Future Nostalgia Moonlight Edition Novels & Stories

No animal dared to enter his domain, including the grizzlies that occupied the area ever since he battled the one that previously claimed the cave as home. The moon was full and shined brightly in the black sky. Kaynon lifted his head to stare into its light, feeling its mighty pull and relishing in its power. Closing his eyes, he took a deep inhale of the crisp air signifying the imminent return of autumn, and the anniversary of his pack's death. Their screams still haunted him and kept him up most nights. Another day of redemption tomorrow. He thought to himself before drifting off into a dreamless slumber. *******************************

The lunar eclipse began at 11:47 p.m., a slow black bite taken out of the full moon visible through the high windows of the mansion. The secret society had gathered only once a year for this exact window of darkness, the invitations handwritten and burned after reading. No phones. No names. The sprawling estate had been prepared in advance—furniture pushed against the walls, carpets rolled back, every surface made available. By the time the moon was half-covered the main hall was already a shifting sea of naked bodies.

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."

I feel so alive, oh I feel so free. Dancing in the moonlight , now you hold me close, your breath tickles my senses ..you boop my nose. All laughter fills the air, our faces lit up with impish glee... I want this to never end, for we are all just stardust. You and me. Forever yours, Meg

In the days that followed, Allen would drop by the manor to see if I had returned. He even put together a belated birthday gift for me. It was a necklace embedded with sparkling moonstones. Allen had been counting the days. On the eve of the next full moon, he rushed to the manor. Since the moon would be at its fullest tomorrow, I was certain to come back and renew the bond mark on my wrist. Allen planned to surprise me by taking me back to Moonlight Lake on the night of the full moon for a fresh start.

**KELLY THOMPSON'S POV** The moon's rebirth was a lie. Its light, once pure and radiant, now flickered like a guttering candle, casting elongated shadows that slithered across the camp. The Eclipse Crown sat heavy on Eden's brow, its twin spiral darkened to a bruise-like hue, and the air hummed with a dissonant energy that made the wolves' hackles rise. Kelly stood at the edge of the grove, her trinity mark cold and silent, Nyxara's whispers absent for the first time in months. The victory over Nythra felt hollow, a fragile ceasefire in a war far from over.

I could have sworn I heard a laugh before he walked out. Bastard. ​By noon, the embarrassment of yesterday was swallowed up by the sheer chaos in the estate. ​Everybody was moving with frantic energy. Banners of silver and midnight blue were being draped across the main hall. Tomorrow was the Moonlight Shower and also a full moon, and the entire pack was working on high tension. ​"It's not just pretty light in the sky, you know," Ethan murmured, leaning against the wooden pillar. ​"I gathered," I said, still mad at him for teasing me about yesterday's incident. He had gotten his own punishment from Jaxson, whatever that was.

Turning to the window, Stacy noticed the brightness of the blue moon infiltrating the room, adding to the boys' restlessness. Cassian, the eldest of the triplets, looked at Stacy and requested, “Stacy, can you leave the curtain open? I like to see the moon.” Considering the request, Stacy agreed, “Okay, Cassian, but just a little, alright? You need to sleep.” Cassian thanked her with a smile, and Stacy went to the window to leave a crack in the curtain. The gentle light of the blue moon softly illuminated the room, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

From The Nora’s Logophile Board Flumadidle: (n.) Utter Nonsense *** 'Keeping the pure radiance of the moon as the witness, the heir of the Rakh Clan, and the firstborn female of the Paristo family are to be bound by marriage.' That was what stated in the letter Rosalind got a while ago. As she dragged her tired body into her house she thought, ‘What the hell?!’

He continued. "Why would you do that?" You asked again. "Because tonight's a full moon, it was either leave you out there to turn or bring you in here and be with you to make sure you're safe." Nate looked a little shy. "Oh, hum, thanks." You whispered. "Don't mention it, do you want to camp out here or go home?" Nate asked, he was fully prepared to camp out with you. "I'd like to stay here with you." You smile, moving closer to him.
