Moonlight Mile Rolling Novels & Stories

And then he reverts his gaze back to the moon. Amy’s shoes draw circles in the dirt, the leaves refusing to allow whatever she wants to draw on the ground become a reality. A twig snaps in her hands. She exhales noisily and pushes the glasses slipping off her nose back into place. She gazes at the ground again, as if interested by the pattern the leaves have formed. “It’s just…” she finds herself speaking. “All these kids, they all know somebody. They’re all popular or rich or something, and I’m just… I don’t know.”

The group dashed out of the motel room and into the dark, unforgiving night. The moon was at full height, bathing the ground in a silvery light; the stars were out in force, though with the nearby freeway and it’s artificial lighting, the brilliant beauty of the celestial bodies was greatly diminished. James turned to face Eliza and Oliver and told them, “Position here and watch our backs.” At the onset of additional spine-tingling howls, Oliver clenched his jaw and a hint of anger flashed in his cool gray eyes. The Brit nodded once.

I watch as he makes his way around the vehicle and climbs into the driver side. "Why do I have a feeling if you had one you'd flip it within a week." He says starting the engine and putting it in gear. I look at him from the corner of my eye a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "That's what a roll cage is for." I say leaning back in my seat and place my feet up on the dash. I'm not paying attention where we're going until we are turning down a familiar street. Jax I'm taking a short cut to one of my favorite places in town. I'm riding in cloud nine with Sage sitting next to me.

Clyde said as he came out from behind a tree, the moonlight reflecting oh his skin as he plopped his butt on the soil, lying down slowly. I looked at him skeptically. “Come on, if you don't take a break we'll be too tired to fight with Nightshade and rescue Baekalis.” I grunted in resignation, rounding myself around him as he snuggled into my fur. Just hold on a little bit longer Baek. ~•~ The sun stretched lazily over the horizon, distorted by the canopy provided by the trees and reachin the forest floor in orange spots. A spot shone directly on Clyde's nose, which he rubbed aggressively before sitting up, half of his face smeared with mud and twigs all over his slender body.

Kane ruffled Jim’s hair approvingly, while Luke fussed over Fiona like she was made of glass, murmuring for her to rest. I stood there, invisible. They were the perfect family—warm, whole, united. And I? I was the spare part, the forgotten shadow. Not a single glance. Not a word. So I left. I walked toward Moon Lake, the place I’d begged them to take me for years. "Next summer," they’d always said, "when things are less busy." Lies. Empty promises. Now, I’d go alone. But my body betrayed me. Halfway there, my wolf gave out—her strength spent, her spirit broken. My legs buckled, and the world was spinning.

It wasn’t signed. Kael would never let me go. Lucien would only follow if it amused him. But the words burned in my mind until I could think of nothing else. When the moon hung high, I slipped out, hood drawn low. The streets of Ebonveil were slick with fog, lamplight bending in the mist. The Blood and Moonlight Tavern stood at the edge of neutral territory—a place where vampires, wolves, and even humans could meet under strict rules of truce. Inside, the air was thick with smoke and candlelight. Shadows clung to the corners, and the scent of spiced wine mingled with the metallic tang of blood.

Her tone was gentle, but the way she looked at me was arrogant. There was no way I would have invited her to come. Luther reached over to help load her luggage onto the train, but the conductor stopped him with an apologetic expression. "Sir, there's only one first-class seat remaining." The Moonlight Express offered full-service immersive scenic touring, and it was exactly the honeymoon experience I had always wanted. It was peak season at Vespera Coast right now, so the standard seats had sold out early, while first-class seats cost five times as much.

Marcus pulls out a lighter, his thumb flicking the spark. "Are you ready?" he asks. I look at Liam. His dark eyes are steady. "Ready," I say. Marcus drops the lighter. The flames rise, golden and hungry. The evidence burns. The drive back to the lake house is quiet. I sit in the passenger seat, staring out the window. The moon is full, casting silver light on the trees. Liam drives with one hand on the wheel, the other holding mine. "We did it," I say. "We did it."

The service road wound through the hills like a scar, cracked and overgrown with weeds. Moonlight spilled across the asphalt in pale ribbons, broken by shadows of leaning utility poles and scrubby pines. The group moved in silence, their breath steaming in the cold. Sofia checked her compass as she walked. “Two more miles. There’s an old interchange ahead that connects to the main highway.” Lily kept pace beside William, her injured arm bandaged crudely with torn cloth. Every jolt sent a flare of pain through her shoulder, but she refused to slow. William noticed her wince and touched her back gently. “You holding up?”

Liam said. Elaine’s gaze lingered on where the Omega was. But, for now, she turned and followed Liam. Yet now her mind was racing. What else was out here that she had no idea about? The next day, Elaine and Liam were back on the road. The hotel last night had been leagues better than the motel from the previous. Two beds this time, though. The drive into the Moonwatch Territory was beautiful. The road began to wind up a mountain, and soon they reached snow. But looking out over the valley below them, Elaine could see for miles. It was gorgeous.
