Ashlyn

It took me hours before I could even make myself walk to his building. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking the whole way.

Glassglow. His apartment. The door read me as I approached, the blue strip sliding over my body like it knew I didn’t belong here. Still, it let me in.

Empty.

The silence slammed harder than his words had. The counters glowed, the glass windows tinted, the whole place alive with his tech, but him? Gone.

I almost turned around, ready to collapse in the hall, when the lock hissed and the door slid open behind me.

Krav.

He stopped when he saw me. His jaw worked, his eyes cutting straight through me, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe.

“We need to talk,” I said, my voice breaking halfway through.

He shut the door, slow, calm. Then he leaned on it, arms folded. “Contrary to popular belief, Ashlyn, a man doesn’t wish to know the details of his cheating partner.”

The words gutted me. “I’m sorry.”

His eyes locked on mine, cold, sharp. “Sorry doesn’t make it

  • How to Catch a Mate   Chapter 85

    Ashlyn The chamber dimmed as power pooled. Sheetal pressed forward, massive body looming over Mira’s wolf. Her breath washed hot, her eyes blazing. I call it, Sheetal intoned, the Honshu’s voice echoing like thunder. The merge. Wolf and shifter, joined in equal halves. Neither dominant, neither lost. Balance bound by the Honshu. The air burned. Sparks snapped across the stone, the weight of old magic searing through. Mira’s wolf bowed her head. I accept. The chamber cracked open. Light tore through, slamming into Mira’s wolf, into her human self where she lay unconscious on the cot. Her body convulsed, skin glowing, fur and flesh twisting together. Her screams filled the room, raw, sharp, but not broken. Her wolf’s howl wove through them, two voices becoming one. The light flared bright, then snapped out. Mira lay still. Then she opened her eyes. Amber and brown. Wolf and girl. Both staring out. She sat up slow, breathing ragged. She looked at me. Only it wasnt j

  • How to Catch a Mate   Chapter 84

    Ashyln Mira was still out cold when I carried her into the side chamber. I laid her on the cot, her hair spilling across the pillow, chest rising fast and uneven. Her wolf pressed so close to the surface I could almost see it, amber bleeding through her eyelids, claws twitching at her fingertips even in sleep. Sheetal paced inside me, restless. She’s slipping again. If we don’t handle it now, the wolf will finish what it started. I clenched my fists. “Then we handle it.” I stripped down, dropped to the floor, and let Sheetal tear through. My bones cracked, skin ripping as fur pushed through. The shift dragged me to my knees, then forward onto claws. The Honshu filled the chamber — massive, black, eyes burning orange. My wolf’s breath steamed in the cold air, her claws gouging the stone. Mira stirred. Her body jerked once, then again, and then her wolf burst out of her skin with a guttural snarl. The chamber shook with it. Amber eyes flared, her body morphing fast, fur bu

  • How to Catch a Mate   Chapter 83

    Ashlyn Morning in the Den was restless. The air felt thick and stuffy as the wolves moved through the halls, everyone whispering about the murder Haden had gone to handle in Panther City. My muscles ached from the night run, but Sheetal prowled inside me, sharp and restless.That’s when I saw her.Mira.She was pacing near the sparring ring, her eyes burning too bright, claws slipping through her skin before she forced them back. Her leg — the one everyone called a miracle carried her too smoothly, too perfectly.Because it wasn’t a miracle. It was her wolf. Something about the wolf rubbed me the wrong way.Her wolf had healed it when she was too weak to do it herself. And instead of giving control back, it had stayed close. Too close.'She’s slipping,' Sheetal hissed. 'Her wolf isn’t letting go. That leg isn’t hers,' It’s the wolf’s. 'I know. And if we don’t subdue her, she’s going to lose herself completely.'I clenched my jaw. The Alpha had let it slide, called it survival. But

    Ashlyn By the time Chase and I staggered back into the Den, the sun had already burned high enough to sting my eyes. My body was raw, muscles aching, claws cracked from the run, but the ache inside hadn’t dulled. Not one bit.Haden was waiting.He stood by the main hall doors with two Sentinels at his back, their uniforms sharp, their expressions grim. His arms folded tight across his chest, his jaw cut sharp enough to draw blood. The moment I saw him, I knew something was wrong.“Another death,” he said flatly, not wasting a breath on greetings. “We need to have a call with Gordon, then pack a bag. We’re heading back to Panther City for a couple of days.”I stopped dead. My wolf bristled. The words didn’t hit like orders; they hit like a chain.And then he looked at me.“I’m going to leave you in charge.”I blinked, the words cracking through my chest. “Wait. What?”He didn’t flinch. His eyes didn’t soften. “You’ll hold here. I’ll take the Sentinels and handle Panther City.”My stom

    Ashlyn The shower scalded, steam filling the small Den bathroom until I could barely see my own reflection. I stood there longer than I needed to, scrubbing my skin raw, as if hot water could peel away the memories burned into me.It didn’t.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Krav. His mouth pressed hard against mine, the way his hand had locked at my jaw, the way his chest had trembled when he told me he wanted me but couldn’t forgive me. And then him leaving, his heat ripped away like he’d never been there.The ache stayed sharp, deeper than skin, deeper than muscle. It was in my ribs, in my blood, dragging through every breath.By the time I stepped out, hair dripping down my back, Chase was waiting. He shouldn’t have been. His skin was pale, his chest still tight from the wound, the bandages stained, but he stood anyway. His wolf pushed restless against his skin, eyes bright, stubborn.“You ready?” he asked. His voice came out rough, but steady.I nodded too fast. “Yeah.”The tru

  • How to Catch a Mate   Chapter 80

    KravThe stench of the tunnels always found a way into my throat.Rot, oil, damp stone. Rat work. Panthers liked to claim they had control of these underground veins, but truth was, once you let rodents dig, they never stopped. The walls smelled with mildew, the pipes hummed low, and tonight there was a gap where there shouldn’t be one.Cordone crouched near it, his hands brushing the jagged edge of stone. “This isn’t a collapse,” he muttered, voice low. “Something pulled this open. From the outside. My guess it was the rodents.”I narrowed my eyes. The breach wasn’t big, no more than three feet across, but it was enough. Enough to slip something in. Or out. The stone was split clean, not worn. Deliberate.This was the much needed reprieve I was thinking about getting when I found out Ashlyn was leaving. Ellan stood with his arms folded, gaze steady on the crack. He wasn’t rattled. Ellan never was. His height gave him presence, broad shoulders stretched under his dark jacket. His ski
