Big Bear: BBW Bear Shifter Paranormal Romance (BRIDES Fur BEARS Book 4) by Natalie Kristen

pummeling him on the back and yelling delightedly.
    Zoe stood to the side and waited. Finally, she cleared her throat and shooed the rowdy group from the bedside. “Let me take a blood sample,” she said. Bending down, she whispered in Nick's ear, “Once I get the test results backs, I'll have you discharged right away. I can't wait to take you...home.”
    Home. That single, simple word held so much meaning, hope and promise.
    Nick's eyes widened as he stared at her.
    Blushing, Zoe whispered, “ Our home.”
    Nick's handsome face split in a grin and Zoe gasped when everyone started cheering and clapping. She looked up to see Gramma, Ne-ma and all the guys leaning in, shamelessly eavesdropping on their little, intimate exchange.
    “Can we help plan your wedding?” Gramma and Ne-ma crowed. “We love weddings! And we've never planned a wedding for a griffin shifter before!”
    Overcome with emotion, Zoe could only nod and smile at all the gleeful, excited faces in the room.
    All these people accepted her and loved her as she was. And she knew that they would protect her with their lives, just as she would gladly lay down her life for them.
    She was a griffin, a one-of-a-kind, powerful, unique hybrid. And she would use her full powers to defend and protect the town she had grown to love and all the people in it.
    She knew that she still had a lot to learn about her animal. She realized that she might never, ever meet another griffin in her life, but she didn't feel alone. She wasn't alone.
    She had her mate, and she had so many wonderful friends, colleagues and neighbors in this town.
    “Yes! Of course,” Zoe said at last. “I'm going to have a big, griffin wedding and I'm going to invite the whole town! You're all my family! I'm so glad I came to Shadow Point and I am never leaving!” She laughed happily. “This is my town, my home, and I—am your griffin!”
