Cohen by Emilia Hartley

Ashe was different. Broken. That’s what her pack had called her… She couldn’t shift after all. And with magic coursing through her veins she was an outcast. Years of pain, anger, and sadness had passed before she finally accepted her wicked life. That is until her cards revealed a truth that terrified her to the bone. Ashe and Cohen were bound together, one couldn’t live without the other. Two souls as one. That was the truth her cards had revealed…

Cohen’s animal was cursed. A darkness lingered in his eyes – the telltale signs that a monster lurked within. He had moved away from his pack to protect them. To protect his brothers and more importantly, to protect her. The only time he had known calmness was when he was with her. Simply being in the presence of Ashe had brought a temporary peace to the demon inside him. Despite his intentions to protect her, being away from her for all those years only made his animal worse. Only made him worse.

Cohen longed to see her face and hear her soft voice again. But even more than that, he wanted to watch her as she moved, to feel her skin against his, and to hear her screaming his name – a lust that only she could sate. That’s why when Ashe had called him back to Stonefall he knew he couldn’t run any longer. Perhaps now it was time to face the truth that he ignored for all those years.
