The bear hits the car, feeling like a freight train hit us, lifting my side of the car off the ground.

The car flips, tumbling down the incline beside the road and landing upside down. From above us, I hear the growl of more than one bear.

“Jordan, are you okay?” Jace asks.

“Yeah, you?” I ask, smelling blood. I’m not sure if it’s his or mine.

“I think so, I bashed my head against the window, but I’m okay,” he says. So, the blood is most likely his.

“We need to get out of this car. I’m not going to take on a group of bears upside down and pinned in,” I say, working to push my door open. “You’re not taking on a group of bears at all, Jordan. That’s a death wish,” he says, but I can hearthem crashing through the brush to get to us. Jace won’t like it, but I’m his Alpha, it’s my job to protect him.

I unhook my seat belt, careful not to let myself fall on my head and I pull myself out of the car.

“Jordan, dammit, wait for me!” Jace says.
