Halo: The Mona Lisa Novels & Stories

I run into the shackle house as I try to catch my breath. “Vee what’s going on, why aren’t we going on with the plan?” George asks. His voice frantic. “Yeah why did you run off like that?” Handel asks Dan saw the same thing as me so he didn’t question me. “D…Did you guys see the Luna?” I ask them still pretty dumbfounded. “No, why?” Handel furrows his brows. “She looked exactly like me”

Solange doesn't take away her eyes from her food, but she smirks and it is as if she is feeding Deidre with her energy. I tighten my fists and try to focus on something; I lock my eyes on the knife in front of me, and I study it, trying to distract myself from it. I remember what Mei said about her; she creates this feeling to make me feel less and to scare me. She plays dirty. I study the knife and feel like every part of my body wants to get out of that room, but my mind is convinced that is not the time nor the place to back away. I am the Luna, and I am where I belong. They are the strangers in uncharted territory.

says Syl. "I don't," I admit. "I might," says Hala as she perks up, her pearl earrings shining in some of the light that comes between the leaves around us. She closes her eyes and concentrates, and her standing cast appears, before it melts into a cloud of shimmering glitters. Hala opens her eyes, and then points at Syl as she directs the cloud. It goes to him, and then falls over his head, shoulder, and rest of him. It's not erased his image, but it has distorted him. With the right background, it'd only look like a breeze was blowing something of that same background.

The room was bathed in a soft blue glow, emanating from the crystal's pulsating core. Thais Elias stepped forward, his eyes locked onto the crystal. "This is it, Luna. Our chance to bring forth the clarity and power we seek." His voice trembled with a mixture of excitement and anticipation. Luna approached the crystal cautiously, its enchanting glow casting an otherworldly shimmer on her face. She reached out, her hand trembling with a mix of nerves and determination. As her fingers brushed against the smooth surface, a surge of energy coursed through her body, igniting a warmth deep within her soul.

A mate mark. “I’m happy for you,” Lydia said. Thalia smiled. “I’m happy too. And Knox… he’s a good guy. I’ve seen how you two look at each other.” Lydia smiled faintly. “Yeah, I guess so.” Thalia pulled out a necklace. The pendant was a woman’s head with snakes for hair—Medusa. It looked golden, but it felt alive. “This is my parting gift,” Thalia said, placing it around Lydia’s neck. “I can’t say goodbye at the garage—it’ll break me. So remember me until we meet again.”

Right under the hospital bed. Concrete pieces flew. From the darkness below, something went up. Not a hand. Not a human. A huge eye. It filled the hole almost completely. Black. With silver pupil. It blinked. Once. And looked right at Mara. Helena closed her eyes. Tears ran over her face. For the first time, she didn't seem powerful. It's just scared. And she whispered: “It recognized you. Run.

Elias said. “Breaths,” she said. “Not enough. I know. Do it anyway.” He nodded. “On it.” He left her with the card and the humming monitors. Lyra picked it up, thumb brushing over the plastic. Luna Hale. She imagined the name reading something else. Voss. Vale. Any of the titles being thrown around over drinks and war maps. Her stomach turned. She set the card down beside Aiden’s lab profile. Two proofs. One in pixels. One in cheap laminate.

The door clicked open and the three walked to the room, Hades, Monalisa and Jonas. "Monalisa, Where were you during the fight?"I asked her and she smiled at me warmly. "Good morning."She said and I groaned, "Have you forgotten that my mate is a Gamma?"She said and I rolled my eyes at her words. Monalisa and I walked to the balcony to breathe fresh air and left the men inside the room to talk about their stuff because I know they needed some privacy. "Hazel, we need your opinion on this."I heard Luciano say and I couldn't help but frown at his words. Monalisa and I walked back to the room to listen to what they were talking about.

I asked, “Luna… the Luna!” As his words registered into my head, I quickly stood up, “What did you say?” I asked desperately, hoping I didn’t hear him wrong, “she’s back!” he said after catching his breath. Wishing those words were not a lie, hoping they were not another trick to get me out of the office, I followed along, keeping the hope that this was the truth as I made my way out the office door and down the stairs and into the front yard, approaching the forest, feeling the familiar scent, I began to run and soon I come across a small figure, a woman’s figure, the shining light blue eyes like the deep blue sea that I yearned to see looked straight at me as tears began to envelop my eyes

They were hesitant, but slowly moved to let me take a look at her. Her lips were cracked but her hair was still neat. Her clothes had stains of Blood. It was a horrifying sight. And I suddenly broke down, not caring the pack members are looking at me. "Annabel...ANNABEL!" I cried. The 6 pack members shifted to their wolves and bowed to their Luna. I knew. I knew they needed to howl. "No. Don't. Stop! Don't!" I said in a hurry. They stopped in their tracks. They need to know Diana. They need to know Luna is dead. They mind-linked.
