Albedo X Lumine Novels & Stories

A woven rug at the dais—old, intricate, glaringly tasteful—and in the center of its pattern, a tiny shimmer where sunlight pooled unnaturally, like a puddle pretending to be a mirror. Solen’s residue doesn’t blaze. It coaxes. It turns noon into a persuader. “Lumi,” I murmured. “Tell me you see the shiny stain under Kael’s boots.” She blinked. “Yep. Light’s sticking to the floor. Like honey.” “Don’t touch it,” I breathed, just as she took a curious half-step. “It’s a nudge ward. It warms the brains of the credulous.” “Gross,” Lumi said. “And efficient.”

Dawn light comes through the sanctum's single high window, small and square and positioned near the ceiling, and the light that falls through it is the clean, unmodified gold of actual morning, carrying none of the red tint that has been coloring everything since the eclipse. Lucian stands in the dust and the dawn light and the diminished glow of the hybrid power that remains, and breathes.

Kelly wondered as he reached up to push a chunk of his shaggy brown hair out of his face. He absently reminded himself to buy some twine or something tomorrow so he could tie it back. Derulo's finally looked up at kelly his silver eyes, the color of his wolf fur, and nodded. A wide grin spread across his face which left his straight, white teeth to stand out against the dark brown of his skin. "Yeah, soon," Derulo grinned wider, "but that's all you're going to get out of me, Alpha." "Fine, fine," kelly raised his large hands in surrender.

I was just hoping they didn’t know my parents well. “Thank you, Alpha, Luna for the offer. We’d be happy to join you. I’m Alaric, Beta of Riverside and this is our Gamma, Laris.” he introduced before smiling and heading to the table to get some food, Laris right beside him. I tilted my head as I felt someone try to mindlink me, not someone I had felt before. Mindlinking, contrary to popular belief, wasn't pack exclusive. That was what the majority of wolves could do. If you were stronger, a warrior, Gamma, Beta, Luna and Alpha, you could mindlink with whoever you please. Makes working with other packs in wolf form easier. It was a biological imperative for the survival of the species. I deci

The hand pulled the fabric off completely, revealing— Alaric. My cruel, sickening cousin. He’d never once bothered to hide how much he wanted to hurt me. “What are you doing here?” I asked. He looked down at me with that same arrogant expression. Typical. A faint, mocking smile tugged at his lips. “Well, look at that,” he said. “The main attraction at today’s auction. The Luna the Nightsilver pack threw away.” "Auction? What auction?" “This is the holding area of the Blackmoon Auction House, you idiot. Your pack sold you.”

Leo dropped the book onto the coffee table and started flicking through the pages so fast I thought he was going to test them. “Here, page 275…. The wolf’s eyes are remarkable. Whether there is an Alpha or Omega they always remain the same color. It is believed that the Moon Goddess is a way to remind us that we are all special to her and are all of equal value to her and each other. In her eyes we are all gold.

I wasn't exactly in a hurry to go back, so I took my time and took a look around the place. According to what I heard from Owen, this place, or rather, this estate in general, was called the Alpha's fortress, where the Alpha, Luna, Beta, and the Third in Command resided. The place is huge, with several quarters—that is, houses—that belonged to each prominent figure.

"Well, you better care. Tomorrow's the yearly alpha ball." The alpha ball is when all alphas gather at one location. With their mates, or lunas, they attend the ball and discuss treaties, or meetings, or wars, basically anything you would like to talk about with other alphas. Instead of asking permission from alphas, all just talks there and it is way easier. And of course, to celebrate becoming alphas.

Layla said. Sebastian clapped his hands. "Finally something I agree with. As much as I don't like the Silvermoon pack and I don't trust them either, I completely agree with the fact that we need to do better and work on settling the differences between us completely because I feel like the reason why the creatures cursed by the sun have been able to get to us is that they know that we're divided and they're using that against us," he replied.

It's obvious to die in a fight. Liam and Anna's condition was bad. They haven't awakened yet. Still unconscious. For seven days they were unconscious. "Though they are immortal, they won't die but their body is severely injured. They have injected many lethal chemicals. Queen Luna's condition is much worse than Alpha King's. I'm afraid to say that this can cause Queen Luna to lose her wolf and even be physically unstable."
