I don’t know when I slept but when I woke up my throat still burns from Tyson’s shouting. Christ! I was the one that did something stupid, why was he so concerned?

His hands are on me, gripping my shoulders, shaking me harder than he probably realizes. His voice is raw, angry, terrified… something deeper that I don’t understand.

“You are not permitted to die on me, Naya!”

The words won’t stop echoing in my head.

Now the room is quiet, too quiet.

The door creaks open, and Aiden walks in. His gaz

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 27 - The Breach

    The BreechThe attack comes just after sunrise.No warning, no negotiation. Just blood in motion.The rogue wolves hit the eastern border like they’ve done it before, like they’ve studied our patterns, our rhythms, our weaknesses. The alarm howls through the compound, sharp enough to shake the bones of every guard on duty.I’m already moving before anyone tells me to, but I’m not moving with them, not this time, this time, I hang back, out of sight.Out of order. I can feel him immediately.Tyson His presence snaps through the bond like a warning flare.Stay inside the perimeter.His voice doesn’t even need words anymore. It presses straight into my mind, tight and absolute.I almost roll my eyes out loud.Of course he still thinks the safest place for me is behind him, out of reach, out of danger, out of everything that actually matters.I grip the edge of the wall, watching the chaos unfold ahead. I’m not a woman who allows her mate to go into battle while she sits back and twiddle

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 26 - How to Roast an Oracle

    Tyson refuses to leave the bed the next morning. I finally kick him out of the bed because he refuses to, we have sex in so many positions, some of them I never would believe it was possible.I am now too sore for any more sex. But I am sore and happy, satisfied and glowing. That glow you can only get from mind-blowing sex.Over the next days, I stop fighting sleep. Because sleep doesn’t feel like escape anymore. It feels like falling into something warm.Safe.Shared.The house changes too in subtle ways. The tension in the pack shifts, less pressure.Tyson is always near, not suffocating. Just… present. And I love it because, for the first time in a long time, I don’t feel lonely.Like a constant gravity I’ve stopped resisting. And every time I look at him, something inside me settles. Something deep and unfamiliar:Peace.There are moments, long stretches of time where words aren’t necessary at all. Just looks. Just proximity. Just understanding.And when we are alone, the bond be

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 25 - More Than Sex

    I grab Tyson’s shirt and bend my head as if to kiss him, but end up breathing into him, my mouth just a breath from his. And then something in Tyson shifts. He closes his eyes for a second and when he opens them, I nearly collapse from the weight of his emotions.His hand moves first, closing gently around my wrist.Not pulling, just holding. Like he’s asking without words.My breath catches.“Tyson…” I whisper softly. His name feels different now.His gaze doesn’t leave mine as he leans in slightly, his voice dropping lower than before.“Say it again,” he says.I blink. “Say what?”“My name,” he replies quietly. “Like that.”My chest tightens. Because I understand exactly what he means.I say it again. “Tyson.”Something in his expression breaks, just slightly. Like that single word undid something he’s been holding together for far too long.And then he moves. Not rushed, not uncontrolled.Just certain.One arm slides behind my back, the other under my knees, lifting me effortlessly

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 24 - Barely Contained

    The room stays quiet for a moment after Tyson speaks, not because the meeting is still happening, but because nobody wants to be the first to step into whatever this is.Finally, Connor stands.“Thank you,” he says dryly. “That’s my cue to leave before I say something that gets me killed.”Aiden follows with a tired exhale, already halfway to the door.“I’ll… go patrol something that doesn’t involve emotional warfare,” he mutters.And then it’s just me and Tyson. The door shuts behind them.The sound feels too final.Silence stretches between us, heavy in a way that makes my skin feel aware of every inch of space. I didn’t look at him immediately.I should.But I don’t.Instead, I stare at the edge of the table, my fingers slowly curling against it.“I can’t believe they said that,” I mutter finally.Tyson doesn’t respond right away, when he does, his voice is lower than usual.“They’re not wrong.”That makes me freeze. Slowly, I lift my head. He’s still standing where he was, one han

    Two days later, the meeting room feels tighter than usual.Not physically, something else.Strategic maps are spread across the long table, markings of rogue activity scattered like warnings no one can fully decode yet. The discussion moves fast, guards speaking over each other, theories colliding, frustration building.I sit forward slightly, trying to focus.“We don’t need to wait for them to strike again,” I say, cutting in. “We should find where they’re hiding. If we move first, we take them by surprise.”A few heads turn toward me.I push on. “We know their pattern isn’t stable. They regroup. They move. If we track disruptions”They’re not moving normally,” a voice interrupts.It’s one of the senior strategists, Connor. He leans back in his chair, arms crossed.“They’re using concealment magic,” he says. “Layered. Deep. You don’t just track that.”My brows knit. “So we do nothing?”“That’s not what I said,” he replies.But I can tell he’s already thinking several steps ahead of m

    The silence that follows feels like it has weight. Like it’s pressing down on my chest, making it harder to breathe.I don’t realize I’ve stepped back until my shoulder brushes against something solid.Warm and alive. Tyson He doesn’t say anything at first, but I feel it, the shift in him. The way

    The door to the Moonhaven packhouse groans shut behind us, and the sound feels final.Like a lock clicking into place.Tyson doesn’t speak. He doesn’t look at me. He just walks, and I follow, because what else am I supposed to do after what Aiden said in there? Wolves don’t date. They claim. My le

    Aiden’s fingers pause on the glass. For a long moment he doesn’t speak. Just the sound of ice shifting, the bottle sweating on the table between us.When he finally looks up, his eyes aren’t sharp like before. They’re tired. Old.“You really want to know?” he asks. His voice is lower now, almost a
