Lunar X Eclipse Novels & Stories

“So… what else did you learn?” He took a deep breath, as though preparing to unravel an ancient mystery. “Moonbound wolves are rare. So rare, in fact, that most packs dismiss their existence entirely. They’re born under extraordinary circumstances, and the Moon Goddess herself is said to witness their birth. It’s believed that Moonbounds are tied directly to her essence, which is why they possess unique abilities no other wolf has.” I sat down slowly, my knees feeling weak. “Unique abilities… like what? I mean I know that I have powers but I don’t know what are they except producing light from my hands.”

Lucian’s shadow deepened, stretching too far, too fast. The Crescent seared, making me stumble forward. Xavier caught me before I fell. “Separate them,” I whispered. He moved without question. Lucian stepped back first, instinctively, as if he felt the rupture too. While Artemis swayed. Her hand reached for him. And the moment their fingers brushed— The sky dimmed. The moon above blurred behind a veil of passing shadow. An eclipse without alignment. The Crescent across my skin flared so violently that I cried out.

He would devour him and shred him to pieces if he wished to. Lino growled, and the sound of it made Cassy purr. Not Cassy. Pax. Pax was closer to the surface than ever before. The moon. . .Cassy glanced at the sky. The Lunar Eclipse was minutes away. The closer it drew, the lesser control she had over herself. It was the same for the rest of the wolves surrounding her. Even Lino. Though, she wondered why he had come here instead. Perhaps he was in search of Eleanor.

Only this instance. Standing up and opening the huge wood window beside the bed lies a beautiful and perfect sky to watch. The dawn couldn't be this so mesmerizing. It was a lunar eclipse. I love the lunar eclipse. For me, it symbolizes our world. The situation we all are in. In life, we could be the moon. Glowing and shining in the dark. Yet there are times when our problems will stop us from shining just like the eclipse. Yet, we should bear in mind that it may take a while before it resolves, we will shine once more. Just like how the full moon will shine back when the eclipse would be over.

I placed my hand above his arm, rubbing to and fro, “I just wish we had more time, Elijah.” This afternoon, I had the bright idea of researching for the next astronomical event that might result in an eclipse. To my surprise, there’s one in the next three weeks. Experts expect a total lunar eclipse which might result in a red moon, hence ‘blood spilling in the sky’ as the story of Andrei and Irina’s love goes. No wonder Zwick and Hickman were killed on two consecutive days. Tauri is running out of time, or should I say they are working on schedule. While here I am, playing dates with Elijah, pretending and hoping life will stop for us.

“The two events I’ve attended here have been unforgettable. Are there any more celebrations coming up soon?” Dren glanced back slightly, his pace steady. “You’re quite fortunate, Luna. In two weeks’ time, we’ll be holding an eclipse festival. It’s a rare phenomenon and deeply sacred to our people.” “An eclipse?” I leaned in with genuine interest. “How do you usually celebrate it? Are there any specific rituals?” “Of course. We honour the eternal flame. The entire city puts out its lights and relies only on the glow of the crater and sacred torches in the arena. It’s the moment when the moon’s energy is believed to reach a turning point,” Dren explained.

She said, "Me neither." I replied, forcing a smile. "So, about my lilies, when are you going to have the maids plant them?" She questioned. "When Riel gets back, he will inform the maids." I answered. "Thank you Ducalion." The door creaked open and Riel stepped inside. "She said the next lunar eclipse should happen anytime from next month Alpha." Riel said. "That's not too long, this month is already almost over." I said.

All the information was driving me crazy. "Tomorrow is a solar eclipse. It will be an annular solar eclipse. It means, you are about to see many things tomorrow. If you really want to see what will happen in that house, you need to be in that house during the solar eclipse. This will answer your many questions." He answered my question and I nodded my head. It started to make sense. The solar eclipse was known to give powers to the dark magical and mythical creatures. And lunar eclipses were known to bound those powers with nature again. I finally understood the rush and excitement I was hearing around.

His cologne was so strong, I almost wanted to bury my face in his suit jacket. "Me too." He turned his attention towards me and gave me a lopsided smile. "Lunar eclipse." He mumbled soft but loud enough for me to hear. "What I have heard about it is that it is a time when we are forced to change inwardly. For example, If you've been longing for a relationship to improve by waiting for the other person to change, the lunar eclipse will present you with the facts; that you either need to accept the other person, or change yourself."

He stopped once in a while at stoplights to eat it and also to look at the decorations on every street for the festival. Ah! The Lunar Eclipse. It is very much celebrated here in Bulan compared to the Solar Eclipse, which they see as bad omen as the omega happened on a day like that. But today is a special day, it is the day that the moon princess will be offered to the Moon Goddess Mayari. People are hoping that Luna will receive a premonition or a prophecy about the future of the land as it is the first Lunar eclipse of the seventeenth year of the princess.
