Marvelous Monday Blessings Novels & Stories

“I’m Zack Bradstreet! I am here to celebrate your birthday, Madam Montecarlo! I have a pair of jaded accessories and five night pearls for you. I wish you a healthy and long life!” “I’m Hedge Moore. I have 40-year-old ginseng and a box of high-quality cordyceps. I wish you happiness and that you shall forever remain strong.” “I’m Denzel Selim. I bear gifts for your birthday, Madam Montecarlo! A stem of reishi mushroom and a painting from the renowned artist Spiegleman. I wish you stay healthy and energetic forever!” All of them came with presents to celebrate Jane’s birthday. After giving their presents, they all stood behind Andrius, and Luna. They were here to support Andrius, and Luna, an

Marle, the High Priestess, starts the ritual with a prayer blessing. “Three Volkov heirs, born the same day as the Goddess wished. Little ones, may the sun shine bright upon you, may the moon in darkness guide you, may the stars in the sky watch you.” She starts, placing a hand on each of their foreheads. “May fate be kind to you, may your loved ones aid you in the storms of life, may joy be yours and may there be little strife, may peace and happiness be yours all your days, may you find friends and the love of a fated mate on your way.”

I repeated the name to myself a few times to commit it to memory before stepping onto the podium. “Skatom Mochain, it appears that the Moon Goddess has sent down her blessings once again this full moon. This time she has chosen to bless me with my mate and you by extension with a Luna. So we are going to share our acceptance with you,” I announced. When I turned to face Delania, I couldn’t help but steal a quick little peck on the lips and several of the pack members snickered at the action.

She handed them to Ruth like an offering. “Thank you,” Ruth said, adding capable to her mental ledger of Camille’s adjectives. “You pour. You stay. You clap.” Camille smiled. “Yes, ma’am.” Ava spotted Marvella at the gate, lavender floating, grace installed. Mabel trailed behind in red, smirking at the sign like she could out-neighbor anyone if provoked. “Lavender says we’re here to bless, red says we’re here to testify,” Ava murmured when she hugged them.

With all my gratitude, **Mercy V** ---

This breakfast was a special occasion, so there were way more pack members here than there would usually have been. Mom took in the room, then stood and cleared her throat. The entire room fell silent; we were all in awe of her grace, beauty, and power. She looked around before addressing the crowd. “Good Morning, Opal Moon.” “Good Morning, Luna.” “Today is a special day,” she continued, “as is tomorrow. Today, my beautiful children celebrate their graduation, and tomorrow they celebrate their eighteenth birthdays. And we pray to the Goddess that they also find their mates. As both events are so close together, we will take tomorrow night to celebrate both milestones in true style!”

Cleared throat. “Chapter 50,” Adrian read. Voice 70 BPM. “One year later. March 14th. Twins turned one. Cake said Ivy and Isla. Alex gave a toast. ‘To Dada. Who taught me 3 AM means always.’ Dada said, ‘No court. No Reese. Just us.’ And it was true. For 3 weeks.” _Silence. Bedroom._ “And then?” Alex asked. Same question. Every night. Day 21. “Then monsters came,” I said. Walking in. Sitting next to Adrian. Floor. “But we beat them. And now it’s Day 21. Of 8 weeks. And we’re still here.”

Monday morning came as sunlight slipped lazily through the curtains, catching in golden streaks across the mansion’s marble floor. Everything felt unhurried, almost serene. Luna had woken earlier than usual. She sat on the edge of her bed, hair loosely tied, sipping her coffee while scrolling through her schedule for the day. Normally, Mondays were the busiest — back-to-back meetings, reports, and constant calls from Bryan’s office. But today… she didn’t feel the usual tension. Maybe it was because her weekend was filled with fireworks, laughter, and lots of self care the massage made her feel very comfortable.

Gray unwillingly turned his head from the comforting sight to welcome the being. A young woman, stood in front of the door as she smiled. “So, you’re the one who called for me? Who are you?” Gray asked, couldn’t even hide his eagerness. That person must have noticed it too because she was chuckling right away. “Calm down. You’re too excited, boy.” Her words made Gray’s flushed red. If Sierra was there, she probably threw him a judging stare. “We don’t have names, but our powers do,” She spoke, as she walked closer to Gray. “I believe we are called as True Blessing, like that Sun’s girl said.”

I had never been one to enforce my beliefs on anyone, but if it was something that they wanted to do, I would happily teach them the traditions of my people. “Yes please,” said Dante, shutting his eyes tightly. Asher took a few more seconds, shaking his head at Dante's forehead first, before even considering shutting his eyes. “Bless this food, oh, moon goddess.” “Bless the food moon goddess,” they responded. Close enough. “May the water quench our thirst and the foods nurture our growth.” “... nurture our growth.” “And now you can go ahead to eat. Bon appetite,” I said, ripping the bread apart and chewing on it while I scooped up a spoon of tomato soup. It was so perfect that I worried that
