Reaper Of The Drifting Moon Novels & Stories

he murmurs. Rolling my eyes I cross my arms leaning back in my chair, “care to share with the class?” He presses his palms together and asks, “son, have you ever heard of the Reapers?” I frown, “No. What is a Reaper?” He leans over, “so when you die, the Reaper is the one who severs your bond from this world that lets you move onto the next. For us back to the Moon Goddess. They are curious beings and only those who have seen traumatic death can see them. I’m sure there is one in our pack right now, waiting for someone to die. They are nearly untraceable and hold no allegiances to anyone but their task. Sever the bond, let the soul move on.”

I wait til I hear feel the cold air drifting into the kitchen and the soft sound of a door closing before glancing into the hallway again. Through the doors glass I could see Embers back to me. The left side of her body was eliminated white from the moon and her hair looked like silver threads as they hung down her back. Creeping towards the door she shifts and a second later a see a silvery gold wolf dashing across the snow, her body low as she ran.

As if, it was helping him stay sane against the siren's song of doom. Eve was trying hard to break free from my hold. The white cape of the reaper is practically part of their skin. Their capes ate part of their bodies. That's why, it was the hardest for her to break free when I was pulling onto her cape. Moon was holding Ocean in his arms, restraining her from going away. As no one went into their dane, the sirens made their way out of their danes, to get to their prey.

I scooted closer as our voices dropped to a low whisper. “Well.” She looked behind her to make sure Sam and Mrs. Cannon weren’t coming back, “This one guy said this morning, that the Delazar’s are creating trouble in Shadowcreek right now. They are tearing up the town looking for Hunter. He’s a big deal in their clan, Jay. He’s the leader of their reapers, the list holder. But I think he’s even more than that.”

Luric slid a platter full of delectables in front of me. "Please eat your fill princess I'm certain that your child is just as hungry as you," he said sincerely and poured tea into another cup and offered it to me. I grabbed it brushing his long fingers and froze at the tingles that went down my arm like electricity. I instantly looked up into his strange eyes. I noticed that his smile was gone and his brow was deeply furrowed. "My full name is Skye Evanore Sylric and I'm the reaper queen and queen of the northern elves," I said softly and he nodded.

He heard the old man grumble as he went back to the kitchen to get Tarrin the chocolate milk in new cup. Once the old butler brought him the to go cup, they said their goodbyes. Walking out into the chilly night air, Tarrin took a deep breath and looked up towards the moon. It wouldn’t be long and the soft hay colored glow would be in full circle while he was locked up for the night. He felt a twinge of longing to see the moon when it was full, Tarrin couldn't remember what it looked like, even if he caught a glimpse after the wolf came out, he still forgets by morning.

All I knew was to run away. My running stopped as soon as I reached a lake. I have no clue where this lake was or how far I had come but I knew I was still in the pack land. I could sense the borders pull just some meters away from where I stood. Glad that it was a full moon night, I collapsed by the lake's bank that imitated the role of a mirror. The clear water of the lake reflected the round moon like an acrylic painting on a huge irregular shaped canvas. One word; breathtaking. Though I didn't intend to ruin the pretty picture, my throat was absolutely parched. Tongue lapping at the water in desperation, I slowly slid myself in the water to calm the aching of my muscles.

He questioned, seeing the nervousness in my eyes and my mouth almost tasting metallic. "Yes, I think I am." I let it out without fear, I'm the Moonglow, reincarnation of the moon goddess at least that was the mantra I chanted to myself as assurance now and then. The car eased into the driveway and there were many more wolves than the last time beta wolves, omega wolves and Gamma wolves. Just as my eyes were doing the physical calculation. One of the betas walked towards us. His face was scarred and his build was visible from the jersey shirt he worked on. His platinum blond hair was nearly brushed in Jerry curls.

She tried to free herself but could not. A low chuckle echoed through the shadows. “Welcome home, my Moon-blessed Queen,” Draven’s voice hissed. “Let’s see how divine you truly are when the Moon cannot hear your cries.” Aria lifted her head, silver eyes blazing even through the pain. “You’ll never win,” she whispered. “Because the Moon always rises….even after the darkest night.” Draven’s smirk widened. “We’ll see.” The torchlight flickered out, leaving only silence and the faint pulse of Aria’s heartbeat echoing in the void.

The crescent moon was high in the sky and surrounded by millions of tiny stars. The night was as picturesque as they came and I could feel the night calling to me. Selene was restless in my mind and was pushing to be let out, but I hadn’t shifted since that night with Jasper.
