Novel & Cerita Harvest Moon: A New Beginning Bachelor

The whole place was filled to the brim as the movie, ‘altar ego’ was being shown. Harmony sat next to her daughter who was beside Vivian. Next to Vivian was the director and other cast of the movie. Ichabod stood in a corner, standing where he could see Harmony. She was looking extraordinary and he was finding it difficult to believe that this lady wasn’t the same woman that he had married. What kind of trick was this? Still he tried to maintain his cool, he needed to plan how to get close to this woman, he needed to find a way to get close to her heart...again before the full moon.

I insist, just like I have for the past few days. The title still feels surreal to me. The honor I felt when Jaxon declared me as his Luna in front of everyone, the weight of what that means in this world, still takes my breath away. "There's a pack celebration coming up, Lu…Riley. The Harvest Moon Gathering," Katie says. "The Harvest Moon Gathering is our way of thanking the Goddess for another year of prosperity and protection," June explains. "It's a celebration of abundance and family bonds. This would be our first time holding it with a Luna present, and it would be such an honor to have you there."

I already know where this conversation is going. “The Harvest Moon Ball is next month, how wonderful.” “You’re both coming,” she says, looking directly at Adrian and me. Adrian nods easily. “Of course, it’s an important time for our packs.” My father leans back in his chair. “The Harvest Moon Ball is when fated bonds reveal themselves. Special time of year.” I roll my eyes slightly. As if we all didn’t know. “Dad.” “It’s tradition,” he replies calmly. My mother smiles softly. “Everyone’s been waiting to see if you two are fated mates.”

Henry went back into the grand hall to have breakfast with his family. Soon, the entire Dominic family sat around the golden dining table. Luna Ruth made her way downstairs, wearing a long white gown that swept the ground as she walked down the spiral staircase. She settled into her seat, alongside her husband and two daughters. Juliet was excited that she had found her mate, while Madelyn kept an expressionless face, as she hadn't found a mate yet. Juliet was eagerly waiting to introduce her mate to her father at the upcoming full wolf moon dancing festival.

I knew I had to hold myself together, to keep up appearances, but inside I was struggling. Susan’s voice broke my thoughts. “Leah, dear, we were just discussing the timing for the wedding. It seems like three weeks from now, there will be a full moon.” Susan beamed, her eyes warm and excited. “It’s such a perfect symbol, you know. A time of strength, unity…just imagine, a night like that to mark the beginning of your life together.”

I was thinking, but he went again. “Allow me rephrase that,” he said. “I know you have been feeling the pull of the moon lately.” “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Nick.” “The moon spirits have chosen you to be the new Luna, Mona.” The announcement took me by surprise. “I’m gonna be the what?!” “You will be the new Luna and with Dominic as the alpha and both of you as fated mates, Marcus is gonna lose you eventually.” “You’re talking nonsense, Nick. I can’t be the new Luna. I don’t wanna be the new Luna and I don’t want Dominic Blaise.”

Ethan dragged me back up to the bedroom where the books were and we sat on the bed going through all of them, trying to find out whatever we could about this ‘Harvest’ thing. “If he doesn’t complete it then he has to wait another 25 years.” Ethan said. “Yeah. But you’re missing something here. It doesn’t say which full moon. There’s a full moon every month. Which one does he need to do ‘The Harvest’? And Nicole died only 2 years ago. Not 25 years ago.” I said.

As soon as I finished putting the ring in his finger, the light of the blue moon filled the stage where Kayden and I were standing. The Moon Goddess is watching you. Hena my wolf said. "By the grace of our Moon Goddess, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. We have the new Luna!" The elder shouted that causes everyone to cheer for us. "Alpha you may kiss your mate and do the run." He said before leaving us in stage. "I wanted for this." Kayden said. "Shut up and kiss me." I said.

He continues. “They also sound a lot less terrifying.” I chortle. “Very true!” He laughs with agreement. “The Moon Ceremony is on the blood moon. They also call it the hunter’s moon. It’s also being held at the Kingdom of the Moon. So you will not have to travel far.” He continues. “Yes. Then I come and get you to go to our new home. I should be back a few days after the moon ceremony.” I say confidently. A small waver in my voice betrays my fear.

The day before the wedding, Chad's buddy dragged him off, claiming to hold a bachelor party for him. That night, Sadie and Josie were the only ones left in the villa. Josie served Sadie a glass of milk with a smile. "Tomorrow is your wedding, Sadie. Chad reminded me to get you a glass of milk to help you sleep better." Despite knowing the truth, Sadie still felt a sharp pain in her heart as she watched everything unfold right in front of her. Chad was not willing to dirty his hands for the last time, so he got someone else to do the work for him.
