Luna Rising Forty
I open my eyes again to find myself in a different place, a different room. Only this isn't my room. It seems more like a dressing room; clothes hang, and makeup is scattered everywhere. In front of me was a large mirror; I rose, seeing my reflection. My face has been painted with makeup, not too heavy, just enough to see my natural look. My hair was let down into beautiful curls and decorated with flowers. I see myself wearing a lovely wedding dress, a simple dress with a long sleeve lace illusion off the shoulder, revealing my cleavage."What the hell is going on?" I whisper, shocked and confused. I remembered waking up seeing my parents together and Dominic taking me to school, then we kissed...then here I am as a bride.A soft knock had me flinch, looking back to find my mother dressed in a lovely silk satin midnight blue petite gown. Her makeup was light, and her hair was down as well. She entered the room looking like a goddess."Look at you," she gasps, and her eyes start to wa
Luna Rising Forty One
Castle Luna de Argent - RealityI huddled myself, facing away from anyone who had approached me. After Ingrid and the other queens left the room with a wailing, Bibi wanted to stay longer. She's so cute it makes me giggle. After the queens left, a girl with pink hair and a boy with blue fur; who looked identical to her entered my room along with a man wearing a blindfold. Behind them was another girl who didn't look the part of the group. There is a large dog by her side and a giant. Those two got me scared. It almost made me want to run, but I bet they would chase after me once I left.After staying with me for a long time, I learned their names; Saye and Arlo are twins, and Jippis is their older brother. Camila is the normal-looking girl, Kaze is the large dog, and Takkar is the giant. I was initially scared of them, but when Kaze approached me as he changed his size to that of a puppy and flashed his cute puppy eyes, I couldn't help but hug him. I got to know this group of people,
Luna Rising Forty Two
Alternate RealityThe sounds of a kettle that had been recently singing with high-pressure steam had me battered my eyes at it. I reach towards it and turn off the heat."What? Where am I now?"Confused and unaware that I was in another unfamiliar place. Looking down, I have a casual long-sleeve, leggings, and an apron.I look around the kitchen, standing in front of the stove. The kitchen's interior was hues of light colors of cream and grey, giving that soothed feeling. I opened the white cabinet and found matching blue and white plates nearly stacked, along with some crystal glass cups.I stepped out of the kitchen and entered the family room. Everything is so modern and black and white, from white couches to a black glass coffee table. I explore this complex; a balcony is next to the living room to see the whole city. I advance towards and slide the glass door with a gust of wind in my face. I grip the rails and look down. We are about fifty levels up, and I see tiny cars and peop
Luna Rising Forty Three
I don't ever recall this memory. Is this ripple only showing a part of the memory I've been missing as it shows something new? I remembered that forest. I remembered every route and secret passage. I thought I had forgotten all about it, but the memories remain.I remembered everything.The farmhouse, Camila, and everyone living in their joyful life and our times hunting down ferals. Although they weren't as cheerful and perfect, I feel somewhat at home in my life with the Blue Moon pack and Dominic.The confusing part is, why am I here? This place and this life seem perfect for someone who fought with demons. Before, it felt like someone was messing with my mind and alternating it to this ideal world, but somehow I remembered those important to me and where they lay.Inside my heart, where it has always been since the beginning.That will never change.I mean, Leah and I, best friends? That is total bullshit.I would rather be friends with a rat than someone like her. Just the though

"Dominic, where is the scar?" I ask and frown.He was drying his hair with a spare towel and stopped to look around his body. "What scar?""Right here," I step forward to him and point his right shoulder above his chest. "There. You had a bullet wound when you got shot by that poacher."Dominic was nine when it happened. He was mistaken for an animal when I made him wolf ears from one of my private arts and craft. We played hide and seek, and because he had the ears, a poacher had mistaken and shot him. When he realized that it was a boy, he went into shock. His parents panicked and had the pack doctor pull the bullet out from him. Luckily, Dominic was out of the woods, but he sincerely apologized and decided never to hunt again as for poacher."I don't have a scar. My body is wound-free," he chuckles, and I pinch my brows together. "Let me go change first. You go on ahead to my office, and I'll be there shortly."When he returned, I didn't want to believe that the scar could just dis
Luna Rising Forty Five
Real World - In the Forest of Castle Luna de ArgentNick's warm embrace made my heart flutter like crazy. I thought I would never get the chance to be close to his body and heart again. But I can hear his beating heart thumping fast like a drum.I giggle."Why are you giggling there?" Nick pulls us apart to make me look like I've gone crazy."Nothing!" I launch back at him and lay my head to rest on his chest, wrapping my arm tight around his waist. "I just love to hear your heart.""Silly girl," he brushed my hair back to give me a light tickle on my neck. I giggled as I went back to cuddling him, wishing this was a dream.It's real. Nick is real, and he is himself. My Nick is back, and that is all matters.Nick then let out a low growl. I can hear and feel his chest vibrating. I look up and watch his eyes glow bright gold."Nick? What's wrong?" Worried that something is wrong."Lippy," his voice was raspy and deep with intention. "Get behind me.""What?" I furrow my brows, confused.
Luna Rising Forty Six
Alternate World "No!" I want to hit something, but my hands are tied. "Lippy! Wake up!" I shouted at the magical projector. "Wake up!" I wiggle and struggle to unleash myself from these vines, but I'm useless without my powers. "Shit! My original body is about to die with my powers in Merkon's hands and my soul here in this fucked out dream world. If I don't return my pearl, she will die, and I will be stuck here forever. What the hell am I going to do? Suddenly, I drop my head and brainstorm possible ways of being untied. "Do you want to know why she had that dream? I lift my head on the screen of the magic projector, continuing to watch. "Because she-" "You better shut up," Nick warned. "You're lucky my hands aren't free to wrap them around that neck of yours." "Go ahead, threaten me all you want," the scary man chuckles. "Killing me won't save Lippy because her other soul is still in my magical world. So you kill me, your Lippy's soul will be stuck there forever and nev
Luna Rising Forty Seven
"...ppy..." I blinked my eyes upon waking up to Dominic's voice finally bringing me back. It felt like I had transitioned from the world of dreams to right now. "Lippy?" I rose and rubbed my head as I faced Dominic's eleven-year-old face. That adorable boy face I remembered and loved. Then I realized I was not in my nineteen-year-old body. I needed to be fully restored since Merkon had my pearl. "Shit," I whisper. "Lippy, are you okay?" I turn and reach for him without answering his question. Hugging Dominic gave me the energy and confidence I needed. "Lippy?" I know Dominic seems confused that I'm back. I pull apart and smile. Once I open my mouth, I hear laughter coming from Merkon. "It's adorable. Puppy love - human emotions are such an interesting thing. We demons don't feel that way towards another. We only think of who is stronger," he smirks. "But you both will be together after I get rid of you." Dominic let out a growl and took a glitch forward, but I held him back.
