We’re talking moonlight, silver, maybe lilac—something that doesn’t look like a funeral!” Emry groaned from the steps where she sat with a basket of parchment Mirae had forced into her hands. “You realize I didn’t agree to a festival.” Mirae whirled, hands on her hips. “It’s not a festival; it’s a statement. You and Braxton are the first bonded pair blessed by the moon in generations. People need hope—and honestly, I need an excuse to boss people around again.” “You never need an excuse,” Emry muttered.

he said quietly. “I saw nothing that binds me to you,” she snapped. He looked down at her, and for the first time, the confidence in his voice wavered. “You will,” he said finally. “When the moon calls, you will.” She pushed herself up, trembling but defiant. “You’ll never own me.” Lightning split the sky again, thunder rolling through the ruins. The wind picked up, scattering dust and shards of stone. Eryndor turned toward the broken doorway. “The moon rises tomorrow. And when it does, your blood will answer mine—whether you wish it or not.”

Tiny diamonds formed a ring of stars, cradling a silver crescent in the center. My breathing stopped. I had sketched that design when I was fifteen, in the corner of my old sketchbook. The day Ryan confessed to me, he had pointed at that drawing, his voice shaking. “Jane, one day when I have money, I’ll make this for you. “Stars always stay beside the moon. “Just like I’ll never break my promise to you.” Now he had finally made it. He just put it on someone else. On screen, Wendy touched the pendant at her collarbone and smiled shyly.

“My father isn’t here. He never was. They killed him to try and find me. I am some Blood Moon Alpha. I didn’t want this…I never wanted this. I just wanted the truth, and now that I have it, I wish I hadn’t. I can’t save myself, but maybe I can save you all. If they can’t do their ritual, werewolves live. Find their altar and destroy it, or make it so I don’t die until after the next Blood Moon. You can do it yourself for all I care. I have tried to escape, but these chains aren’t chains. I can’t explain it, and I can’t break them. I can’t shift. My wolf tries to awaken, but she just doesn’t. Save the wolves, Frank.” “Sugar, now you listen. The Blood Moon is tonight. Stall and cause as much c

She buried herself under her blankets, letting the silence consume her as she tried to ignore the pounding of her own heart. In the dimness of her room, as daylight faded and the shadows grew long, Channary clutched her pillow, sinking deeper into her shame. The Moon had betrayed her, left her vulnerable, her mate unclaimed. She was the Alpha’s daughter, Moon-Kissed and blessed, yet here she was, abandoned and marked only by the emptiness of broken promises.

He begged and begged. He took his hand in hers. “Lily, Lily, talk to me!” He cried. Lily just smiled softly as she pushed her cold, pale head against Liam’s skin. “Warm,” was all she said. “CAN I GET A DOCTOR OVER HERE!” Liam screamed, voice still cracking like shattered porcelain. “NOW!”

Selena nodded slightly, still trying to follow the information he dropped on her lap. "Have you never wondered if I were your mate?" Selena almost choked. "Of course I have, but… Can you be a little more clear? It's getting hard to follow." Selena said impatiently. He was saying a lot, but not being understandable. "The Moon's prophecy says that a wolf has the powers of the moon, and that it will unite with another one to bring peace to our species. Of course I'm using a little poetic license here." he laughed.

My breaths were coming hard, and the urge to Mate was strong, stronger than it had ever been before. “The Blood Moon is probably affecting Conner, as well.” A crease formed between Wyatt’s eyes. “Adan, if I may say so, you should be with your Mate right now.” He placed his hand on my shoulder and nodded toward the sky. “Look. The Blood Moon is already on the rise.”

"May the Moon Goddess release her wrath on anyone that dare break the terms of the blood oath agreed upon today." Kayden lowers the bowl and places it in the middle of his desk. Directly after the contents of the bowl immediately burst into flame. Signifying that the Moon Goddess herself has agreed to the blood oath. We are all now bound to secrecy.

Kael had one rule he never broke. Every piece of pack business, big or small, personal or official, he handled in strict order of priority. Never missed a beat. I'm Ella, his promised mate. I'd teased him about it more times than I could count. One evening, I tossed out the same question I'd asked a hundred times before: "Our Moon Vow ceremony has to be at the top of your list by now, right?" Every time I asked, he'd change the subject. There was always something more important. I could never figure out what could possibly matter more than bonding with me. Until the night I accidentally drank wine laced with wolfsbane at a banquet.
