Black Bears of Independence: Dylan and Caleb

Past and Present

With the war against Pickens and his mercenary army over, the Black Bears of Independence are slowly starting to rebuild their lives again. After losing so many of their friends and family they focus on building again and repairing what was lost.

Dylan Birnbaum is a legendary sphynx shifter and Beta of the Hurst Family Clan. Life has been challenging for him, and the war against Pickens was no different. With his black bear shifter mate, Caleb Richburg by his side though, he knows he can get through it, as they have everything else. Together.

A tragic accident brings Dylan's past to greet them in the most horrific of ways. His best friends die in a terrible car accident, leaving behind his biological daughter for whom he donated sperm. With her parents gone, she was sent to a foster home while the courts worked out where she would live. When Dylan finds out she is being abused he has her moved to a shifter home to keep her safe. That is until he makes the hard decision to raise her as his own, something he had never planned for and something he had never told Caleb.

Now that the past is their present, will the two be able to overcome this as they had everything else? Be the parents Olivia needs them to be? Or will it tear them apart forever?
