and out of her. Beorn
groaned and grunted into her neck. Sucking marks into her skin he nibbled at
her soft skin. Never had he felt something so good than being inside of her.
His wife. His mate. Holding her down he made love to her. 
It wasn't long and he could feel her muscles fluttering around his cock. She
began to let out needy whines and whimpers. Feeling his own climax close he
moved to hold her hip with his other hand forcing her to climax hard. "Ahhh
beorn." she gasped out. Hearing her call out his name like that forced his
inner animal to come out. He held her hip tightly and bit down on her shoulder
as he filled her with his seed. 
Y/n was moaning with her orgasm when beorn squeezed her hip and bit her
shoulder making her cry out in pain. She felt as his sharp teeth broke her skin
and choked out a scream. Moving her hand to grab at his forearm she held onto
him. She tried to flinch away from him but this just made him tighten his hand
and mouth. Laying her head flat on the bed she trembled as his hot cum
overflowed out of her around his hard member. 
Beorn groaned around her flesh in his mouth. He felt as she clawed at his arm.
When she flinched away from him he growled and held onto her tighter until he
was sure all of his cum had filled her womb. Hearing her whimper he came back
to reality. Looking down he saw her head laying on the bed. A small tear was
rolling down her cheek soaking into the bedding. Realizing what he had done he
unlocked his jaws from her shoulder and pulled back. 
Gently rubbing his hand up her side he eased himself out of her hearing a wet
pop. She let out a soft gasp making him slow his movements. She didn't move as
he layed down beside her. Seeing the bite mark bleeding he jumped out of bed
and quickly made his way to the kitchen. Grabbing a rag he held it under the
spout while he pumped water out over it. The water was freezing but he just
rang it out and went back to his mate. Folding it to a square he dabbed at the
bloody wound. 
Y/n flinched when he placed the cold rag over the bite mark. Letting out a
whimper her lip began to tremble at the pain. "no. No please don't cry my love.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry y/n. I lost control.  I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt
you." beorn told her in a sad voice. Meeting his eyes with her lidded ones she
gave him a tired smile before moving to lay her head in his lap. 
Beorn could just watch as his female layed her head in his lap. She was
willingly touching him. He would have thought after what he just did she
wouldn't want him to touch her but she did. Slowly he pet at hey head. Brushing
her hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear. He had never really
payed attention to her ears beefier but looking at them now he could see they
were pointed like an elf's.
Continuing to clean to wound he looked over her body. Seeing a silver line on
her back shoulder blade he ran his finger over it with furrowed brows. "what's
this?" he asked her in a gentle voice. She didn't answer at first but he saw
sadness fill her eyes. 
Swallowing she took a deep breath.  "I got it the day my parents died." she
told him in a regretful voice. Looking at her he bit his lip. "how did they
die?" seeing the pain on her face he regretted asking. "I'm sorry you don't
have to... " "no it's okay. Your my husband your should know.... We used to go
out for a walk every day after supper. I was running ahead of my mama and Papa
trying to show them how fast I could go when I fell off the side of the cliff.
I cut my back open on a rock when I fell and started crying. My parents were
quick to run to my side when they heard me crying but a pack of orcs had heard
me too... My papa heard the wargs howls and went to go fight them. I begged him
not to go. I remember him telling me that he loved me before kissing me and my
mama and running off. My mama stayed with me until we heard my papa howl. She
looked at me and then around us before picking me up and putting me in a little
hole in the rocks. She told me to stay there and not to come down... They never
came back.... My uncle Radolf found me the next morning."
Beorn knotted his brows at what he just heard not really knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry that happened to you. Do you have a grave that you can go visit?"
seeing her eyes begin to water she shook her head. "my mother was buried in
Rivendale beside her parents. I go to it when I visit my uncle Elrond." "what
about your father, shouldn't she buried with him?" y/n stayed quiet for a while
before he felt her tears hit his leg. "w...we had to b...burn him. The orcs
t...they skinned him... The pale orc azog took his pelt as a trophy." the bear
prince was speechless. "it was my fault they died... I shouldn't have ran... I
shouldn't have cried... I... " hearing her blame herself for something that
terrible beorn pulled her into his arms. Cradling her like a child he rocked
her. "no y/n. That was not your fault. You were just a cub you... " "it doesn't
matter I shouldn't..." she started but he was quick to turn her face to look at
him. "shouldn't blame yourself. I only met your parents once, when I was very
young but I know they wouldn't want their only child blaming herself. They
loved you and like all parents would do gave their life to protect yours... To
them it was a instinct protect their cub. One day we too will have that
instinct with our cub."
Beorn left off at this. Giving her a kiss to the top of her head he held her
add he layed them down in the bed, pulling the fur up over them. Holding her
with her head on his chest he saw her shoulder had stopped bleeding. He heard
as she sniffled and wanted to help ease his mates sadness so taking a deep
breath he began to sing
"In days that have long since passed,
There lived a beautiful mahogany lass.
An unmarried and virtuous princess, alas,
She was brave, strong and bold.
One morning while riding no guard around,Armed with sword should trouble
abound, She heard the most horrible sound,
And her nose burned of sulfur.
The sky it darkened, gave her horse a fright.
A dragon swooped as black as night,
Grabbed the princess then out of sight.
Her horse ran frightened home.
The king cried, "All knights be sworn!
Kill the dragon with your swords.
Return me daughter for this reward,
That you may marry her."
The bravest knight in all the realm,
Young, handsome and vain as well
Declared the maid his holy grail
And rode off to rescue her.
The knight he climbed up rugged heights
Snagged a run in his pristine tights
At cavern's shaft, he saw no lights
And heard no sound inside.
The knight called the dragon out.
But only a lady's voice came back.
"I killed the dragon!," the lady shout.
And stepped into the sun.
The princess dressed in scraps of cloth,
Her mahogany hair was all burned off.
A muddy face, the vain knight scoffed,
"Can you clean be for we go?"
The princess still in clothes undone,
Told the knight, "I work alone."
The knight rode lone into the setting sun.
And the princess was happy thereafter." 
Finishing the song y/n gave a giggle. "that was the silliest song I've ever
heard." beorn chuckled as he rubbed her back. "I quite like it. Reminds me of
you, stubborn but strong." he told her with a smile. Hearing her yawn he kissed
her forehead. "now sleep my love." not needing anymore push the she wolf did as
her husband commanded and drifted off to sleep with him right behind her. 
 
 
 
***** Chapter 16 *****
Walking late in the morning beorn looked down at his mate. She was still
cuddled up into his side with her leg thrown on top of his own. Her legs only
came just below his knee making him chuckle. Seeing the red stain on her
shoulder he leaned back to look her over. He could see the bite mark clearly
now in the light of the sun. It was very deep and swollen with a dark bruise
around it. Furrowing his brows he eased himself out from her side and sat on
the edge of the bed. With the fur pulled back he saw the many marks on her pale
skin. She was covered in love bruises and bites. On her hip was a clear outline
of his large hand that spread the whole way to her stomach. Her lips were red
and slightly swollen along with her nipples. Feeling bad for causing her pain
he thought. Thinking he gave a grin before standing from the bed and pulling on
his clothes and boots. 
Finishing his surprise he made his way back over to his mate. Running his hand
from her shoulder down to her hip he felt his member come to life but put his
needs aside for now. "y/n is time to wake up." he told her in a gentle voice
and chuckled when she pulled the furs up over her head giving a little gruff.
Raising his brows he pulled the fur from her and quickly lifted her into his
arms.
Y/n let out a yelp at the movement and moved her hands to wrap around his neck.
She looked around as he carried her. Bending down he placed her in the tub. She
was surprised to find the water was hot. Instantly she felt her sore body
relax. She looked up at him and saw that he was kneeling beside the wooden tub
watching her. "what's this? " she asked smiling. Smiling back at her he dipped
his hand in the water bringing it up to rub into her shoulders and back. "I
thought this would help if you were sore." he told you making you smile. "thank
you. You didn't have to." "I promised to take care of you. Plus I wanted to."
butting her lower lip she looked up at him. "well care to join me?" she asked
but he only gave a groan. "you have no idea how much I would love to. But
unfortunately my father is demanding that I go with him and my brother
hunting." giving a nod she smiled "then next time... If you get something I'll
cook you supper tonight." this made the bear raise his brows. "you cook me
something?" chuckling she crossed her arms. "aye...i know how to cook thank you
very much." letting out an amused huff he nodded "alright it's a deal then.
I've got to go I'll be back as soon as I can." placing a kiss on her lips he
groaned when she tried to deepen it. "that's not fair." he mumbled out between
kisses. Giving a growl he stood. "I love you. Do me a favor and behave
yourself." "I'm always good." she told him as he walked away. "sure you are." 
Y/n relaxed in the streaming water for a while. Washing her body and hair she
hissed at the bites over her neck. The one on her shoulder hurt the most. When
the water was cold she stepped out of the bath,wrapping a towel around her
body. Going to the mirror she looked over her body. There were bruises all over
her. Turning hey head to the side she saw a dark red oval on her shoulder. The
bite itself was very deep and would no doubt scar. Around the area was a dark
purple bruise. Biting her lip she went to get dressed. 
It took some time to get her clothes on, stepping into her pants she realized
how sore she was between her legs. Her tunic wasn't any easier, lifting her
arms to put in her sleeves made her whimper in pain. The she wolf gave a huff
before setting out on her daily chores. Thinking as she worked she couldn't
help from smiling perhaps being a wife wouldn't be all that bad. 
.......
Three years had passed since beorn and y/n's wedding day. They had had their
ups and downs like all couples but had still lived and cared for one another.
It had took a long time but y/n had finally become pregnant with their first
cub. Beorn had smiled at the news and insisted that she not do too much. Y/
n had got used to his over bearing nature through the years and just rolled her
eyes. 
Currently the two were laying cuddled up in bed after a long matting session.
Beorn layed on his back holding his female in his side. She was sleeping
peacefully while he ran his hands up and down her back. The bear prince was
thinking. His mind filled with thoughts of what their child would look like. If
it would be a boy or girl. Would it take after him and be a bear or it's mother
and a wolf. Smiling he knew either way they would love their child no matter
what. Closing his eyes he slowly drifted off to sleep. 
 Beorn was awoken by screaming. Quickly sitting up in bed he saw y/n was no
longer beside him. "Beorn!?" jumping up he ran into the other part of the house
"Y/n?! Y/n what's... " rounding the corner he saw an orc holding y/n in the air
by her throat. She was kicking and pulling at the monster's hand but he just
held onto her harder, chocking her. Letting out a loud roar he ran up to the
orc tearing him from his female. Ripping his throat out he dropped his body to
the ground and went to his mates side. Helping her up off the floor he quickly
looked her over "ate you alright? Is the baby al.." he never got to finish his
question as more screaming came from outside. 
Looking outside they saw at least a hundred orcs attacking the village. People
were running around trying to protect the cubs, others were sitting to fight
the beasts. He saw his father and the other males fighting orc after orc, some
of their kind lady dead on the ground others being thrown into large cages.
Turning to his wife he saw her holding her belly, where their child was.
Feeling his heart rate accelerating he quickly lifted her into his arms and ran
to the bedroom.  Grabbing her clothes he told her to put them on and grabbed a
bag, filling it with a blanket, clothes, her dagger and a small bag of gold he
grabbed her sword and again lifted her into his arms. 
Grabbing her cloak on the way out he snuck past the orcs to the stables.
Placing hey on the horse he tied the bag to the saddle. "you go west. You don't
stop. I'll send the other females and cubs that way too..." he told her as he
worked. "I'm not leaving you... " he looked up to see her crying.  Cupping her
face in his hands he kissed her. "aye you will. You must my love. I will not
let anything happen to you or our cub. I will find you. I promise. Now go. Go
as fast as you can.... I love you." kissing her lips he keeps her right to him.
"go." seeing her cry more and shake her head he smacked the back of the horse
making it jolt off.
Watching her he saw as two orcs went to go after her and shifted into his bear
before ripping them apart. When he was done with them he ran to help the
others. Seeing his mother he told her to take the other females and cubs and go
after y/n. Seeing her nod he went back to fighting asking side his father,
Radolf and Conan. 
It was a massacre around him. He heard a blood chilling scream and looked to
see his father fall to the ground and his mother rushing to his side. He froze
at seeing his father's dead body. Giving a loud roar he swiped at orc after
orc. Turning his head he caught sight just as an orc shot an arrow into his
mother's back. "NOOOOO!" he roared going over to her. He nudged her cheek with
his snout. She looked up at him rubbing the side of his face before her hand
dropped to the ground.
Feeling a tear soak into his fur he looked around him to see men, women and
children being killed or thrown into metal cages. Beorn let out a loud roar
when he felt a pain in his side. Falling to the ground he unwillingly shifted
back into his man form. Looking down he saw an arrow in his side. Before he
could react three orcs were pinning him to the ground. He tried to throw them
off but to no success. Grabbing his arms they snapped shackles around his
wrists. Looking up he saw y/n at the edge of the cliff overlooking the village.
"GO NOW!" he roared and saw as she turned her horse and sprinted into the
forest just at something hit the back of his head making everything go black. 
 
***** Chapter 17 *****
It had been two years since beorn and his kind were imprisoned by the orcs.
Their leader azog the defiler forced them to work. He tortured them for fun.
Luka and most of the other males had been drove mad by his torturous game. He
had killed their cubs in front of them before rapping their wives. Beorn
thanked the gods everyday that his mate had gotten away. He prayed for her and
his cubs safety. How he missed her and the rest of his family. Follden and
Conan had been taken to another part of the fortress and beorn had never seen
them since.
Currently the bear prince that would have now been king sat against the wall of
his cell. His wrists and ankles chained together. Scars, dirt and blood covered
most of his body. The orcs had given them nothing but rags to cover themselves
with. This and starvation had caused most of his race to die of within the
first year. Beorn had pushed himself to stay alive. He told himself everyday
that he had to make it out of this place. He would find y/n and see his cub.
They would be a family.
Hearing the door open he looked up to see one of the orcs standing their with a
sword and whip in hand. Giving a growl the orc raised his arm and brought the
whip down at his feet. Standing he followed the orc out into the halls. There
were six other skin changers with him, all males. They followed the orc to
where they would be working today. For the past few days they had been mining
out a new tunnel. Going to the end of the cave beorn picked up his pick and
started swinging at the rock.
Hours had passed and they had moved further down. The male beside him learned
against the wall of the cave to rest a second but was seen by the orc guards.
In an instant they were hiding the man with whips and maces. Seeing the man
fall down beorn went to help him back up making the filth attack him as well.
Swinging his pick he hit one of the guards making him fly back into one of the
support posts. Hearing a loud crack they all looked up. A large crack made its
way across the ceiling and rocks began to fall. Seeing a large part fall beorn
jumped backwards out of the way. Soon he was cut off from the others.
Looking around him he saw a small sliver of light coming from the wall behind
him. Lifting his pick he hit against it. Seeing more and more daylight he swung
with all his strength until there was a big enough hole for him to squeeze
through. Seeing the sun for the first time in ages he sheilded his eyes. After
his eyes adjusted he took in a big breath of fresh air. Looking behind him he
saw a dark fortress. Hearing warg howls he took off in a run towards the
forest.
Beorn waited until the cover of night to leave the small cave he had hid in.
Walking out he saw the moon was full and it felt to be early spring. He turned
to his bear form an took off in a run towards the west. He ran for hours until
he thought he was far enough away from the orcs. Finding another cave he made
sure it was empty before going out to find something to eat. It having been so
long since he had eaten more than scraps he became sick making his stomach
empty once again. Going to the cave he let sleep claim him.
By the first light of day he was up again. Arriving at his old village he saw
it to be destroyed. Homes burnt to the ground or in ruins. Walking slowly to
his arms y/n's home he saw the door to be opened. Going inside he looked around
the place he remembered so well. Furniture was kicked over and things covered
the floor. Going into the bedroom he saw the cradle he had made for their child
that would never be used. Going to the dresser he found some of his old
clothing to wear. Anything was better than the tags that smelled of orc.
Once dressed beorn continued to look around the house. Looking for any clue to
where his wife may have gone. He stopped short when he saw y/n's dagger stabbed
into the table. He had packed that in her bag when he sent her off. She had
been here. Going over to it he saw one word carved into the wood. Rivendale.
***** Chapter 18 *****
It took a couple of days but beorn finally exhausted himself. Finding a small
cave the skin changer let sleep claim him. 
He was awoken by the sun in his face. Going to sit up he felt something soft.
Opening his eyes he saw that he was no longer in the cave but in a large room.
He was laying in bed with fresh sheets and his wounds had been bandaged up.
Hearing the door opening he looked over to see none other than y/n's uncle,
lord Elrond entering the room with a tray in hand. 
Seeing him awake the elf gave him a small smile. "I thought you would be
awakening soon." he told him as he sat the tray on the bed side table. On the
tray was fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and bread. There was two cups and a
large pitcher. One of the cups looked to have water in it. While the other had
a dark substance. Looking back at the elf he went to speak but was stopped.
 "drink this,  or will give you your strength back and make it easier for your
stomach to handle food." Elrond told him handing him the glass with the dark
substance. Smelling of it his lip curled up. Seeing Elrond raise his brow the
bear gulped down the disgusting liquid, having at the taste. 
Talking the now empty glad from,  Elrond handed him the glass of water to help
wash it down. Sitting the glass down he met the elf's eyes. "is y/n here?" he
saw as grief filled the man's eyes. "no I was hoping when we found you she
would have been with you..." shaking his head beorn felt lost,  "she said she
would be here.." "she was. She came here a little over two years ago completely
distraught. She told us what happened and I sent out a party to find any
survivors but we didn't find anyone. She was lost with the news and one day I
woke to find her gone. She left a note saying that she had to find you. I went
out after her but... " he stopped short making beorn look to him "what tell
me...please." looking him in the eye Elrond have a sigh "all I found was her
bag beside her bedroll. We searched for days but we found no trace of her."
hearing the news beorn felt his heart drop. "I have to go find her. She would
have had our cub by now... Their all alone. They need me." found to get up out
of bed Elrond put his hands on his shoulder to stop him.  "beorn you are too
weak to leave here right now. You need to get your strength back, if you do
find her she will need you to be healthy. Eat I will find you some clothes and
have a bath drawn for you." without giving him time to answer he left. 
 Beorn ate his food and surprisingly without it coming back up. Two elven women
came in and filled a large tub with steaming water and rosemary leaves. Getting
up he made his way to bathe. Sinking into the water he hissed at the water
hitting his wounds. Muscles relaxed that had been tensed for two years. Washing
his body and hair he sighed at feeling clean again. Once he was done he got out
and looked into the mirror. Seeing his hair and beard long and shaggy he
grabbed the shears and trimmed them back. Completely freshened up he found the
clothes Elrond had left, surprisingly they fit.
 Once he was dressed beorn made his way out to find Elrond. Plans were made and
a young ranger by the name of strider was to help him search for his wife.
Beorn didn't much care for the race of men but Elrond seemed to trust him
greatly so beorn decided he would give him a chance. At the first light of
morning they left to find the lost queen of the skin changers. 
***** Chapter 19 *****
They had been looking for a week now with no sign of y/n anywhere. It was like
she had vanished off the face of the earth. Beorn grew more depressed each day.
The ranger, strider had seen the skin changers worry but wouldn't say anything.
He knew nothing of what the man was going through, he only hoped that they
would find something out soon. 
They had been sitting by a small fire in the middle of the woods by the gap of
rohan. Strider had caught a few rabbits and offered some to beorn but he had
refused. "you are not going to be able to find her if your too weak to even
walk around. Eat something." strider said holding out the cooked hare for him
to take.  "I can not eat knowing my mate and cub may be starving." beorn told
him with his face held in his hands. Going to say something else he stopped and
both looked up when they heard howls. "warg scouts... They are close." strider
said standing up and grabbing his sword. Taking off his pants beorn shifted
into his bear form just add the orcs attacked.
They had killed all the wargs quickly. Taking off all of the orcs but one beorn
went to kill him but strider held up his hand.  "wait,  he may be able to tell
us something." giving a growl brown shifted back into his man form and put on
his pants.
Walking back over to the ranger he saw that he had the orc pinned up to the
mountain side with his sword to his throat.  "skin changer filth." the orc
hissed out making strider press the blade harder to his neck. Beorn gave a low
growl at the orc and tightened his fists holding in the animal. "a girl.. The
queen of the changers, where is she?" strider questioned. The orc moved to
stare at beorn. "he sent me to find you, azog." "if the scum wants me dead then
why not come himself? " beorn asked but the orc just have a dark laugh. "he
doesn't want to kill you. He says your life will be your punishment. To live
forever alone. The wolf bitch is dead like the rest of your race." beorn felt
his heart sink at the news and grabbed the orc by his throat holding him in the
air.  "LIAR!" he roared. "how does it feel to be the last of your kind." the
orc chocked out. Letting out a loud roar beorn squeezed the monster's throat
killing him. 
Dropping the orcs body beorn stumbled backwards and fell to his knees. Sitting
back on his legs he held his face in his hands and wept. His mate was dead. His
entire race was gone. He failed as a husband, he couldn't protect his female...
His cub. 
Seeing the broken man before him strider knotted his brows. He had no
experience with this and didn't know what he could do to help. Slowly he made
his way over to him, grief could make people do things they would never do.
Placing his hands on beorn's shoulder he took a deep breath. "I'm so sorry
beorn. You know you are more than welcome to come back to Rivendale... " "no.
I...i just want to be alone." he confessed in a sorrowful voice. Slowly the
bear stood going to grab the bag with y/n's things in it he looked towards to
east with tears in his eyes. "I thank you for everything you have done... Tell
Elrond I'm sorry."and with that strider watched as the last skin changer made
his way to live the reminder of his life alone.
It had been four years since beorn had escaped the cells of dol guldur. He had
went back to his and y/n's house, packing all that he could, all that was left
of his love. When a full cart he made his way north, back to the village he
once lived in. He found the house that he had started building when he and y/
n were courting. He smiled sadly as the memories of her would play through his
head. He remembered how feisty she had been. "so much attitude for such a
little one." he would tell her as he tried to hold her in his arms. 
He worked on the house till it was what he had planned on it being from the
start. He built a tall stone wall around it that would help keep out danger.
Over the years he had aquired many animals. His fields held many horses and
ponies along with dozens0 of chickens. A barn built into the side of the house
held cows, pigs and goats. Inside the house was his four dogs. They helped him
with many chores and offered him someone to talk to. Other than the animals and
the occasional visit from radagast beorn was extremely lonely. He had went to
end his own life many times but would stop when he thought of what his mate
would say. He could see the look on her face, the look of disappointment and
anger. So he lived on waiting until the day he would be with her and his family
again. 
This day started like any other. He fed the animals and worked in the garden
before going to scout the area for any intruders. Making a large circle around
his territory he stopped when he smelt something off. Perking his head up he
heard howls and screaming. Climbing to the top of the carrock he scanned his
eyes over the forest down below. Seeing orcs he gave a loud roar. 
Chasing the orcs off he saw as others ran towards his home. These people dare
trespass into his lands. Channing after them he saw as they made their way into
his home. Charging at the door he slammed into it trying to make his way in but
they pushed back. He growled at his head was hit by the large heavy wooden
door. In pain he pulled back giving them the opportunity to shut the door and
lock him out. Feeling more hatred for the orc filth he went to keep an eye on
them he would deal with the others later. 
***** Chapter 20 *****
It was late in the night when beorn returned to his home. Looking he saw many
figures laying in the hay. Sniffing the air he recognized the stench of dwarf.
Tightening his jaw he decided he would give the invaders shelter for the night.
Walking to his bedroom he layed in bed and stared at the drawing of him and y/
n. Giving a sad smile he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The next morning beorn was out chopping wood when he saw a man with gray robes
and a pointy hat came to stand in front of him. He sat his ax down and leaned
on it. The man who just so happened to be a wizard introduced himself as
Gandalf the grey. He and a company of thirteen dwarves and a hobbit from the
shire were on their way to reclaim the lonely mountain. They had escaped from
the goblins in the misty mountains and were being hunted down by azog the
defiler.
Beorn had invited them to sit around his table and poured them all mugs of milk
and went to go fix them something to eat when the leader of their company,
thorin oakensheild cleared his throat. Meeting the kings eyes thorin bowed his
head. "there is another in our company, a girl we found chained up in the
goblin tunnels. She is badly injured and requires medical attention." with
saying this he stepped aside to show beorn another dwarf with a bundle in his
arms. The woman was wrapped up in a fur but beorn could see her feet hanging
out the end. They were bloody and blistered.
Taking the fur thorin pulled it back to reveal a small girl. The sight that met
his eyes caused the bear man to drop the pitcher of milk and stumbled backwards
into the wall. Sliding down to the floor beorn felt tears come to his eyes. "y/
n? Th...that's not possible." he stuttered out. Everyone knotted their brows at
the scene before them, looking to Gandalf for anwsers.
Hearing a small whimper from the woman beorn crawled over to the dwarf. Without
a word he pulled her into his arms. Holding her tightly to his chest he stood
and carried her into the bedroom. Talking the fur from her body he saw she was
in nothing but rags. Her body was covered in cuts and bruises. Swallowing the
lump in his throat he grabbed his knife from his holster and began to cut the
cloth from her. Going to pull it away he stopped when he saw it was stuck in
places to her back. She had clearly been whipped and the fabric had stuck.
Taking a deep breath he quickly tore the clothes off of her. Y/n screamed out
in agony making beorn nuzzle his face against her cheek. "shhh it's alright my
love."
Hearing the woman scream thorin and Gandalf came to investigate. "do you know
this girl beorn?" covering her nudity with a sheet he looked at her. "she is my
wife... I thought she was dead." beorn whispered out "we have a healer in our
company. If you would like he could have a look at her." thorin said beckoning
over Oin. Knowing she needed help he nodded. He would have to deal with another
male seeing his mate's body.
It took a couple hours but Oin had got the she wolf cleaned and bandaged up.
Another dwarf known as nori was able to pick the lock of the collar around her
neck. Beorn now sat in a chair beside the bed. He looked at his wife with
worry. She was laying on her stomach with her back wrapped in bandages. Her leg
was broken along with many of her ribs. She had a black eye and her lip was
busted. Beorn saw that the point of her ear that had been cut open and was now
sewn back together. He closed his eyes at the thought of her being in so much
pain. She had told him when they were first married how sensitive an elf's ears
were. He would always make sure not to bite them too hard when they were
playing. Looking at her now he didn't know when he would ever be able to touch
her again. She looked so broken and fragile. She was extremely skinny, no doubt
from being starved. Tightening his jaw beorn swore that never again would
anyone hurt his mate.
The bear king had been sleeping in the chair beside his bed when he was awoken
by whimpering. Quickly sitting up he saw y/n was crying and shivering. Moving
to sit on the bed he pet her head. "shh it's alright darling. Hush little one,
you are safe. I promise no one will ever hurt you again." he cooed to her.
Hearing the familiar voice y/n thought it was her mind playing tricks on her
again and began to cry. "no my love please don't cry." beorn told her. 
Breathing in y/n smelt a scent she never thought she would smell again. Beorn
watched as his wife sniffled before stopping. Without opening her eyes she
sniffed at the air and slowly moved her head closer to his leg. He saw her nose
move as she smelt his leg then her eyelids fluttered open. It took a moment for
them to stay open but she looked up at him. Seeing him he saw as her lip
trembled and tears came to her eyes. "b..beorn?" she said just above a whisper.
Moving to kneel beside the bed he laid his head beside hers. "aye my love." he
choked out. Her eyes scanned his face "are you real?" she asked making beorn's
heart break. "aye y/n I'm here. I'm real." he told her as he gently took her
small hand in his own and brought it to his face. He kissed her knuckles,
letting his lips linger on her skin. 
When she began to cough he quickly grabbed the mug of water from the table.
Helping to lift her up since he pushed the mug to her lips. "drink y/n." he
told her gently and watched as she sipped at the water. When she had had her
fill he sat the mug back on the table. He saw as her eyes grew heavy and knew
she was fighting sleep. Add much as he wanted to talk to her he knew she needed
rest in order to heal. Moving to sit on the floor beside the bed he continued
to hold her hand. Placing a light kiss on her cheek he smiled softly at her.
"sleep my little wolf. I will be here when you awaken." doing as her husband
commanded she let her eyes close. Seeing her sleeping beorn layed his head on
the edge of the bed. Looking at her face he smiled "I love you." and drifted
off to sleep to the face of his mate for the first time in six years. 
***** Chapter 21 *****
The next morning Oin was there to change her bandages. Beorn thanked him and
looked at her sleeping form before going to help them get on their way. He was
leting them borrow his ponies until they got to the edge of mirkwood. Walking
over to thorin oakensheild beorn bowed his head. "I am forever in your debt for
saving my wife when I could not. When you get to the mountain if you should
need my assistance call for me and you will have it." The dwarf king smiled and
thanked him for his help, wishing them the best of luck beorn watched as they
made their way to the cursed forest. 
Going back inside he went to make a broth for when y/n woke up. She needed to
eat but he knew solid food would only make her sick right now. When it was
ready he placed the hot bowl on a tray along with a mug of milk, honey and
bread. Carrying it into the room he saw she was still sleeping but she was
gripping the sheets for dear life and giving small whines. Sitting the tray on
the bed side table beorn sat on the edge of the bed and pet the top of her
head. Feeling something touch her she flinched away from him. "shh it's
alright." he told her and saw as she relaxed into his touch. Opening her eyes
she looked up at him and gave a weak smile. 
Helping her to sit up he watched as she ate the broth slowly. Spreading the
honey onto the bread for her he handed it to her. She only ate a few bites
before stopping. He glanced at the bowl of broth noticing that she had only
eaten half of it and knitted his brows. "You have to eat little one." bitting
her lower lip she looked up at him "I can't." she said in a small voice. Taking
the bowl from her he scooped some into the spoon. "just a little bit more...
Please my love." he begged, holding the spoon to her mouth, she obeyed and let
him feed her the rest of it. 
Three weeks later and y/n was feeling allot better. Her back had healed along
with most of her other injuries. The only thing yet to heal was her broken leg.
Beorn had slowly worked her up to eating small solid foods. He was currently
scouting the territory for orcs. Before he had left he had made sure that y/
n was sleeping. She had been getting very restless and it was becoming harder
to keep her in bed. He was nearing the field when he heard a loud crash come
from the direction of the house. Fearing y/n was in danger he took off in a run
towards home. 
Shifting to his human form he didn't bother with pants as he ran in the house.
Skidding to a halt he let out a sigh at what he saw. There in the middle of the
kitchen floor was y/n. She was mumbling something and he could see as tears
fell from her eyes. Walking closer he saw that she was picking up pieces of a
broken plate up off the floor. "...so stupid....can't even.... " frowning he
kneeled down in front of her, startling her. "beorn?  I'm sorry.... I didn't
mean to.... I can fix it.... I'm sorry." she stuttered out looking back down
and attempting to pick up the mess faster. 
Confused by her fear he went to cup her face when she flinched away from him.
Freezing his movements he studied her. She was afraid of him. She thought he
was mad at her for breaking the dish. Going to hold her she tensed up. "y/n?
Look at me." he told her and watched as she slowly meet his eyes. "have I ever
raised my hand to you? Have I ever hurt you?" he asked and saw tears roll down
her face. "have I?" he asked again and she shook her head. "then why do you
cower away from me?" she shook and looked down at the mess on the floor "I
broke your plate." she sobbed hoarsely. 
Seeing her distress he let out a deep breath. Taking the porcelain from her he
sat it on the floor beside him and lifted her into his arms. Standing he sat
her on the dining room table. "it's just a plate my love. I would never hurt
you y/n." he told her in a gentle voice. Without a word she wrapped her arms
around his middle and hugged him. Looking down at her he saw her shoulders
shaking as she cried. Moving his hand he pet her head. 
Once she had calmed down he lifted her chin to look at him. Smiling at her he
got an idea. He had been waiting until she was feeling better but he decided
now was just as good a time as ever. "I have someone that I would like you to
meet." he told her smiling. Looking towards the back door he gave a loud
whistle and she smiled as four dogs came running into the house. Soon they were
all running up to beorn and jumping up to sniff at y/n's leg. Seeing them come
close to his mates injured leg he barked out something making them calm down
some. 
Looking back down at his female he saw her smiling and petting the dogs.
"what's their names?" she asked in a giggle making him smile. "this one here is
keba, Asher, Jagger and Edith." beorn watched as the dogs kept y/n cheerful. He
dressed before cleaning up the mess and looked to see she had started to make
supper. "here let me help." she said going to get off the table. Moving to hold
her where she was he looked down at her "oh no. You sit right here..." he
started but was interrupted "but I want to help." "you are not even supposed to
be out of bed yet. You either sit here or I make you go back in bed. Edith you
make sure she doesn't get up, if she does let me know." he told the dog. The
female dog gave a bark of obedience making y/n give a pout. Chuckling at her he
kissed the top of her head and went back to finishing up supper.
After they had eaten their meal he carried her to sit in his lap by the fire.
They stayed quiet for some time until beorn spoke up. "y/n I... I have
something I want to ask you. I don't want to upset you but I need to know..."
he confessed in a deep voice. Looking up she met his eyes, waiting for him to
ask his question. Beorn closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "what happened
to our...cub?" Y/n's face dropped and he saw tears well up in her eyes. "y/
n I'm sorry...." he started but she just shook her head and looked down. "no
I'm sorry. I didn't listen to you. After a few months I left Rivendale to find
you... I was by angmar when a group of orcs ambushed me. Azog sold me to the
goblins in the misty mountains. I hid my pregnancy for a little while but then
the filth noticed... They beat me and... I lost the baby.... I'm so sorry
beorn. I lost our child."
She was crying now and shaking with her sobs.  Beorn felt his heart break at
the loss of his unborn child. Looking at his mate he knew she carried a great
guilt on her shoulders. Pulling her into his arms he held her to his chest as
they both shead tears over the loss of their cub. "hush my little wolf. You
have no reason to be sorry. It was not your fault. You must not blame yourself.
We will never forget but perhaps one day we shall be blessed with another
child." he told her and placed a kiss on her forehead. 
After a little while she moved to straddle his lap. She nuzzled into his neck
making him wrap his arms around her. She placed light kisses on his neck and
beorn couldn't help from letting out a low growl. He felt as his member came to
life, hardening to press against her center through his pants. Throwing his
head back he tried to calm the animal in him. It was taking everything he had
from ripping his tunic from her body and fucking her right now. Taking a deep
breath he regretted it when he smelt her arousal thick in the air.
Soon she was kissing kissing up his throat to his lips. His were stiff against
her own making her pull back to look at him. Opening his eyes he saw she looked
embarrassed. Looking down she fiddled with her fingers "I'm sorry.... You don't
want to... " "no darling I want to, believe me I want nothing more than to feel
you again. But I will hurt you. It's been a long time and I don't want to loose
control." he confessed placing his forehead against hers. 
Looking up at him under her lashes she moved to rub her hands up his abdomen to
his chest. Beorn closed his eyes and hummed at the feel of his wife's hands on
him. "y/n I... " he started but she silenced him with a kiss. It was a tender
kiss, full of the love they shared. "I trust you. You won't hurt me." she
mumbled against his lips.
Taking a deep breath beorn growled before grabbing the back of her neck and
slamming his lips to hers. He licked at her bottom lip and she was quick to
comply. Opening her mouth he rolled his tongue into her mouth. Groaning at her
taste he continued to map out the territory. Moving his other arm under her ass
he held her to him as he stood and made his way to the bedroom. 
Carrying her over to the bed he sat her on it, taking the edge of the tunic in
his hands he broke their kiss to pull it over her head. Tossing it to the floor
he looked down to see her completely bare. Beorn growled deep in his chest, his
pants becoming extremely uncomfortable. Bending down he kissed her, moving one
of his arms he lifted her and moved them into the bed. Beorn hovered above her,
careful not to place his heavy form on her little one. Holding himself up by
one of his forearm and knees he rubbed his free hand down her body. Her skin
was so incredibly soft. While he was kissing her he felt as her own hands
scanned down his stomach to rest at the top of his pants. He hummed at he felt
her fingers untie the laces of his trousers, not being able to pull them off
she gave a small whine.
Breaking the kiss he licked a trail down her throat. While distracting hey he
removed his pants, kicking them off the bed. With nothing more between them
beorn began to kiss and lick down between her breasts. He felt as the beast in
him begged to be let loose. Holding it back he lapped at her nipples, suckling
on one then the other. Y/n was moaning with pleasure marking him smirk and
continue south.
Mindful of her leg he moved to lay between her thighs. He shunddered as the
smell of her sex hit him hard. Running his fingers up her slit he grinned at
the slick that covered his fingers. Not being able to hold back any longer he
leaned forward to lick at the sweet juice. Y/n's screams of pleasure made the
bear growl in approval. He drank down all she had to offer him, groaning at the
taste he had been deprived of for so long. He felt as she ran her fingers
through his hair. "beorn... Please... " she begged. Kissing at her thighs he
bit marks it the soft flesh, sucking on the skin to create love bruises on both
sides. 
Hearing her pleas he kissed up her body, moving to balance in his knees between
her legs. Pushing his mouth to hers she tasted herself on his lips. Lining up
with her he broke the kiss to look at her face. "If I hurt you or you wish to
stop you tell me and I will. Do you understand me? I mean it y/n." she could
tell by the seriousness of his voice be ment business and nodded her head.
Pressing his lips to hers he distracted her before pushing his hips forward. Y/
n gasped out at being stretched out around his cock. Beorn couldn't help but
let out a moan at being inside of her again. He buried his face into her neck
and groaned at how tight she was. Stopping his movements when he was fully in
her, he gave her time to adjust to his girth. "are you alright?" he mumbled
into her skin and felt as she nodded. Kissing her neck he pulled back out till
only the tip was left inside. Holding her he thrusted back in slowly. 
Beorn's thrusts were long and slow for a wine, he was afraid he would hurt her.
It was taking everything he had from fucking her into the bed and y/n could
tell. She felt as he tensed with each pump of his hips, she knew he was holding
back. Knowing he needed this, he needed to mate her like he wanted she licked
at his neck. Beorn held in a deep groan as she licked at his neck. Y/n nipped
at his ear and felt him shiver. "beorn let go. Stop holding ba..." she started
but he just shook his head. "no. I will not hurt you..." he said in a strained
voice. "you won't. You need this..." she urged but he just shook his head.
Giving a growl she bit his shoulder,  breaking the skin.
He gave a loud roar when his female's teeth sunk into his shoulder. No longer
could he hold back the animal in him. Grabbing her wrists tightly in one hand
he held them down above her head as he slammed into her. Moving his other hand
down he gripped her hip bone hard. Holding her to the bed he fucked her with
all his might. 
Y/n screamed out at him grabbing her hip. No doubt there would be a bruise
tomorrow. She moaned and gasped his name with every fast deep thrust of his
hips. Sucking marks into her skin he licked to her lips and pushed his tongue
into her mouth, swallowing down her screams as she spasamed under him.  Biting
her lips he tasted blood in his mouth and felt his own climax coming. Nipping
his way to her neck he pushed his cock as deep as he could into her body before
filling her with his seed. 
Y/n gasped as beorn roared. She felt as his cock pushed into her womb. She
tensed when his sharp teeth broke the skin of her throat. He bit hard, ensuring
that she would be marked as his once again. Growling around her flesh he felt
the animal calming within him. The bear was satisfied, he had successfully
claimed his territory. 
Coming back to reality he heard a small whimper from under him. Lifting his
head he released his hold on her neck. Looking down he saw her eyes were lidded
and wet with tears but she keeps a soft smile on her face. "I'm sor..." he
started but was cut off yet again by her soft lips. "I love you my bear." she
whispered out making him smile and press his forehead against hers "and I love
you my little wolf."
 
 
***** Chapter 22 *****
The next morning beorn woke to find y/n was no longer beside him. Sniffing the
air he perked up. Dressing he followed the delicious scent he found his wife
standing in the kitchen. She was wearing nothing but one of his tunics, which
was far too big for her as it was hanging off her shoulder. He stood watching
her for a minute. She was standing in front of the wood stove, cooking
breakfast. From the smell of it, eggs and pork.
When she went to move she became unbalanced on her injured leg. Moving quickly
beorn caught her before she could hit the ground. "you know you are not
supposed to be walking around yet. Your leg will never heal if you continue
like this." he said in her neck, his deep voice causing goosebumps to rise on
her skin. Looking up at him through her lashes she have him a guilty smile.
Chuckling he lifted her to sit on the counter. While he finished cooking. 
Once they had finished eating beorn had began his chores. He had carried y/
n over to where he was at the time, scowlding her when she would try to help.
He knew she was bored but he wasn't ready to have her out of his sight yet.
Afraid that something would take his mate from him once again. Currently she
sat on a tree stump sewing while he chopped fire wood. He had found her some of
his clothes to mend while he worked. 
 They had been telling about this and that when they heard a loud screech.
Looking up they saw dozens of eagles coming to land in the field. Beorn knew
they would never harm anyone but couldn't help from moving protectively in
front of his female. When the leader has landed he saw radagast dismount him
and make his way over to them. "beorn... The... " the strange man stopped when
he saw curious e/c eyes looking at him from behind the large bear man. "oh
hello." he said with a smile that she returned.
Moving to the side beorn went to stand beside where y/n was sitting. "radagast
this is my wife y/n...thorin oakensheild and his company saved her from the
goblins in the misty mountains." he said looking down at her with a soft smile.
"I have heard much about you Mrs. Y/n. It is a pleasure to finally meet you in
person. " the wizard said with a bow of his head. With a shake of his head he
looked back to beorn. "beorn I need a word with you... If you will?" the great
bear furrowed his brows at the seriousness in the man's voice. Looking down at
his wife he pet the back of her head and neck. "I will be right back." he told
her before walking off with the wizard.
When he returned from speaking with radagast beorn lifted his wife into his
arms and carried her inside. Y/n looked up at him with worry at seeing the
serious face. "beorn... What's wrong?" she asked as he sat her down on the bed.
Taking a deep breath he told her about the ongoing war at the lonely mountain
and that he must go help. "no. Beorn you can't go... " she said with tears
coming to her eyes. "I must y/n. I swore to help thorin for saving you. I owe
him. I will not let that orc filth take control over this land. I will be back
soon. I promise." he told her going to get up. Grabbing hold of his arm she
pulled on him. "no beorn please. I can't loose you again. I can't... " seeing
the desperation in her eyes he sighed, he knew what he had to do. "shh very
well I shall stay."
Moving to hold her he kissed her. Wrapping his arms around her he took hold of
the back of her tunic and pulled it over her head. Kissing down her neck he
pushed her back into the bed. Taking hold of her hips he followed her over to
lay in her stomach.  Climbing on top of her he sucked marks into her skin.
Hearing her moan he moved his free hand to unlace his trousers. Removing his
cock he lined himself up with her dripping sex. Thrusting his hips forward he
entered her. He heard her cry out in pleasure and gave a growl as he began
matting her. She clawed at the sheets as he slammed into her. Lowering down on
top of her he put some of his weight on her, showing dominance over her. Biting
at the nape of her neck he pushed his hips forward into her ass. Closing his
eyes he gave a roar before breaking her flesh with his sharp teeth. He bit hard
as he filled her with his seed. 
He heard as she screamed in pain but he saw as her body went limp under him.
Unlocking his jaws he pulled back. Looking down at his mate he couldn't help
the small whine that left his throat. He felt terrible for having to hurt her
but it was the only way. He had knew a rough matting session would wear her
out. Add that to his vicious claiming bite and she would be rendered
unconscious. Standing from the bed he tucked his member back into his trousers
and leaned down to pull the covers her hey also frame. He saw as her neck bled
but he would have to tend to it later. Kissing her forehead he nuzzled her
cheek "forgive me my love."
Tearing himself from her he made his way outside. Calling for the dogs he
barked to them to keep an eye on y/n and to not let her leave the house. Making
his way over to radagast he nodded before both men mounted the great eagles and
went off to war. Once in the air beorn looked back towards his home, his
family. He silently prayed that she would understand that he had to do this.
Unless the orcs were destroyed they would never be able to raise a family in
peace. He had to do this for them. 
***** Chapter 23 *****
The war had been a long and bloody one.  The battle of the five armies they
were calling it. Such an elaborate name for so much death. Beorn had been told
that all the line durin head been killed. Thorin's death was not in vain, he
had killed azog the defiler. The skin changer had been jealous of his vengeance
but he had been able to kill azog's son, bolg. For all that the orcs had done
to his race he finally felt at peace knowing azog was dead. The peace he knew
wouldn't last long as he was now making his way back inside his home. Y/n would
no doubt be giving him hell. 
It was dark inside the house the only light coming from the fireplace where a
large fire cracked. Most of the animals from what he could tell were asleep.
Perhaps if he was lucky his mate would also be sleeping. A war was easy
compared to the wrath of his female. Not seeing her in the living area he
rounded the corner to the bedroom. There was a small light coming from the room
where another fire was heating the house.
Pushing open the door he was met with a loud smack and a sting on his right
cheek. His eyes went wide as he looked down at the small woman in front of him.
She wore nothing but his tunic that was hanging off her small frame. Her face
was in great fury as she glared up at him. Bringing his hand up to his face he
rubbed the stinging sensation that filled his cheek. She had slapped him and he
could do nothing but stand there in shock. 
Coming to reality he went to stroke her cheek only for her to bite his hand.
"oww" he hissed quickly pulling his hand away from her. She said nothing as she
stomped over to the bed and layed down on it. Faceing away from him she
borrowed herself into the covers. Sighing he made his way over to the bed.
Taking off his pants and boots he sat down beside her. 
Laying down he moved to hold her but she just shuffled away from him. "come now
y/n you can't stay mad at me forever. I had no choice..." he started but was
cut short by a growl. "don't. Just don't beorn." she told him making him let
out a deep breath. "very well, I love you." he told her as he moved to sleep.
His mouth turned up into a small smile when she mumbled, "I love you too." they
had always promised never to go to bed angry with one another. He knew she was
still mad but that it would pass.... Hopefully soon. 
The next morning beorn woke to find y/n cuddled into his side. He couldn't help
from chuckling softly, no matter how mad she was at him her inner animal craved
to be next to its mate. Feeling a shaking y/n slowly opened her eyes to see she
was in his arms. Remembering the events from yesterday she gave a growl before
rolling over away from him and pulling the covers up over her body. 
Letting out a sound between a huff and a growl beorn turned onto his side to
look at her. Rubbing his hands down her side she pushed his hand away. "no you
don't get to touch me anymore." she told him. Having enough of her attitude
beorn pulled her onto her back. Y/n struggled to get away from him making him
hold her tighter and growl. Moving to lay on top of her since he held her arms
arms down by her head. "enough. I was not going to loose you to that filth
again. We would never be able to raise a child in peace." looking at him she
had tears in her eyes. "you mated me until I passed out then left me alone to
go off to war. What if you would have died?" cupping her face in his hands he
sighed "shhh it's alright darling. I didn't die. I'm here and azog will never
be able to harm us ever again." pulling her into a hug he felt as she nuzzled
his neck. 
They stayed like this for a minute before beorn felt y/n sniff at him. Pulling
back she looked at him "you smell like orc blood." she told him making him give
a hearty laugh. "hint taken." getting up out of bed she watched as he grabbed a
few things, shoving them into a bag. Going over to her he lifted her into his
arms "come along then my wife." he told her as he carried her outside. 
Stepping into the small clearing y/n looked around to see a steaming spring.
She smiled as he carried her over to it. Pulling the tunic from her he sat the
bag on the boulder and stepped into the hot water. Sitting on the last step he
cupped the water in his hand and brought it to her shoulders. Rubbing lightly
over the scared skin of her back. Feeling what the goblins had done to his mate
made his blood boil. He was soon calmed by the light feel of her lips on his
neck and chest. Beorn settled back as she rubbed water over his body, giving
approving growl as her fingers worked out the knots in his back. 
He was almost asleep when he felt her jump off his lap. Looking up he was met
with a splash of water. Tightening his jaw he looked over to see her giggling
and swimming away from him. Jumping after her he missed when she dived under
the water. "ha ha very funny. You need to let me clean your wounds." he told
her. He saw as the top of her head poked out of the water showing only her
eyes. Making a come hither motion with his finger he growled when she just
shook her head. Wading out over in front of her he went to grab her when she
spit water in his face and dived under again. "y/n." he started in a growl but
turned into a yelp when he felt something bite his leg under the water. "oh
that is it." swimming after her he lifted her into the air with one hand while
tickling her with the other. He mumbled at the sensitive skin off her sides
making her laugh and giggle. "NOOOOO please be... Beorn. Okay I submit." she
gasped out in a laugh making him smile. Hearing her submit her moved to cradle
her in his arms as he carried her back over to the bank. 
Beorn washed her body and hair with the lye and honey soap before she returned
the favor. Once they both were clean he held her in his lap and moved her hair
aside. He furrowed his brows at the deep bite mark on her shoulder. Licking at
the wound he tightened his grip on her when she flinched away. "hold still,  it
has to be cleaned." he told her and felt as she just nuzzled into his chest.
Nudging her face he went back to work cleaning the bite.
 
***** Chapter 24 *****
Beorn sat beside his mate carving her knitting needles. Y/n worked the niddle
through the silk fabric the dwarves had given beorn for her. She would finally
be able to have clothes of her own. Beorn was not very happy about her no
longer needing to wear his tunics. The man had quite enjoyed the easy access to
his mate with the little clothing. Just this afternoon he had taken advantage
of that.
Walking in after his patrol he stopped to lean against the door frame. He
couldn't help the smile on his face at seeing his wife in nothing but his
tunic, humming softly as she stirred a pot of stew on the stove. He watched as
she went to go grab the bowls from the shelf. Not being able to reach them she
stood on her tip toes and reached. Seeing the him of the shirt rise to show her
bottom he felt his cock grow stiff. Moving to stand behind her he grabbed the
bowls from the shelf and placed them on the counter.
Trapping her between the counter and himself he buried his body into her neck.
Breathing in her scent he gave a gravely purr. "mmmm you smell delicious my
little wolf." grinding his hips against her backside he groaned. "oh no it's
time to eat..."she went to tell him but was stopped by strong hands grabbing
her hips. "and eat I shall, but I would like my dessert first." he told her as
he went to go kiss her. 
Y/n smiled as she turned in his hold. Kissing his lips she glanced sideways
before pulling away from him and ducking under his arm. Beorn went to grab her
but she was faster and slipped away. Biting his lower lip he gave a playful
growl as he turned to look at her. Waving his finger at her she just giggled
before bolting around the corner away from his sight. 
Beorn took his time going after her. Going around the house he quickly found
her to be gone. He could still smell her scent strongly in the air and knew she
had not gone outside, she was hiding. "come out little one." he called as he
looked for her. Hearing nothing he looked to his dogs "where's she at?" he
asked but saw as they just barked happily and stayed where they were. "your on
her side? Traitors." he told them with a laugh. They had taken a quick fondness
for his female. He knew they would she had allways been good with animals
especially of the canine breed. 
He had been looking for a good ten minutes now and had still not found her.
Standing in the middle of the room he looked around. Suddenly he was attacked
from behind.
Y/n had watched from her hiding spot in the beams of the ceiling as beorn
looked for her. She had to cover her mouth as she giggled when he didn't know
where she was. Seeing him stop in the middle of the room she jumped on his
back. Giving a growl she bit his ear and gave a shake of her head. 
"ugfff" he huffed out when he felt her jump on him. Feeling her bite at his ear
he growled out playfully. "let go." he told hey only to feel her shake her head
more. Grabbing her middle with one of his arms he pulled her from his back.
Holding her as she kicked and screamed he carried her into their room. 
Throwing her on the bed he saw as she went to crawl away from him making him
jump after her. Grabbing the ankle of the non broken leg he pulled her to him.
"oh no you're not escaping from me this time." holding her wrists in his hand
he began nibbling on her hips and ribs. She laughed and fought with all her
might to get away from his tickling. Licking up to her breast he sucked her
nipple into his mouth. 
Slowly her fighting stopped as his attacks became sexual. Giving a whine, beorn
moved his hands lower. Rubbing his fingers through her folds he coated his
digits in her slick before pushing them into her. Continuing to suck marks into
her skin he pumped his fingers in and out of her, preparing her. He grinned
around her nipple in his mouth at hearing her cries of pleasure. Tugging on the
little nub with his teeth he removed his hand to pull the tunic over her head. 
Moving between her legs he lined himself up with her before slowly sliding into
her. The large man groaned as she stretched out around him. Pulling back his
hips he thrusted them forward. He felt as she grasped at his arms and
whimpered. Glancing down at her bare chest he brushed when he saw her small
teats bounce with every pump of his hips. Rolling over he heard y/n give a yelp
and held her to him as he sat up on the bed.
With her in his lap he placed one hand on the back of her neck and shoulder,
while the other held onto her lower back and ass. Kissing her lips he lifted
her up and down, impaling her onto his member. Y/n moved to nuzzle into his
neck, moaning at the feel of him inside her. "Ahhh beorn." "mmmm that's right,
sing for me." the bear growled, slamming up into her. Crying out as his thrusts
got harder y/n moved to bite down on his shoulder. Beorn roared as he felt his
mate bite him. With one more deep push they both cried out in their orgasms. 
Calming down beorn kissed the top of her head before leaning back into the bed.
Y/n just layed on his chest purring contemptly as he rubbed her back. Feeling
her breath deepen he smirked and turned to lay her on the bed. Pulling from her
he kissed her chest and covered her up with the fur. 
That night beorn was awoken by whimpering. Y/n had been having terrible
nightmares as of late. Rolling over he went to pull her into his arms when he
felt fur in place of her soft skin. Jumping up he looked down to see a h/c and
white colored wolf laying beside him. It was small for a wolf about the size of
a small doe. Beorn noticed its ears were shaped differently than normal wolves
as well. His breaths were heavy as he pulled back the covers to see it wearing
a torn tunic. "y/n?" he questioned, never had he seen her wolf form,  not in
all their years together. 
Hearing her whine and whimper he knotted his brows. Slowly he moved his hand to
stroke her head and neck. "y/n my love wake up. It's just a dream." he told her
as he shook her gently. Suddenly the she wolf jumped up and bit down on the
thing touching her. Heading a loud deep scream she opened her eyes to see her
husband in pain. Tasting blood in her mouth she quickly released him. 
Beorn yelled out when she bit his arm. His first instinct was to attack as well
but he quickly stopped himself from hurting his mate. Looking up he saw as her
eyes shot open,  shock and sadness filled her eyes. Letting him go he watched
as she backed up quickly to the other side of the bed. She was whimpering and
he saw as her eyes watered up when she looked at his arm that was now covered
in blood. Reaching out to her she stumbled away from him "y/n it's alright..."
he went to tell her but saw her just look to him in shock. Letting out a sad
whine she ran from the room. "y/n no come back, it's alright." he yelled
getting out of bed to chase after her. 
 
 
 
***** Chapter 25 *****
Beorn's bear form sniffled at the ground frantically searching for his mate. He
limped slightly from the bite on his arm. Finding the familiar scent he
followed it to the ridge. Looking out there she was. He sighed as he saw the
small wolf curled up in the snow. Walking up to her slowly so not to startle
her he heard her crying softly. Nuzzling her he gave a low whine. Laying down
beside her he curled up with her in his side. Laying his head down beside hers
he kicked at her snout.
"it's alright my love." he huffed out. "no it's not. I hurt you...." she
whimped. "darling I've hurt you before. It was an accident." he told her as he
continued to lick at her. "beorn I don't know what's going on. I'm scared."
beorn saw his mates distress and knew he needed to take her home. "come little
one let's get you back home."he told her, standing he saw her trembling. Y/
n went to stand only to fall back down. She clenched up and whimpered softly as
her stomach ached. Beorn felt confused, lowering his head he bit down on the
scruff of her neck and helped pull her up to her feet. They walked for only a
little ways before she again feel back down, letting out a yelp. 
Worried about his female beorn quickly shifted into his man form and lifted the
Wolf into his arms. He was freezing in the snow but he ignored it. Carrying her
into the bedroom he layed her down gently on the bed. "y/n you need to shift
back so I can look you over." she whined "I can't." beorn knew shifting for her
was very painful, she had told him before. He had always guessed that was why
she never made the change. "you have to... We need to figure out what is
causing your pain." the she wolf only layed her head in his lap. "relax,  I
will help you." he told her as he pet her head and neck. It took a good while
but finally her body began to make the change. Beorn gawked at the sound of her
bones breaking before resetting. She cried out in pain and he saw as tears fell
from her eyes. When it was over he looked down at his now sleeping wife. She
looked completely exhausted and slightly pale. He knew she would need more help
than he could offer.
A week had passed before y/n's uncle Elrond had arrived at their home. Beorn
had sent out one of his ravens with a note for the Lord. He told him how the
dwarves had found her in the misty mountains and she needed his help. In the
week it took the elf to get here beorn felt useless. He watched as y/n's buddy
would unwillingly change from wolf to human, making her extremely exhausted. He
had forced her to eat but most of the time it would not seem to settle on her
stomach. 
Beorn had been cooeing her to sleep when he heard a knock on the door. Leaving
her side he opened it to reveal Elrond. He quickly informed him of y/n's
condition before bringing him to her side. She was now back in her human form
and shaking under the furs. Elrond went to her side, rubbing the side of her
head and tucking a strand of hair behind her pointed ears. "so you survived
after all Róven lóth."  beorn furrowed his brows "what was that you called
her?" Elrond smiled and looked to the large man. "Róven lóth, it means wild
flower. That is what her mother always called her, free spirited and uniquely
beautiful." beorn grinned.  "that she is."
Beorn sat in the corner of their bedroom while Elrond checked over y/n. He
tensed up when she let out a pained whimper. When he had went to feel her
stomach y/n snarled and shifted into her wolf form, curling up with her tail
covering her belly. Hearing her snarl beorn went to her side. He knew Elrond
was only trying to help and would not allow his mate to attack him. "y/n stop
it now. Elrond is only trying to help... " he scowled her but stopped when he
felt a hand pat his shoulder.
Turning he saw the weeks to be smirking and chuckling softly. "it is quite
alright beorn. I know what it is." straightening up he met the man's eyes. "you
are going to be a father beorn. Congratulations. I suspect she will give birth
in spring." for a few minutes beorn just stood there in shock. When the words
sunk in he felt a swell of pride full his chest. Smiling he looked down to his
female, who didn't look as shocked about the news they had just received. "you
knew... " he said making her tail wag and look up at him innocently. "I will
leave you to tell him the rest. Get plenty of rest. I shall return in two
months to check in you. Be well Róven lóth." he told her with a smile and began
to make his way out of the house. Not being able to stop smiling beorn glared
down at y/n playfully "we are going to talk about this when I see him off."
beorn gave a hearty laugh when she just covered her face with her tail. 
Stepping quickly to catch up with the elf beorn meet him as he reached his
horse. "thank you for your help Elrond. I do not know how to repay... " "you
may take care of my niece. That is thanks enough." Elrond told him with a firm
nod. "I was wondering, why she is shifting boys when she never had before?"
quistioned. Mounting his horse Elrond was even with the tall man. "I believe
her body thinks that in her wolf form she can better protect her child. With
everything that happened with your first she is nervous and scared that
something may Isaiah to this one as well. She will come around in time don't
worry. I will be back in two months to check up on the development of the
child. Take care beorn." shaking his hand beorn watched as he rode away. 
Going back to his mate he saw her now in her human form sitting on the floor by
the fire. She was looking into the flames while she pet Edith's head that layed
in her lap. The female dog had been constantly around y/n, knowing now that she
was with child he understood why. Moving to sit behind her he pulled her into
his lap. Wrapping his arms around her he placed his hand gently over her womb.
"how long have you known?" he asked her, rubbing his nose up and down her neck.
"a week." she answered truthfully. "you have known for a week and didn't tell
me. Why?" hearing the hurt in his voice she turned to straddle his lap. "I did
not want to cause you false hope if it wasn't true. I wanted Elrond to confirm
it first... Please don't be angry with me beorn." "I could never be angry with
you my love. I just wish you would have told me so that I could have gotten a
head start on the things that will need to be prepared for the cub." 
Kissing her lips he ran his hands up her bare back. Pulling back he rested his
forehead against hers. "cubs." she softly sighed with a smile on her face.
Knotting his brows he opened his eyes and leaned back to see her smiling.
 Giggling at the confusion on his face she held up her hand. Glancing at her
small hand his breath caught when he saw three fingers wiggling.
***** Chapter 26 *****
"no if I have told you once I've told you a thousand times now... "beorn
growled carrying his now very pregnant wife into the house. "I don't see why
it's that big of a deal." she huffed out, clearly annoyed. "you could give
birth any day now, you can not be wondering out into the forest alone. What if
you were to go into labor and I wasn't there. What if someone was trying to
hurt you...." he nags add he gently placed her on the bed. "I'm certain that if
I went into labor you would hear me." she tells him pouting. Glaring at her he
shakes his head "stay in the house or in the yard. If I catch you in the forest
or trying to sneak in the forest again I will tie you to the bed." with that he
went to finish his patrol. 
Three days later and beorn was following y/n around the house as she cleaned
their home for the hundredth time. "y/n darling the house is as clean as its
going to get. You need to rest." he told her grabbing hold of many pillows and
blankets she was placing in his arms. "I'm done cleaning." she told him as she
pulled him into the bedroom. Crawling into the bed she began to place blankets
and pillows where she wanted them. When beorn went to help he was quickly
stopped by a small growl from his female. He was very young when follden was
born but he did recall his father telling him that female skin changers make
nest like areas when they are about to give birth. "...word of the wise son,
don't get in your mates way." klane told him. Thinking now beorn realized just
how true his father's words had been." 
The nest was finished after many redos and aggravated growls. Finally beorn had
managed to sit y/n down at the table and get her to eat something. The large
bear furrowed his brows at the women in front of him. She was only picking at
the food. Edith sat close by, her eyes never leaving y/n. He became alert when
she closed her eyes tightly and tensed up, making the dog give a whine. He was
about to ask her if she was alright when he heard a knock at the door. Standing
he quickly made his way to the door. Opening it he saw Elrond, strider and two
elven women behind them, one he knew to be y/n's cousin, Arwin. 
Allowing them inside they were in the middle of introductions when they heard a
bark. Beorn was quick to run into the dining room to see y/n curled up in pain.
Going to her side he brushed the hair away from her face to see tears rolling
down her cheeks. "y/n?..." Arwin was quick to go to the couple, planning her
hand on y/n's belly she looked to beorn. "beorn I need you to go lay her on the
bed, get her undressed." hearing the seriousness in her voice he nodded and
lifted his wife into his arms. As soon as he layed her down and got her
undressed the two women were looking her over and rummaging through the bags
they had brought with them. Beorn stood in the middle of the room lost until
Arwin looked to him,  "beorn we need hot water, towels and a bowl please." she
told him but his attention went to his wife that was now screaming in pain.
Feeling a hand on his arm he looked back to the elf "she will be alright
beorn." she told him in a calming voice making him nod and hurry to get these
items they had asked for.
The bear king now sat in his large chair with Elrond and strider. The three men
could do nothing but wait and listen to the storm that raged on outside and the
screaming of child birth inside. He held his face in his hands and bounced his
knee in worry. Y/n had now been in labor for five hours. Strider had went to
start up a conversation with him only to see Elrond shake his head. The elf
lord knew what beorn was going through. When your wife was in so much pain you
didn't want anyone to talk to you. 
Feeling Edith lift her head from beorn's lap he looked up when a crack of
lightning hit. Suddenly the large house was filled with the wail of a baby.
Beorn smiled as another joined in. "father!" Arwin called in a panic filled
voice making beorn worry. He watched as Elrond went to the bedroom. Fearing
something was wrong beorn stood and went to join the group only to feel someone
grab his arm. Turning to glare at the man behind him strider held up his hand
"they know what they are doing beorn." before he could respond Elrond walked
out with a smile on his face. "they are all fine beorn. Arwin and Ada are
cleaning them up now."
The time it took for beorn to be able to see y/n and his cubs seemed to last
ages. When the two elven women came out of the room he swallowed the
nervousness bubbling in his chest and made his way into the room. Pushing open
the door he looked to see his mate sitting on the bed with three little bundles
laying on her chest under the furs. She met his eyes as he entered the room and
gave him a tired smile. Beorn couldn't help from being slightly worried at how
pale she was and the dark circles under her eyes. 
Taking a deep breath he moved to sit beside her on the bed. Slowly he pulled
back the fur to see his three small cubs. They were so cuddled up with each
other. He gave a large smile at them and became nervous when y/n moved to place
one after the other in his arms. "meet you daughter and your second daughter."
he could do nothing but smile as the little cubs nuzzled into his chest, giving
small grunts. Knotting his brows he looked over to see one more of his cubs
still in y/n's arms. It was tinier than the two females he was holding and and
want making any movements. "lastly your son." she said gently turning him so
beorn could see his face. "he's so tiny... " beorn said with worry clear in his
voice. Sighing she stroked the little boys cheek, "aye, he's the runt... But
say you watch papa I'll grow fast." she said looking at the little cub with
teary eyes. 
Beorn could hear the fear in his mates voice. He knew her worry well and felt
it himself, runts often died within the first year. Forcing a smile he moved to
hold the girls with one arm and lifted y/n's cub with his finger "he'll be okay
my love. He's our son, that means he's a fighter." beorn told her moving his
hand down to gently pet the small cubs head. "you'll make it." he told him. 
***** Chapter 27 *****
Beorn and y/n layed in bed under the covers add the first light of day entered
the house. He held her in his arms with her back to his chest. Hearing small
footprints beorn buried his nose in her neck and pulled the furs over their
heads. "perhaps if we stay quiet they won't find us." he told her in a deep
raspy voice making her giggle. Kissing at her neck he heard her give a purpose
before they were interrupted by laughing and the door opening. Beorn groaned
and grunted at the little creatures jumping on his form. "mama! Papa! Wake up
wake up." the little voices said in unison. Beorn gave a loud snore making the
cubs giggle and pull the fur from their parents heads. "papa come on you said
we would we would go adventuring today." when he didn't move he heard a small
growl and looked to see his son sitting on his chest with a angry glare that he
didn't find the slightest but intimating "you promised." laying out a huff he
looked to his smiling mate "he takes after you." he told her before getting out
of bed. 
Once they were all dressed the family made their way into the forest. Beorn
walked beside his wife at a slow pace. He watched carefully at the three
children in front of them. The triplets were now four years old and growing
like weeds. Their was Nita and Tala the two girls. Both shared the same hair
color as their father but had their mothers bright e/c eyes. Tala was layed
back like her father and seemed to go with the flow. Nita was very curious
about what the world had to offer, she was kind and gentle. Lastly their son
Grimbeorn was a spitting image of his father. The only difference was he had
one gold eye and one e/c eye. He was wild and hot tempered just like his
mother. It had taken him longer to grow but he caught up to his sisters. The
three had started shifting at different times, Tala had turned into a bear when
she was two years old with Nita right behind her being a wolf. Grim as they had
taken up to calling him had shifted one day out of anger when his sister had
tripped him. Beorn ran into the yard when he heard the yelp of his cub.
Charging into the garden he found the three to be fighting on the ground. 
Tala was attempting to break up the fight still in her human form while Nita
and Grim rolled around growling and bitting each other. Beorn lifted his son
into the air by the scruff of his neck. Giving a growl when the make bear cub
thrashed and growled in his hold. The two girls were quick to climb onto his
back making him since when Nita's claws scratched at his leg.
Carrying the three inside he found y/n to be leaning on the bed with a hand
over her mouth. Hearing him enter the room she turned around and quickly tried
to hide her discomfort. She raised her brows when she saw their son as a bear.
Beorn lifted his head, handing the boy over to his mother. The other girls
jumped from his back onto the bed while their father went to go shift back and
put on his pants. 
Coming back into the room y/n was scowling the children from fighting while
putting their clothes on them. Once they had apologized to each other beorn
shooed then outside telling them to stay in the garden. Turning back to his
mate he looked at her with worry. Lifting her chin he looked into her eyes.
"what is it little one?" he asked. Seeing her bite her lip he lifted her into
his arms and sat down on the bed. "tell me." he purred. "I'm pregnant."  she
whispered. Instantly he became worried. It had been very dangerous for her the
last time she had given birth and he was worried that if they ever tried to
have another she would not live through it. 
Not seeing any joy on his face she felt as tears fell from her eyes. Perhaps he
didn't want anymore cubs. Becoming emotional she got up from his lap. Walking
away from him she went into the forest to be alone. Beorn couldn't help but
feel overwhelmed by the thought of her dying. He didn't even notice she had
left his lap until he looked up. Seeing her gone he stood and went to go find
her. She was not with their cubs as she normally was nor was she anywhere else
in the house. Feeling a tug on his pants leg he looked down to see his little,
Tala looking up at him with worried eyes. "papa why mama cry?" she asked in a
curious voice. Kneeling down to her level he stroked the side of her face "mama
was crying?" he asked and saw as she nodded making her brown curls bounce. "I'm
going to go find mama can you stay here and make sure your brother and sister
are good?" he asked and smiled when she again nodded. "good girl." he told her
kissing the top of her head. Locking the gate he went to find his wife. 
Waking into the forest beorn followed his mate's scent. Looking out he saw her
sitting on the roots of a tree. She was curled up into a ball, crying. Beorn
felt a pain in his chest at seeing her so sad. Slowly going over to her he sat
beside her and pulled her into his lap. He felt as she nuzzled into his chest
"I'm s...sorry beorn." she choked out. "why should you have any reason to be
sorry my darling?" he asked her as he rubbed her back softly. "I'm pregnant
again... You don't want any more cubs." she sobbed making him confused. "what
have you that idea?" he asked. "you didn't say anything when I told you... You
looked unhappy." realizing his mistake beorn cussed himself. "no my little Wolf
I'm not unhappy. I'm worried and afraid but I would never be angry with you for
bearing my cub. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear." he told her, placing a
kiss on the top of her head. "why are you afraid?" she asked with a sniffle. "I
don't want something to happen to you." he admitted. 
That had been a few months ago and y/n was now well into her pregnancy. The
cubs had been very excited to learn they would be getting a new sibling. Beorn
had laughed uncontrollably when they had argued about what the child would be.
Grim's reason was still sunbathing he and y/n joked about, "it needs to be a
boy." he told his father wig a serious face.  "and why can't it be a girl?" y/
n asked. The little boy had mad a disapproving face and looked at his sisters,
 "there's already two of them." he growled making his father laugh until he was
red in the face. 
Beorn was happy to learn that they would only be having a single cub this go
round. He knew that it would be much easier on his mate. Looking down to his
mate now walking beside him he smiled when he saw her pushing herself to keep
up. Scooping her into his arms he carried her the whole way back to the house.
Sitting her down when they came into the garden he made his way to go lay the
cubs down for their nap while y/n rested. He was covering them up when he heard
a gasp and a thud.
Running to his mate in fear she had fallen he rounded the corner of the garden
to see a large figure touching her. Giving a growl he stopped when the man
pulled back to look at him. What he saw made the breath get knocked out of his
chest.  Beorn met the eyes of a male that had aged but he could never forget.
"Follden?" he choked out. Follden smiled "hello brother." was all he got out
before beorn was embracing him in a great hug. Y/n gave a large smile at the
two brothers being reunited. "how?.. " beorn asked pulling back to look at his
little brothers face. "...follden you little shit... Just because you can
actually walk right... " they heard and looked to see another male coming
through the gate of their garden. Y/n let out a sob as she ran into the arms of
her cousin, Conan. He was limping and using a cane but dropped it to spin his
cousin around in a hug. 
Once the four were standing beside each other follden and Conan told them how
the dwarves had reclaimed Moria. They had been moved their while beorn was
still in dol guldur. Freeing them the dwarves took them back to Rivendale to
heal, that is where Elrond had told them where to find them at. Their
conversation was interrupted by whispering coming from the door of the house.
Looking over they saw as three little eyes were spying on them. "aren't you
supposed to be in bed?" beorn asked making them run out to their parents, "Nita
made me do it." Grim said making the little girl growl and stomp her foot "did
not." shaking his head between looked up to his chuckling brother.  "well I was
going to ask what the two of you have been up to but I can see now that you
have been quite busy." he said making beorn laugh and y/n blush. 
 A few years later beorn sat in his large chair holding his youngest son in his
lap as the older cubs played on the floor. "alright children time for bed." he
said standing to follow them into the room. Once everyone was tucked in he told
them he loved them and shut the door. Making his way outside he waved at his
brother and his wife. Follden and Conan had built a house by beorn's before
finding wives and marrying. Slowly but surely the rave of skin changers was
making a come back. 
Walking to the carracot beorn sat on the large boulders in front of a grave.
Looking at the intensely carved head stone he looked away when he saw his
wife's name. Y/n's had survived the birth of their second son, much to
everyone's disbelief. It wasn't until the following winter that she had became
very ill. Beorn had done everything he could to take care of her. He had
summoned Elrond but y/n had finally given up. She was in too much pain. Beorn
held her in his arms when she told him she loved him and to take care of their
cubs. He had wept for hours begging her to come back.
Sighing he looked back at the wooden plak "Hello my love... The boys had
another fight again today...  Torben Keeps asking when you're coming home and
Grim gets mad at him for not understanding. They all miss you so much. I miss
you... I don't know how to raise them. I can't do this without you... " his
words turned into sobs as he held his face in his hands. Feeling someone cup
his cheek he looked up and felt his heart stop. 
It was his love. She was dressed in her normal tunic and trousers with her hair
flowing down her back. She was smiling at him softly and her body had a light
shine to it. "aye you can." she told him. "y/n? Why did you leave me?" he wept
making the she wolf give a saddened look. "oh my bear I didn't want to. You are
never truly alone. I'm always with you in here." she tells him while placing
her hands over his heart. Beorn hugs her tightly nuzzling his face into her
chest. He feels as she runs her fingers through his mane and kisses the top of
his head. 
Seeing another glow to the side of her he looked to see a older looking male.
He had a large frame and h/c hair like y/n's. Following her mates eyes she
looked to see her father standing a little ways away.  "it is time to go pup."
his deep voice rang. Instantly beorn tightened his grip on her and shook his
head. "no. Don't go please." he begged but she just made him look at her.
 "don't morn me beorn. Be happy and strong... For our cubs. I will see you
again, when it is your time. For now you live a long life. You watch as our
children grow and have little ones of their own.  No more tears... Promise me
beorn." She purred. Closing his eyes he nodded. Smiling she pressed her lips to
his. "I love you my bear." she told him as she pulled back. He watched as she
made her way to her father. "and I love you my little wolf." he told her before
watching the two shift into their wolf forms and run off. "forever." he
smiled.
