Black Luna Moth Tattoo Meaning Novels & Stories

My blood ran cold. That totem was identical to the unique mark on Rocco's chest, the one that represented our eternal Mate Bond. Only true mates received such a mark—a symbol of blended souls, a lifelong promise. And now, she had tattooed it onto her own skin. And Rocco had allowed it. I put down my phone and called the pack's tattoo artist. "Luna Caterina? It's so late. Is everything alright?" Samuel, the artist, sounded exhausted. "Samuel, I need to book an appointment for a tattoo removal."

“When did I get a tattoo? I… I didn’t.” “Of course you did!” Eva squealed. “Kael bit you, right?” I nodded, flustered. “That’s it! The bite turned into the tattoo… ‘A.K.,’ that has to mean Alpha Kael! My Luna!” She bowed dramatically. “Stop bowing,” I said, laughing despite myself. “Never!” She swept into an exaggerated curtsey. “Great Luna from the great Lycan family of the Dravens!” When our laughter finally faded, she grew quiet. “Diana… There's something I need to tell you. I was waiting for things to calm down, but now it feels right.”

“I’ve never attended a Luna ceremony, but I’ve read about them. Honestly, I used to think the idea of dressing up and worshiping under the full moon was outdated—like we were spiritually stuck in the old days when everyone shifted more than not. But the meaning behind it is actually beautiful.” She continued, “The Luna is seen as a reflection of the Moon Goddess, draped in white and adorned with cut moonstones to symbolize divine light and purity. Traditionally, a Luna’s role is to guide the pack spiritually. The ceremony isn’t just to recognize the Alpha’s mate; it’s about the Alpha thanking the Goddess for blessing him with a Luna. It’s a commitment to treat her with honor.” I stared at my

As I sat down across from him, I could feel his eyes boring holes into my head. “Leo,” I breathed, my voice trembling, “I can explain—” “Do you understand the significance of what you’ve done?” he interrupted. My eyes widened. “I-I didn’t do anything, Leo,” I insisted. “I swear. I came back from lunch and found it like this.” But Leo simply sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Audrey… Luna moths are a symbol of peace and prosperity to werewolves. Destroying one, particularly its wings... it’s essentially wishing harm upon all werewolves and the Moon Goddess herself.”

“Yeah, Diana. You're just saying that because you're jealous. You've been trying to get a tattoo for years and never succeeded.” Diana's face turned red, almost purple. A low growl escaped her throat, causing some students to recoil. She looked like she was about to lose control, but Paula was not intimidated. “Oh my God!” Paula suddenly shouted, pointing to the tattoo at the base of Mia's back. “You also got an inscription in the language of wolves that says: Luna of the Moons. Strength. Healing. Love. I knew it! You can only be Nolan's mate!” Paula's scream echoed like thunder in the parking lot, and in the next instant, everything seemed to freeze.

I stare at it in confusion, a dull ache pulsing beneath my skin. A moment later, silver-blue light flares on my skin and then fades, leaving a delicate tattoo. A moon cradling a tiny star, and around it, ancient rune writing. It looks like a birthmark. I hear Kingston groan, and when I turn to meet his gaze, I find him staring at his wrist. He smiles, the same mark appears on his wrist, identical to mine, and when he smooths his hand over it, mine flares, glowing. “The heart has chosen,” Elder Winston announces. “We have a true Luna, the first Mooncrest has seen in over three hundred years. All hail the Luna.”

“The Council has been pressuring me about Lucian’s succession. They want to see him settled. Mated. A mate bond would satisfy all their concerns.” “This is convenient timing,” Isolde murmured. “Mother,” Lucian growled. I took a steadying breath. “I understand this is important to the pack. But I think we need to slow down. Lucian and I barely know each other. Whatever he’s feeling, I’m not ready to call this a mate bond.” “You felt it on the balcony.” Lucian leaned forward, his voice earnest. “Your wolf recognized mine. The bond is there, Aurelia. I know you felt it.”

“I haven’t forgotten that. Well, it hasn’t caused her any problems yet. Let’s leave it for now. If it appeared it could mean the moon goddess has blessed her.” “Blessed who?” the door suddenly opened and Mel came in. “We’re both talking about Lavana. Carmelia says there’s a tattoo at her back up to her neck. A wolf tattoo.” “Really?” Mel’s eyes widened in surprise. Both nodded. “What expression was the wolf making.” “You mean the wolf tattoo?” Rolandro asked and his friend nodded. “I think it had no expression but the eyes… were that of calm or indifference with a little threat in them.” “Should we ask her about it?” Mel asked.

I say as I smile down at her. "Oh, what is your theory mister investigator?" He teased, and I twirled her. I pulled her back into me and held her tight to my chest. "Luna is Latin, and it means moon. We pray to the goddess Selene, and she is the embodiment of the moon. So to the Alpha, his mate is like the embodiment of the goddess in his life. She is his moon. The Alpha doesn't submit to anyone but the goddess. His mate is the only one his equal, the only one he will worship." I lean down to steal a kiss.

“It’s called a Trinity Knot. It is of Celtic origin.” “What does it mean?” I ask intrigued. “The three loops have a different meaning and they become one. Earth, Fire and Water.” He looks up at me and I look into his bright blue eyes. They remind me of Brett’s and a surge of guilt hits me for running off. I feel the mate bond overpowering me and my chest starts to tighten. Lugh seeing my discomfort places a reassuring hand on my shoulder, “Brett will be fine. We will let him know you are safe once we reach our destination.”
