![]() “Can most Arrows do that? Just shut down emotion after such a vicious shock?” “I can feel it, the ice crawling over the fire.” An edge of a growl in her tone. Selenka’s eyes were half-gold, half-brown as she examined him. ![]() But for today, for this time, he was functional again. His core hadn’t been stable for a long time. “I’m stabilizing,” he told her, though-at the deepest level-it was a lie. The deep red flame that was his compulsion toward Selenka continued to burn in his gut, potent and visceral and unlike anything he’d ever before felt, but he could think again. He leaned into the brutal training he’d undergone as a child and used it to assist his mate by slowly, methodically rebuilding the control mechanisms in his mind. Ethan’s mate was an alpha wolf and right now, she was in the middle of an operation. He understood that mates backed one another-they didn’t smash foundations but built them. He’d watched Aden with Zaira, Vasic with Ivy Jane, Abbot with Jaya. “Or you’ll push my wolf to violence.”Įthan didn’t want to stifle the heat that scalded him, but even in the fog, he’d learned things. “Maintain.” It was a growled order from his mate. Should anyone try to get between him and Selenka, he’d use his power without compunction. As he did in the primal being that was a shadow in his mind, its teeth and claws bared. It hurt but the pain was one in which he gloried. ETHAN DIDN’T KNOW what was happening, didn’t understand the alien heat in his veins. ![]()
