Kny Upper Moons Novels & Stories

"The ritual is almost complete. Once the moon turns full crimson, the Oracle's blood will unlock the cage forever." Silas opened his eyes. They weren't silver or blue anymore they were empty white voids. "Kill... me..." he choked out, the words barely a whisper. "Sera... Kael... kill me before I kill you." Kaelen straightened his back, pushing away from Sera. He forced his body to stand tall, his Alpha presence flaring one last time. "Let him go. Take me instead. My soul is stronger." "Your soul is tied to hers," the First-Born laughed. "If I take you, I take her. That is the beauty of the tether. You did my work for me, Kaelen Thorne."

Tiny diamonds formed a ring of stars, cradling a silver crescent in the center. My breathing stopped. I had sketched that design when I was fifteen, in the corner of my old sketchbook. The day Ryan confessed to me, he had pointed at that drawing, his voice shaking. “Jane, one day when I have money, I’ll make this for you. “Stars always stay beside the moon. “Just like I’ll never break my promise to you.” Now he had finally made it. He just put it on someone else. On screen, Wendy touched the pendant at her collarbone and smiled shyly.

Thankfully, I had become fond of them so it was never awkward for me to walk naked before them. “How do you feel about being the new Luna, My Lady?” One of them smiled while brushing the sole of my left foot. “Well, I feel honored and grateful to the moon goddess, the members of the pack, and the Alpha himself. Everyone played a part in the forthcoming union, and I feel so honored and grateful to every single member of the pack.” “Oh, My Lady, I assure you that Raven Pack is about to meet her best Luna. I’m also very certain that you are that Luna whether or not you believe it.”

As though my pain was just a lesson for the pack to learn. "If the Moon Goddess made a mistake," a voice called out, "then maybe the mistake isn't the bond." The hall went quiet. I looked toward the voice. It was an older wolf, one of the pack elders. His name was Marcus too, I remembered. The irony wasn't lost on me. "What do you mean?" the Alpha asked. The elder turned and looked directly at me. "Maybe the mistake was choosing the wrong mate. Maybe the Moon Goddess intended for someone else to be Alpha Ryker's Luna."

--- Chapter Nine: The Blood Moon Rising The weight of the night was oppressive. The moon, now full and glowing red, hung low in the sky like a judgment, casting long, eerie shadows over the forest. It was a Blood Moon—a rare celestial event that Aria had only heard about in whispered legends. But she hadn’t known how much darker and more dangerous it would feel until it was right above her. She stood on the balcony of Kade’s cabin, her fingers gripping the railing, eyes fixed on the crimson moon. Something about it called to her. It felt as if it was alive, aware, watching her—waiting.

The door slamming in the distance snapped me from my restless slumber, snapping my head up, I caught a glimmer in the distance as they approached me. The knife glaring in the man’s hand was easy to identify once he was close enough and even though his face remained concealed the tattoo wrapped around his wrist was clearly visible. The eight phases of the moon. A symbol of enlightenment and darkness, immortality and eternity. It was beautiful, nature’s very own yin-yang. “Good Afternoon, Goddess Selene.” Dark greeted me with a sinister smirk on his face, to which I responded with a flat look.

••• Kyson’s POV ••• I couldn't take my eyes off the Moon Goddess as she twirled and disappeared in front of everyone. “Hey, keep your eyes to yourself!” Night suddenly yelled in my mind. I rolled my eyes at him. “Why can't I watch the Moon Goddess?” “We have a mate! I’ll poke your eyes out if she gets jealous!” he retorted angrily. What the heck? Is there something wrong with his brain?! The Moon Goddess is our Mother, for fuck sake!

The air in the Maw didn’t just grow cold, it became thin, as if the mountain itself were gasping, outside, the Blood Moon had reached its zenith, casting a bruised, rhythmic crimson light through every fissure and vent in the stone, it wasn't just a celestial event, it was a cosmic siphon, Kaelen was using the Lunar Cult’s forbidden Tides to pull the child toward the surface, dragging the heir out of the dark before it was ready to be born.

Dawn of the full moon ceremony arrived with expectation hanging in the air. I watched the sun rise from my window, mentally preparing for what lay ahead. Today would be pivotal—for me, for Raymond, for the entire pack. I could feel it in my bones. I prepared meticulously, knowing all eyes would be watching my performance as Luna. Beneath my ceremonial robes—midnight blue with silver embroidery depicting moon phases—I wore Kane's protective clothing, with the silver dagger secured against my thigh and my special cane within reach. I styled my hair to leave the silver crescent visible, a deliberate statement that would fuel whispers already spreading through the pack.
