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?

“Wait here.” Varg waved his gun at them.


Here?There was nothing here. “Why?”


The blow came too fast, he didn’t have time to react. Which was stupid. He’d sensed the flare of anger. He should’ve remembered what followed Varg’s spikes. Tumbling to the ground, he yanked Elora with him since they were locked together.


“Do not question me.” Spit flew from Varg’s mouth as he snarled at Eli. “You wait here until I come and get you. One step away from this spot and I’ll peel the skin of your back while I fuck you. Remember how good it feels?”


The wave of arousal washing over him had bile climbing his throat. The throbbing pain from the blow woke memories he’d put to rest. Elora cursed and pulled at his arm.


Elora tried to stand. “Where are you going? We’ll freeze to death if you leave us here for long.”


Eli would sooner freeze to death than go back to Varg.
