Broken Moonlantern Novels & Stories

After that meeting, none of them set eyes on each other again for more than a month. Gadget Co had still not gotten back to them and Dante was looking for a way to get Cora out of the way. If only he could get her to drop out on her own. "What's this idea of yours, Liam?" Dante asked Liam, who sat across from him in his office. He remembered Liam talking about a way of getting the Moore empire to back off. "It had better be good." His eyes narrowed as he stared at his fidgeting nephew.

I stayed close to Killian, my claws tearing through one rogue as he lunged for me. By the time the last body hit the ground, the clearing was silent once more. Killian crouched over one of the fallen rogues, searching his belongings. He pulled something from the man’s pocket—a piece of paper, folded and worn. He opened it, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the words. “What is it?” I asked, stepping closer. He handed it to me without a word. The message was brief but chilling. “The Amulet will be ours. Silvermoon falls next.”

Laughter rang louder, tempers flared quicker, and every eye seemed brighter under the silver light spilling from above. The entire pack had gathered in the open clearing, the ceremonial fire blazing at the center. The scent of roasted meat and spiced wine mingled with the wild, earthy perfume of the forest beyond the borders. Above us, the moon hung low and swollen, bathing everything in its ghostly glow.

Dieta de Lune, ma devo ti solasta gor libertia du essencia de ma harte de surita enilationa de ula exestian– Moon Goddess, I channel your power to free my loved one from the fate of a doomed life. Until Ethan's eyes opened.

One skipped close to Elira's feet: "Remain long enough to see the change." Caelan crouched next to her. "Did we write that one?" She shook her head. "It's newer. Not official." "But it belongs," he said. A girl came running up, panting. "I wrote it! Can I make it a clause?" Elira glanced at her. "You already did." --- 7:39 PM — Sector K, Lantern Archive Hollow Lanterns were kept here during off-months—each etched with inscriptions, some with multiple hands, others anonymous. Volunteers cycled through, inspecting for damage, cleaning, stamping dates.

Reed made a thin, broken sound. Cassia started to cry again, quietly, like an animal that has learned noise gets nothing. Marla said nothing at all. Greta exhaled like a finally-won point. “Moon likes her balance,” she murmured. Kade’s voice went ceremonial-soft. “You heard your Luna.” Lillieth’s lashes fluttered. She didn’t contradict it. Draven’s eyes flared—there and gone—but he didn’t correct a single syllable. “Lux,” Kade said. “By her order: water.”

He was resplendent in his ceremonial attire, his eyes fixed on the horizon where the golden disc of the sun was being slowly, inexorably devoured by the encroaching moon. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as the world plunged into an eerie, midday darkness. It was a premature night; stars blinked into existence, shivering in the sudden, biting cold. To the superstitious, it was a terrifying omen of divine displeasure, a harbinger of doom. But for Elena, it was simply the elegant mechanics of the universe—a celestial reminder that even in the deepest, most suffocating shadow, the light remained, waiting patiently to return.

We bent to read the plaque. "Luna Jessica of the Blood Moon pack, the second of the pack to be Corrupted, victim of the Silver Hands." the plaque read. "Your mother," Mabel told me. She walked to a cabinet I hadn't noticed and got out a round, white rock. It was big enough to fit in the cup of her palms. "Moon rock," she told me. "Harnesses the light of the moon. It captures moonlight, and releases it when the user needs it."

Knowing that there was still a long, dark road to go down before she can be truly happy, and enjoy what she and Conri had… But with him by her side, she knew she can overcome anything. She was excited for what was laying ahead today… She will become Luna, and they are starting her training, and she will finally learn more about herself, The Moon Princess… Tala went to take a long hot shower. She stood under the warm water and closed her eyes. She missed Dolph, and that terrible sound of his neck snapping, echoed in her ears. She felt a tear run downher face and she made a promise to herself that she will let her father pay for what he has done, for everything that he has ever done to her…

Omegas deserved the same respect as anyone else. Alina reminded me so much of Owen. Both were arrogant, self-absorbed, condescending, and dismissive of others. Luckily, before the tension could thicken any further, someone broke the silence. Orion spoke up with a light grin. “Would you like to try some lunar nougat? It’s a delicacy from the Lycan territories, only available once a year during the Silver Lantern Festival.” He lifted a hand to signal one of the festive jesters weaving through the crowd with a silver tray.
