CLAIMED BY DARKNESSUpdated at Aug 23, 2026, 07:01
"You can fight it all you want, Morgan, but denying the bond only prolongs your suffering. We are meant to bind you, whether your mortal mind accepts it or embraces it."
Morgan Thorne believed her most dangerous secret was buried in the mountain town where she hid. A marine biologist researching cryptic deep-sea phenomena, she learned to keep her distance from people, especially men. But when her underwater expedition uncovered something impossible, ancient, sentient, and starving, everything changed. Kael and Dominic emerged from the ocean depths, otherworldly beings locked in a connection to Morgan that defied logic and shattered her carefully constructed walls.
They claimed she was their anchor to humanity, their mate, their salvation. Morgan insisted she was just a woman trying to survive, not a supernatural vessel designed to ground immortal creatures. Yet every moment away from them burned like fire through her veins, every hour of resistance weakened her grip on sanity.
As a darker force hunted them all, one willing to destroy everything to sever the bond Morgan had to decide: surrender to a destiny she never chose, or risk losing not just the two men who had become everything to her, but her own humanity. For some bonds were meant to break you. Others were meant to remake you entirely. Which would Morgan become?
