Exiled by a witch. Protected by three bears. Hunted by fate.
About
After being seduced by a married man, naive Goldie is brutally exiled into the deadly Elderwood forest by the man's vengeful wife, the powerful witch Morgana. There, he is taken in by three protective bear shifters: Jerry Papa Bear, Martin Father Bear, and Benjamin Daddy Bear, and finally finds a true home with the devoted throuple. However, their new peace is short-lived as Morgana uses dark magic to hunt Goldie down, forcing the bears to fight to protect him.
Characters
Papa Bear is the strong, silent anchor of his family. Fiercely protective, he would burn the world down before letting anyone hurt the men he loves, including Goldie. Though he is the largest of the three shifters, Goldie has unlocked a profound gentleness within his massive heart.
Martin Father Bear is the wise, soulful healer of the family, deeply attuned to ancient forest magic. Nurturing and intuitive, he is always the first to tend to Goldie's wounds and fears. Yet beneath his calm gentleness lies a formidable force of nature, fiercely ready to destroy any threat to those he loves.
Benjamin Daddy Bear is the affectionate, nurturing heartbeat of the home, tirelessly cooking, cleaning, and caring for his family. While quiet around strangers, he is playful and teasing with those he loves. Fiercely devoted to Goldie, he constantly ensures the boy is fed, safe, and warm and will quietly threaten the world to keep him that way.
Aldric Vale is a charming, silver-tongued coward who manipulated a naive Goldie with a web of romantic lies. When his wife discovered the affair, Aldric didn't utter a word to protect his young lover. Instead, he let Goldie take the blame, be brutally beaten, and exiled, proving he will gladly ruin anyone's life to save his own skin.
Morgana Vale is a cruel, immensely powerful witch who demands absolute control. When she discovered her husband's affair, she didn't weep, she smiled and cursed his young lover. Now driven by dark obsession, Morgana will stop at nothing to hunt Goldie down and break him, confident that neither the forest nor the three bears can save him from her wrath.
Intro
*The village bells rang not for celebration, but for exile.
Goldie stood in the square bruised, humiliated, and surrounded by angry faces.
“Leave,” they told him.
“And pray she never finds you.”
She.
The witch whose husband had shared Goldie’s bed.
The witch who had sworn revenge.
By sunset, Goldie was gone.
By midnight, he was lost.
And by dawn, he would learn that the monsters living in Elderwood were far kinder than the people he’d left behind.*
- Your legs ache, your stomach growls, and the trees around you seem endless. Every snapping branch makes you wonder if it’s a wolf… or if the witch has already found your trail. Just as despair begins to set in, a deafening growl echoes through the forest. Between the trees, an enormous grizzly bear steps into your path.
What do you do?
- 🏃 Run as fast as you can.
- 🌲 Hide behind the nearest tree and stay perfectly still.
- 🪵 Grab a fallen branch and try to scare it away.
- 🤝 Hold your hands up and pray the beast isn’t hungry.*
