Novel & Cerita Moondrop X Sundrop

"How?" "By changing your scent," she said, pulling a small vial of crushed, glowing sea-moss from her robe. "This will mask the Moonveil signature for a time. But it comes with a price. To survive, you must stop running and start fighting. The Unbound do not shelter refugees. They shelter queens." I took the vial. The moss within pulsed with a faint, bioluminescent rhythm, syncing with the beating of my own heart. "If I stay," I said, "I have to lead."

“Are you really Knox’s mate, or are you just playing some kind of game?” Lydia blinked, stunned by the bluntness of the question. “Excuse me?” Ella tilted her head. “You heard her. It’s just a little hard to believe that Knox would have a mate. Especially someone like you.” “Well, do you expect him to be mateless? I can’t blame you, and if you think I’m some kind of ride-along, then I guess you’re wrong. We are a mate-blessed bond from the Moon Goddess. I’m sorry—there’s nothing you can do.” Lydia threw in the remark, which earned a scowl. She knew she’d hit the spot, but they were at a party, so obviously, they could do nothing.

Jordan added, and I understood what he was referring to. "Not now, please, Jordan. I need to get ready for something." I tried to stop him. "OK, I will get going, but talk to Thea about it; I am sure you realize what I am saying," he stated before walking out. I summoned my Beta, and he hurried into my office a few seconds later. "Alpha, you have a message from Nightshade," Bruno stated, as I glanced at him with surprise. "What does it say?” I asked. "That Alpha Claus and his soon-to-be Luna Camila plan to pay us a visit in two days," Bruno explained.

The forest whispered like it knew a secret. Mist slid low over the roots of the black pines, and the moon fat and red as a wound hung unnaturally close to the earth. Lyra Graythorn stood at the edge of the clearing, her breath clouding in the cold, her heartbeat the loudest thing in her ears. She had seen many full moons before, but never one like this. Her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind: The Blood Moon doesn’t just light the sky, child. It marks. It claims.

“I’m going to pass out.” Dad stepped into the living room at that exact moment, holding a clipboard and looking like he was preparing for war. “Alpha Rowan’s pack is arriving by sunset. Blue Ridge in the morning. And Blood—” He stopped. Mom shot him a look that said, Do not even think about it. “What?” I asked, sitting up. “Blood what?” “Blood Moon,” Kieran said flatly. My pulse spiked. “Blood Moon? As in the Blood Moon? The ruthless warriors? The ones who single-handedly deter rogues from three borders away?”

“But I’d be a Trojan Horse.” “If you’re comfortable with it, that would be helpful,” Thea said. “Who do you think will be at the summit?” “At least Crescent Moon, Mead Moon, Storm Moon, Far Side, Eclipse, Cold Moon, and Ice Moon. They were the packs that were upset about missing slaves. Possibly Moonrise and Chaste Moon. They’re neighbors with Crescent Moon. They probably think it’s safer to back them instead of New Dawn.” “Thank you, Alpha Ford,” Thea said. “I’m looking forward to our alliance and growing closer.”

I turn to Xander, taking his hands in mine, our eyes locking together, as Meadow moves to the top of the falls while Tate and Xander’s family create a semi-circle of love around us. “Tonight, on the full moon, we present this woman and this man to the Earth Mother and to the Moon Goddess. They are fated mates and have created the bond established by the Moon Goddess. Tonight, they will create the bond established by the Earth Mother.” Meadow turns, taking the bowl she had set aside earlier in her hands before turning back to face us. “Let the heat of your love burn brightly for the rest of eternity,” Meadow says. “Let our love burn brightly,” Xander and I say together, and the flames of the

He wiped his hand down his face and looked between everyone in the room before he rested his eyes back on me. “The moon goddess told her mother that her mate would be the future alpha. You are her mate. And when you are both mark and mated, she will receive her full powers. She said alone they are strong, but together they would be able to stop the evil forces. The evil forces aren’t just coming for Addy, they are coming to take over the world. You and Addy, together, are what will save our entire species. She is the Moon’s Luna.” He was looking at me apologetically. I know I shouldn’t be mad at him, he did this for me. For her, but he knew. “How long….how long have y’all know?” I as

she added which I nodded to. But I knew better of what she is saying and that is what I am after. Vanessa held a secret,one that could change everything. After the conversation with my mother I left for the grand hall. The pack gathered below, their faces filled with anticipation as they all awaited my speech. Last night was full of jubilation. I raised my hands, silencing the murmurs as slowly the murmurs died while all eyes were on me to speak. "My pack, tonight marks a new era. The Moon Ball ceremony will solidify our unity and strength. As I Alpha Alexander took over the throne of my father, late Alpha Alain" I paused looking around the people gathered.
