Years ago, empath Elijah Long made a bad decision, and he is still paying for it. He’s kept hidden from his abusive werewolf ex for years, but when he wakes in a dark room, cuffed to a wall, he knows he’s out of luck. Elora, his psychic sister, will come for him, he just has to endure long enough to give her a chance to find him. Captain Kol Jaecar of Rockshade’s Paranormal Investigations Department detests slow times at work, so when Elora wants time off to search for her brother, Kol treats it as if it’s a real case and starts an investigation. What he assumed was a brother not picking up when his sister called turns out to be something else. Elijah experiences people’s emotions so strongly, it prohibits him from living a normal life. Spending time in the city is out of the question, yet it’s where Elora takes him once she finds him. Elijah does his best to keep his distance, especially from the growling man Elora brought to his rescue. Elijah will never make the mistake of getting close to a shifter again. The moment Kol smells Elijah, he knows he’s his mate, but how to get close to someone who doesn’t want to be near you? The man who abused Elijah is still on the loose, and Kol calls in the entire team to hunt him down. But how are they to keep Elijah safe when he can’t be around people? And how will Kol stay sane if he can’t touch his mate?

“Don’t fear me.” His voice came out much hoarser than he’d planned. He stretched out half on top on Elijah like he had when he’d been in his other form and buried his nose in the crook of his neck.


Elijah was stiff as a board, and he didn’t speak. Kol didn’t either. He laid there and breathed him in. “You realize the cat and I are the same, right? This is how we’ve been all night.”


Eli cleared his throat. “It’s not the same.”


Kol licked his skin, but instead of getting an eww, a more intense wave of fear spread in the room, and he sighed. “Apparently not. Do you want breakfast? Coffee? Tea?”


Elijah was quiet for several seconds. “Erm…” He turned his head a little and Kol raised his head so they could have eye contact. “You don’t want to fuck me when you’re a cat.”


For a few seconds, Kol was stunned. “Honey, I do, but not in the shape of my cat. I am the same. You can’t read my emotions when I’m shifted, right? But they’re the same.”
