Banyan Moon Novels & Stories

Shutting off the television and game system, I went to look at my neighbor's house. Lights illuminated the backyard. A first in all the times that I have looked over. Maybe she was having a party. I caught movement and I looked over to the pool to see Ms. Banes swimming in the pool. She was in the middle of the pool treading water and facing away from me. The moon reflected off the water, and she was basking in it. That was when she turned to look back at the house, and her eyes shimmered. I thought it was just something my mind. A naked man appeared to form the back of the house and walked to the edge of the water.

It was time for me to Journey into the soul world and bring her back. I stood still awaiting my transport as Aishatu took over the chanting. The moon was full, but when I looked up, it was completely blue. I had never seen anything like it before. I had heard of the blue moon, but I had never seen it before. It signified the power of the three Ruhus combined. This simply meant that they were now at full capacity. Realising this, I was determined to bring back Binta's soul. Binta's predicament was the only reason why Aljannan Daji was not being hunted by the deities. She was a distraction, a clever one at that, and I was determined to end it.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like the sky was crying for me. Our car gradually went deeper into Pack territory; I realized this because, on the way, there were many times I saw the flag representing Blood Moon. This place used to be called S-Moon; Pack is small, but its natural resources are affluent. Many people were trying to take it, including Blue Moon, but no one could trespass because of the rugged terrain. But three months ago, it belonged to Elias; what is more impressive, he readily took it in one night and renamed the land just now Blood Moon.

“So, what does it require of me? Is there any evil power behind it? I really need to know because I've been left in the shadows for so long." “By midnight, make sure to meet me at the old Vine tree. " When the moon is bright, I believe that mysteries will also be unveiled,” she commanded me with a firm tone. “However, once we step into that mysterious light, there will be no going back." “What if I'm not interested in knowing?” I asked with panic laced up in my voice.

--- Chapter Nine: The Blood Moon Rising The weight of the night was oppressive. The moon, now full and glowing red, hung low in the sky like a judgment, casting long, eerie shadows over the forest. It was a Blood Moon—a rare celestial event that Aria had only heard about in whispered legends. But she hadn’t known how much darker and more dangerous it would feel until it was right above her. She stood on the balcony of Kade’s cabin, her fingers gripping the railing, eyes fixed on the crimson moon. Something about it called to her. It felt as if it was alive, aware, watching her—waiting.

His roar shattered stone, and in the distance, Silverfang territory felt it like an earthquake. Silverfang Territory The pack howled in terror as the ground split. Loyalists and defectors alike were thrown to the earth. Rowan’s surviving forces huddled together as the sky bled. “He’s coming…” someone whispered. “No. It’s not him anymore,” said another. “It’s the Blood Moon Curse.” And far off in the trees, a single figure smirked—cloaked in tattered black, a faint void swirling in his hand. Kalen. His body was cracked, broken, but his eyes… his eyes burned with triumph.

**The Banished Luna** **Chapter 1 — Shadows Before the Moon** The moonlight poured through the narrow window, silvering the dust that hung in the air. I tugged my worn cloak tighter around my shoulders as I stacked the last bundle of herbs on the healer’s table. My fingertips were raw from picking nettles all afternoon, but the sting was nothing compared to the constant ache of being invisible. Invisible — except when I was a problem. “Aria, you’re slow again.” The healer’s sharp voice snapped me from my thoughts. She didn’t look up from grinding roots in her mortar. “If you can’t keep up, I’ll tell Beta Rowan to find someone else.”

Inside, a single plant bloomed. It was beautiful in its own way. Delicate purple flowers clustered along its stems, their petals almost translucent in the sunlight that filtered through the wire mesh overhead. The color was a stunning, deep violet that faded to lavender at the edges. The smell was equally lovely, sweet and slightly intoxicating, like honey mixed with something floral and wild. But Autumn knew better than to let the beauty fool her. This was moonbane bloom. One of the most dangerous plants in existence.

The rain hadn’t stopped all day. It drummed steadily against the penthouse windows, turning the skyline into a hazy watercolor of lights and shadows. Isabella sat at the kitchen counter with a book open in front of her, though she hadn’t read a single word in ten minutes. The smell of something cooking pulled her out of her thoughts. She turned toward the kitchen island and blinked. Matteo Moretti — mafia heir, ruthless negotiator, man of calculated danger — was standing in front of the stove, stirring a pot of sauce.

"Why take up her fight, brother? You aren't her mate! If she was of royal blood and truly one of us, she would have had her lunar call since the moment she could walk!" She turned to regard everyone else in the hall. "Haven't you all thought of the very reason Moon's Call rejected her?... It is because she's useless... A worthless nymph cast amidst brave Lycans is just a stain on our legacy... We are obviously being regarded as a laughing stock by other packs...all because of her!" She pointed an accusing finger at Theresa, and the others, besides Darius, Herrick, Astrophel, Elaine and Karen began to murmur amongst one another about their long bottled-up displeasure, and Theresa cowered at t
