Halo: The Mona Lisa Novelas e Histórias

Hazel Moore. Days are blending together like a blur. I'm sitting in my room when a maid calls me for dinner, her voice a distant echo through the hollow silence that surrounds me. Morana has been officially titled as the Luna of the pack, and she's back to herself. I should be happy for her, and I am. But that happiness is overshadowed by the darkness that clings to me. My wolf stopped talking to me as well.

Director Harlow, silver-haired, aristocratic features frozen in an expression of disbelief as he turned to face the intruders. "Impossible," he whispered, his gaze fixing on Maya's glowing form. "The suppression fields…”

I won’t give them the satisfaction of seeing fear crawl across my skin. A low murmur ripples through the crowd when I lift my chin higher. Let them look. Let them wonder if the traitor’s daughter still has enough bite to scar a king. “This one,” the auctioneer croons, voice dripping honey and poison, “is pure-blooded from the old Moonglade line. Untouched. Spirited. A Luna, if broken properly.” A thick chuckle rumbles somewhere to my left. A wolf in a velvet coat runs his tongue along his teeth like he’s already tasted me.

​Lagos didn't rise to meet them; it exploded into view—a sprawling masterpiece of lights, heat, and hidden depths. ​In the pilot’s seat, Leo Vane sat with his hands hovering over the haptic controls, his face illuminated by the blue light of the navigation array. Beside him, Maya was a shadow of pure focus, her fingers dancing across a holographic keyboard as she fought a silent war against the regional defense grid.

MADDOX I laid there and watched my mate sleep. I dared not move in case I woke her. I'm surprised it took her as long as it did to break down. I had known it was coming, no one could have gone through what she had the last few days and not have cracked. I was beginning to understand why the Moon Goddess had paired me with her. Her undeniable reliance and strength, outshone my own. She would be the perfect Luna for the White Claw pack, and probably far more than what I deserved in a mate.

Mira, Elda, the twins, and I turned on the others, cutting them down individually until only Halo remained. We gathered in a semicircle, watching Holly and Halo fight with unrestrained rage. “Why, Halo?!” Holly roared. “Why did you do all this?!” “Because he rejected me!” Halo’s scream split the night. “He rejected me and chose that pathetic woman as his Luna! And to make it worse, she was his second chance mate! Why does he get happiness while I get nothing?!” Her tears glistened, though her voice was soaked in venom.

I shook my head and she looked at Imelda “I was just catching up with Jade” Imelda answered causing Eliana’s brow to shoot up as her head jerked back in surprise “Have you lost your mind? It’s Luna to you not Jade” Eliana corrected harshly “Right, my bad. Luna” Imelda said with an underlying sarcasm “Leave,” Eliana ordered and she left with Linda. Eliana turned to me “What was that disrespect? Is she bothering you?” I shook my head “No she’s not” My voice came out low, not very convincing.

One older man pressed his fist to his heart and bowed his head and I’d to look slightly away because if I held that image too long I would feel something, and feeling things in this room was not something I could afford yet. Lira stood to the side of the room and watched the whole thing with those flat grey eyes and when our gazes met she gave me a smile so precise it could have been measured with a ruler. I smiled back the same way anyway. That night, I sat at the dinner table for the first time as Luna. The food was extraordinary. Course after course of things I’d not tasted in years—real meat, fresh bread, fruit that hadn’t been rationed or preserved. I ate slowly and moderately and notic

"Pheromones don't lie, want to sleep with me again, Azalea?" My heart raced as the man closed the distance between our faces, leaving me only able to see his hazelnut eyes, sharp yet beautiful, while his lips were less than a centimeter away from mine. Closer and closer. I closed my eyes nervously, as if his gaze was dangerous. Then... Nothing happened... "You can open your eyes now," said Ikaros, followed by a mocking laugh.

"They're half-animals after all, we can't deny that. Selena! Are you still there?" "Yes, I'm still here listening to your conversation. What is it, Ravijojla?" A voice answered Ravijojla's question softly. From the origin of the voice emerged a woman wearing a white dress with a crescent moon mark on her forehead "I think your Luna should return to his family. We have finished talking." "Come on, Edith. We have to go back!"
