Moonlight Garden Novels & Stories

She did not know what her relation was with her husband but she never liked her at all. Finally, Gwen had enough. She silently scanned her surroundings and then quietly left the hall. She walked towards the garden and sat in a corner so no one can see her. The moon at the sky was big and bright. She was mesmerized by the beauty of the night as she could not see such things in her town where sky was polluted by the factories. "It's beautiful." A whisper appeared from behind making her jump with fear but two arms held her tightly on her place. "Where are you running to?" Sian was amused by her reaction who only glared at him.

The garden is a beacon of calm amidst the chaos, and I desperately need that tranquility now more than ever. As I push open the door leading to the garden, the cool night air hits my face, and I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself. The moonlight bathes the garden in a soft, ethereal glow, and for a moment, the harsh reality of what I’ve just witnessed seems to fade away. The garden’s serenity contrasts sharply with the turmoil inside me.

The moon hung low in the sky, casting its silvery light over the sprawling grounds of Lycan Keep. Kate stood at the edge of the forest, her heart pounding in her chest as she gazed out into the night. It had been months since she had arrived at the keep, months filled with challenges and triumphs, love and loss. But now, as she stood on the brink of a new beginning, she knew that everything had led her to this moment. Beside her stood Elias, his hand warm against hers as he turned to face her, his eyes reflecting the light of the moon. "Are you ready?" he asked softly, his voice a gentle murmur in the stillness of the night.

I figure that's good enough. I tilt my head down and look through my camera's viewfinder again. The sight immediately makes me hold my breath for a second. The almost-full moon is there in all its radiant splendor. Its silvery glow weaves a spell over the night, and finally I reach forward to click the shutter. As I lose myself in the rhythmic trance of capturing lunar beauty, a distant wolf's howl becomes a haunting melody through the woods. Abruptly, the lens darkens, and for a second I wonder if a black cloud has suddenly obscured my view. When I pull back to check though, I gasp.

As she arranged her belongings in the cabin, Selena's mind wandered, thinking of the possibilities her new surroundings could bring. As the night fell, Selena couldn't resist the call of the nearby forest. She grabbed her coat and her notebook, eager to explore and seek inspiration for her writing. She wandered deeper and deeper into the woods, her gaze fixed on the trees above her. She was lost in thought, writing down notes, and unaware of the path she took. The sound of leaves crunching underfoot snapped Selena out of her reverie. She looked up, realizing she'd lost her way. The darkness of the woods surrounded her, and she had no idea which way to go.

The beauty had no limit. Because Mohini had slept for so long already, she couldn't fall back asleep. So, she quietly snuck out of bed and put on her flip-flops. Then, she pushed the sliding door open and walked out of the house. Standing in the rose garden, the cold moonlight emitted a milky white light. It gently spilled across the land, making the atmosphere appear mysterious and charming. Tonight, the moon was very enchanting. It looked like a curved knife underneath the pitch-black sky. The milky ray of light softly covered the entire land.

Statues of angelic figures, their wings spread in eternal flight, decorated the courtyard. At the heart of the palace, a magnificent crystalline dome encased a massive and breathtaking garden. It was a sanctuary of the moon, filled with flora that seemed to bloom in radiant moonlight. Every flower, tree, and plant appeared to be in perfect harmony with the lunar energy that infused the surroundings.

Above me, a crescent moon hung low in the sky, casting silver light across rooftops and stone pathways. Everything looked peaceful. Normal. It was almost enough to make me forget that, five years from now, this same kingdom would gather to watch me burn. Almost. The meeting place turned out to be the Moon Garden hidden behind the royal palace. I recognized it immediately. Few people were allowed inside. Ancient ivy climbed the surrounding walls, and pale flowers bloomed between marble pathways. Their sweet fragrance lingered in the air, mixing with the cool scent of water from the central fountain. It was the sort of place people chose when they didn't want to be overheard.

“Moon Tide Garden.” Chloe frowned. “What kind of place is that?” “I don’t know.” Search it, Sky suggested immediately. “Good idea.” I grabbed my laptop while Chloe rushed beside me. We searched the place online together. A few seconds later pictures popped up on the screen. “Oh wow,” I whispered. Moon Tide Garden was actually beautiful. The restaurant wasn’t inside a building. It was completely outside near the ocean cliffs. Soft golden lights hung from palm trees while white curtains danced gently in the wind. Candles glowed on every table. Flowers lined the stone paths, and small private dinner spaces sat hidden between vines and lanterns.

Ray replied cheerfully, and followed him toward the garden. Anthony pushed through the garden doors and stepped outside. The night air was cool and still. Moonlight lay across the old stone path in long, pale strips, and the fountain ahead turned the light into scattered silver ripples. The garden was beautiful at this hour — quiet in the way that felt almost deliberate, like it had been arranged for something. He stood there for one moment, letting his eyes adjust to the dark. Then he saw them.
