2 Moons Novels & Stories

Alpha Marcus explains. "They can pass through male descendants for generations without fully surfacing unless the descendant is female." My father agrees. "That's what the old stories say." "And Aurelia never had an Alpha daughter." "So the Blood Moon strength faded." He pauses briefly. "Or maybe it just went dormant." I look down at my hands. "...Until now." Alpha Marcus nods slowly. "Until now." Aiden glances toward me. "Which would make you the first Blood Moon Alpha in that line in roughly two hundred years."

The disappearance of the moon was not just an unusual event in the sky; it was a death sentence. The Purge-Moon, now revealed to be anchored in a hidden "Sync-Orbit" on the far side of the planet, started its gravitational sabotage, causing the Earth to groan. Tides retreated miles from the shore, only to return as towering walls of black water. The atmosphere thinned at the poles, and the ground beneath Aethel-Luna shook as the planet was forced to spin backward.

TWO YEARS LATER Elysia’s POV It had been two years since my mother died. Two years since that night in the forest. Two years since a stranger fucked me against a tree and told me I was the biggest mistake of his life. I thought about him sometimes. Late at night when I couldn’t sleep. I’d replay it in my head—the way his hands felt on my skin, the way he’d made me feel wanted for five whole minutes before ripping it away. I didn’t even know his name.

“I thought the bastard got you too.” Liam inhaled. Got you too. That was all the confirmation Liam needed. His mother was really dead. In a way, he knew. He knew that already, sure, but...now it was different. His mother was actually dead now. No more pancakes, no more game nights, no more potato soup. No more of her sweet laugh, no more of her silly Christmas presents.

Taking a deep breath, I say to him, “The Moon Goddess has paired them as mates. There is no dark magic involved and Izzy is his true mate. You are to accept who the Moon Goddess has paired.” “She can reject him.” Alpha Shawn says to me and I give him a look and put my hands on my hips and say, “And how did that feel when I rejected you? And we weren’t even paired by the Moon Goddess. It would kill the two of them, especially Izzy, who has been waiting for her mate.”

Can I argue with facts? “You have been given three, no. You have four full moons to have your time with these mates and on the fifth full moon, you’ll return to the West with your new mate and whatever follows will proceed. In regular calendar time, that’s 4 months, including the month with a blue moon.” Rapha ordered. Five full moons, huh? It bothered me why I was so…calm. Something inside me still believed that I’ll find my mate. “I’ll think about it.” My voice just died and I felt my skin turn blue.

A bright moon with white light. A shining silver moon. But it wasn’t full, like it should be. It wasn’t perfect. Not yet. There weren’t any stars, or any moon. It just seemed more like the sun had gone down than the moon had risen. Like its glow dimmed over time. But what it lacked in brightness, it made up for with a warmth that felt soothing and safe. It was peaceful, comforting, like coming home after a day spent exploring. That didn’t make sense though—didn’t they have a new moon? Didn’t they have two moons, one for this season and the other for next? But there was no moon tonight. No moon at all. And now the pack leader was crying for no reason. Crying because of a broken moon. The moon

On seeing something new and shocking, Leora stationed her paws and passed a seamless glance at the sky. How was this possible? Apart from the natural white color, the Moon Goddess would transition into just one color and that was red during the Blood Moon Night but why was she green? I started seeing two Moons in the sky. I shook my head. All of this running into the woods had got me dizzier and exhausted and that was probably I was seeing two figures of everything.

At such a time some time ago watching it from the balcony of the luxurious pack house but today my glorious days had since disappeared into the abyss. Every joint of body was aching with pain but somehow I still managed a smile. I couldn't tell but something kept assuring me there's a glimmer of hope. The sight of the beautiful moon somehow restored my hope. At at least someone was watching over... The moon goddess, I believed. The beast was quiet as we all felt the nourishing sensation and got carried away by it. I felt as if I was floating in the air for a moment before I found myself opening the wooden down. I made sure it made no noise lest I made some one suscipious.

Alpha Ulric let the men talk amongst themselves while they took in the information. “What packs are doing this? What Alphas and Alphas-to-be are doing this?” Alpha Reese from New Moon said. “At least Cold Moon, Eclipse, Far Side, Storm Moon, Mead Moon, and Crescent Moon. I suspect there may be more,” Alpha Ulric said. More murmurs and talking.
