Lighthouse Lullaby Novels & Stories

Lara recalled the cluster of security men converging on the helipad, blurred glimpses of an incredibly large white villa, and heat that only increased the nonstop pounding behind her temples. Jet lag had finally caught up with her. A rueful grimace slanted her face as she gingerly slid out of bed to gratefully appreciate that the ground beneath her feet was no longer rocking. It was dark outside. Locating the bedside light, Lara glanced at her watch. “8 pm… Are you kidding me?” The housekeeper, at least Lara assumed the warm, matronly woman who had come to her assistance was the housekeeper, had been a merciful savior. She had taken charge, banishing Christophe and helping Lara to bed.

Christos led the trio around the corner at the end of the corridor into an underground aqueduct. It was used as a way to bring goods in and out without being seen. Christos went to the row of boats and began untying all of them. He pushed all but one of them out into the flowing water and motioned for Amaris and Lyle to get into the last one. It was a gondola. There were not many of these to be found here since the island was so small and there were no canals for them to be used in. Christos moved to the back of the narrow boat and grabbed the forcola and began to propel the tiny boat in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel. The opening was opaque and it was impossible to see where they

There was this uneasiness in my heart and a burn in my wound. “Erin White?” the receptionist calls my name. I got up from my place and went inside the office. As I open the door, a mixed fragrance of jasmine and woods strike my nostrils. It lightens my mood and anxiety. My gaze meets with a pair of angelic blue orbs that are shining like sun rays in water. “Hello, Erin! I am Light. How are you? Please take a seat.” he gestures to me to sit. “I am physically fine but mentally, a total mess.” I smiled slightly at him.

"I want to make a moon lighthouse." "A lighthouse?" "One that really lights up!" Lily put down her bowl and gestured with her little hands. "When it's super dark at night, boats get lost on the ocean. But when the lighthouse turns on, they know which way home is. I want to put a tiny light at the very top. That way..." She leaned in like she was sharing a top-secret mission. "...That way, no matter how far away Mommy goes, you'll always be able to see home."

“Iris, I am so sorry I came too late. I let you suffer. You have to stay strong! Please, you can’t leave me!” I looked at her tear-rimmed eyes, wanting nothing more than to reach up and wipe away her tears, but the encroaching darkness completely swallowed my vision. Even as my inner wolf roared fiercely, desperate to stand up, my eyelids felt as heavy as lead. No matter how much force I exerted, I could no longer open my eyes. Even the restless pup inside my womb grew completely, utterly still. My hand slipped down weakly, my vision blurring into nothingness.

"...it would mean we had already failed." Silence settled over the room. No one argued. Because every person present carried some responsibility for how they had arrived there. Lydia walked towards the old lighthouse window. The beacon above had begun rotating once again after the emergency generator restored power. Its light swept across the Atlantic. Back and forth. Back and forth. She smiled faintly. "My mother used to tell me something." Amara looked at her. "What?" "'A lighthouse does not chase ships.'" "It simply refuses to stop shining."

She directed that energy into the lighthouse’s core. “Down,” she commanded. The island groaned. Massive plates of steel slid over the windows. The entire rock began to tilt and sink. Above them, the ocean rushed in, covering the glass crown of the tower. The silver light flared, creating a shimmering bubble around the island that blocked the Nullifiers’ sensors. On the surface, the three warships arrived at the coordinates. They found nothing but empty, dark water and a thick mist. Deep beneath the sea, the lighthouse stayed silent and glowing. Faith sat on the floor, her head resting on Killian’s lap. She was exhausted, but she was smiling.

He also knows how to get tired, and it will be even more peaceful when I rest near the person I love the most. The curtains had not yet been drawn, revealing a view of the night sky. The bright moonlight is no longer lonely because it is surrounded by the company of twinkling stars. And those starlights are no longer easily obscured by the noisy lights because it has embraced a gentle full moon, enough to illuminate and give it an area to remember. The moon and stars illuminate the world, cover life with a warm light, and cherish in the heart a passionate love. How many things have gone through, is far away, is life and death, but looking back, love is still as beautiful as the day it just

Moonlight poured across the large space, illuminating the crisp white of the wardrobe, the oil paintings of ships at sea and lighthouses, and the light blue paint that decorated the walls. It also illuminated Katherine's laptop case, which she had mistakenly left on the kitchen table earlier that day. Katherine's mind suddenly lighted on an idea, and she got out of bed as quietly as possible, tiptoeing over to the laptop case. She pulled her laptop out, opened it and turned it on, all the while silently praying that she would find what she was looking for and that no one was awake to stop her from achieving success in her self-imposed mission. Once her laptop was booted up, she turned on the

The sky above Moonstone Hollow erupted in a spectacular display of magical lights, dancing and twirling in patterns that left everyone breathless. As the light show continued, I noticed Lily cornering a group of my pack members, her eyes alight with excitement. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard her quickly explaining her newest magical research. The mix of interest and a bit of confusion on my pack faces was something anyone who had listened to one of Lily's excited talks would recognize.
