Moonlight Paradise Novels & Stories

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the icy cold waters of Nysoria. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore created a soothing melody that filled the air, mingling with the soft rustle of palm leaves swaying in the night breeze. Inside the luxurious four-poster bed suite, Isla lay nestled against Liam, the warmth of his body enveloping her like a protective cocoon.

Maybe it was the Moon Goddess’s plan all along to get us here, to this moment. I look up at the moon one last time. It’s so close to its zenith. We only have 6 hours until it sets and the sunrise sets the spell. This wedding is only the beginning. From here we need to get the three couples secure in their locations–Hazel and Rudolph in Crescent City, Apple and Sylvester here in Moon River City, in this very room, and my daughter, Amy and her mate Calyx in the wastelands between both to complete the triangle of power and heal the land.

“She lived and you all killed her, and you know what’s funny, I spent my entire life being compared to a ghost I could never live up to. And now I see her in…you, literally.” My hands began to shake. “Malik…” I whispered. “What’s happening.” He stepped toward me slowly, as though he approaching a wild and wounded animal. “Eve,” he said quietly, “your wolf… it didn’t shift like any wolf I’ve ever seen...” “No,” I snapped, cutting him off. “I am normal! I am your Eve not some ancient heiress…” Astrid whispered, “Then why does the moon answer to you?” My breath caught because truly the moon had answered to me, it had bent towards me. I didn’t just see it, I felt it.

It reminded her of Jayden so much, for a reason she could not fathom, and she was curious to know if Jayden used the same soap. The nightgown Maria got fit her perfectly, and she put her now ruined watch and phone by the pool’s water on the nightstand and switched off the lights as she stood at the big window. The moon was nowhere to be found, only darkness, and so she could not speak to it, but she felt at peace. It was almost like all she ever needed was a change of environment.

“You have the wrong woman.” “No.” Calvin stayed close, his voice controlled but edged with anger. “The woman on Apollo wore a different face, but she used the same perfume. Jasmine and cedar.” I released his wrist and reached for the cloth beside the stove. “She also had the same mark behind her right ear.” My hand stopped. Calvin leaned closer. “Do you still want to tell me we have never met?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” His gaze held mine. “Then perhaps you need help remembering.”

Oh, how I did not miss the wicked smile of Miss Britle and her nagging. “But I can bathe myself.” “But you don’t have to.” Lily shrugged. It felt like we were arguing over who got the last cookie again. And when the eldest should sacrifice for the younger one but Lily was never that kind of big sister. “Fine, fine. But you all need to give me a minute. Let me process what’s happening.” I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I could feel their eyes boring into my skin. Why was I here? Paradise was supposed to be a small place beyond the moon where houses were made of stars, clouds made up the carpets and furniture, and everything was perfect.

Scott could tell from her overly excited voice. Music booms were heard on the other side, along with the cheers of the men. Scott’s feelings became uneasy. “Hey, where are you? Are you with Ciara?” Vaire laughed with someone before she answered his question. “Yeah, yeah, she’s with me!” Then she hiccuped. “Now, we are in—” Another hiccup. “The Dust Paradise!” “What?” The Dust Paradise was the most famous bar in Moon Ashes, even its fame spread to neighboring territories and cities outside the territories. Because the bar is located on a cliff and provides a night view that becomes a sight for sore eyes.

It was mine. Tonight, nothing felt predictable. The moon had risen huge and white, not soft but stark—like a coin hammered flat and nailed to the sky. Its light made edges cruelly clear. The moss didn’t blur into shadow; it glittered with frost. My breath came out in ghosts. The air was so sharp with pine and damp soil that I tasted it, resin and metal at the back of my tongue. Somewhere far away, water moved. Somewhere closer, something else did.

Her wisdom was a balm to their souls, soothing the scars of their recent ordeal. Finally, they reached a serene clearing at the summit of Mount Lunastra Aetheria. There, beneath the gentle light of the moon, Lunastra Aetheria bestowed upon Noah and Myla a blessing, a gift of renewed life and an eternal connection to the moon's magic. Their bond was forever strengthened, and they were entrusted with the responsibility of guarding the delicate balance between life and death on Earth.

She was happy that she had been watching. The Moonlit Meadow, which saw this amazing thing happen, started to glow with a lig ht from another world, a sign that love had won over fate.
