Not really a question. I looked out at the trees. "They had their reasons." "What reasons?" I hesitated. How could I explain years of whispers, insults, and cold looks?

Turn tail, and wait for the first full moon of the year. The wolf moon. That would make for an auspicious mate announcement. The Alpha and Luna joining during the wolf moon was supposed to be the best omen for a pack. He could wait a month to meet his mate. Hopefully, he would be able to claim her that day too.

At his age a broken mating bond would be very hard on his wolf.

He would give his wife time to griev

It’s evening of the same day, they have done some activities and have rested, had a late lunch after they woke up too, now its nighttime and the moon over a large body of water shines prettily. The air shifts to be a little cooler as the moon rises, its pretty pale light spreading over the resort like a creamy silk clothe. Gentle waves slap against the wooden but sturdy poles of their villa, and the little splashes make her smile.

For now. As the room settled into silence, Arlo lay beside Lune, his head resting on the pillow, though sleep was the farthest thing from his mind. Instead, he turned slightly, his sharp eyes fixed on her face. The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a faint glow over her, illuminating the soft curves of her cheeks and the gentle rise and fall of her chest as she breathed.

~STORM As I sit here under the soft glow of the moon, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The moon goddess has truly blessed me in ways I never thought possible.

The moon hung low and heavy in the sky, a perfect silver coin resting against the dark velvet of the night. It was a stark contrast to the brilliant, blazing heat of the bonfires that dotted the slate paved plaza. Tonight was not a festival marking a specific celestial event or the turning of a season. It was simply a celebration of survival. It was a celebration of the quiet, beautiful mundanity that had finally taken root in the valley.

The only source of light was the luminous moon, its coruscating rays lending an air of mysticism. When the full orb of the moon reached its highest peak, Liam threw his head back and howled. A haunting tone, one that spoke of his loneliness, that spoke of regret, that wished with every breath for a companion, a tone that hid a melancholy, hoping that it would one day be answered by an equal. That would not be today. Today, all that answered his call were groans of pain and the gasps from the spectators gathered around. The kids were changing. Liam watched carefully, making sure each of the little ones was coming though alright. For some reason he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

The Moon Festival was never meant for people like me. All around the clearing, wolves danced and laughed, their faces painted with silver crescents, clothes glowing with threads woven under moonlight. Lanterns floated overhead, their warm gold light casting shifting shadows on the stones below. The ancient pines swayed, whispering old prayers to the Moon Goddess. I stood at the edge of it all, half-hidden beneath the gnarled limbs of a hollow pine. My hands were clenched inside the sleeves of my simple robe—undyed, unadorned. I wasn’t dressed to be seen.
