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?

“Maybe, wouldn’t be the first time someone accused me of being so.”


Kol’s eyes were yellow, his teeth still too big for his mouth, but he took a deep breath and nodded at Eli. “If you want to see him, you have to do it now because a transfer team is on their way.”


Eli stood, a knot the size of a football lodged in his gut. “Okay, let’s go.”


Kol bit his lips to force his teeth back to normal size. He shook his hands to rid them of claws, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t get his eyes to shift back. Elijah squeezed his arm. “It’s okay. Give me two minutes.”


“I’ll kill him if he says anything I don’t like.”


Elijah snorted. “Then it’s a miracle he’s still alive. Most of what he says are things no one likes.”


With a deep breath, Kol opened the interrogation room. Varg was cuffed to the table, and the room was warded so no magic could be used. “Varg.” He nodded and allowed Elijah to enter.
