The Hidden Luna Novels & Stories

Lydia said. He turned instantly, a flash of relief crossing his face. “Lydia.” She stepped beside him and slid her hand into the crook of his arm. “Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to keep my Alpha waiting.” Nina’s smile faltered. “And you are?” “I’m Lydia,” she said sweetly. “Knox’s mate. His Luna. I think you’ve heard of me—or is something else the matter?” There was a pause—thick, uncomfortable silence as the word Luna settled into the space between them.

“You knew her?” Auren’s silence was an answer. He looked away, as though the past had claws. “We don’t have time for that story right now. But you deserve to know she wasn’t just anyone. She was Luna of the Hidden Court. And you—” His gaze met mine again, sharp as a blade’s edge. “You’re her heir.” The words sank in slowly, painfully. “That’s impossible.” “I wish it were.” Something inside me trembled — not fear this time, but something rawer. The air around us seemed to hum in response. The faint silver glow from my hands began again, faint but growing.

I was unpleasantly surprised when I came downstairs. Sienna was standing in my kitchen looking at me like she wanted to kill me. She is my brother’s and Alpha’s best friend. She is 25, just like my brother and Alpha, and she has been hanging out with them since childhood. Now, she is clinging on to them like they are a lifeboat. She was devastated when she found out that neither my brother nor Alpha were her mates. That didn’t stop her from trying to become Luna. She is always around Alpha, proving herself and trying to convince him to take her as his chosen mate.

I know I should be grateful they found me when they did but most times, I can’t help but wish they left me to die in the shadows among the trees. “Tonight, we wear our finest dresses, dance, and act like we don’t have a care in the world and if the moon goddess finds us worthy; we’ll find our mate got it?” Kim’s sweet voice takes that bossy edge she loves to use. “Yes, boss.” “Now, if you don’t mind can we start breakfast before Luna wakes up? You know how she gets when food’s late.” Kim smirks, “Deal, the sooner we start, the sooner we finish,”

She doesn’t look at me or say anything but instead walks to the counter where two trays of pastries are beautifully laid out. I follow her over and stop beside her. Her hands are resting on the tray in front of her, but she’s gazing out the window into the snow. “I know it’s a bit frightening to not remember exactly what happened in the cottage,” the luna started, “but Jacinda has never betrayed us. She has been quite helpful on several occasions, and our pack would not be as strong as it is today if it weren’t for her… generosity.” The cryptic way Luna Imogen was talking irritated me, but I held my tongue. If Jacinda had proven to be an asset, then we needed her

I leaned my head back against the pillow and closed my eyes before yawning. “Luna, how are you feeling?” The doctor asked and my eyes shot open. “What?” I stammered, looking at Blake and then the doctor. “You are a Luna wolf?” He questioned and I slowly nodded my head. “Yes.” I breathed out. “Ryley, why didn’t you tell me?” Blake asked and I sighed. “I didn’t want anyone to know. I know Luna wolves are rare. I was protecting Lily. But I couldn’t let Aspen die.” Blake wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his side.

she heard herself say. He inclined his head as if in satisfaction, and the hall seemed to fold back into itself. The maidens dispersed, lines breaking like dry paper. Luna felt hands brush her skirt as they filed, a million tiny tremors of fear and avoidance. Selene pressed something into her palm, small and crumpled, a number of marks in charcoal, directions perhaps, or a key to some hidden seam. Luna hid them beneath her palm as if shielding embers. She left the hall with her body intact but hollowed out in a way she had not known possible. Roman’s attention trailed her like a long shadow she could not shed. The knowledge of the demonstration sat on her shoulders, heavy and warm and deadly

she said, "I'm done running. And I'm done hiding. And I need him to see —" "See what?" Luna smiled. It wasn't a nice smile. "See what he threw away." --- Later that night, after the pups were asleep in their rented room above the pack house tavern, Luna sat alone by the window. The moon was full. The same moon that had watched her bleed in the forest. The same moon that had watched her give birth in a cave. The same moon that had watched her crawl, and struggle, and survive. Five years, she thought. Five years, and I'm back.

They were the chosen few, entrusted with keeping the world’s delicate equilibrium. But the road to this realization was not without detours. Luna discovered that her family's heritage had been kept hidden for ages to protect them from those who wished to misuse their power. A startling insight rushed over Luna as she observed the beautiful carvings on the altar, her fingertips tracing the complex patterns. The markings cut into the stone were more than just adornment; they were a secret message, a key to her family's hidden past. Luna collected all her expertise and began decoding the old language with renewed zeal.

"I'm sure that was just her trickery, right, Darling?" "Sorry, my dear Luna. I agree with Rutherford," Ikaros said. The man glanced at me for a moment, and our eyes met. "I want to scold you. But you look pale. Are you sick?" I refused to answer. I had suddenly turned into a terrifying furry creature, and I began to believe that Lorelei was a witch, or at the very least, I was being pranked and there was a hidden camera capturing my expression. Now the fur was gone from my skin, but I was still traumatized.
