Army Beasts Resurrection Read Free

married more than likely. Did they have children? Three hundred and sixty five days and some change without contact with people whom he loved. It felt like an eternity.
    Even though his muscles ached and his body protested. He pushed on in his run and when he finally saw his cabin , he sighed in relief, collapsing on the wooden steps to catching his breath. Today was a little better , but he knew without a doubt his left leg would never be the same. There was just something that could not be fixed in human or shifter form.
    He saw the black SUV coming up his rocky driveway and knew it was Amari. He knew her vehicle like the back of his hand down to the ladybug stickers on the back. An instant smile crossed his face and his heart leap ed with joy. Seeing her was the best part of any day . T oday she was earlier than usual. She parked close to the tree line as she usually did , got out of the driver ’s side and greeted him with a small wave.
    “I brought you some groceries , including Oreos . A nd the G irl S couts had a sale outside the supermarket.” She thre w a smile at him before she pulled bags from the passenger side of the truck. “Can you say Do-Si-Dos? ”
    “ Do-Si-Dos, ” he repeated with a grin. “What do I get?”
    “A pat on the head,” she teased and put the bags on the patio before sitting on the step with him. “You’ve been pushing yourself to o hard again.”
    “How do you know , smarty pants?” Stavros replied.
    “Because of the pain lines around your mouth . ” Amari touched his face. “You know , people take longer than a year to recoup from what you’ve been through.”
    “Most people don’t share their body with a tiger , either,” he commented.
    “Even he needs healing,” Amari pointed out. “But I came bearing gifts, ge t showered and changed.”
    “Why, maybe I like being sweaty and dirty .” H e smiled as she stood and held out her hand to help lever him upward.
    “Sweaty , dirty men do not get to share a picnic with me in the clearing where the spring flowers are blooming , ” s he said simply. ‘There’s potato salad in there.”
    ‘Well , then that’s enough incentive for me . ” Stavros grinned. “Picnic and a beautiful woman … W ho could say no to that ? ”
    “I thought you might say that, so I even stashed cake in the basket , ” Amari said. “Now chop - chop, Stavros , let ’ s get a move on. I’ll keep the motor running.”
    “Yes , ma’am . ” Stavros saluted and limped up the stairs.
    Spending the day in the middle of a meadow with Amari was definitely better than moping alone in the cabin. Maybe a day outdoors in the sun was just was he and his tiger needed.

Chapter Two
     
    Amari didn’t know what would happen when she moved t o the little small town of Hiko , Alaska. It was so outside what she knew from the city life in Boston , on a few occasions she wondered if she would survive. The cold bit into you and the winds howled. There was nothing to do but work and then go home and watch TV. The bars were not someplace to frequent , and it wasn’t as if she could go shopping unless s he made a trip to Anchorage. Her life seemed to be at a standstill, all because of what she did . She knew it was the right thing , b ut she was the one exiled just so she could survive.
    The only redeeming quality of late was spending time with Stavros. A t first it was to take care of him and save his life. Now it was for the pure pleasure of it . T he man was handsome and enigmatic. She had the flaw of falling for bad boys , but this time she didn’t think that was the case. Stavros had a caring , generous nature ― that along with a tiger sharing his body.
    The firs t time he showed her his second nature she thought a switch from reality flipped in her head , and she only got a buzzing sound in her ears. After all , who ever thought that she would see a man turn from a human to a tiger ? But when sanity won out , all that was left was pure amazement. Instead
