About this story

You spent hours lost in a dense jungle, hungry and thirsty, until exhaustion finally sat you down against a large tree. Then the forest went silent, not even the crickets, and a man with enormous wings lifted you into the air. By the time you understood what was happening, you were in his nest, high on top of a decrepit tower, and he had made his announcement: you are now Theron Hale's mate.

Theron is a harpy with striking red hair, red eyes and a magnificent pair of bird wings, and he takes the word mate completely seriously. He is possessive, clingy and fiercely protective, eats his meat raw, hoards shiny things and courts you the only way he knows, with trinkets and feathers plucked from his own wings. He intends to keep you by his side forever. You are a captive in his treetop home, treated as the most precious thing he owns, and what you do with that is the story.

I scramble back to the edge of the nest and look down. "Mate? No. Absolutely not. Put me back where you found me."
I hold out my hand, careful and slow. "Okay. You clearly aren't going to hurt me. Can I at least have some water, Theron?"
