Luna Rising Novels & Stories

They had made their choice. "They will be unmade," Mira said. "If they refuse to choose, yes." "Is there nothing we can do?" "We can keep the door open. That's all." --- Luna Rose sat in the garden, watching the new stars appear. Not falling—rising. Pinpricks of light spreading across the sky, steady and bright. "The Moon Goddess is pleased," she said. "How do you know?" "She is singing. Can you hear her?" I listened. The wind carried a faint hum, ancient and warm. The same lullaby I had sung to my children, to the Sleepers, to the wolves who had forgotten how to feel.

“It is me.” My father’s jaw dropped. I could not entirely suppress the snicker that escaped me. “No! No, no — I don’t know what this is—” he waggled a finger between the two of them “—but the council will never accept it!” Elara stepped up and looped an arm around Mandi’s shoulders. “You said it yourself, Daddy. It’s the law. By right, Louisa should be next in line — but she has taken her place as Luna of The Night Rising. That leaves me. And since my chosen mate just killed your Alpha-elect—” Elara beamed “—I’d say that makes us doubly qualified.”

It may not be obvious to anyone but me that she hopes us being alone together like this will lead to something. She’s been trying this for weeks now, ever since I got that damn letter from her father, Storm and my elders talked me into naming her as my Luna. They want an heir, and Linda is more than eager to provide me with one. Announcing a pregnancy at our upcoming mating ceremony would make for an excellent happily ever after. That’s the kind of thing that any good female dreams of as a little girl—a mate and a baby all wrapped up in one. “I can take care of myself.”

“I was bound here to maintain balance when the moons align. But the rising of the Moonfire calls for a Moonbearer strong enough to face what comes next.” The Awakening of the Moonfire As she spoke, the molten rift above began to pulse in synchronization with Luna’s heartbeat. Silver sparks danced against the golden flames, twisting into intricate patterns. Luna felt the Fallen Moon surge inside her, reacting to the Moonfire rising within the rift. Mira’s voice guided her. “Reach out, Luna. Let the moons merge with the Moonfire. Do not resist it.” Luna extended her hands. The moons’ energy intertwined with the molten currents, creating a harmony that had never existed. The firestorm above res

The way I believe in my own hands, which are stronger than they were, which have learned what they can build and what they can hold. Luna is seven months old. She has silver eyes and a loud voice and her father's stubborn jaw and a laugh that Mara says can be heard from across the pack grounds, which Mara says with enormous satisfaction. She has never been afraid of anything that I can tell. She arrived in the world furious and curious and has maintained both qualities consistently. She has two packs who know her name. The forest that borders her home glows silver at night, and the Moon Goddess's light is steady above it.

The celebration from the Luna Trials continued long into the night. Bonfires burned throughout Knox-Shade Pack and music echoed through the streets. Children ran between houses carrying silver ribbons and moonflowers. For the first time in many years, the pack had something worth celebrating. Not a victory in war or the defeat of an enemy, but the rise of a Luna. Inside her chamber, Aria sat quietly before the mirror. The room was empty except for her. Her fingers slowly touched the place on her wrist where the silver runes had appeared during the trial.

She scanned the titles. “Luna Rites and Sacred Law… Perfect.” She opened the heavy book. Her eyes moved quickly over the pages until she found what she wanted: “A Luna must be of noble ranking—or raised under the full guidance of a noble family before coronation.” Mara smiled. She could twist this. Easily. Elsa was not noble. Elsa was not trained. Elsa was not raised in a powerful home. With enough rumors… with enough people doubting… with enough pressure…

~Derek~ After texting James from Celina’s phone, I looked up to see her reading his reply. A warm smile bloomed on her face, and suddenly, my heart thudded inside my chest. So innocent and somehow familiar. As she looked up, her grayish blue eyes twinkling with childlike excitement, I froze. For a moment, another face, which was once the reason for my existence, overlapped with Luna Celina’s face. My breath hitched as I stared at the face that looked so similar to my Lily.
