Luna hadn't been asleep long when the bell rang.

Not the curfew bell. Something different. Deeper. More resonant.

It echoed through the building, pulling her from uneasy dreams.

Nova sat up in bed. "Moon Circle."

"What?"

"The ceremony. It's tonight. I completely forgot." Nova scrambled out of bed and started pulling on clothes. "We have to go. Now. It's mandatory for all students."

Luna's body felt heavy. Exhausted from training and stress. "Can't we skip it?"

"No. Absolutely not. Missing Moon Circle means automatic detention. And detention here is brutal."

Luna groaned but dragged herself out of bed. She dressed quickly, pulling on jeans and a hoodie.

Her mark tingled. Warm beneath her sleeve.

They left the dorm and joined the stream of students heading downstairs. Everyone moved in silence. Some looked excited. Others looked terrified.

"What exactly happens at Moon Circle?" Luna asked.

"Ritual. Transformation practice. The full moon amplifies our wolf side. Makes it easier to shift.

  • Luna Eclipse   Friendships and Rivalries

    Luna made it back to the dorm without incident.The three first-years who'd run from her must have spread the word. Students stepped aside when she passed. Conversations stopped. Eyes followed her movement.By the time she reached her room, her hands were shaking.Nova looked up from her desk. "Oh thank god. I heard what happened. Are you okay?""Define okay.""Fair point." Nova stood. "Come on. Sit. Tell me everything."Luna collapsed onto her bed. She told Nova about training. About Ryder's harsh methods. About Darius showing up. About her mark glowing so bright it scared other students.When she finished, Nova was quiet for a long moment."That's a lot for day one.""Tell me about it.""Okay. So. First thing you need to understand. What happened with those girls? That's going to follow you. Word travels fast here. By dinner, everyone will know your mark glows bright enough to scare people.""Is that bad?""Depends. For some students, it'll make you intimidating. Untouchable. For ot

  • Luna Eclipse   First Training & Tensions

    Orientation lasted two hours.Luna sat in the Great Hall with the other first years while Headmaster Sterling explained rules, schedules, and expectations.Don't shift without permission.Don't leave campus without authorization.Don't enter the forbidden forest.Don't challenge students above your rank.The list went on.Luna's head spun trying to remember everything.Nova sat beside her, taking notes frantically. "This is insane. How are we supposed to remember all this?""I have no idea."Sterling dismissed them at ten. "First years report to the training grounds. Your physical assessment begins in fifteen minutes. Don't be late."Students filed out of the Great Hall. Luna followed the crowd toward the back of the building.The training grounds were outside. A massive open field surrounded by forest. Equipment scattered across the grass. Obstacle courses. Climbing walls. Fighting rings marked with white chalk.And professors. Lots of professors. All of them watching as students gat

  • Luna Eclipse   Arrival at Silverwood

    The carriage stopped.Luna had been staring at the window, watching shadows move between the trees, when the wheels quit turning and everything went still.Too still.The breathing sounds from the forest had stopped. The rustling had ceased. Even the horses had gone quiet."We're here," Professor Thorne said.She opened the carriage door and stepped out. Professor Ashwood followed.Luna grabbed her duffel bag and climbed down after them.The first thing she noticed was the smell.Pine and earth and something else. Something that made her mark tingle. Magic maybe. Or power. She couldn't tell the difference yet.The second thing she noticed was the building.Castle didn't quite cover it.Silverwood Academy rose from the forest like something out of a dream. Or a nightmare. Stone towers stretched toward the sky. Gothic arches framed massive wooden doors. Windows glowed with warm light from within.But it wasn't welcoming.It was imposing. Intimidating. Built to make you feel small."Holy

  • Luna Eclipse    Farewell to Normal

    Luna stood in her bedroom staring at an empty duffel bag.What do you pack when you're leaving your entire life behind?Her father had said not much. They'd provide everything at Silverwood. But she couldn't just leave with nothing. She couldn't walk away from sixteen years with empty hands.She grabbed a hoodie from her closet. Miguel's hoodie, actually. He'd left it here months ago and she'd never given it back. It still smelled like him. Like his cologne and laundry detergent and something else that was just Miguel.She folded it carefully and placed it in the bag.A knock at the door."Luna? Can I come in?" Her mother's voice. Soft. Broken."Yeah."The door opened. Her mother looked like she'd aged ten years in the last hour. Her eyes were red. Her hands twisted together."I brought you some things. Basics. Toiletries. A few changes of clothes."She set a small pile on the bed.Luna picked up a framed photo from her nightstand. Her and Miguel at homecoming. Both of them smiling. B

  • Luna Eclipse   The Mark Appears

    The cake sat in the center of the kitchen table, sixteen candles flickering in the afternoon light.Luna stared at the flames. Something felt off. Wrong. The air tasted sharp. Metallic."Make a wish, mija," her mother said from across the table.Luna leaned forward. The candles seemed too bright. She could hear them. Actually hear them. The tiny hiss and crackle of wax melting. The whisper of flame consuming oxygen.When had she started hearing things like that?She closed her eyes and blew.The room erupted in cheers. Her little brother Diego whooped. Her father clapped. Miguel squeezed her shoulder from where he stood behind her chair, and several of her friends from school laughed and whistled.The touch burned.Luna flinched. Just slightly. But Miguel noticed."You okay?" he whispered.She forced a smile and looked up at him. "Yeah. Just startled me."Lie. She wasn't startled. His hand on her shoulder felt like heat. Like pressure. Like too much.Her mother started cutting the cak
