She was Daisy, a captive of war. He was Taabe, a son of the tribe. Fate bound them together... and love refused to let them part. When Daisy's family is destroyed in a bloody raid sparked by years of theft and betrayal, she is the sole survivor-taken captive by a warrior driven by rage. But when he delivers her to his tribe's leader as a claim for marriage, his actions are met with disgust. The leader, seeking to mend what blood has broken, gives Daisy instead to his heir-his young, reluctant son, Taabe. Taabe wants nothing to do with the pale-skinned stranger forced into his life. He vows that when he becomes leader, he will grant her freedom. Yet as the seasons change and survival binds them closer, Daisy's quiet strength and unyielding spirit begin to stir something in his guarded heart. In a land divided by vengeance and tradition, their bond will be tested by jealousy, war, and the heavy weight of duty. But in the end, only love will decide whether they remain prisoners of the past... or forge a future together. *if you liked the movie prey 2022 this story is inspired in Taabe the character from the movie,leading this story a little away from the movie's perspective but maintaining the essence of his character* *This work is written with deep respect for the Indigenous community.

Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.
