Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 122: The Sketches
Clayton tried to give her the space she seemed to want. He didn't pull her into his arms and try to shield her from the pain of her memories, even though he desperately wanted to. His real goal was just to be there for her, so that she knew that she wasn't alone. So instead, he resigned himself to the occasional supportive touch, just to remind her that he was nearby if she needed him. It didn't take long before her ragged breathing and hopeless sobs had calmed, replaced by the sound of slow, steady breaths of sleep.Clayton was consumed by his own thoughts though. Why had Camden asked him if he had ever killed a man? Was she implying that she had? Was she looking for common ground? He was more desperate now than ever to know what had happened to her. If she had killed someone, what were the circumstances? Was it self-defense? Was it murder? Had she been assaulted? His mind swirled with possibilities that did nothing but torment him and keep him awake as he ran through all the potenti

She lay there quietly, unable to get back to sleep, her mind swirling with thoughts as she listened to Clayton's rhythmic breathing. She wondered if she should tell him about Jamie. Then she wondered whether she should tell him she had been through his sketchbook. Now that she'd done it, it felt like a huge violation of his privacy. Like she'd read his diary or something. She felt guilty, but figured she needed to be honest and tell him. She was already keeping enough secrets and the guilt was already intolerable.Her mind kept rolling back to the images, specifically the one of her pregnant. She remembered the way he'd captured her smile. Was that how she really looked when she smiled? When was the last time she felt as happy as she looked in that picture? She figured it had probably been a while.As she was lost in thought, she felt Clayton beginning to stir. Unaware that she was already wide awake, he smiled and gently pulled her closer to him, trying not to wake her as he relished

Camden came to, confused and disoriented. When she opened her eyes, Clayton was staring at her, his eyes brimming with concern. "Thank fuck!" he swore, relief evident in his voice. "Matt, she's waking up!" he called out to the other room. Camden felt disoriented and struggled to recall what had just happened. "Are you alright? What happened?" Clayton bombarded her with questions. "I'm... I'm okay," she whispered, still trying to make sense of what had just happened. The dream about the white wolf lingered in her mind, but she couldn't quite grasp its significance at the moment. Just then Matt came into her room, his features also etched with concern. "Finally! We nearly called an ambulance, Cam! Are you okay?" he blurted, panic still lingering in his voice.'Don't stop,' Clayton's words reverberated in her head. Jamie's words. Her world threatened to crumble once again as her breath got caught in her throat and her stomach lurched. She scrambled to sit up, breathing hard and heavy as

Camden emerged from the shower, feeling refreshed and energized. She quickly got dressed in comfortable jeans and a soft hoodie, the warmest clothes she had with her. As she entered the sitting room, she found Clayton peacefully asleep on one of the couches, and Matt sitting on another, engrossed in a TV show and munching on chips. It seemed like they had settled in quite well here. "What are you watching?" Camden asked, curious about the show on the screen. "You should watch, I think you'd like it," Matt said, shifting up and making space for her to join him. She sat down next to him, immediately drawn into the captivating storyline. The episode reached a thrilling cliffhanger, leaving Camden shouting at the TV in frustration. "How can it end like that?! How can you kill off the main character already?!" Her passionate outburst amused Matt, who chuckled at her reaction."Want to watch another episode?" Matt suggested with a playful smile. "Definitely! You can't leave me on a cliffhan

Camden sat on the steps, wrapped in her thoughts and emotions, not realizing how long she had been outside. A fine drizzle started to fall and Camden groaned, resting her head on her knees. "All okay here?" she heard Clayton's tired and raspy voice from behind her. She nearly jumped out of her skin and wondered how he had managed to open the door without her hearing. Was she really that lost in thought? "Yeah, I'm fine," she answered as she turned back to face him, flustered by his sudden appearance. "You aren't thinking of running off somewhere, right?" he asked her warily. "No?" Camden responded, puzzled by the question. "Where would I go?" She wondered why he'd think she wanted to leave, though a part of her understood his concern given her history. "Beats me, Cam. I just don't want you running off into danger. We don't know this place," Clayton replied with concern. He was standing in the doorway with a blanket clutched around his shoulders. "Shit, it's cold!" he grumbled to himse

Camden sighed deeply, her breath leaving a misty trail in the cold air. "I want forever too," she whispered, feeling the weight of her emotions and uncertainties. "But before I can even think of forever, I need to get through this Unbonding Ritual," she added, her voice filled with resignation. "Please don't pressure me now, Clayton. I can't give you answers or make commitments while I can't even get my thoughts straight. My mind is a mess," she frowned, feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of her feelings. "I'm with you now, and I want you, but if I'm alone with Matt for 5 minutes, then I want him. I hate this. I always thought the mate bond was such a special thing when I was a kid. I couldn't wait to find my mate, to know that there was someone out there perfect for you and you were destined to be together forever. It sounded like a fairytale to a young, naive little girl. But now I just wish I had my own free will to choose how I want to feel, rather than being compelled by some

Clayton closed the door, a shiver still lingering from the cold outside. Matt looked at him with concern. "She doing okay?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine worry. "She's struggling," Clayton replied with a heavy sigh. "I'm counting the days for this to all be over," Matt admitted somberly, his heart weighed down by the turmoil surrounding them. Clayton nodded in understanding. "I think we all are," he said, acknowledging that they were all trapped in this complicated web of entangled relationships. "This has been a nightmare for all of us," Clayton added, the weariness evident in his voice. He wanted nothing more than to see Camden with that old carefree smile she used to wear. He felt like it was a distant memory now. A myth from a time before.As they stood in the living room, a silence settled between them, heavy with unspoken feelings. Finally, Clayton broke the silence, making an attempt at a truce, which he knew would make Camden happy. "Are you okay?" he asked Matt, thou

Camden emerged from her room wearing a dry hoodie and socks. She only had the one pair of jeans with her though, so she was still wearing those in spite of them being a bit damp from the rain. She felt wholly unprepared for the cold and wet Scottish weather. "You guys ready?" she asked, eager to get going, her mind focused on the promise of warmer clothes. "Yup," Matt replied, standing up and stretching. "Ready," Clayton answered, pulling his jacket on. "So where are we going?" Camden asked, curious about their where they were headed. "The Fox and Ferryman," Clayton said, opening the door and gesturing for her to step through. As she stepped out, Clayton pulled her hood up over her head to shield her from the persistent drizzle. "The Fox and Ferryman?" she repeated, intrigued by the name. She liked foxes, so the name caught her interest. "Yeah. It's not far from here. Only a 10 minute walk or so. There should be a clothing store somewhere in the vicinity, so we'll make a stop as soon

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
