Moonlight Library Novels & Stories

Selena sat in front of her MacBook, typing furiously as she continued writing her latest mystery novel. She had always been passionate about writing ever since she was a little girl and had often imagined herself as a famous author in her own right. The book she was currently working on was a murder mystery set in a small town in Maine. The protagonist was a young detective named Lily who was trying to solve the mysterious murder of a wealthy businessman. As Selena wrote, her imagination ran wild, crafting plot twists and cliffhangers that would keep her readers on the edge of their seats.

“I miss Lyra so much and it’s only been three days. I want to tell her all my stupid ideas and then give you the good ones we’ve filtered out.” I let out a laugh, “I’m here for all the ideas. Don’t ever stop talking.” “I think…I don’t know. I just want this Full Moon done.” I know why she is edgy. She has been hoping against all odds that the Moon Goddess will make her my second-chance mate. It never happens but his will be our first full moon together. I tried to make her feel better by doing some research. The original library had been consigned to the cellar by Valdis. Most of the tomes completely moth eaten and ruined. Or, as Elvie explained, used to pad their bedding for warmth.

I had to for I couldn't do everything alone. I was still lecturing myself when the temperature in the library suddenly plummeted. My breath hitched. The window blinds were suddenly pulled down, plunging us into darkness. "I... what is... what was that?" Orion stuttered. A single moonstone light flickered to life. It wasn't enough to illuminate the entire library, but it was just enough for us to see right in front of us.

The full moon was tonight. When she reached the library, it was a little bit crowded but it was very quiet. She went to her favorite spot beside a broken computer and laid her things as well as her head. She needed all the sleep and strength that she could gather. Intel told her the full moon would last for three days. Even if it’s just part-time, it was still a tough job. The soft steps of the considerate students moving around as well as the sound of hardbound books opening and closing was soothing music to Raii Shin’s ears, putting her to sleep in no time.

Drake thought, hissing as he kicked Larry's leg. Meanwhile, Anne made her way down to the sea. The path was shrouded in darkness, the only light coming from the occasional flicker of a distant star. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, casting an eerie, almost otherworldly pall over the landscape. The waves lapped gently at the shore, their rhythm the only sound breaking the heavy silence of the midnight hour.

"Because she knows something we don't." --- That night, Luna couldn't sleep. She walked through the mansion alone. The halls were quiet. She stopped outside the old library. The door was slightly open. She pushed it. Inside, books covered every wall. Ancient records. Bloodline histories. Council documents. Luna walked toward the shelves. She searched for anything about the First Child. After several minutes, she found a book with no title. She opened it. The first page contained a symbol. Moon. Shadow. Light.

Security dispatched. 8:50 PM: Movement detected near the old library section despite warnings and sealed entrances. That last one made my stomach drop. Someone was headed exactly where Ian had planned his trap. Right as the blood moon approached totality and rational thought became nearly impossible. "Who's near the old library?" I demanded over the security channel. "Can't tell from this distance. Scent signatures are confused by the lunar event." "Send backup. Full team, non-lethal restraints. I want everyone in that area detained for their own safety."

As a righteous Luna, I knew she wouldn’t let this matter slide, especially when it's harmful to the werewolf communities. I let her and her friends read it while I waited for Mrs. Molly to finish scrolling through my notes. When she looked at me, there was a bewildered look in her eyes. “You… You created “Moonlight” five years ago?” I shrugged again. I didn’t want her to ask too many questions. With this, it was already enough for people around us to realize what had happened. “This won’t do.” I heard Luna Astraea’s voice. Once again, I turned around to face her to see her and her friends all growing as they read the medical reports.

I said, smiling. “It might be, but to the owners of Moonlight, it means more,” Althea replied softly. “Try this: imagine yourself in the dark. It’s hard to see right. But when the light of the moon shines down on you, everything becomes clear. It makes you see the path ahead. That’s the goal of Moonlight. It didn’t want anyone drinking them be confused if they are really red wine or wine. Whiskey or not. Isn’t that the reason why you like it? The reason you want to share its taste? Because no matter what you do, Moonlight will always taste like Moonlight.”

I glanced at her. “I think you’d find anything in this library,” she replied earnestly, “Helios has a large selection of books from across all genres and time.” I nodded. I expected that already. It's what I’ve been planning to explore today. “Alright,” I turned towards her with a chirp in my feet. I gave her a smile, “Please help me gather books related to moonstones.” “As you wish, Luna,” she smiled back and bowed. The virren moonstone.
