Lunatics Novels & Stories

Chapter 40 – Flushing out a Disease Part 1 Ariven and I left the meeting room shortly after forming a plan to flush out Lupus and his Soulless and destroy as much of them as we can. For Rogues not yet turned Soulless, we will take them into holding cells and evaluate their mental, physical, and emotional state and help them find new packs to join or accept them into Hidden Claws, Blood Moon or Silver Crystal Cresent. Amberle even called a few Allies in Harvest Willow and Glacier to see if they could use new members once this operation is over. They both thankfully said yes and to inform them when these wolves are ready.

He was confident of the fact that whatever they were waiting for along the river will reveal itself. “Who are they? What are they?” Chastine’s brows curled down out of curiosity. “Well, while waiting for them, do you know they only gather and show up every new moon?” Chastine grew even more curious at what Juste was saying. He continued, “they mark the start and end of the lunation cycle.” “Lunation?” “Yes. A lunation is the cycle of the moon, starting at a new moon phase and ending at a new moon phase. Haha, somehow these fellas know how to hunt during those times. Cool instinct, huh?”

Ivy stared at the three people in front of her, confusion etched across her face. “Were you even listening to what I said?” Haeon cleared his throat, snapping the other two out of their daze. “It’s not that we weren’t listening, it’s just—” “What you said is absolutely insane, Ivy,” Luna cut in, her tone filled with disbelief. “Honestly, I don’t know if what you just told us is some bizarre dream you had or something that actually happened to you.”

When I open them, Luke is still watching me, waiting. "I need to get my bags," I whisper into the phone. "Luke will take care of everything. Just come to me." This man has always been able to turn my rational mind into chaos. He makes me forget who I am, forget what I want, forget every promise I've made to myself. I hand the phone back to Luke without another word and follow him toward the Range Rover. My legs feel like they're made of water, but I keep walking. I'm such an idiot.

The lantern light danced along the blade. “It’s ancient,” he said. “Hundreds of years old. One of my family’s ceremonial tools. We use it to bind new members into the Blue Moon Pack.” Lydia’s heart began to pound. “You want me to… join the pack?” He nodded and placed the knife flat on the desk. “Yes. Temporarily—until we figure out what’s wrong with your scent and your wolf. You’re considered Luna… and my mate. If we can’t even mind link each other or connect with the pack, they’ll get suspicious. And that could cost us. Don’t forget—some of us are Lycans. The rest are wolves. But Lycans can sniff things out quickly.”

To contemplate what it all means. “Lunamin is three moons,” he says roughly. “And I’m not fucking carrying your ass home.” Savage. Feral. The bellowed, inhuman growl vibrates through every cell, as the plume of clove and magic linger in my nose. It’s apple and spice, though nothing about him could be defined as nice.

*Ellas POV cont.* “My name is Claire, the former Luna. You are in The SilverLake Pack. Your friends Ashley and Austin are here as well. They have been worried about you. You have been in a coma for 2 weeks. I let the doctor know you are awake. You are safe Ella. I hope you can make our pack your home.” Claire said almost pleading.

I couldn't do shit, and it was driving me fucking insane. “The story of the True Luna is really a legend among the witches.” I heard the fucker’s voice. “I wasn’t even aware of it until a witch told me about it. The most fascinating thing about her is that she is stronger than any other wolf. She can’t be hurt or killed using wolfsbane or silver. She is indestructible and very valuable. She is the only creation on this earth that can share her abilities with others.” I heard gasps all around us. Our pack members didn’t know how special she was. We didn’t even know how special she was. We knew bits and pieces, but not this. If what this fucker was saying was true, then she was really extraord

“Don’t be like that my love, we were only jesting.” I sigh and let her comforting aura envelop me. “So does this usually happen?” I asked, motioning to the bite mark on my neck. “Not many people get to that stage, mostly because, like Blanca told you, they always get the time wrong and the shifting of the walls, the puzzles, the trials, obstacles and studying the ancient texts usually drives them into madness.

Presently at her house, a series of doctors sat on the sofa. “What do you mean there's nothing you can do about it for now? I told you I have somewhere important to go tomorrow and I need to be perfectly okay before the event.” Luna screamed at the doctors. “We are sorry, ma'am. But it's not possible to get you better. It also depends on your will to get better. You need to calm down more and stop being paranoid over little things.” One of the doctors said. “What!!! You meant to say that I get too paranoid? Do you think I want this? In fact, you all are just a bunch of lunatics. Get out of my house!!!!”
