Be fast and get the ingredients, we will be needing more than usual because tomorrow is the blood moon festival. You have to be up as early as possible to get everything prepared. You know how important this event is to the pack and the important Alphas that would be in attendance, so you can't be sluggish. Now move it," she informed me as I stumbled forward with a nod.

“This is crazy, Kira. You are discussing fairy tales and folklore. Luna? What on earth is meant by that? Kira didn't recoil.

Now that I could see it, the mark appeared to be pulsing with its own life. A dark, whirling crescent with jagged edges that felt like they were burning into my flesh. My heart started racing in ways I couldn't comprehend since the ragged pattern was exactly the same as the one on her phone. I stared at the symbol, feeling as though the blood was dripping from my face.

"Remember to take the potion an hour before the ceremony. It will completely change your wolf's signature." I nodded, clutching the small vial in my hand. On the eve of the ceremony, I stood before a full-length mirror. Wearing the white gown made of moon-thread, I looked like the perfect Luna. Elegant, noble, full of hope. But only I knew that this was the last time the woman named Cressida would appear in any mirror. Tomorrow, she would fall into the sea and disappear forever. And this sham of a Mating Ceremony would finally be over.

After all, she's soon-to-be 'Blood Moon Pack' Luna and the mother of our future alpha. I'm pretty sure that it's not going to be hard for me to have some pups from such wonderful and beautiful mates as soon as we want. Isn't it my love? ''

, a raised dais beckoned, adorned with ancient symbols etched into the stone panels. The Lunar's crest, a stylized crescent moon, shone prominently.Reid, the Alpha, stood tall, his presence commanding attention. His eyes gleamed with pride as he surveyed the gathering.Ariella, resplendent in her ceremonial attire, stood beside him. Her hair, woven with wildflowers, cascaded down her back like a river of night.The pack's elders, Elara and Thane, flanked the pair, their faces stern. They held ancient artifacts, passed down through generations.Keeran raised his hands, and the chatter ceased. "By the light of the moon, we gather to witness the ascension of Ariella, Lunar of the Bluefur Pack."Ela

He asked and I sighed. “Well, it working. I guess the moon goddess is working in our favor.” “But isn’t it supposed to stop working at some point?” I did hear that it was supposed to stop after a few days but it had been this way for 4 days now.

The savior, whom they called the Moon Goddess, had silver hair, ended the war with the demons, and then disappeared for 500 years.

I noticed Alex uncross his arms, clenching his fists tightly by his sides. "Watch your mouth, boy." Alex warns. Still, Lucas shrugged, turning his back to Alex as he spoke to the crowd.

Light rose above the stone, forming an image. She stood beside Lycus at the Moon Shrine, their wrists bound with a silver vow-band glowing in the moonlight. When the band sealed, he kissed her. The image froze there, with his hand on her cheek, her smile triumphant. The mark in the corner read: last night. A second image appeared. Sandra sat in an ornate chamber, holding up a pendant.
