MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate Chapter 57 - The Prison That Smiles
NayaI stare at the bracelet wrapped around my wrist until my vision blurs. It doesn’t even look dangerous. Just a simple silver band etched with dark symbols that pulse faintly beneath the light.Yet it has stolen everything.My magic, my connection to the world around me. The tiny current of power I’ve carried inside me since I was old enough to understand what I was.Gone.Tom watches me quietly from the other side of the room.“I’m sorry.”The words snap something inside me. “You liar!”I yank at the bracelet again, digging my fingernails beneath the metal until my skin burns.It doesn’t budge, not even a little. “It won’t come off.”“I know.”“You tricked me!”“I protected everyone.”I laugh—a bitter, humorless sound.“Protected who?”“You.”“From what?”“Your magic.”“My magic is mine!”“And right now…” His voice remains infuriatingly calm. “…it’s unstable.”“My powers have never hurt anyone!”“They will.”“They won’t! And you have no right to decide what’s right for me!” “They
MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate Chapter 56 - A Prison With Open Doors
NayaI stare at the photograph until my vision begins to blur. The woman smiling back at me is my mother.There is no mistaking her, the same warm eyes.The same soft smile.The same tiny gap between her front teeth that she always tries to hide whenever she laughs.And standing beside her Is the man claiming to be my father.I should throw the picture back at him.I should call him a liar again.Instead, my fingers tighten around the worn edges as a thousand memories crash through my mind.My mother never once speaks about my father.Not once.Whenever I ask, she simply tells me that some stories belong in the past. I always think it hurts too much to remember.Now…I don’t know what to believe. I slowly place the photograph back on the table.My voice is quiet.“If…” The word catches in my throat. “If you’re really my father…”His eyes soften immediately.“…then prove it.”“I intend to.”“Then start by doing the right thing.” I fold my arms across my chest. “Let me go.”Silence.His
MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate Chapter 55 - An Impossible Claim
Naya“My father?”The words leave my mouth in little more than a whisper. The man inclines his head, as though we’re discussing something ordinary instead of turning my entire world upside down.“Yes.”I stare at him, waiting for him to laugh. Waiting for someone to tell me this is another one of their twisted games.No one does. Instead, the room settles into an unbearable silence.Then I laugh. It’s short, sharp and disbelieving.“You’ve completely lost your mind.”The corners of his mouth lift slightly. “I was expecting that reaction.”“I don’t care what you were expecting.” My voice hardens. “My father is dead.”“No.” He says it calmly. “Your mother simply allowed you to believe that.”My pulse pounds inside my ears.“No.” I shake my head. “She wouldn’t lie to me.”“She didn’t.”His answer catches me off guard. “She omitted the truth.”“That’s still a lie.”His expression softens. “Sometimes people hide the truth because they believe it’s the only way to protect the people they lo
MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate Chapter 54 - The Man Who Calls Me Daughter
NayaThe bakery box is carried into another SUV. Not with me. Deliberately, everything is deliberate. They aren’t abandoning evidence. They’re planting it. I try to use my power, but nothing. What did they do to me after they knocked me out?A bitter laugh almost escapes me.Tyson… please don’t trust this place. It’s exactly what they want.The men move quickly. Orders are shouted, vehicles are rearranged.Then I hear it. The unmistakable chopping sound of helicopter blades.My stomach drops. So this is the real plan. The motel is never the destination. It’s only a transfer point. One final misdirection before I disappear completely.Someone grabs my arm, another man wraps thick black cloth over my eyes. Darkness swallows me instantly.“No!”My voice comes out muffled beneath the cloth over my mouth.The ropes around my wrists are removed. Hope flares, only to die seconds later. New restraints replace them. Metal cuffs, much tighter, much stronger. There’s no space this time, no loos
MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate Chapter 53 - The Betrayal of Trust
NayaThe morning begins like every other morning. Warm, peaceful and safe. If someone had told me that by sunset my entire world would be turned upside down, I would have laughed at them.I would have kissed Tyson goodbye anyway. I would have walked out of MoonHaven with the same smile on my face. I would have trusted the same person.Maybe that’s what hurts the most. Not that I was taken. But that I walked willingly into the trap.I balance the pink bakery box carefully in my hands as I leave the bakery. The sweet scent of freshly baked vanilla cake escapes through the tiny ventilation holes.Mrs. Hilda smiles from the doorway. “Tell the academy headmaster I added extra cupcakes for the children.”I laugh. “You spoil them.”“They deserve it.”“So do you.”She waves me away before I can say anything else. I shake my head, smiling to myself as I continue down the familiar path leading toward the academy. The morning breeze brushes against my face.Everything feels… normal.The bond bet
MOONHAVEN CHRONICLES: The Captive mate Chapter 52 - When Fate Refuses to Speak
TysonFor a moment, I simply stare at her. The words refuse to make sense.“My… what?”The Oracle doesn’t repeat herself. She merely watches me with that same infuriating calm that has followed her for as long as I’ve known her.“Your mate is reconciling with her family. That much I can tell you.”A bitter laugh escapes my lips. “My mate doesn’t have a family.” The words come out harsher than I intend. “Her mother, who was the only family member she had is dead.”Silence.The Oracle neither agrees nor disagrees. I take another step toward her.“The only family Naya ever talks about is her mother.”My chest tightens.“Unless…” A horrifying thought slams into me. I shake my head before it can fully form.“No.”Connor looks at me in confusion while Aiden’s brows knit together.I force the words out anyway.“Unless you’re trying to tell me she’s dead.”The room falls into a suffocating silence. Even the flames dancing around the chamber seem to grow still.The Oracle sighs. A weary, almos

His fingers brush my wrist and everything Stops.It’s like a shock runs through me. Not painful. Just… overwhelming. My breath catches, my body goes still, and for a split second, the world narrows down to that single point of contact.What the hell was that?He pulls back like he’s been burned. Hi

I think I fainted again I regain consciousness at the same time I feel a hand brush mine, but when I open my eyes, Alpha is standing a little far from me, looking as if he is ready to cut off my neck.He frowns. “You really fainted. You were not pretending. I could taste your fear and confusion.”

I woke up in a bed, surrounded by three big men. They are all huge. I pretend as if I am still unconscious.A voice booms beside me. “Open your eyes, spy. We can tell you’re awake.”I open my eyes to glare at the speaker. A tall blond man who looks about thirty-four. “You don’t need to be so loud,

I nearly escape, my things packed and my key in my hand, just as I am about to lock the door, that’s when I hear footsteps.If I were living a normal life, I would have thought it was probably my neighbors returning from a latenight party. But no, nothing about my life has been normal ever since m
