With Clayton now in his human form, Camden pushed her fears aside and lunged forward to check on him, but he was out cold. "Is he going to be okay?" Camden asked, looking up at Heather in disbelief. "Should be," Heather replied, her tone still casual. "Make sure that one is restrained," Alpha Adrian ordered pointing at Clayton. "Heather, get some clothes on her, then bring her tae my office," he continued, refering to Camden. Camden quickly went to grabbed the backpack with all their clothes and followed Heather through the drizzle to one of the cabins on the opposite side of the fire pit. "What are you going to do with them?" Camden asked, looking over her shoulder with concern as Beef picked up Matt's wolf once more and headed towards another cabin. "Keep 'em oot o' the rain for now," Heather replied before ushering Camden into the cabin. "Do ye need somethin

Camden regarded Alpha Adrian for a moment, her brow furrowed and her jaw clenched in defiance. "I have to respectfully disagree with that, Alpha Adrian. All I want is for things to be calm and peaceful, but for some reason, chaos always seems to find me at every opportunity. I can assure you that I'm not out here looking for ways to make my life more challenging. I came here to look for a way to make it easier. I'm hopeful that your father might have more information that could potentially assist me in figuring out this second mate situation. Now, I'd very much like to check on my mates if that's alright by you?" Her voice was brimming with authority and her tone held a sharp edge she hadn't intended for it to. Especially not when speaking to an Alpha. And even moreso, especially not an Alpha she needed help from.Alpha Adrian raised his eyebrows as she spoke. He certainly wasn't used to being on the receiving end of the tone she had used and contemplated his response for a moment. Sh

As Clayton stirred, Camden retreated, the terror from her earlier encounter with him racing to the fore front of her mind. She withdrew about two feet from the bed, watching him with fear and curiosity as she saw his eyes begin to flutter and open. Clayton looked disoriented as he scanned the unfamiliar surroundings with bleary eyes, trying to establish where he was, when he saw Camden, her gaze fixed on him as panic and apprehension filled her. She held her breath and her heart began to hammer in her chest. As soon as he locked eyes with her, Clayton immediately began a retreat of his own, shuffling backward across the bed, as if trying to get away from her. As if she were the one who was the danger here. In his urgency to put distance between the two of them, he fell off the bed with a loud thud on the wooden floor. His breathing was rapid and panicked and his eyes wide and wild.Camden was frozen in place, wanting to run, but seemingly glued to the spot. "You need to go, Cam! You h

Camden steadied her nerves before beginning, "Well, starting with the most immediate issue, your being feral, he said you shouldn't shift. Obviously, there were also lingering concerns about how you would behave in your human form, hence the handcuffs, but you seem to be okay. You are okay, right? No lingering urges to kill me?" she asked, half joking, half serious. "It's not funny, Cam. I was so dangerously close...." but he trailed off, refusing to complete his sentence. "I'm sorry," she apologized, realising that now wasn't the time for jokes and Clayton was right to be upset. "You're right, that wasn't funny. I guess I'm just trying to make light of it as a coping mechanism or something. I was really scared, Clayton," she murmured, looking at him and trying to make the connection between the man sitting beside her and the beast that was seconds from tearing her apart only hours ago. He nodded, acknowledging her explanation, but had nothing further to say on the matter.&n

A soft whine broke the silence and Camden poked her head up, glancing over the bed to see Matt. He was struggling as he regained consciousness. She hurried around the bed to his side, gently stroking his fur and offering words of comfort and support. Matt's groggy eyes opened, and it took him a moment to recognize her, but when he did, he nuzzled against her. She could see that he wanted to shift, but he needed a moment to regain his bearings. Camden reassured him and encouraged him to take his time, gently stroking his fur all the while.When he felt ready, he stood as Camden took a few steps back to give him space. He managed the shift back into his human form and immediately raced towards Camden, pulling her into a tight hug. "You're okay," he whispered into her ear, his relief evident. "I thought he was going to kill you." "So did I, but he didn't," Camden replied, her voice muffled against his chest as she gave him an awkward pat on his naked back. "What happened? Where are we?"

Clayton gave Camden another kiss on the top of her head before whispering, "Can I get up quick? I need to talk to Matt." She nodded, sitting up to allow him to move freely. He stood up, his gaze meeting Matt's, who gave him a cold stare. "You know, one of these days I'm going to get even with you," Matt said seriously as he sized Clayton up. "You've punched me, pinned me against a wall, and now you've thrown me against a tree in a very real attempt to kill me. I'm beginning to think you don't like me," Matt grumbled, his eyes narrowed as he glared at Clayton. Clayton couldn't help the small smile that escaped his lips. "Listen, I can't help it if you can't take a hint," he replied. Matt chuckled before Clayton added, "And before you forget, let me just remind you, you bit me!" "It was a love bite," Matt waved him off dismissively."You punched Matt? When did you do that?" he heard Camden's voice asking from the floor beside him. "The night you ran away," Matt re

Camden followed Heather out into the pouring rain and back to the cabin she'd been in earlier, where she had spoken to Alpha Adrian. The clouds hung low and oppressive in the sky as the rain continued to fall relentlessly. There was no storm. No thunder or lightning, just unending rain, which Camden found to be unusual, but she suspected this was simply Scottish weather for you.Heather jogged up the stairs with Camden on her heels, pulling the hood of her rain jacket off and giving herself a good shake beneath the awning before knocking on the door. "Come in!" she heard Alpha Adrian's voice from inside. Heather opened the door and stood in the doorway, holding it open and gesturing for Camden to come inside. As Camden entered she saw two men seated on the leather couches she had been admiring earlier. It was Alpha Adrian and what she assumed was his father. The man had the same dark hair, albeit greying at the temples with a few white hairs sprinkled throughout

Camden felt a deep disappointment descend upon her. She had obviously known that the ritual was not going to be sunshine and roses, but seeing Duncan's cool and serious demeanor regarding the situation filled her with fear and trepidation. "Why dinnae ye explain the situation for me, lass. Then I'll let ye know what I know. Hopefully, it helps ye" Duncan suggested, noticing the shift in Camden's expression to one of hopelessness. "Give me as much detail as ye can think tae. Even the slightest detail could be important," he explained, a stark contrast to his son's approach on the topic.Camden took a deep breath, gathering her strength before she began. "Well, I met my mate, Clayton, first. We were together for a while before there was... an incident. He drowned and, essentially, he must have been dead for at least some period of time before I managed to resuscitate him. Not long after that, I ran into Matt, and it turned out that he was my mate too. So, I'm assu

As the men sat, patiently waiting for Camden to begin her explanation, she took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her cheeks. She unzipped her rain jacket, wanting to be rid of its wet, restrictive presence. Clayton helped her peel it off as Matt looked on, desperate for her to start talking. Clayton took the jacket and hung it on a coatrack near the door, then returned to Camden's side, taking her hand once more. She took yet another deep breath, drawing in strength before she began."Well, first of all, I think it's important to let you know that, based on previous success, our odds are low," her voice was cold and matter-of-fact. "Low? How low?" Matt pressed. "Duncan, the previous Alpha here, says that during his time as Alpha, the ritual was carried out four times and it only worked once," she explained, trying to steel her emotions and just provide them with the facts. Something in Matt's demeanour changed, but Clayton urged her to press on. "What else did he say?" he asked,

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.

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

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

"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

"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
