Moon Flowers Novels & Stories

Inside, a single plant bloomed. It was beautiful in its own way. Delicate purple flowers clustered along its stems, their petals almost translucent in the sunlight that filtered through the wire mesh overhead. The color was a stunning, deep violet that faded to lavender at the edges. The smell was equally lovely, sweet and slightly intoxicating, like honey mixed with something floral and wild. But Autumn knew better than to let the beauty fool her. This was moonbane bloom. One of the most dangerous plants in existence.

The moon caught her locks and made a soft glow about her head, like a halo. "The flower, darling. Do you remember the flower I used to speak of? Back when you were truly this age?" I shook my head. Her soft smile brightened her face and I returned the gesture. "It's just up this mountainside," she told me. "The flower blooms only once every century, its petals opening up to receive the moonlight for only a few seconds. But when it blooms, the power it holds is enough to break even the deepest nightmare." She smiled at me again as we walked up a steep incline to the top of a mountain.

I could feel it in the air between us—thick with emotion, with meaning, with something ancient neither of us could name. Then, slowly, Kane reached behind his back. I blinked, confused for a moment—until he brought his hand forward. He was holding a single flower. Not just any flower. A moonflower. Its white petals glowed faintly in the moonlight, delicate and perfect. The edges shimmered as if dipped in starlight. It looked like it had bloomed just for this moment—fragile, beautiful, and rare. Moonflowers didn’t grow just anywhere. They were sacred. Said to only appear when the veil between worlds was thin… or when the Moon herself gave permission.

And. Moonlight. It poured down into the ravine like a spotlight, narrow and silver, touching one specific spot on the rocky floor about ten feet from where I'd landed. And in that spot, growing in a thin crack between two stones, was a cluster of plants I would have recognized anywhere. Pale leaves. Silver undersides. And there—right there at the center—small, delicate flowers blooming open under the moon's attention like they'd been waiting for exactly this moment. Moonvine.

That was something that I would never let slide. When she stabbed me in my side, I already knew that she had drugged me. Fucking Moon Flower. It was a rare flower that only grew in the mountains once a year. It was a blue and white flower that looked like an orchid, but in the center, it had a yellow circle that glowed like the moon itself. That was what they used when they kidnapped me, and Oscar was so kind as to explain what to do if I was drugged ever again. Still, I had to let her think that I was clueless, that she had won, and that I couldn’t move a muscle.

All I could do was silently cry and wait, hoping he would return to me safe and whole. At that moment, there was a knock. “Prince. Princess,” the housekeeper said. “There is an invitation from the Palace.” “From whom?” Lucian asked. “The Queen,” he replied. “She invites Princess Layla to the Moon Flower Sightseeing Ceremony.” I frowned. “What is that?” Lucian explained, “Moon flowers bloom only once a year, during this month. They are considered jewels of the Moon Goddess. On the tenth day of their bloom, the palace hosts a ceremony. It is like a tea gathering. Nobles from far and near are invited to witness it.”

The leaves were a metallic gold. "It is a golden lettuce flower." Elder Silas cried. He stood up to see better. "I have read of these in the old scroll of the frozen peaks. They only bloom once every fifty years." "It is beautiful." Another elder said. "The size is incredible. The Moon Crescent pack knows how to feed the eyes before the mouth." Skade looked at me. She held a knife. She smirked. She gave me a look that said I was already defeated. Alpha Stone turned to Alaric.

The next morning, I was awakened by a message from Lucas. "Go to the greenhouse," he commanded, his tone brusque. "Bring the 'Moonlight Flower.' The Alpha is waiting for you." I stared at the screen, my fingertips ice-cold. The Moonlight Flower. It blooms once every ten years, for a single night. Its nectar makes the marking process feel like a dream, completely painless. This one, I had been nurturing since I was eighteen, even using my own blood to feed it.

Surprisingly he didn't deny it, just how naive are you kid, what if I was someone with bad intentions. "Great." Whatever the case may be, I was satisfied with just helping him. "I'll direct you." I grab his hand and lead him to a clear view of the moon light. I had already prepared for emergencies just incase, there was something I was working on, and although am not certain if it would work perfectly like I intend for it too, I was still determined to try it. On arriving under the light of the moon, I point out to the wide empty valley. Right there was the flower I had created, they were called Moon Flowers. "You see this plant, from now on, it will always bl
