Harvest Moon Novels & Stories

“You and Lucian have been married a year now. I'm not pushing, but I expect to see some little ones running around the house in the next year or two.” I froze, the air leaving my lungs. I didn't know where to look. Carlie beamed at me, her eyes warm. “He's right, dear. I had Lucian when I was your age. You should start preparing. Actually, I have something for you.” She reached into a bag and pulled out a bundle of dried, silver-tinged leaves. “This is Moon-Sere Herb. It's a traditional tonic to strengthen the female body for a pup. You look a bit pale, Nadia. Start taking this every day, and you'll get your strength back soon.”

My Alpha mate, Kane, finally reached out through the mind-link after three days of me not showing up at his door to make a scene. His voice cut into my head, carrying a rare trace of satisfaction. "Looks like you finally understand that the rules of the Blackwood Pack aren't just for show. Since you've learned your lesson, I'll give you the pass to the healing springs. And stop making a fuss over every little thing where Selena's concerned." I didn't answer. Just looked down at the bloodstains still dried between my thighs. Kane probably thought I'd finally learned to obey. Learned to bow my head to him and Selena. No one believed that I, as Luna, had to apply to Beta Selena just to use the

I was taking a sip of wine and I spit it back into my glass after his question. “What is this Harvest Moon Festival anyway?” I said, quickly changing the subject. No way was I going to lose to Tyler. I could not let Derek say Jessica’s name five times. Not this early into dinner. I did not want to make out with him again. “Uh,” Derek gave me a confused look, but answered my question anyway. “It’s basically like a school dance, but for everyone in the town. It’s a great way for singles to meet potential mates. I mean, dates,” Derek quickly took a sip of wine.

Each of them held large woven baskets filled with fresh produce. Bright red apples,Bundles of leafy vegetables, Carrots still dusted with soil. And small cloth bags filled with herbs that filled the room with a pleasant scent. The moment they saw me, they bowed respectfully. “Luna.” “You didn’t have to wait,” I said warmly. “It’s our honor,” one of them replied. I stepped closer to the baskets, admiring the harvest. They had done beautiful work. This was an old tradition in Blood Moon. Whenever the farmland produced the first harvest of the season, it was brought to the Luna before anyone else consumed it.

It made her angry every time she saw Mira laughing in the town square or helping at the bakery. The Harvest Festival was the town's biggest event each year. It happened in the fall, when the leaves turned red and gold. People came from nearby villages to join in. The streets filled with wooden stalls selling apples, pies, and handmade crafts. Musicians played fast songs on violins and drums, making feet tap and bodies sway. Kids ran around with sticky faces from candy, and couples held hands under strings of paper lanterns that lit up at night. The air smelled like smoke from bonfires, fresh bread, and spiced cider. Laughter echoed everywhere, and for one day, everyone forgot their worries.

"If you are seeing this. It means your mother has successfully joined with the Core. It also means you have survived the test of your life." Junes blood ran cold. "He is still alive. He is, on the Moon." The 'Harvest' was never about food, June her father said, his eyes crinkling with a kindness that made her feel uneasy. The Harvest was a recruitment drive he explained. They needed a Hive to fight the war that was coming from the stars.. They needed a General who knew how to heal a broken army a General who could fix the damage. The video showed a fleet of ships. Ships, not alien ships. Leaving the Moon. These ships were black and shaped like knives and they were heading straight for Earth.

Ameliah asked…. He continued staring at his palm, there was a crescent carved on it. He showed it to Ameliah who stared at it confused… “What’s that thing?” Ameliah asked… “This signifies that the blue moon is near. When this crescent that’s carved in my palm will be full that’s the day of the blue moon” He explained. Ameliah stared at him with a surprise expression. She cupped his cheeks which made him to look at her… “Everything will be fine Stephen, you’ll save your people. I have faith in you” Ameliah said..

She just wanted to make sure that everyone there was someone she trusted, and that there was no one unfamiliar to her. That was her only chance to make a good plan and help Selena. So she couldn't make any mistakes. After ensuring everything was fine, she looked at Clifford again, since he was in front of her. "All of you know that tale about the Full Moon, right?" A lot of them nodded in agreement, but a few others remained still, like they had no idea of what she was talking about. "Ah, of course." Grandma pat her forehead. "I forgot there was some humans among us tonight." she smiled at the group that didn't know about the story.

The sight that befell Cilyna and Kaynon as they reached the side of the mountain had Cilyna staring in astonishment. An older woman with hip length silver hair sat cross legged in the center of a salt circle. There was no wind blowing through the trees, yet her hair was flowing all around her as if she had stuck her finger in a light socket though gently swaying to her soft siren chant. The setting sun was her spotlight and the small dust like particles floating in the air looked like glitter. The scene had a Disney magic feel to it.

"Don't remind me, yesterday was the first time I saw you in control. Your wolf didn't want to kill him" "Ivan is my childhood friend, I won't kill him. I was just mad" Skylar mumbled. Shailyn poked her arm. "Why are you rouse, pup?" "Do you know what a blue moon is?" She consulted, staring at Shailyn, watched as the fairy nodded. "A red moon represent the rise and fall of the Lycan Alpha King, a blue moon represent the rise of the King's Queen, Luna of all magical creatures" Skylar fluttered her eyes, frowning in complication. "I don't get it"
