"Get a shirt," I advise Xavion while hopping down the stairs, Python padding behind me like a shadow.

The living room is a maze of sleeping bodies. I leap over limbs and tangled blankets to reach Python’s bowl, pouring his food with practised ease. He slips through the chaos like mist and hops onto the counter, tail flicking. I scratch behind his ears as he eats, scanning the kitchen for anything resembling breakfast.

Nothing. Not enough for nine werewolves and a cat.

I’ll have to go to the supermarket.

Grabbing my purse, I tiptoe toward the front door—but warm arms wrap around my waist from behind, and a familiar head rests on my shoulder.

"Where are you going, sugar?" Xavion whispers, voice still thick with sleep.

"We need food," I whisper back, careful not to wake the others.

"They're wolves," I argue softly, trying to make a point. But he doesn’t respond. His breathing slows, and I realise he’s half-asleep on my shoulder.

After a long yawn, he nods.

  • The Human Luna   Chapter 17

    There are only a few days left before my leave ends, and I’m still nestled in the heart of the werewolf pack.I’ve come to enjoy the peaceful rhythm of life they embraced here, tucked deep in the mountains. It’s quiet, calm. Everyone has their own role, their own purpose. And if you walk down the gravel path between the cabins, every single person greets you like family.It’s a close-knit community—no outsiders.Except me, of course. But I seem to be the only one who thinks that. Everyone treats me like I’m already their Luna."Morning," Maggie greets as I step into the nursery, just like I’ve done every day this past week."Good morning," I reply, smiling as I join the children. They’ve just finished breakfast, and I instinctively begin clearing the dishes."Oh, look who's here," Tasia announces as she enters with an empty plastic crate."Morning to you too," I tease, and she waves me off with a grin as she starts collecting plates. I gather the utensils and drop them into the crate.

    "Can we talk now?" I ask, my eyes drifting to the wooden beams on the ceiling, their monotony only amplifying my immense boredom."Mhm," Xavion hums, but doesn't move from his position by my side."Xavion," I warn him with a stronger tone, hoping it gets through to him. It does."I know, I know. I'm sorry," he says quickly, springing up at the sudden urge to comfort me, my voice having more of an effect on him than I thought.His hands find my cheeks, large and rough, yet his touch is impossibly gentle. The contrast throws me for a moment, but I lean into it, letting him know I’m not angry—just trying to understand.He exhales, visibly relaxing at my response."I get that you’re protective of me," I advise him softly, "but you have to talk to me so I can understand you better. I can’t feel your emotions like you can feel mine."The reminder that I’m human in a pack of werewolves stings a bit, but I don't let it discourage me because I don't want Xavion to go through another moping sess

    I feel a gentle touch on my hand and glance down to see the little girl with the teddy bear trying to reach me. Her small fingers brush mine, and I realise she must have sensed my nerves growing more haywire by the second. "Thank you," I whisper with a soft smile, crouching down to reach her eye level and interlocking our hands. She offers me her own smile, letting her blonde hair fall over her face as she shyly looks down. Tasia mutters something under her breath, and before I can look up, she’s already rushing to the front door, calling over her shoulder, "I'll be right back!" Her sudden departure catches me off guard. I blink, trying to process what just happened, but she’s already gone.Too afraid to look out the window again, I stay where I am, sinking to the floor and leaning back against the wall.I shift slightly to give the little girl space to sit beside me. She nestles into my side without hesitation, and I release her hand to wrap her in a lax side hug.Despite the nois

    "Ah!" I yelp as a werewolf toddler launches himself onto my back while I’m sitting cross-legged on the carpeted floor."Jackson, wait!" I panic, preparing to gently catch him as he scrambles over my shoulder, clearly wanting to leap dramatically into my lap. We tumble together, landing in a heap. I twist mid-fall to make sure Jackson lands on me and not the floor.I exhale sharply, wind knocked out of me, but relief floods in when I see Jackson sprawled across my stomach, giggling like it’s the best ride he’s ever had."Jackson!" Maggie scolds the young boy from across the room. The boy jumps, startled, and bolts off without a second thought, leaving me breathless and flat on the floor.Before I can recover, another face appears above me—long hair tickling my cheeks. A girl who looks about six offers me a shy smile. I try to return it, but I’m pretty sure the pain is distorting my expression.She waves sweetly and darts off, her tiny feet pattering across the floor.I groan and pull m

  • The Human Luna   Chapter 13

    I wake to the sun’s rays burning across my face, slipping through the curtains like golden fingers. I groan into the pillow, reluctant to leave the cocoon of warmth.Clattering and movement echo from downstairs, and the scent of food wafts up to meet me—savoury, rich, unmistakable.Breakfast.I groan into the pillow before throwing the duvet from my body. My body rolls itself out of bed, and I wobble a few steps toward the bathroom before gaining enough control over my body to freshen up.A knock on the door makes me slightly jump as I finish pulling a shirt over my head."Heard you're awake," Xavion’s voice calls from the other side.I pull the door open with a sleepy smile. "Good morning to you too."He chuckles under his breath. "Yes, good morning. Want to come down for breakfast?""Give me one sec," I say, holding up a hand. I grab a pair of shoes and slide into them, nodding once I’m ready.Xavion takes my hand, warm and steady, and gently leads me down the stairs. At the bottom,

    "This is it," Xavion says, spreading his arms wide as we step onto the unmarked road behind the mountains. Nestled in the valley is a massive house surrounded by a small, thriving village—hidden from the world, known only to the people who live here."Woah," is all I manage to say, my eyes wide as I take in the sight."It's nice, isn't it?" Royce suddenly speaks up, making me slightly jump at his appearance."Sorry," he says quickly, noticing my reaction. Before I can respond, Xavion pulls me gently to his side, his arm wrapping around my waist."They've already prepared an extra room for you," he says, guiding me toward the largest cabin.I wave at a few bystanders as we walk the dirt path.Xavion leads me up to the second floor and down a hallway to the left. "Here. Make yourself at home," he says, gesturing to the open door.The room is spacious, cosy, and surprisingly elegant. A large bed sits in the centre, framed by soft curtains and warm lighting."Oh, wow. Is this where I'm sta
