Noctis Novels & Stories

"Knowing I’m not the only one suffering brings me a bit of peace." Nocturnus stepped closer, touching my forehead and forcing visions into my mind. "My queen, if you needed despair to calm your thoughts, you could have asked me," he said, his piercing eyes locked onto mine. "Just tell me what you see and guide us in the next attack. I assure you, many species will witness your pain!" The visions were intense, each one more terrifying than the last. I saw cities in flames, blood-soaked battlefields, and I heard the screams of creatures from every race. Nocturnus was showing me the extent of his power and the reach of his cruelty.

The nights were the hardest, as the moon's light cast a haunting glow upon her fur, igniting her bloodlust. On this particular night, the moon was full and radiant, and Astrid could feel the transformation taking hold. She tried to resist, to maintain her human form, but the beast within her was relentless. As the moon reached its peak in the sky, Astrid's body convulsed, and she fell to her knees, crying out in pain. Her bones cracked and shifted, her limbs stretched and reshaped, and her senses heightened to a feverish pitch.

He made a shushing gesture to the girls. "Shhh, your mother's asleep. Let's be sure not to wake her up." The girls were both sitting on a sheet covered mat on the floor that Brook slept on whenever she stayed over. They both looked up at Cindy's dad with curious excitement as he stood a moment by the door in a tight pair of boxer briefs and a T shirt. His cock and balls made a prominent bulge in his briefs, and Brook knew immediately from the look in his eyes that he couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier any more than they could.

He stood on the balcony in the cold wind all night. When he returned to the bedroom, he found that my mother had jumped out of the window. That night, it poured. The rain washed away the blood from my mother's corpse. Cade rushed over and held me tight, letting me punch him repeatedly. He kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay…" But he chose Summer as his new fling. As Mrs. Finley, what dignity do I have left? That night, Cade did not come home. The trending topic I arranged was buried deep by him.

I woke up with something soft brushing against my face. I blinked, still dizzy with sleep, and came face to face with two huge black eyes staring at me from inches away. Nox was lying on the pillow next to mine, his furry tail swinging slowly while he touched my cheek with one of his four pointed ears. The crystal horns glowed in a soft golden tone, matching the sparks in my eyes. “Good morning to you too.” I murmured, scratching behind his ears. All four twitched at the same time, and he emitted a purr so loud that it vibrated the mattress.

Clara It’s deep into the night when I jolt awake, my chest rising and falling with sharp, rapid breaths. Sweat clings to my skin, my heart hammering like a drumbeat in the dark. The nightmare fades in fragments, flashes of shadows, a voice I couldn't quite place, the overwhelming feeling of being chased. I sit up slowly, the bedsheet twisted around my legs, and take a moment to ground myself The soft glow of the moon filters through the curtains, casting long, pale shapes across the room.

I wanted to move away at the same time as move close, so instead I stayed still, letting the smell of the forest and the wolves wash over me, listened to the day wind down and the night stir into existence. Out of nowhere Christian rolls over-nearly squishing Mikki who looks up startled by his swift movement. I turn my eyes to Christian curiously and could smell it in air from the others as they all trained their eyes on the wolf. Christian raises his nose into the air and a second later the sound of his howl fills the night, cuts through the night sounds and echo's over the snow.

A pulse of energy exploded outward. Silver light burst from her body. The air around her crackled violently. Magic. Wolf energy. Something else. Something ancient. The moon above seemed to glow brighter. Far brighter. The entire castle shook. Guests screamed. Windows shattered. Several nobles fell to the floor. And high above Noctis, hidden among the clouds, a massive silver symbol appeared. A glowing crescent moon. Visible for miles. Visible across kingdoms. Visible across continents. Everyone stared upward in horror. And somewhere beyond the borders of Noctis, powerful beings suddenly lifted their heads.

Because when a stranger knocked at your door in the middle of the night, asking for shelter amidst a crisis, there was simply no excuse to be made. Within that thirty days the butterfly would go through the craziest of cycles, starting as an egg enclosed within a shell that is both impenetrable and fragile. Gian embodies everything she hates about people. He's loud, too energetic, and always loves inserting himself in other people's business. Aera would make him leave if she could, and she tried for days on end. An apartment unit does not have enough room for two people who clash in every way possible. Then that shell would break to let out a creature that was hideous and scary and weird.

She passed John's tent within minutes and briefly worried that her mother would emerge and punish her, but all remained silent against the night air. Once she reached the edge of the huts, the girl searched the treeline for Saya, glancing between ever branch. Saya was a rare breed of Fera called the Noctis, a human crossed with a bat: their instincts as an animal vastly controlling their personalities. Feared by all other Fera for their first for blood, they were forced to live along the edges of the swamp where they were safe from judgement and growling beasts.
