Bride Under The Moonlight Novels & Stories

he greeted leaning forward to peek at my book. "I am learning about the moon," I told him. "Ah, excited about your wedding night?" I slammed the book close and look up at him. "Why can't the wedding be in the presence of the daylight? Why of the moon? And why under the purple moon?" I continuously asked. He was left in awe. "I am just wondering." "Well," he shut his mouth and pulled a chair, sitting on it and pulling it forward. "Demons are stronger during the presence of the moon. And while you are marrying a Demon King, he needs to follow a rule."

We ended up obliging and following her. By the time we got downstairs, every single member of the pack except his father was there. They bowed down. “All Hail the Alpha and Luna,” they all said at once. Andrei nodded at them before they finally stood up again. The priestess was already there, setting everything in place. She brought forth her hand, urging me to take it. I walked towards her majestically, taking her hand. I heard the whispers, praising my dress among the pack women. Just as we had planned.

Why? He got up from the bed and walked out of his room into the moonlight. He was not sure how he returned home, if what he had gone through was real or not, but right now, he needed to meet his mother. He dashed through the forest, crossing the ground in mere seconds, bursting through his father’s house by the lake. The moment he burst through, he found that a full moon meeting was going on. It seemed he had forgotten. It was at that moment that he realized that he was standing there, clear headed under a full moon.

“Every day, I will prove it. No excuses, no regrets. Just… love. Always love.” As night fell, a soft silver haze blanketed the garden. The moon rose, its light stronger than the stars, casting pale shadows across the fountains and walkways. Aria paused, sensing the familiar presence of the Moon Goddess. She lifted her eyes to the moonlit sky, feeling the whisper of energy threading through the night.

(Avery’s Point of View) The moonlight spills in through the window like a pale veil, casting long shadows across the floor. I can’t sleep. I haven’t been able to for days. Every night feels like I’m drifting on the edge of something, caught between two worlds. The one where I’m Avery Harper, just a girl trying to survive her sister’s death and the mess of a life I never asked for, and the other where I’m Avery Maddox, tangled up in a curse I don’t understand, married to a man whose secrets are darker than his eyes.

His eyes met mine. The priest hurried through the rest. Something about the Moon Goddess and eternal bonds and pack law. I wasn't listening. I was staring at the white sheet covering the bride's body twenty feet away. They'd carried her off to the side. Out of the way. Like she was furniture. "I caught a glimpse of her hand before they covered it. Something green under her fingernails. Like... plant residue? Or something else?" "You may now kiss the bride." My head snapped up. "Wait, we don't have to—"

she murmured leaning against him again, staring at the full moon that was already up in the sky, reflecting her beauty on the water below her. Lucas looked at the same direction, feeling his mother blessing them from up there. He couldn't be happier. And his life felt complete by just having Selena between his arms and his mother watching over them. It did feel like the moon was giving them her blessing somehow. And that was how they knew everything was going to be fine. And whatever they had to face in the future, they would have each other. And that was more than enough.

He asked curiously. "Yes. He wants me to sign a contract to be his Luna for a month and if I'm still not in love with him, then he'd reject me and let me go forever but I told him that can only happen in his dreams." She explained her discussion with Harris to the Major. "After a deep thought, I realized the moon goddess is actually on our side." He announced, confusing Kat. "What do you mean, sir?" She asked. "Assuming you agree to the contract, will you actually fall for him in a month? After all, you both have been intimate for…"

"But you have me anyway." His smile returned. And somehow, that was enough. Sunset painted the sky gold and crimson. The clearing outside the pack house glowed beneath torchlight. Flowers lined the path. Every member of the pack stood gathered around us – not as witnesses to a political arrangement, but as family. I stood across from Kael. My hand rested in his. Warm. Steady. Certain. The elder leading the ceremony invoked the Moon Goddess not as a force of punishment, but as a witness to our choice. The gold at my wrist pulsed gently – almost like approval.

I saw the joy in her eyes when I spun her around the fields where the Moonflower blooms and then to the Night Gladiolus fields where they bloom. "It is beautiful," she said in awe, taking in the magnificently lit field of fireflies. "I knew you would love it," I said, pressing my lips to hers. "What are you doing?" She giggled, exasperated. "I want to make love to you," I said, brushing her cheek. "Here?" she asked, confused. "Under the moonlight, yes. The Moon Goddess will surely bless our union if you agree to be my mistress this night," I said, taking her lips in mine.
