The moon was full and shined brightly in the black sky. Kaynon lifted his head to stare into its light, feeling its mighty pull and relishing in its power.

After reading for some time he turned and frowned to see the cover page. "October breeze'. Is this the title." he asked in amusement. I nodded enthusiastically. "And may I know what this means." he questioned, cocking an eyebrow. I smiled and took his hand in mine. "Do you know what the speciality of October is?" I asked. "Of course.

"The wolf moon has passed us already. If nothing has changed by the night of the Hunter's moon, both Kaden and his pack will fall." I widened my eyes. The Hunter's moon, it was also known as the dying moon, it was in October. Which was also the month of my birth, I would be turning nineteen by then. What was I supposed to do?

“Now I’m old enough to potentially be chosen. You see, your aunt Kinshra is believed to have been one of the hunters, which may explain her incredible hearing. Did she still not tell you any of this?” Emory shook her head. She barely remembered the night of the last ceremony because nothing notable happened.

The last Hunter’s Moon fell on her sixteenth birthday, marking her one year in Broiia. Her memory of the lanterns floating across the sky was what remained. “I’ve asked her dozens of times but she’s never answered.”

Majesta smiled, petting Midnight. They both laughed. Midnight found his way to the back of the couch. Lying there with his paws under him, looking like he owned the place. If she had the camera, she would have taken a picture. She still really missed Pumpkin, but Midnight tried hard to fill the hole in her heart. “I was thinking November, but I really like the leaves in October.” Majesta told her as she twisted her hair. “Hmm, I think October would be better, fewer people to say they can’t come because of Thanksgiving. Plus, you would be showing about that time.” Amèliä pointed out with a smile.
