A Luna's Revenge: Stone Mountain Shifters Novels & Stories

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my pups were brutally killed. After reborn, the first thing I did was guard my children relentlessly. After successfully evading the Rogue wolves' attack, I traded the engagement ring Garrett had given me to passing merchants, who then escorted us to Moonhaven Sanctuary. The entire Northern Territory was under constant threat from Rogue wolves, so all Packs formed an alliance and established Moonhaven Sanctuary, guarded by the most elite warriors from every pack. Only Alphas, Betas, and their recognized mates were permitted to dwell in the sacred Moonhaven Sanctuary.

Shock? “Two,” he whispered in my ear. “One more, lone wolf.” Luna Mother’s smile finally dropped. Just a fraction. She picked up the knife. My knife. Kieran’s knife. “The Pack Stone,” she said. “Carve your name. If you’re Luna, it will glow. If you’re not…” She dragged the blade across her palm, letting blood drip. “Well. The pup needs a mother. And it won’t be you.” Two warriors dragged the Pack Stone forward. Six feet tall. Ancient. Covered in names of Lunas going back 500 years.

“The council prepared for this possibility centuries ago.” The black stone pulsed once. Instantly the glowing sanctuary dimmed. The silver rivers flickered violently. Aria gasped as sharp pain exploded through the bond connecting her to the Heart of Luna. The markings across her skin flickered erratically while the sanctuary itself trembled beneath the influence of the shadow stone. The execution hunters attacked immediately. Ronan blocked one hunter’s strike before another slammed into him from behind, driving him hard against one of the glowing pillars. Kael barely dodged a silver blade aimed for his throat while the sanctuary’s defenses weakened around them.

“The girl dies. The future alpha dies. This territory becomes ours.” On unsteady limbs, Lucas pulled Scarlett upright. Leaning into his frame, she hated how much support she needed. The tremble in her muscles refused to fade, yet something deeper woke her up. Not just alive, fiercer. Emily moved between them and the enemy. “Wait. Scarlett is the true Luna. Killing her means you break an ancient pack law. The moon won’t forgive that.” A moment passed before the leader of the Shadow Pack spoke again. A trace of uncertainty showed in his expression.

They don't bow to the Everest name. They bow to me. "The Returned Luna," they whisper, the sound a low, rhythmic chant that rises from the throats of every shifter in the circle. I stand in the center of the stone, the massive black wolf at my side, realizing that the world has just flipped on its axis. Beside me, I feel the shift begin again. Clyde returns to his human form, naked and gasping in the cold air, but his eyes are fixed on me with a look I’ve never seen.

The past had come alive with fangs and fury, and there would be no turning back. With a feral growl, Natalie launched herself at Cora, her body shifting seamlessly into her werewolf form. Her silver fur gleamed under the moonlight as she moved with lethal precision, muscles coiled with the power of a true Luna. She struck fast, catching Cora from behind, sinking her fangs into her leg with brutal force. Cora let out a sharp snarl, her claws digging into the dirt as pain shot through her limb. But Natalie didn’t stop there—summoning all her strength, she used the momentum to hurl Cora away from Norwan, sending her skidding across the rocky terrain.

She reached across the space between their horses and took his hand, and he held it as they rode like that for a while with the rest of the escort pretending not to notice, Caelum riding ahead with his usual efficiency and the rogues behind, quiet and watchful. The road stretched out ahead of them with two more days to Ashville, two more days before they walked into a council chamber and faced whatever the corrupt Alphas had waiting, two more days before Theron took back his throne and marked her in front of everyone who mattered and made her Luna to an Alpha King despite the moon goddess’s judgment.
