Kept

He was thrown out on the night of the mating run. He never expected to be caught—or claimed.
Closeted human Eli has spent years hiding who he is from his abusive family. When he’s finally kicked out on the most dangerous night of the year, he’s just trying to find somewhere to survive until dawn.

The house looks empty. Dark windows. No car.
He never means to break into an alpha wolf’s den.
Never means to get caught red-handed by Kade.
Older. Dangerous. The kind of dominant wolf who takes one look at a terrified human in his territory and thinks mine.
Kade should throw him out. Should be furious that some desperate human broke into his home.
Instead, he’s amused. Intrigued. And his wolf has already decided—this scared boy who stumbled into his lair? He’s keeping him.
Eli thinks he’s broken. Too damaged for anyone to want.
But Kade’s not letting his uninvited guest leave. Not tonight.
Maybe not ever.
Because sometimes fate doesn’t knock—sometimes it slips through a window.

KEPT is a high-heat knotty possessive first-time age-gap romance with a HEA and daddy/boy vibes. It’s part of the Mating Run series, but can be read as a spicy standalone.
