Luna And Jupiter Novels & Stories

"If this is a joke ... it's disgusting." I looked up, searching his gray-brown eyes for even the smallest hint that he was kidding. But all I saw was calm, like everything he said was normal. "Sorry, Lane." He didn't even pull his arm away from my waist. His fingers traced the skin that had just been shaking under him. "But don't worry. No matter what, you'll always be my first Luna. Your status, your honor—none of that will change." First Luna? I shoved his hand away, like I was shaking off a cold, venomous snake.

Lyra's POV I barely remembered leaving the hall after Darius refused to answer my question. The stares followed me the entire way some wolves pretended not to watch, but I could feel their eyes on my back others didn't bother hiding their curiosity at all. The Luna had returned after a year of exile, only to discover another woman wearing her necklace and standing at her mate's side. It was exactly the kind of story people whispered about when they thought nobody was listening.

The sun-orchids glowed with a faint, bioluminescent light, casting a golden hue over the stone pathways. "They're growing up so fast, Leo," Luna murmured, looking up at the clear starlight. "Sometimes, when I look at Talia, I see Mother standing there, ready to change the world." "And Aidan has Father's stubborn determination," Leo laughed softly, his eyes reflecting the distant stars. "We did it, Luna. We kept the foundation solid. The cycle didn't break." "It won't break," Luna said with absolute certainty, wrapping her arm through his. "Because we aren't teaching them how to be rulers. We are teaching them how to serve."

Lydia said. He turned instantly, a flash of relief crossing his face. “Lydia.” She stepped beside him and slid her hand into the crook of his arm. “Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to keep my Alpha waiting.” Nina’s smile faltered. “And you are?” “I’m Lydia,” she said sweetly. “Knox’s mate. His Luna. I think you’ve heard of me—or is something else the matter?” There was a pause—thick, uncomfortable silence as the word Luna settled into the space between them.

His hand shot up, grabbing a fistful of my hair and yanking it hard enough to make me cry out. “Wrong?!” he spat, his breath hot against my face. “Nothing is right anymore, you worthless slave! Do you think you can just waltz your way into my life, into my position, and turn yourself into my Luna?!” His words hit me like a slap to the face. My mind reeled, trying to comprehend what he was saying. Turn into his Luna? Me? “W-what are you talking about?” I managed to choke out, tears brimming in my eyes.

“The Luna is nowhere to be found” “What?”

Aiden muttered, throwing me a glance that screamed behave. "Anyway, today we're going to talk about the Luna ceremony," he continued, fidgeting through some papers as if he had some kind of scandalous secret hidden among them. Luna ceremony?" I blurted, my heart plummeting. I thought I knew what it was, but deep down, I so wished I was wrong. "Er. you know, the ceremony or bonding between the Luna and her Alpha," Elder Marbel said, half-heartedly as if she'd just discovered a damp sock in her wash.

And if he did, did he ever try to stop them? Brianne gave me that pitiful smile again. “Only you would be kind enough to say such a thing Luna. I wonder if your opinion will change when I’ve finally starts hitting you too.” I started to protest that James would never do that but she cut me off. “I heard you have a meeting with the elders of the Council soon.” She said and I nodded. “Well let me give you a little piece of advice then. As soon as possible, let him go. Give him to her before its too late. No one, not even a Luna can ever come between two fated mates. It’s the will of the goddess.”

He said. "Adrian." I said his name as a sigh and a curse. "I love you, and I'm glad you're trying to keep me happy and all, but this is pack business. I don't want you to hide anything from me. I am the Luna; if I can't be trusted to know anything, what is the point?" I said, "It's not that I don't trust you." The look in his eyes was one of fear and heartache. I think he thought I was going to pull away from him again and things would be like they were before.
