Novel & Cerita Sundrop X Moondrop Ao3

**The Silent Treatment** Elder Thorne stood beneath the ethereal glow of the moonlight, his heart swelling with both reverence and awe as he faced the moon goddess, a divine figure of unmatched beauty and power. Her silvery robes flowed around her like a celestial waterfall, shimmering gently as the soft breeze rustled the leaves overhead. The moon's radiant light poured forth, illuminating the sacred glade where he had ventured, his spirit filled with hope and purpose, seeking the moon goddess's wisdom to guide Caden, the young alpha, in his quest for a suitable luna.

Jason shoved me back, his body colliding with mine as he blocked the path, but the force of the predator’s swipe sent him staggering. I hit the ground hard. The world tilted, spinning, and when I looked up, silver eyes glowed above me. Claws reached out, closer, closer— And then Mateo was there. He slammed into the creature with a roar that shook through me, raw and feral. They crashed into the earth, claws against steel, snarls tearing through the night. Blood sprayed, hot and metallic, and I couldn’t tell whose it was. My heart thundered, panic clawing at my chest, but I couldn’t look away. Mateo’s eyes—burning gold, blazing wild—met mine for one instant in the middle of the chaos. A promi

Then 299,999. Then 299,998. Moons were disappearing. Not fading. Vanishing. Like someone was erasing stars. “They’re not going to the sky,” Dara whispered. “They’re going into the ground.” Under the trees, small lights flickered in the soil. Like seeds. But wrong. Cold. Suri knelt. Dug. Found one. A moon seed. White and pink twisted together. But cracked down the middle. “They’re falling,” she said. “The forest is eating the moons.”

Becca’s tea would have been good to taste tonight. Alpha Fauz's POV It was morning, I barely slept through the night. “I am not thinking about her today. I'm sure she would do well in her chambers,” I hummed to myself and also sounded a warning note to Finn. The Moon festival was around the corner. It was an annual festival where we celebrated eachother and worshipped our ancestors under the auspice of the full moon. More than this, the event serves as a front for political powers. New alliances are formed, boundaries are burnt, and mates are met. I had thought I would find myself a mate during this year's festival, but as it turned out, fate had it's plan.

I thought this was going to be easy, but it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. My heart was beating a thousand miles an hour, and I wanted to know if they felt the same way too. They didn't say anything else but studied me with their eyes. “What about you guys? Do you…” “Do we feel the same way for you?” “Yeah.” “Heck yeah, we do,” Logan said. “Sloane Moon, you are the best thing that has ever happened to us.” “You are the only one we see, mami. Our only girl.” “Fuck,” I breathed. “Hmm, not so fast, mami. Not just yet.”

“I want you, but not like this. If it weren’t for that Cup…” His words swam in her mind, and a sudden clarity cut through the haze: the Unity Cup. They’d said it was an aphrodisiac blend to heighten senses for the ceremony, but for her—the Moon-Kissed daughter of the Alpha—perhaps it was too potent, too intense. She blinked, realizing the pull between them was more than just instinct. “I… I feel dizzy,” she mumbled, slumping against him, her head lolling against his chest. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears, the world spinning in endless circles.

“Moonlight Pack Mate Awakening Ceremony! Where the heck have you been all this time? Well, that aside, back to what we were talking about—it’s exactly like your situation seven years ago: the moon goddess is giving her a taste of her own medicine.” “I know the moon goddess has a habit of pairing mates when she’s high on drugs. Too bad she’s one of her victims. I really hate that both of us have something in common now,” Aurora finally said with a shrug, tucking her hands into the pockets of her jacket as she started walking away from the forest. Sadie immediately rushed after her when she noticed her walking off. “Don’t tell me that you both having something in common is the only thing that

Her once billowing locks, kissed by the touch of moonlight, now cascaded in gentle waves, framing her form with an exquisite grace. In this hushed sanctuary, time seemed to stand still, suspended in the embrace of our shared vulnerability. The world beyond faded into insignificance, leaving only the pulsing heartbeat of our connection. We held each other, not as guild master and Lunari, but as kindred spirits, bound by a love that defied description.

"I can smell your desire. Do you understand how hard you're making this for me?" "I'm making it hard for you?!" I shoved out of the cage of his arms, standing up from the table. "I'm the issue here? Okay." I stalked from the room but he followed. "Maddie, we need to tell Xander." "So what? He can eliminate another threat to his Luna? Are you really that dense?!" "I am not a threat to you." His honey eyes burnt through me into my very soul. There was something wrong. A pull. A need. Shitballs, if I didn't get some control and fast, I might end up with two mates.
