Matched to the Hunter: 3

He guards a frozen tomb. She unearths the past. An ancient protocol just decided they are each other's future.Xenobiologist Kyndra Sol prefers the silence of the dead to the demands of the living. She deals in logic, data, and ancient history-not relationships. But when she uncovers a mysterious door deep within the glacial ruins of Kryos, her curiosity triggers a dormant "Matchmaker Protocol," plunging her into a deadly, shifting labyrinth and straight into the territory of a savage predator.Xudod is the last Vulkari Guardian, a king without a kingdom who has spent seventy years in solitary vigil protecting a weapon that could destroy the galaxy. He is built for ice, violence, and isolation. He is not built for the fragile human woman who stumbles into his sanctum-or the roaring "Instabond" that instantly claims her as his mate.With the labyrinth's defenses activated and ruthless Draken hunters tunneling toward them, Xudod must protect Kyndra from the killing cold and the enemies at their heels. But the greatest danger might be the heat rising between them. To unlock the labyrinth's final defense, they must abandon logic and fuse their minds and bodies, surrendering to a bond that demands everything.She was looking for artifacts. He was waiting to die. Together, they might just save the galaxy.
