Gone In The Moonlight Novels & Stories

Edeline Outside, the moon had finally risen above the treetops, casting a soft glow that filtered through the leaves, which fluttered and danced in the gentle breeze. Autumn was approaching, its presence evident in the crisp air and falling leaves. The moonlight illuminated my room with a calming, ethereal glow. I stared up at the moon, wishing for healing, hoping for strength. I needed to develop a stronger will. I pleaded silently for a solution, for a way to address all the mistakes and find a path through this painful situation.

Aria sat by her window, staring at the dark sky. The moon shone brightly, casting silver light over the castle walls. But tonight, the moon didn’t bring her comfort. It only reminded her of the mother she never knew, the mother who had loved the night sky, just as she did.

he snarled. Keaton’s truck pulled into the driveway as the moon hung low in the sky, its silvery glow illuminating the tense scene. Channary stood on the porch, her bag clutched tightly in her hands. Her mother lingered just inside the doorway, her face pale and drawn, while Roman stood at the edge of the porch, his posture stiff with barely contained rage.

They stayed there, anchored to one another under the silver light, two broken things finding a temporary mend. Miles away, the moon shone just as brightly over Silvermoon, where Garrick watched over a corpse and nursed a suspicion that was starting to bite just as deep.

I looked at Lynn. He understood instantly. One hand came to rest protectively at my back, the other pressed firmly against Logan’s chest, pushing him aside. “Step away,” Lynn said, voice even but edged with command. “We’re here to sign the Moonlight Covenant. Don’t stand in our way.” Under Logan’s stunned glare, Lynn handed his pack insignia to the registrar, along with a moonstone ring that matched the one he’d given me. I guided my mother’s wheelchair toward the side chamber where the ceremony would be held.

But the Moonlight pack by the stream continued to thrive and multiply. Among the werewolves' wandering bards, the ballad of the Moonlight pack was passed down. They sang, "Beautiful Cynthia wed a mate far away, bringing wealth and wisdom to her pack's stay. A jealous she-wolf called her a traitor's name, and her beloved husband cast her out in shame. None knew the wolfsbane in her blood did flow, till the Moon Goddess let her innocence show. Then home at last her weary soul could go." The melodious and poignant song spread across Mittelgard.

I grew up alongside Arthur Stevenson, who eventually became the Lord Chancellor. However, on the day of the royal physician selection, he disqualified me on the grounds that I had spilled a small amount of medicinal residue. Instead, he chose my younger stepsister. When I asked him why, he looked completely unconcerned. "Your sister wants the position, so what's the harm in a loving older sister stepping aside? A proper lady shouldn't be so jealous and willful. Consider today a small lesson for you." What he didn't realize was that if I couldn't enter the castle as a resident physician, I would be forced to enter as a royal mistress to the tyrannical King. Later on, word reached me that

I guessed, her attempts of being nice to me paid off well—she officially became Nathan’s girlfriend at the very night they visited the spring. I heard Nathan told my mom about the night the pack went to bail on the Full Moon celebration to go to the spring and proved the fairy tales about Moon Goddess. He swore he didn’t hear any of my howling that time because they were trying to make an offering so the Moon Goddess would appear before them. However, while the Goddess didn’t appear, Selene was convinced that Nathan was her mate.

After an hour of twisting and turning on his bed, Moon decided to go and see Ocean. He got up, wore his clothes, wrote a note to his mother to know that said, "Ma, I'm going to see Ocean and will be back by breakfast. Love you." He left the note on his bedside table and jumped out of his window. He looked around, no one was there. He smiled to himself and in a flash, he was standing in Knight's Villa. He got into Ocean's room and found her sleeping peacefully. He stripped off his shirt and climbed into her bed.

Cadence stood in the field, steering up at the moon for hours. Around her, the LIGHTS team worked to take eight Vampires into custody, verify the information they’d collected from every other Vampire present, and comb the area for anything they’d missed. Vampires worked to tear down the tents and other festival equipment, once LIGHTS had fully searched it and determined there was nothing of value. Even when the moon had worked its way across the sky and was descending beyond the horizon, she stood, watching, thinking, wondering how this had happened.
