I Swear By The Moon Novels & Stories

Their eyes met. Gold. Fierce. Afraid. For her. A word slammed into her mind with the force of a falling star. Mine. Her breath hitched. And deep inside her, something ancient opened its eyes. The pain surged— —and Lena screamed as the red moon burned her world into something new.

Deep down, my wolf urged me not to make such a vow, for it went against everything I ever wanted for myself. Why should I refuse it? What else is left for me? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Viktor made sure of that when he left. My chest tightened with something cold and unrecognizable, settling deep in the place my heart used to be. "I swear my sole allegiance to the Moon Goddess," I said, my voice quiet and final. "I swear I will never be led astray by love again. Never again." The moment I said those words, it felt like something in me just died. I spotted a smile bloom on the Head Priestess's face, sending a chill down my spine.

I cannot undo the past, Nor choose the will of others, But I can stand here, with every breath, And make my allegiance to you absolute. So, when the Moon rises full, And the ceremony binds our fates to destiny, Know that I do not merely mark you as Luna. I mark you as the center of my world, The axis around which all else rotates, The truth that tempers all lies. Iris, my bond to you is not ceremonial, It is visceral, eternal, and relentless. It is not given..it is chosen. It is not earned..it is inevitable. It is not fleeting…it is forever.

I said resolutely. Papa flashed me a proud smile and nodded with me. It was quiet for a moment, and I could tell that he was trying to figure out how to say something. I squeezed his hand reassuringly. I felt the tension in the room rise. I looked to Xander who looked at me with uncertainty. Whatever we were about to hear was not going to be good. “I was not supposed to present myself early, but the mission would fail if I did not. The Moon has grown impatient, a flaw of hers grounded in the misconception that she is the ultimate authority. Ezekiel made a deal with her, and she surely does love her deals.”

“I don’t care what it costs. I won’t let him fall.” The Moon Goddess’s lips curved into the faintest smile, sorrowful yet proud. “Then rise, Ivy of the broken and the brave. Your path awaits.” The silver glow around her brightened, spilling into the air, forming a trail of light that stretched across the mountains. Ivy stood, resolve hardening inside her chest, and began to follow.

A stirring of something ancient and primal. The full moon was rising, and I could feel its power calling to me. I was a werewolf, and I had done something. Something terrible. But what? As the moon rose higher in the sky, I felt my body begin to change. My senses grew sharper, my muscles stronger. And then, everything went black again. When I came to, I was standing in the middle of a forest, surrounded by trees that seemed to stretch up to the sky. The moon was still rising, casting a silver glow over everything.

“If you think I’m letting anyone hang dull brown banners for a divine mating celebration, you’re out of your mind. We’re talking moonlight, silver, maybe lilac—something that doesn’t look like a funeral!” Emry groaned from the steps where she sat with a basket of parchment Mirae had forced into her hands. “You realize I didn’t agree to a festival.” Mirae whirled, hands on her hips. “It’s not a festival; it’s a statement. You and Braxton are the first bonded pair blessed by the moon in generations. People need hope—and honestly, I need an excuse to boss people around again.” “You never need an excuse,” Emry muttered.

His tall figure cut through the air like a blade, and his voice carried easily as he grabbed the mic. “We all know this is what you came for,” Jayson said, smirking slightly. His eyes swept across the crowd like he was already picking out winners and losers. “Tonight’s game is simple: one Alpha, one skilled hunter, and one… let's just say, underdog.” There were a few scattered laughs and a lot of tense silence. I couldn’t tell if Jayson was trying to be clever or if there was something else behind his words. “The moon above us tonight is no ordinary moon,” he went on, his tone darker now. “It’s the Blood Moon. And under its light, the forest changes. The shadows twist. And the prey... is unl

"I am Xavier, a mutant vampire. Every week my dad give me one virgin girl so I stay here happy. Because this time it were two so I am not getting another one until next week. I have to save you. More important only this chain can stop me and when the moon has no light I am strongest and cruelest, I can kill the whole world that time. So make sure you die before it." He sipped on the glass of blood in his hand. He had a teasing smile trying to scare her. This was his only entertainment, scarring little girls but in reality, he has a very soft heart.

I would fight, fight with every ounce of strength in me, to break free from this unwanted bond. The moon shone down upon me, its pale light illuminating my tear-stained face. I raised my voice to the heavens, my words laced with defiance. "Moon goddess," I shouted, my voice trembling with rage, "you will not control my destiny. You will not force me into a loveless existence. I refuse to accept this mate, this life you have chosen for me."
