Awakened By Fire
I didn’t know I was a myth until they came for me. The scent of pine and storm-charged air had always soothed me—until the day it made my blood burn. Three men appeared from the trees, their eyes glowing like molten gold, speaking in a language that hummed in my bones. They called me *Sorya*, their lost mate. But I’m not one of them. I’m human. At least… I thought I was. Now, something deep inside me is waking up—and it remembers them.The wind screamed through the pines, carrying a scent that made my skull split open—smoke, iron, and something wilder, like lightning caught in a jar. I stumbled back from the well, clutching my head as visions tore through me: golden eyes, scaled wings, a mountain throne drenched in fire.
Then I saw them.
Three men emerged from the tree line, moving like predators who’d already claimed the land. Their coats were torn, their boots caked with frost, but their gaze—locked on me—burned with recognition. "She’s here," one murmured, voice like gravel and thunder. "Our Sorya. After all this time."
"You’re mistaken," I said, backing away. "I’m not who you think I am."
The tallest stepped forward, his hand outstretched. "You smell of ash and stars. Your heart beats our name. We’ve waited lifetimes for you."
My skin rippled, heat rising beneath it like a caged beast waking. And then—the worst part—I wanted to go with them.
But the village bell began to ring. Distant shouts. Torches flared in the square.
They’d seen the strangers. And they were coming with chains.
.Sehlence.

Caged Instincts
I don’t remember my name before this place. I only know the scent of antiseptic, the burn of silver in the air, and the silence where my memories should be. They broke us piece by piece—our strength, our pride, our will to shift. But when *he* was dragged into the cell beside mine, something primal roared back to life. A deep, ancient pull I can’t ignore. He’s a black panther like me. And somehow, impossibly… he feels like home. The humans call it a breeding program. I call it torture. But if he’s my true mate, then they’ve already lost. Because nothing destroys a caged beast faster than giving it something worth dying for.
Frozen Empire
I never meant to catch his attention. I was just following the code—a whisper in the system, a ghost in the machine. But when I found the worm buried deep in Carter Industries’ core server, it wasn’t just a security flaw. It was a key. And now Rhys Carter, the man who rules this empire like a king on ice, is staring at me like I’m the only person in the world who can thaw him. I don’t know what that means. I don’t even know how to feel desire—my mind doesn’t work that way. But something in his voice when he said my name… it made my pulse do something unfamiliar.
Frozen Lines
I never thought a line change could feel like a death sentence. Paired with Rhys Callahan—the golden boy of the NHL, all sunshine and easy grins—I should’ve felt lucky. But there’s something behind his smile, in the way he flinches at sudden noise, how his laughter never reaches his eyes. And me? I’m the opposite—silent, inked, dragging my ghosts through every shift. We’re fire and ice, and yet… when we’re alone on the ice, hearts pounding, breath fogging the air between us, I feel something shift. Something dangerous. This isn’t just about winning games anymore. It’s about surviving each other—and what we’re starting to feel.
