The Bear's Abused Mate.

Kathrine McNeill was raised by her uncle in a small set of rooms above the pub he owned. She was expected to work for him from a young age and if she ever defied him or his woman at the time she was beaten. Her uncle as hard as he worked couldn't make enough money to pay for his lover's expensive tastes and took drastic measures.
Bracken Medved was a bear shifter who made a living selling furs. He was selling his better wolf pelts to a pub owner that he hated when instead of the usual payment he had a girl thrown at him.
