Luna Nightshade Novels & Stories

Two maids entered with trays of oils, makeup, and shoes. “We’ll help you get ready, Luna.” “I didn’t even get to rest,” Lydia mumbled. The maids chuckled. “Alpha Knox is already downstairs.” She sighed again and let them work. When she finally stepped down the winding staircase into the hall, the ceremony was already underway. Eyes turned toward her. Murmurs followed her like shadows. But then—there he was. Knox. Waiting in front of the Lycan ceremonial basin. He reached for her hand. They stood together under the hanging moonflower vines as the officiator chanted ancient words. They each dropped a few drops of blood into the silver bowl of water, drank from it, and then sealed it with a kis

I explain. “I don’t like it. It’s dangerous for her if she is some wolf out of a legend. I don’t like her being our Luna, either, but it is safer than the thought of her being the Mythic wolf,” Noah grumbles, running his fingers through his already disheveled brunette locs.

“What is happening here?” “This was the Luna Ceremony,” she explained. “A ritual the Nightshades held to honor the bond between an Alpha and his Luna. The Luna would shift and run into the woods, and her mate would find her in human form. It was a test of their bond, a reminder that no matter the form, their souls were always connected.” The scene shifted again, and we were in the woods. The Alpha stood alone, his expression tense as he searched for Celestine. But something felt off. He wasn’t running, wasn’t calling out for her. Instead, he seemed… hesitant.

“The Luna had something to do with it, I’m sure. From the information I got from my spy—before she killed him—the Luna had slowly been poisoning him. But my spy was caught and killed. She’s tightened security and strictly forbids your presence at the pack. She’s issued a kill-on-sight order—for both of us." That witch... I gritted my teeth. My eyes reddened, my veins popped out. “I swear she won’t get away with this.” “You need to act strategically, Dark. I’m in support of you—whenever you’re ready to attack,” Lady Havana assured. A knock came on the door, interrupting our discussion.

If I had my way, I would hide my Luna inside the room till they left. His wife too…this slut! Why was she staring at my wife's boobs like that? I could swear I saw her licking her lips. I would make sure that Landon and his wife would take the room at the far end of the pack. These days my Luna had been acting so strange, I did not need people tempting her and giving her mother watering offers. “So tell me, Nicholas. What have you been giving to our Luna, she looks so shiny and plump! I like what I'm seeing,” Riley asked me.

Three months later… It was a small gathering where I would be announced as a Luna of none, but Theo Tanner, the only man who truly understood me. “You look gorgeous, darling,” Theo whispered. He lightly kissed my cheeks, and a blush crept up my cheeks. The hall was filled with the entire Nightshade pack, and Leo addressed the crowd, holding my hand. Good evening everyone. As you all are aware, why have we gathered here, yet I wish to make it official that–I accept, the love of my life, Selene, as the Luna of the Nightshade Pack.

She knocked once before entering, and found Osmond seated behind his desk, who immediately turned towards her. “Papa,” she called cheerfully. “I’ve brought good news for all of us.” Osmond immediately rose from his chair. “What is it?” he asked, quickly walking over to Paige, who had already sat down on the sofa. “What good news?” Paige looked at Osmond with sparkling eyes. “I’m going to become Luna very soon.” Osmond froze for a moment, then asked with unmistakable enthusiasm, “What did you say?” A bright laugh spilled from Paige’s lips. Understanding Osmond’s shock, she explained, “Alpha asked if I would be willing to undergo the blood bond ritual and become his Luna.”

Some were relieved, while others were in tears as if a heavy stone had been lifted from their hearts. I happened to see Kathleen sitting among the wolves, grinning from ear to ear as she winked at me. I was just about to ask what she was grinning about when Lucien's voice rose again. "Nightshade," he said, "tonight is not only a night to solemnly pledge loyalty to Nightshade. Tonight, you will witness the binding of your Luna. The Luna of Nightshade." My breath caught. Kathleen's shriek of excitement barely registered in my ears.

"I'll remind you every day until you believe it." Kael Nightshade arrived three weeks into Luna's extended stay, riding through Silver Moon's gates with diplomatic papers and an easy confidence that made wolves instinctively relax around him. Tall, dark-haired, with storm-gray eyes that missed nothing. He was the Alpha of the Nightshade Pack and had come to discuss border agreements. But his eyes found Luna immediately, and I saw that spark—not mate bond, but something deeper. Interest? Or should I say intrigue? The kind of attention Luna wasn't used to receiving.

I call to my Luna, who immediately hurries to us as Ilisa runs through the door and locks into combat with Kammie. “Nightshade and wolfsbane.” Her eyes cloud over. “The doctors will have an antidote, don’t worry, Josin.” She says, placing her hand on his. I know she is doing the magic search she also did with Dorian, and then she nods with a small smile.
