Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 234: The Name
"Obviously, I wanna hear about it! I hope it's worse than my story so that I can laugh at you rather than cringing at myself," she groaned with embarrassment.Matt went on to tell her all about his first kiss and how the girl he had been kissing had sneezed in his face the second their lips made contact. Their stories got progressively more embarrassing as they opened up to one another without prompting, feeling lighter as they shared parts of themselves they had never dared to share with anyone else. The time passed quickly as their laughter filled the air, reverberating off the stones. The pair felt more connected to one another than ever before and were enjoying the sense of closeness and familiarity and camaraderie they held here at the base of the towering standing stones."I don't know how I'm ever going to look at you with a straight face again," Camden said with a chuckle as she untied her unruly braided pigtails. "Well, just remembe
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 235: The Gentle Touch
Without missing a beat, Matt shifted the conversation once more, not wanting her to feel pressured into telling him more when she was clearly uncomfortable about it. He did want to leave the door open to the conversation though, in case she was looking for help but struggling to ask. "Well, do you want to hear about my first time then? Or do you maybe want to talk about something else? Otherwise, we can talk about this more if you want?" he offered, wanting to give her the power to determine how she wanted the conversation to go. "Tell me about Motocross," she requested, glad to change the subject onto a lighter note and something that would take the spotlight off of her for the moment.Matt gave her a small smile and obliged, letting her know all about his obsession with the sport. Under normal circumstances she likely would have fallen asleep if someone else had been rattling off all the details to her, but this was Matt, and he always managed to captivate her
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 236: The Kool-Aid
She knew she should stop this before it went any further. She should push him away or at the very least turn her cheek away from him. But she couldn't. She was rooted to the spot, her eyes locked on his as much as his were on hers.His fingers trailed from her cheek, up until they were winding through her hair, pulling her hood back to reveal her signature wild waves, which were only enhanced by the persistent drizzle. Then his fingers found their way back to her cheek, trailing down now as they cradled her neck. She found her gaze shifting from his eyes down to his lips as her heart pumped liquid fire through her veins. She wanted him, NEEDED him, now more than ever before. The air around them seemed to crackle with electricity and the wind suddenly picked up, as if reflecting the brewing storm within them.Slowly, Matt leaned in, his movements confident yet reserved. Like a magnet, she realised her own movements were mirroring his as she leaned up toward him, their lips only a breat
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 237: The Rain
As the night wore on, Clayton's frustration began to give way to a deeper, more profound sense of helplessness. He realized that this was more than just a physical separation; it was a trial that tested the very limits of his trust and love. He had to believe that Camden was strong enough to face whatever lay ahead, and that their love was strong enough to endure this ultimate test.He thought about their journey, the highs and lows, the moments of pure bliss, and the depths of despair. He remembered the day they had met, as if fate had thrown her at him out there in the woods. He couldn't even remember what he'd been doing there that day, so far from the cabin. But when he'd seen her, sobbing helplessly on the forest floor, he knew he had to help her. He had to protect her. She'd given his life meaning, and he was certain that their souls were intertwined on some level. The thought anchored him, giving him strength to hold on and have faith that everything would be okay.As midnight
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 238: The Deep Sleep
"Ready?" Matt asked as he pulled two small familiar vials from his pocket. "Okay..." Camden whispered her agreement in a small voice as Matt handed her the tiny bottle."Cheers!" he said, holding his bottle out towards her once he'd unscrewed the lid. "Cheers," she replied unenthusiastically, clinking her bottle against his. Hesitantly, they both drank the contents, pulling faces of distaste once they were done. "God, that was disgusting," Camden complained, wiping her lips as if that might rid her of the lingering aftertaste. "Yours too?" Matt asked, wiping his tongue with the sleeve of his sweater. "So what now?" she asked, looking up again. The sky seemed to give her peace while the landscape seemed to induce fear, so she tried to keep her gaze upward. "I guess we wait until it kicks in," Matt murmured.Suddenly, the rain stopped, and Matt couldn't help but feel relieved. "Well, at least that's one less thing to stress about," he said to himself, settling down beside Camden, who ha
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 239: The Monster
Camden awoke suddenly, realizing that she had fallen asleep in the stone circle. She noted, with surprise, that she no longer felt sleepy and, instead, actually felt quite invigorated. She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep, but it felt like days, judging from how well rested she felt. She hadn't been sleeping well of recent, so this was a welcome surprise.She looked around for Matt, wondering whether the ritual was over now and the mate bond was broken, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Matt!" she called out, pulling herself to her feet and making her way around the circle calling for him. "MATT!?" she yelled again, more urgently this time. There was still no response.She realized that she was looking out over the horizon again, meaning that everything outside the circle was no longer veiled in mist and shadows. However, she had circled the entire perimeter and had yet to see any sign of Matt, or Clayton for that matter. She tried to keep calm and piece the situation together,
Tangled in Moonlight Chapter 240: The Moon Goddess (Part 1)
"Selene?" Camden whispered, recognizing the name, but unable to place it. "The Moon Goddess..." Selene clarified, seeing that Camden was struggling. Camden scoffed, about to object to the absurdity of the suggestion, then she stopped herself and stared at the woman with narrowed eyes, unable to puzzle together any other possible reason for a beautiful woman with a huge white wolf to be hanging out with her in the middle of the Calanais Standing Stones on a random Saturday night."I kinda expected you to look... I dunno... Older...." Camden admitted with a nervous chuckle. "Well, I can make myself look however I want. Lucky me," the woman revealed with a giggle. "But enough about me, let's talk about you, Camden. I don't often make mistakes, but in your case I certainly did, and I feel that I owe you an apology," Selene explained with a serious expression.Camden's eyes widened in disbelief at the revelation. A Goddess was standing there in front of her, apologizing. It was beyond the

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

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
