Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 108: The Shift
Camden sat on the edge of her bed, her face buried in her hands, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Embarrassment and frustration washed over her as she replayed the impulsive kiss with Clayton in her mind. She had kissed him. Against her better judgment, and despite all the complications and challenges they were facing, she had kissed him. Her resolve was weakening, and it seemed that the mate bond had a hold on her that was stronger than her own will. She couldn't deny the longing and desire she still felt for him, but as far as she was concerned, he still needed to earn her forgiveness before she could give in to that longing and those desires.Clayton emerged from the room he shared with Matt, ready for the day ahead. He turned to Matt, who was still engrossed in the TV. "Has she come out yet?" Clayton asked, wondering where Camden was. "No, but I wish she would hurry. I'm starving!" Matt yelled out, hoping she would hear him as his impatience mounted. "Wait with her, I need to go a
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 109: The Bite
"Matt! What the fuck are you doing?!" Camden's voice echoed through the room, filled with a mixture of concern and frustration. She stood in the doorway, her weakened state apparent in her pale complexion and frail form. "Shift back! Now!" she commanded firmly, her eyes locked on Matt's. Still in his wolf form, Matt glanced at Clayton, then to Camden, then back to Clayton. Then he shifted closer to Clayton and bit his hand."Matt!" Camden yelled, dashing towards the scene, her movements impeded by the cumbersome moon boot. "Did you just bite me?!" Clayton asked in shocked disbelief as he inspected his bloody hand while Matt shifted back as per Camden's instructions. She inspected Clayton's hand, concern etched on her face. "Relax, it was a love bite," Matt chimed in with a sly grin as he nonchalantly headed to his room to retrieve some pants. He seemed completely unfazed by the intensity of the situation. Although the bite had broken the skin, the injuries appeared to be minor, and wi
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 110: The Breakfast Burritos
"You know, you really are a jerk to him sometimes," Camden said, her voice filled with a mixture of concern and reproach as she rinsed the blood from Clayton's hand."He knows exactly what to say to get under my skin," Clayton replied, annoyed to admit that Matt had any kind of hold over him. "I know, but you can't resort to violence every time he hurts your feelings, Clayton. You're a grown man," Camden admonished, her gaze focused on her task. Clayton sighed, feeling the weight of his actions as Camden ushered him over to the toilet so that he could sit while she tended to his hand.Eventually, he nodded, feeling the truth in her words. "I know," he said with a frown. "I feel like I'm just so angry all the time these days. Like I'm just waiting for something to rub me the wrong way so that I can explode. It's draining," he confessed, a sense of defeat weighing heavy on him. "We're going to have to figure that out too. Have you thought about seeing a doctor? You said Matt suggested it
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 111: The Last Stop
Camden relaxed as Clayton massaged her feet, only tickling her twice. "Okay, now you need to get dressed. Do you need any help?" he asked, his voice laced with hope. "I'm sure I can manage, thank you," she replied, giving him a knowing smile. "Alright," he sighed, "call me when you're done," he added as he headed out to the sitting room."What are you watching?" Clayton asked Matt as he took a seat on one of the couches. "I don't know. Some documentary on a bank heist. The options were very limited," he frowned, handing Clayton the remote. "You're welcome to look for something else," Matt added. Clayton surfed the channels for a minute before he heard Camden's muffled voice through her bedroom door. "Be right back," he said, handing Matt the remote back as he headed to Camden's room. "You done then?" Clayton asked as he peaked his head in. Camden nodded, dressed and perched on the edge of her bed, her hair pulled back in a braid. Clayton came over and lifted her up, carrying her to th
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 112: The Titanic
After a while, the flight announcements started, signaling that it was time to board. Camden's nerves began to flutter once again as she thought about the journey ahead and the Unbonding Ritual that awaited her. Truth be told, she was dreading it, but it felt like one of those necessary evils in life. The sooner it was over, the sooner things might go back to some semblance of normal. She wondered to herself what normal might look like now. So much had happened. So much had changed. It made her a little sad to think about it.Once on the plane, Camden settled into her seat. Her usual spot between Clayton and Matt in an attempt to keep some distance between the two of them in hopes that no bickering and arguing would break out. Clayton reached over and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "It's going to be okay," he whispered, obviously sensing her inner turmoil. Camden gave him a small, nervous smile. "I hope so," she whispered back, feeling anxiety and panic lingering on the edge of h
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 113: The Scottish Welcome
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Matt grinned and replied, "Aye, lassie, I reckon I can gie it a wee shot," attempting a Scottish brogue that elicited laughter from both Camden and Clayton. "Oh my God, Matt! You're really good at that," Camden enthused, clapping her hands in amusement. Matt couldn't help but smile, basking in the joy of seeing her happy.Relieved that they had made it through the airports without any issues regarding her forged documentation, Camden felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. Until the trip home, that is. But for now, she was happy to enjoy some time in the Scottish countryside as they waited for the full moon. She hoped that the newfound civility between Clayton and Matt would persist during their stay. It was a welcome change to not have to play referee between them and to be able to enjoy their company without constant bickering and arguing. There was tension, sure, but Matt seemed to understand that they were going ahead with the Unbonding Ritual
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 114: The Cold Car Ride
"Ullapool? Where's that?" Camden asked, her teeth still chattering as she rubbed her naked legs, trying to warm them up. "It's about four hours north of here," Clayton replied. "We're staying over there for a couple of nights." Camden nodded, looking out the window as the Uber pulled away from the airport, transporting her ever closer to her potential demise.Matt sighed, looking at Camden as she shivered uncontrollably. "Come here," he said as he rummaged through his pack. He pulled out a pair of sweatpants and handed them to her. She smiled appreciatively, accepting them gratefully. "Thank you," she mumbled through chattering teeth as she pulled them on over her shorts and hiked them up above her moon boot. She leaned closer to Matt, hungry for his warmth. The gesture took him by surprise. "Is this OK?" she asked, looking up at him through thick, dark eyelashes. "Just for a minute, so I can warm up," she added, not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable or mistake the situation for
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 115: The Fight
Clayton carried Camden up the stairs. They were smiling and chatting as Matt trailed behind them, lugging everyone's luggage up the stairs to the entrance of their accommodation. When they got inside, Clayton set Camden down on a couch in the sitting room where she reclined lazily. There was a big stone fireplace and the guys saw her eyeing it out hopefully. The two men peaked their heads through all the doors, exploring the space and getting an idea of the layout while Camden huddled on the couch, the cold beginning to bite at her once more.Camden was right, it certainly was quaint. The furnishings were far from modern and the TV in the sitting room almost looked out of place between the antique furniture and decor. The place was reasonably sized and seemed comfortable enough for their small party, and much to Matt's surprise, the suite did have running water. There was a downstairs suite available for guests with larger parties than theirs, but the homeowner had told Clayton that i

Matt let out a sigh, wanting to be done with the conversation now. "Just make sure you keep your end of the deal. I'm doing this for Cam... and for what we used to have," he said, his gaze drifting off momentarily as if lost in memories. "You know, I considered going with you, but I know how threatened you feel by me," Matt teased, trying to keep a straight face but unable to do so. Clayton scoffed and chuckled. "I might actually miss you, Matt. Not the part where you trailed after Cam like a lost puppy, or the way you'd watch her move, or the way your hands lingered on her a little too long..." Clayton went on, leaving Matt with a sheepish expression on his face. "But I'll miss you.""God, Clayton, I'm not going to die! Well, actually, I might if they ever find out that I knew about this and never said anything... But let's hope that doesn't happen. Just figure this shit out, okay? If I can help the two of you in any way, let me know, but something tells me this journey doesn't involv
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 248: The Cost of Silence
Instead of leading him to the lounge, as Clayton had anticipated, he led him back to the kitchen. The change in setting made the conversation seem more serious. More threatening.Matt took a seat, followed shortly by Clayton, who sat directly opposite him. Matt didn't beat around the bush. "You know I know," he stated. It wasn't a question. Clayton shrugged, seemingly unfazed. Matt sighed before continuing, "Where are you guys going?" he asked, his tone firm and serious. "We don't know yet. We still need to decide. I only just found out about all of this," Clayton replied, feeling a bit annoyed. It was pretty unreasonable of Matt to expect them to already have a plan when he had literally only found out all this life-changing stuff a few minutes ago. He felt like he needed a minute to reflect and to think it all through."Clayton, I'm not fucking around when I say this... If you hurt her, I will fucking end you. We might not be mates anymore, but I still feel responsible for her and p
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 247: The Nap
Camden couldn't help the tiny sob that escaped her lips. To think that Clayton had wondered his whole life whether his parents had loved him broke her heart. Her pregnancy hormones were kicking into overdrive and she could feel that she would start to spiral soon if she didn't regain her focus, so she pressed on, hoping to lighten the situation with a little levity. "Also," she went on, wiping a tear from her eye, "I figured while I was getting the inside scoop on your family history, I'd ask about your real name," she explained. Clayton perked up, very interested to hear what she was about to reveal. "Well, I didn't ask about your first name. I don't know... I felt weird about it. I felt like too much would change if I had to start calling you something else now on top of all this other stuff and I know you as Clayton and it—" she was rambling on when Clayton cut her off. "What is it?" he asked, unable to disguise his curiosity. "Wolfe," she revealed with the tiniest hint of a smile.
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 246: The Mothers' Love
Clayton couldn't help the smile that spread across his features. Despite everything Camden was telling him, he couldn't help but feel joy in this one, singular moment.Camden was also wearing a small smile, happy to see his happiness, but simultaneously worried about what the future held for them all."I knew it was a boy," Clayton whispered softly, gazing into Camden's eyes which looked back at him with uncertainty. She nodded. "She said we'll have a girl too. But the girl won't have this... gene, or whatever you call it," Camden replied, sounding a little relieved. Clayton's smile grew even wider and Camden's heart all but burst as she saw his eyes twinkle with excitement at the prospect. "How lucky are we?" he asked, his voice low but filled with anticipation and love. "Well, that has yet to be determined because there are so many things we need to take into consideration here, Clayton," Camden replied, grounding Clayton back in reality. "Like what?" he asked, the momentary high be
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 245: The Last of His Kind
Camden followed, trailing behind him as he settled back down at the kitchen table once more. His anger and frustration were all but palpable and Camden felt guilty for having brushed him off and ignored him just now. "How much did you hear?" she asked as she settled back down in her seat. "It doesn't matter. Start from the beginning," he instructed, taking a deep breath as he tried to relax. Camden figured there was no point in trying to sugarcoat things or beat around the bush. It was his truth and he deserved to know. "I told you, I had an... experience. I don't know if it was a vision, or if it was a dream, or if it was something that really happened, just on a different plane of existence. To be honest, I don't want to get too philosophical about it, because it makes me uncomfortable. But I know it happened, and I know it was real because Matt just proved it," Camden explained, fiddling with the sleeve of her wet hoodie. Clayton said nothing, only watching her, waiting for her t
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 244: The Plea
"Sorry... I'm sorry," Clayton immediately apologized, seeing how his reaction had startled Camden. He quickly got up and went to the sink, grabbing a cloth to stop the beer from dripping down onto her lap. "I'm so sorry, babe," he continued to apologize as he soaked up the spilled beer from the table, "I was frustrated. You guys aren't telling me what's going on," he tried to explain, but he knew it was a poor excuse."I need to make a call," Matt announced as he headed out of the kitchen. Light lightening, Camden was up, chasing after him desperately while she left Clayton to mop up his spilled beer and mope as he continued to be ignored."Stop!" she cried, tugging at Matt's arm as she caught up with him in the lounge. "Camden, please... this is hard enough as it is..." he said in a small voice. It was then that she noticed that his eyes were glistening as if he were on the verge of tears. Her anger and panic began to dissipate as he stood in front of her, unmoving."Please..." Camde
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 243: The Lupi Noctis
"So, when are we leaving?" Matt asked as he stripped off his soaked sweater and pulled a beer out of the fridge. "Want one?" he offered Clayton. "It's not even 6am!" Clayton exclaimed in disbelief. "It's been a rough night," Matt replied with a shrug as he snapped the can open. Clayton regarded him for a moment then relented. "Okay, fine," he agreed, gesturing for a beer from the fridge. Matt smiled and handed him one before taking a long drink of his own.All the while, Camden sat at the kitchen table, fiddling with a pamphlet about the Standing Stones. "You alright?" Clayton asked, resting his hand on her shoulder as he stood behind her. "I dunno..." she admitted, continuing to toy with the pamphlet. "You're soaked, why don't you go take a shower or at least get changed into some dry clothes?" Clayton suggested, brushing a drenched lock of hair behind her ear.She sighed, but made no effort to move, still pressing and folding the paper in front of her. "Baby?" Clayton murmured, brus
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 242: The Broken Bond
"Matt?" Camden whispered, shaking him lightly. He groaned and furrowed his brow, as if annoyed by the intrusion. "Matt?" she whispered again, but suddenly she heard Clayton's voice ringing through the air. "Camden?"She looked up, searching the perimeter of the circle for Clayton. Spotting him, her heart skipped a beat. He stood beside the circle, torn between rushing in and waiting for some kind of confirmation that the ritual was over.Camden wasted no time; she rushed to him as fast as her legs could carry her. Leaping over the salt circle, she jumped into his arms. He caught her eagerly, but his face suddenly fell as he exclaimed, "Babe! The circle!" worry etching his features. "It's fine," she said. "She broke it. There," Camden pointed behind them to a clear break in the salt before smothering him in kisses."I was so worried about you," Clayton murmured, holding her cheeks and looking into her eyes before pulling her to him in a fierce hug. "I'm here. I'm fine," she assured him
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 241: The Moon Goddess (Part 2)
Camden sat quietly, contemplating everything she had just learned about her mate and what the implications were for her. She drained her glass of wine with a series of long, deep gulps, only to find that it had been refilled as soon as she moved her hand away from her lips. She let out a small incredulous laugh. "Okay, so quick recap here. Clayton is from a bloodline that dates back to the beginning days of werewolves, he can shift into a werewolf, in the traditional half-man, half-wolf sense, my son will also have this ability, and the whole world will want to kill them for this? Did I miss anything?" she asked, pursing her lips as she waited for Selene's response."Yes. The bloodline cannot die. The end of the Lupi Noctis bloodline will be the beginning of the end for all werewolves," Selene added gravely, her gaze piercing through the dim light of the stone circle. "Their existence is intricately tied to the balance of the natural and supernatural world. Without them, the balance w
