I Promised You The Moon Novels & Stories

She says to me, and I can't help but get worried on her behalf. I wondered what I had done to deserve this level of love from her. She was serving me with everything she had got, and I was tempted to personally get a lover for her, but I didn't even know where to start. I looked around me and I couldn't even find a man that deserved her heart. "The moon goddess will give you your own mate I promise you. I will miss you, but it will be worth it because I will be happy that you are safe in someone's arms." I said to her and she smiled. Later that evening, I decided to personally take a walk to the garden myself but she decided to follow me.

His mouth was by my ear and he whispered to me, “Promise me that you will come back to me.” I honestly didn’t know if this was a promise I could make to him even though it was what I wanted. I had no clue what awaited me back at Moon Star but I knew I would do everything in my power to come back to him. Knowing he needed to hear me promise I said to him, “I promise I will do everything in my power to return to you.”

I shut my eyes against the memory of her—Clementine’s reckless grin, the way she’d stormed the world with fists full of daylight and my jaw tightened until the ache spread down my neck. “I promise you, Moonlight,” I said, my voice low and steady, every syllable a vow hammered in cold iron. I let my fingers tighten on his shoulder. “They will pay.” I looked back at the fur, at the flowers pressed against it like pale flags. The moon hung fat and patient above us, witnessing. “Every single one of them,” I finished, and the words dropped into the night like a seed meant to grow into something terrible and true. The air seemed to listen. The pack held its breath. And in that silence, the promise

‘ “If what you say is right, if love can truly overcome the mate bond, then wait for me, Laurel. When I come back, I will truly make you mine. There will be no more hiding in the shadows. The pack will have their Luna.” “You promise?” “Yes, I promise.” ‘ I had promised to make Laurel my Luna. Moon Goddess, please, I beg of you, let me fulfil that promise. I do not want any mate, I do not care for anyone else. Please, I beg of you, let Laurel be alive… I reach the door. And with a trembling hand, I push it open.

“What, you broke them!” “I’m not telling you everything we did! But yes…you may not have a bed at this point. Which is all the more reason to celebrate your new mate!” and I rolled my eyes at her giggles. “When the moon wore off and he left he made me promise not to fall for him. That this was a one-time bit of full moon crazy.” “So where are you guys now? Is it all over? It can’t be surely?”

I will not be held accountable for a promise I made before I had found my fated mate, before I had found what was mine…as destined by the moon goddess herself. I will not give her up.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Our moon. Watching over us like it always has.” Her hand brushed against mine. I didn’t move. Every part of me screamed to pull away, but I couldn’t risk it. Not when she still believed I thought she was Liz. She stepped closer. “Are you ready?” I forced the words out. “I am.” She smiled, pleased, and lifted her chin. “Then let us speak our promise before the moon.” I swallowed down the bile in my throat. The words tasted wrong on my tongue, but I said them anyway.

If I hadn’t been so scared I would’ve found it hilarious. “I – I can’t right now. The moon has to be full,” I blagged desperately, praying with every fibre of my being that he’d believe it. The full moon was only a few days away, but that was a few days I didn’t currently have. Any time I could buy myself was better than nothing. “You never mentioned that before,” he said, his brow furrowing. I lifted my chin. “I needed to be sure of your intentions. And, as you said, you kept your word to me. No matter your plans for the rest of the world,” I gulped, “I know your vow can be trusted.”

They left, locking the door behind them again. I waited until their footsteps faded, then smiled. They had heard my howl and thought it came from something in the forest. They could not imagine that it came from me. Perfect. I returned to the window and looked out at the moon. Tomorrow night was the full moon gathering. Tomorrow night, everything would change. I pressed my hand against the glass and whispered a promise to the broken girl I used to be. “They will pay. Every single one of them. I swear it.” The moon seemed to glow brighter, as if in approval.

My core burned in anticipation. “I’ll fuck you to The Moon and back, Rabbit,” he promised and threatened in a single breath. Moon help me. I so wanted to be fucked until I saw the stars. But I needed more. “You’ll have to do better than that. Sweeten the pot and make this deal worthwhile. I don’t need your cock,” I lied through my teeth.
