Everyone stood around the outside of the circle holding their candles. Magenta stepped into the center of the circle. “Members of the Moon Shadow Pack, we are gathered tonight before the Moon Goddess, Selene, to humbly ask that Princess Brenna Sutton join the ranks of Luna among us.” Then she turned toward the moon and raised her arms. “Oh, Moon Goddess, I present to you Princess Brenna Sutton as a Potential Luna.” Magenta took the candle from me and stepped away. I took my place in the center of the stones, looked up at the moon, and lifted my hands. “Oh great Moon Goddess, I, Princess Brenna Sutton, humbly present myself to become your next Luna, if you so choose.”

Keondra's hands tightened in fists. How dare him!? Is the moon goddess punishing her? Because it felt like a punishment. Keondra looked up at the moon, it was a full moon. She suddenly felt like choking as she fell to the grass on one knee. Her hands quickly went to her throat as her eyes suddenly turned white, never leaving the moon. Red like tears dripped from her white eyes down her face. Her body starts to stir with an ancient, primal energy, as if the lunar cycle is awakening a deep-seated power that has long been dormant.

A black teardrop pendant hangs from her neck, glinting softly in the glow that envelops her. My heart skips a beat as realization dawns, and my knees buckle, pulling me to the floor. I fall, unable to keep myself upright as the weight of understanding crashes over me. This is the Moon Goddess. I’m on my knees, my shoulders shaking as I look up at her, tears blurring my vision. I can’t hold it back—the grief, the relief, the overwhelming feeling of finally being seen, known. Her voice is soft, filled with warmth and understanding. “Oh, honey.”

Kael replied. “Helpful explanation.” He gave her a small smile. “They tell the story of the Twenty Moons.” Luna ran her fingers across one of the glowing carvings. The moment she touched it, a powerful wave of energy rushed through her. Her vision exploded with light. Suddenly she wasn’t standing in the stone circle anymore. She was somewhere else. A massive sky stretched above her. Twenty enormous moons filled the darkness, glowing in different colors—silver, blue, violet, gold.

Even when practicing my shadow arts, “I’ve been busy…um…” It isn't working, not without shifting a bit more. The skin on my extended hand grows fainter, more pearlescent, more like the moon... “Ah, look at this,” The Moon Dragon draws our attention with her graceful movements as she slowly stands from her crouched position. My fluttering heart threatens to fly away on rapid wings as I hold my breath and brace myself for whatever is going to happen next. I wait for her to point at me, at my hand, but instead she lifts something heavy from the floor and holds it aloft.

The tray slipped from my fingers, dropping to the floor with a crash that reverberated throughout the entire house. A woman was standing in the doorway. Pearlescent skin. White hair. Silver eyes. The Moon Goddess took a step forward and smiled.

Hopeless. I close my eyes and focus on my essence of light. I push at it hard, separating as much of it as I can from my soul. I use my mental strength to push and gather it into my palm. As I open my eyes, I smile. My palm is as bright as my moon form. I drag a massive bowl towards me before picking up a knife. Beasts of fur and two legs, you will be. Beasts of the night and howlers to the Moon, you will be

"An old one. One I thought was just a legend." He sat me down on the edge of the bed. Pulled the furs up around my shoulders, covering my nakedness. His hands were gentle, but his face was grim. "The Shadow Bond," he said. "It's a curse that awakens when a fated mate bond is consummated under a blood moon." "A blood moon?" "Last night." Kai looked at the window. At the gray sky beyond. "The moon was red. I didn't think—I didn't realize—"

The only present that I could afford for her was this handmade pendant that was her name molded with metal wire, with a rose quartz shaped as a crescent Moon, fixed on the top of her name's last 'A'. Entering through the main gate, I made my way towards the garden when someone pulled my hair harshly and yanked it, causing me to fall on my back. I hissed in pain, rubbing my back. Neither I have to look up to know who that motherfucker is nor I have to tell you. "Get up, you useless piece of shit!" Her voice was filled with annoyance and extreme anger. Taking the support of the ground, I forced myself to get up to just be pushed against a wall by Mara, her canines extended. Her free hand quick

I inhale sharply, trying to steady the storm inside. "No, no, no," he breathes, like the words themselves are a lifeline. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I always asked the Moon Goddess for my mate, never thinking I had one, until I realised why it took so long." "Because I'm human?" I ask, the word tasting like doubt, never knowing that being human would feel like it's not good enough. "No," he says, eyes fierce and tender all at once. "Because you… are you."
