Nine Moons Book Novels & Stories

*** — Anne, do you want to hear a story? When the world was young, and the herds were still in their most primitive state, a lone wolf devoted himself to singing to the Goddess Moon with passion. The wolf, whose fur shone under the silver light of the moon, sang with a passion and devotion that resonated in the deepest corners of the night. His howls were an ode to the beauty and mystery of the night, an expression of love and admiration for the Goddess who illuminated the nighttime sky.

Luna Irene said with a smile. "You indeed made exceptional cookies," Alpha chimed in. "I'm glad you both like them. When you visit our pack days later, I'll bake cookies for you again," Aunt Mary proudly stated. "By the way, I'll also bring my niece to attend the ceremony." Upon mentioning me, Alpha and Luna turned their attention towards me. "Good morning, Alpha Joan, Luna Irene." Despite feeling a bit uneasy inside, I maintained a firm gaze, a calm tone, and a natural demeanor. I envied Aunt Mary's innate cheerfulness and sociability; she could easily engage with anyone in lively conversation.

I say as I pull my top back down over my bump. “No, don’t you get it. The True Luna wolves have the mark of the moon on them. However, the daughter of the Goddess not only has a moon but three moons and eight stars. Your birthmark matches those marks.” My eyes widen at her words when she produces a book literally out of thin air and shows me the page. A gasp leaves me as I look at the mark. In the middle is a full moon and on either side are crescent moons. Underneath in a straight line are eight little stars. I can’t read what it says as it is written in an ancient language.

I felt happy but deep inside I was always sad. I wasn't able to sleep that night. I kept turning around. The dream I used to have come back. This time I saw his face. His blue eyes sparkled. It had always been him. Mike. He even conquered me in my dreams. He never left me alone. Then, suddenly I was lost in darkness. Pitch black darkness everywhere I looked. But suddenly a beautiful woman came near me. She was dressed in white. Her hair was white as well. She hugged me. She comforted me. "Don't be afraid my child. I am the moon goddess. You are never alone. He is your world." she spoke. A knock on the door woke me up. It was my mom who came to wake me up.

“I’ve seen this picture somewhere else, only…” Both women leaned over his shoulder to see what had him so interested. It was a night scene with a sphinx in the background and two lovers entwined by a fire. Just the sort of thing that would have caught Mathin’s eye, Andrea thought, amused. The only thing was, instead of three moons in the night sky there was... “One moon.” Andrea sucked in a breath. “Where did you see this picture, Mathin?” He regarded her solemnly. “In Fallon’s library, on Earth.”

It had the sign of the moon on it too. "This, is the sword of Artemis, it will be your cloud in the day and fire in the night. It will be your guild. Accept this gift from the goddess of the moon." Myra bowed placing the sword in her hands. Kendrick hesitated taking it at first, but changed his mind as his took it carefully from her hands. He held it in his hands and the moon symbol on the handle of the sword glowed brightly, and so did the moon on Myra's forehead.

Alexander spoke, flopping into the chair. “She’s getting too old; people are beginning to grow suspicious. She’s reigned for the last 40 years.” Adam revealed, making me shiver. How many others has she killed for her own gain? “What’s so special about being Queen?” I asked, making Adam turn to me. “It’s the highest honor any female wolf wishes to hold. It’s the only one that can happen at random.” I chewed on my bottom lip as he continued to talk, “Queen Luna’s are direct links to Selene, the moon goddess. There are other factors in finding a potential candidate, and one is what they call gatherers. They follow the Queen and will do anything for her. She typically will have one or two, but t

“Alright, I got it,” Andrius responded and hung up the phone. Then, he tried to call Rainbow, but sure enough, the prompt said the number was not in service. What was going on? Andrius was puzzled and left the garage. In New Moon Corporation, Luna was reading a medical book in her office. It was the same book that Andrius had given her in the name of the Wolf King. At times, she frowned. At times, she had a sudden realization and wrote and drew with a pen, very focused.

The two pills were in the shape of a full moon and it reminded him of the story Nathan had once shared when they were still a child. “Hey. Have you ever heard a story called ‘Moon Lovers’?” A child-like voice rang into his ears. Chris turned around before shaking his head innocently, “What is it about? That ‘Moon Lovers’ story?” Five-year-old Nathan grinned before he pulled out a picture book from his bag and flipped open the page, “The story was about the moon and a normal man.” The picture book had a drawing of a full moon shining brightly on the sky with an unnamed man standing directly below the full moon with a smile.
