Tangled In Moonlight: Unshifted Novels & Stories

The bass thumped through the crowded mansion like a second heartbeat, but Elena Voss felt hers stuttering in her throat. Crystal chandeliers cast fractured light across designer dresses and tailored suits, while laughter sliced through the air like shards of glass. This was supposed to be a celebration. Richard Hale’s latest business triumph but for Elena, it felt like walking a tightrope over a pit of wolves.

To the western horizon. The sun was setting. The moon was rising. I smiled. "No." The moonlight hit me like a detonation. It had been building all day, that faint pull, the whisper of connection that I'd felt since dawn. The moon had been there, hiding behind the daylight, waiting. Now it crested the eastern horizon, fat, golden, enormous, the power flooded into me like a river breaking a dam. This was why I hadn't shifted. Why I'd taken his hits.

He said as he put the plates on the table along with two baskets “What things?” Ben asked “What’s going to happen? Carrie asked “Your Luna will be shifting to her wolf tomorrow night” “WHAT?” both Ben and Carrie said in shock “No. There’s no full moon tomorrow. All previous bloodlines have always shifted at the full moon” Carrie began “She is the Astrid. She doesn’t require the moon. The moon helps the shifter, It gives it strength and calmness so that person can shift without the wolf completely taking over. The Astrid require no such help. She is the complete being. It is she who guides the moon, not the moon guide her”

Run, or prepare for death and destruction. Layla doesn't know any of this, and after the attack a few days ago, I wonder if that is a coincidence or a sign as to what is ahead in our future. I turn to her as she sits here admiring the stars and the night sky. I look around and see the fireflies have stopped doing their dances, the toads have stopped croaking, even the crickets have stopped singing. The wind is too calm, like the calm before the storm. Everything seems to have stopped with bated breath, waiting for the moon's tears to come to an end. I feel tense, unsure, and angry. Why must this happen now? Just when I have found what could possibly be my happiness.

I was just glad that she was finally getting in touch with Earth again and not getting locked up in her room anymore. It’s funny, the fact that the only way I could protect them was by staying away from them. It made my heart burn. But I had no choice. **** I arrived at Club Moon in thirty seconds and went straight in through the VIP door. There was no way I was joining the damn queue. My body bounced to the beat as my eyes searched for the man inside the sea of people. My phone pinged. X: Look up, gorgeous. Me: Nobody tells me what to do.

they responded in chorus and disappear. "The light of the first moon will lead you to it. The chorus of the song that will wake her up in a dream. Fragments of fragments will show. Her powers can destroy or restore. Wicked is the heart that love and weaker is the love that steals. Who owns the priestess that no one can steal?" Lynx said as if the words are some of magical clues that can give him all the answers. "Our first clue is the first moon, we waited for the new moon but nothing happened and tonight will be the first full moon after that incident" Nathaniel said

I saw him dialing his cellphone, but I turned it off, so I won’t be able to receive any messages and calls today, especially coming from Ethan. Protecting him means staying away from him. I walked towards the bed and lay my back down on the soft mattress. I closed my eyes and remembered the taste of his blood. I swallowed hard, suddenly getting hungry, but not for the food. It was not even hunger for Ethan’s blood. My eyelids open, glancing at the digital calendar on my bedside. I had to be careful around Ethan because the moon would be full a few days from now, and I had to remind myself to stay away from him until the new phase of the moon.

It was a risk to delve deeper into its secrets, just as it was a risk to consider marrying someone whose true nature remained elusive to me. And then there was Mr. Blackwood, whose allure and dangerous charm tempted me to tread even further into uncertain waters. Each decision seemed to carry its weight of consequences, each path fraught with peril and intrigue. Yet, amidst the chaos of conflicting emotions and entangled relationships, I couldn't deny the exhilarating pull of the unknown, beckoning me to explore deeper into the mysteries that surrounded me. My phone's shrill ring pierced through the silence of the midnight hour, jolting me awake from deep thoughts. Startled, I fumbled to gra

"Doesn’t matter. You need protection. We all do. And a coven bond will make us stronger than anything Zach—or Derek—can throw at us." Rita’s chest warmed. She set the bowl aside. "Okay. Let’s do it." Midnight – The Old Oak Grove The moon hung full and heavy over the clearing, its silver light filtering through the ancient oak branches. The girls had chosen this spot for its energy—a natural convergence point where the earth’s magic pooled like water.

There is no need to be thankful; I was the one who caged you. I sighed while reading the draught that she had left for me. I prayed to the Moon Goddess to fulfill her life with happiness just like mine and thanked her at the same time for making sense to Jasmine. I couldn’t imagine if she would have kept me in that bloody cage for years, like a criminal in jail. I didn’t check the attachment because it might have taken a couple of hours to study it, and I also had to talk with Moana before morning because Hope would stick with her like glue and I wouldn’t get the chance again.
