Romans & histoires Once Upon A Full Moon

Episode 61: Full moon . The following day, Grandpa asked me to go with Rohan and give immediate help to the pack for the preparation of the full moon tonight. And while Rohan gave them the needed equipment, I called back home and made sure that Hogan was also doing the same thing and secondly, keeps an eye on George and his notorious friends ..

ALUNA'S POV The moon rose slowly over the clearing, silver light spilling over the pack hall and bathing the forest in an eerie glow. Tonight wasn’t just any night—it was my sixteenth birthday, the night of the full moon, the night when the wolfless would awaken their wolves and the mateless would finally meet their mates. My chest throbbed with anticipation.

“Rule One: Do not run. There is nowhere to go, and the hounds are faster than your screams. Rule Two: Do not lie to a werewolves here.They can smell truth and they will take what they’re owed, one way or another. Rule Three: Never, under any circumstances, touch the silver doors at the east wing. What lives behind them only obeys the king so no guard would save you. Rule Four: If the bell tolls twice at midnight, stay in your quarters. Even if something is scratching at your door. Rule Five: Never speak the King’s name unless he gives you permission. If he hears it without offering it, your tongue will be the price. Rule six: no fraternizing. Moonhowl allows you to repopulate but it's forbid

"Picking me up for what? Lunch?" Mum’s face went slack. Her eyes widened, and then narrowed into slits of maternal fury. "Oh, for the love of..." she slammed the cookbook down. "Don't tell me he didn't tell you." "Tell me what?" I asked, a bad feeling curling in my gut. "Today is the full moon, Luna," Mum said, her voice tight. "The first full moon since the transition. Tonight is the Pack Gathering." She rubbed her temples, looking like she wanted to strangle someone. Probably Liam.

Lighting up the night like it was trying to compete with the sun. The full moon. My mind raced back to conversations I’d only half paid attention to. The curse gets worse during the full moon. The hunger spirals. Three years ago they’d killed almost all their guards and it wasn’t even a full moon. And now here we were. On the night of the selection. The night they’d be surrounded by other alphas and the council and hundreds of witnesses. On the night of a full moon. Something was going to happen. I could feel it in my bones. In the way the air tasted wrong. In the way they were all standing too still, like they were fighting against something invisible.

"Why do we need to wait for the full moon?" "You know, in our race, every hundredth reays, there's a vampire that has been gifted by the mysterious moon with an extraordinary strenght. I'm one of those vampires. That's why we need to do it during full moon." "Okay," she agreed then nod. "But, can I have a favor?" "What?" he asked. "Can we not meet again after you get rid of the poison in my body? Let's just mind our own businesses in life. Let's stop seeing each other, shall we?"

She stood in front of his office door contemplating whether or not to enter until the door sprung open. "I thought I should help you make a decision." Major Daniels blurted out, walking back to his seat. "Sir, I-I'm sorry...about earlier..." "You shouldn't be sorry to me." He retorted and brought out a case file titled 'The Full Moon Serial Murder Case.' The file was named after the full moon because the murder always took place during the full moon just like two days back if not that this month's murder came a few hours earlier.

Caroline gasp at his words and started to fan herself faster. "Oh no! Tonight was supposed to be perfect! It is not safe out there for those searching for their mates" She looked at me. "Luna, we must put it on hold at once. Duncan and his men know what they are doing when they attack on a full moon night. Duncan and his rouges are already filthy and powerful, now imagine on a full moon night" She cried out.

"If you had been raised properly, none of this would be happening. As a halfling, you already are weaker than the others. After tonight, we can only hope these confusing emotions will go away." "What do you mean? What's happening tonight?" I asked, feeling a heavy weight growing in my gut. "You will finally transform," he said, setting his cup down. "Tonight is a full blood moon, it is the perfect night to make the transition." "Can we only transform on full moons...?" I asked, tilting my head, unsure how much the werewolf movies and legends got right.

She just wanted to make sure that everyone there was someone she trusted, and that there was no one unfamiliar to her. That was her only chance to make a good plan and help Selena. So she couldn't make any mistakes. After ensuring everything was fine, she looked at Clifford again, since he was in front of her. "All of you know that tale about the Full Moon, right?" A lot of them nodded in agreement, but a few others remained still, like they had no idea of what she was talking about. "Ah, of course." Grandma pat her forehead. "I forgot there was some humans among us tonight." she smiled at the group that didn't know about the story.
