Gone In The Moonlight Novels & Stories

His silver eyes were locked on Lyla’s body still lying on the stone where the shadows had swallowed her, her chest rising faintly, her skin glowing with silver veins. “She’s not here,” he rasped. “She’s inside it.” Jonas knelt beside him, eyes wide with fear. “Inside what?” “The Moon,” Eli whispered. “It took her.” The Blood Moon above pulsed like a heartbeat, shadows licking across the chamber walls. Mason swore under his breath. “If she’s gone in there, how the hell do we get her out?” Eli’s gaze never wavered from Lyla. His fists clenched, even as blood soaked his clothes.

He hadn’t apologized either. He’d left me questioning myself. ⸻ I didn’t go home. Instead, my feet carried me down familiar streets until warm light spilled onto the sidewalk.

Even the bedding, the bed itself, and all the daily necessities had been blessed by the Moon Goddess during the full moon. Not only that, but Shane even arranged for an Omega named Leah Allen to take care of me. No one mentioned what had happened before I left. It was as if everything had returned to the way it once was. Shane and I were still the model couple of the pack. One day, I saw Shane kissing that Omega in the living room. That very night, my breathing turned chaotic. My emotions spiraled out of control, and my water broke early, and I gave birth to my daughter.

“Just… not with the whole pack watching.” Derik’s grin was knowing. “Good call.

The Moonlight pooled across the water like liquid silver. He turned the small velvet pouch in his hand, heart thudding in his chest.

The New Moon Conversation The night of the new moon was completely dark, the sky overcast so that even the stars were absent, and they walked to the Moon Grounds by torchlight with Elara's hand in Darius's and Mira walking ahead, the bone stylus tucked in her pocket.

There was silence, except for the wind moving through the stone. Aren took a breath. "Alright... Let's do this." They broke apart. 6pm. A few hours until the full moon. Below, the water in the basin was perfectly still. [Two Hours Later] The moon was already rising. Too early. Too bright. Douglas showed up at exactly 8 pm.

It was the national holiday when my husband, Damon Fuchs, married another woman behind my back in Kanna. The woman standing beside him in the video was my best friend, Mila Kirk. The page boy was the boy Mila had claimed was her nephew—the child I had raised for years. Now he was calling her "Mommy" and Damon "Daddy." Behind them, my own parents and mother-in-law sat in the front row, clapping the loudest. It was only then that I understood: the so-called vacation, Mila's supposed nephew—those were all lies.

Stephen smirked. “Yeah you’re right.

Everyone was in a rush but why? "What's going on?" I asked them. They stared at me with the look it's a mess out. "You didn't check the news did you?" Scott asked. I shake my head in denial.
