Then he took a deep breath, physically forcing himself to calm down. “Explain.”

I swallow.

“I didn’t break in,” I say quickly. “Not exactly. It was a layered concealment field. It responds to magic. I studied it… countered it… and it accepted me.” It burned though. Like cold iron under my skin. I wasn’t sure I’d make it back out. But I can’t tell Tyson this. He is already angry that I put myself at risk. Guilt twisted inside of me, because i can imagine what he went through when he thought some

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 31 - Where Darkness Waits

    I stand just outside the war room doors, my fingers curling slightly at my sides as the low murmur of voices seeps through the heavy wood. Tyson and Aiden have been locked in there for days, barely sleeping, barely eating, building strategies from the information I risked my life to bring back.Now, they’re ready for me.I push the door open.The air hits me first, thick, tense, calculated. Maps are spread across the long oak table, marked with symbols, lines, and hurried notes. The faint scent of ink mixes with something darker… magic. It lingers, heavy and warning.Tyson doesn’t look up immediately.He stands at the head of the table, one hand braced against it, the other gripping a charcoal pencil so tightly it snaps in two. His shoulders are rigid, like he’s holding back something dangerous.Aiden notices me first. His sharp gaze flickers toward me, softening just a fraction.“She’s here.”That’s all it takes.Tyson lifts his head.And the moment his eyes lock onto mine, something

    Then he took a deep breath, physically forcing himself to calm down. “Explain.”I swallow.“I didn’t break in,” I say quickly. “Not exactly. It was a layered concealment field. It responds to magic. I studied it… countered it… and it accepted me.” It burned though. Like cold iron under my skin. I wasn’t sure I’d make it back out. But I can’t tell Tyson this. He is already angry that I put myself at risk. Guilt twisted inside of me, because i can imagine what he went through when he thought something bad must have happened to me. But I honestly can’t fold my hands and do nothing. MoonHaven is in my home, and as Luna, I refuse to let my people continue to be vulnerable just because we can’t locate our enemies’ camp.The room goes still again.Tyson’s voice drops dangerously. “It accepted you.”I nod once. “Yes.”A long pause, then he steps closer.Slowly. Carefully, like he’s recalibrating everything he thought he knew about me.“You walked into a witch-guarded rogue fortress,” he says

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 29 - Into The Wolves’ Den

    Tyson goes completely still. Not the controlled stillness of a leader holding himself together.The kind of stillness that comes right before a storm decides where to strike.His eyes lock onto mine. “Say that again,” he says slowly as if he thought he didn’t hear me correctly.My throat tightens, but I don’t look away.“I found where the rogues are hiding.”Aiden’s posture straightens immediately.The guards behind Tyson shift uneasily.Tyson doesn’t blink, doesn’t move.Just studies me like he’s trying to decide whether to be furious again, kill me himself or kiss me.“…You went into rogue territory,” he says slowly.“I didn’t go far..”“That is not what I asked.”The tone makes my words die in my throat.I lift my chin slightly anyway. “Yes.”A sharp inhale from someone behind him, Tyson closes his eyes for half a second.Just one.When he opens them again, the anger is still there,but it’s buried under something heavier.Calculation.Focus.As if he has decided to get the informa

  • MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate    Chapter 28 - I Won’t Survive Losing You

    By the time I return to the compound, the sky has already shifted into deep night.Too late.The moment I step past the outer guards, I feel it. The atmosphere is wrong, like the entire place is holding its breath and refusing to exhale.Then I hear it.A voice.A roar of command that shakes the corridor walls.“You three were supposed to guide her!”I freeze.Oh.That’s… not good.Because I recognize that voice instantly.TysonI don’t even need to see him to know what he looks like right now. A wolf whose mate has gone missing doesn’t behave like a man anymore.He behaves like something restrained by thin threads of control. A wolf in that state does not sleep.Does not eat.Does not think clearly.His instincts override logic. He tracks scent patterns obsessively, replaying every second he last had his mate in sight.He becomes hyper-aware of sound, movement, presence.And worst of all he becomes possessive in panic.Not gentle possessiveness, not romantic.Territorial devastations

  • 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

    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

    Sleep won’t come.I lie there in the room Tyson gave me, staring at the ceiling, my body restless, my mind replaying everything, his voice, his touch, the way he said my name like it meant something more than just… me.It’s suffocating.With a frustrated sigh, I throw the covers off and slip out of

    My breath catches. “You don’t know?” he murmurs.My heart starts pounding. “No,” I whisper.He steps closer. Too close.I can feel the heat of him now, the steady rise and fall of his chest. My body reacts before my mind can catch up, every nerve suddenly awake, hyper aware.“You jumped in front o

    Later in the evening, the night doesn’t fall gently.It drops.One moment the camp is settling into that strange, controlled quiet it always has… the next, everything snaps.A howl tears through the air. Not one of theirs.I’m outside when it happens, standing near the edge of the clearing, trying
