Moon River And Me Novels & Stories

I counter. I look out at the horizon. The woods are dark, but they aren't scary. They’re just woods. The wind is just wind. The night is just the other half of the day. I lean my head on Kaleb’s shoulder and he wraps his arms me and the baby, encasing us in his warmth. "What are you thinking?" he asks. I look at the moon. It’s full tonight. A bright, silver coin hanging in the sky. It chose me twice. Once to learn, and once to love.

Matt woke up from a nightmare and immediately looked at his bedside table. Beads of sweat trickled all over his forehead. He got up and walked out of the balcony to breathe fresh air. He did not realize it was already a full moon until he saw the majestic Luna shining from above. If it weren’t for Aria, if it were not for the prophecy, they would still be in pain of transitioning as a wolf tonight. He wondered what they were doing in Crescent Hills. Matt went down to grab some beer, and he almost jumped on Cassie when he saw her lurking in the dark garden. “What are you doing there?” he asked.

he said. “No—it’s not!” Before he could respond, the space around us shifted. The darkness trembled. And then— Light. A sudden burst of silver light exploded above us, illuminating everything in a cold, eerie glow. The moon. But not like any moon I had ever seen. It was too close. Too bright. Too powerful. My wolf surged violently inside me, reacting instantly. A sharp gasp left my lips as something deep within me answered the call. “Aria,” Kael warned.

I wait til I hear feel the cold air drifting into the kitchen and the soft sound of a door closing before glancing into the hallway again. Through the doors glass I could see Embers back to me. The left side of her body was eliminated white from the moon and her hair looked like silver threads as they hung down her back. Creeping towards the door she shifts and a second later a see a silvery gold wolf dashing across the snow, her body low as she ran.

My therapist disagreed with me; he sided with Maggie. "Hey girl," Ardith, one of the more experienced nurses on our unit, greeted me as she planted her bags beside me. "Full moon is in a few nights; I'm still recovering from the last one." She chuckled, cracking her knuckles. I gave her a weak smile, "Don't remind me. That night was hell."

The glowing yellow super moon shines bright over the mountains of the Mojave Desert. I feel like I’m on autopilot. Ava is fast asleep, her head rests on the window. I can’t stop thinking about her even though she’s right next to me. It pains me to think that beast wants to hurt her. I will always protect her.

My head was spinning, and at this moment, it was too much to bear. Alone, I pulled the Afghan over myself and watched the figures moving across the screen, enjoying being able to lie down and stretch out comfortably for the first time in days. I stared at the sunshine peering through the sliding glass doors to the right, when my thoughts went to the Moon Goddess, Selene, and what Magenta had said.

"Should I be more like Diego. Give you a thousand nicknames? I would tell you how you are my moon, my stars, and everything else in the night sky. That you’re the love of my life?" Moon was silent for a bit, then said, "no, our love story is like no one else’s. We found each other, then we lost each other. We went through hell, and now we are here. You calling me "my Moon" is special enough. It means you see me for who I am now. Moon, not Mona. And you see me as yours. I am yours. Your Moon."

He already knows my mind is elsewhere. "I am listening to you and them," I say with a smile. The moon is enormous and hanging just above the treeline. It seems to engulf Ryan as he shifts. He is talking to me as he shifts, walking me through the steps. I hear bones cracking as he growls. This is going to hurt like hell.
