The Luna He Left Behind Novels & Stories

It covered a good portion of my scar, and I was lucky that no one had said anything. "That's it!!" Sabrina squealed, causing me to jump. "You don't have to scream, women." I shot sarcasm her way. "I do like it though." "Of course you do, I chose that one." Jax's voice sounded from the doorway. My eyes shot across the room, taking in his handsome figure. He wore dark jeans and a button-down shirt, his boots thumping as he walked closer. "You look stunning, my Luna." His voice was low as he got closer to me, "one more gift," he said as he got closer.

“But after what happened, I couldn’t. You humiliated me. You called me a liar in front of everyone I knew. You made me feel like trash. How was I supposed to tell you I was pregnant?” He sat back, jaw tight. “You think that was easy for me? Watching that footage, thinking the one person I trusted betrayed me?” Luna's voice cracked. “You didn’t trust me, not even for a second.” “I trusted you too much,” he muttered bitterly. “That was the problem.” “I was twenty-one,” Luna added. “Alone. Broke. I didn’t even know where to go. So I left. I changed my name. I disappeared.”

Jackson mind-linked to me. “I love you too,” I replied, wiping away my tears. We were ready for the second part of the ceremony. Elder Johanna was leading the ritual. She approached us, placed her hand over our joined hands, prayed to Selene, and nodded to Jackson. “I, Jackson, Alpha of the Silver Moon pack, declare you, my mate Loreen Liira of the Silver Moon pack, our Luna—the Luna who will stand beside me to lead and protect our pack,” Jackson proclaimed. “I, Loreen Liira, born of the Lunar Eclipse pack and now a member of the Silver Moon pack, accept the title of Luna to Alpha Jackson and to our Silver Moon pack,” I said, locking eyes with him.

“Do you think Selene will still want the you after what she saw? After knowing you loved me first? After knowing she was just a substitute of me? Didn’t you get her because you couldn’t forget me? Isn’t that obvious? More obvious to her? And you think she would come back again to you? Or will even allow you go closer to her, I can help you explain and calm her down, if only I’ll be the next My chest burned. “You’re not going near her.” She tilted her head, walking a slow circle around me. “You don’t even know if she’s still here. She ran, Ronan. She ran because she realized what I’ve always known—she was temporary. And when someone knows they’re temporary, they don’t fight. They leave.” “I’l

“What do you mean, gone?” Emory shot up in bed, his brow furrowed. The priest dropped to his knees with a thud, holding out the photos with a trembling hand. “I was about to check on her when I saw a rogue wolf in her room. I think the Luna heard she was being sent north and flew into a rage. She… she said she’d rather find someone who actually appreciated her than be stuck with a man who didn't love her. And then… then the rogue carried her out!”

Something in my chest did the specific thing it did when Nadia said exactly the right thing at exactly the right moment. "Tell Eli it is another adventure," I said. "He will ask if it is a better adventure than the last one." "Tell him there is a garden." "That will be sufficient," she said. She started packing. The transport was arranged through Lira's private contact network — not chartered, not logged in any public transportation record, not connected to Voss territory's administrative infrastructure. Marcus confirmed the arrangements through a parallel verification that I did not ask to understand in detail. The vehicle left the second property at four forty-seven in the morning.

“Why don’t you have pictures with your mom?” The question landed harder than Luna expected. Around them the room stayed loud, but suddenly she only heard that one sentence. Why don’t you have pictures with your mom? Luna looked toward the window. Because she left. Because she chose money. Because she never came back. At least that was the story. Still… The image from the rain returned again. Seraphina standing there. Wet hair. Sad eyes. Looking at her like losing hurt. “I don’t know,” Luna said quietly.

Just with the distant mercy of someone who had moved on so completely that she could afford to be kind. "I'm not walking away," Luna said quietly. "I already left." She turned. No dramatic pause. No backward glance. No final word to soften the blow. Just decisive movement—the closing of a case file, the completion of a protocol, the final page of a chapter that had ended long before he'd realized it was over. Her heels clicked on the stone steps, then on the gravel path, then faded into the rhythm of the rain. Behind her, Kael's sobbing folded into the storm. The sound was raw, animal, utterly without dignity. It went on for a long time, long enough that even the thunder seemed to lower its

“Luna isn't here, mother. She ran away because she couldn't take it anymore. She’s out there somewhere... acting like a ghost because she thinks everyone is dead or corrupted.” “I know, baby, I know,” I said softly, squeezing his cold hand, my own tears flowing freely now. “But we are going to find her. I promise you, we are going to bring her back. But to do that, I need you, Leo. I need you to stay strong. I need you to assist me in this mission. For Luna. For you. For all of us to finally have a life where we can breathe without fear.”

Total silence blanketed the courtyard. Then, a bitter, hostile voice cut through the stillness like a knife. "Look at that! That is Luna Courtney! Alpha Diego's wife!" a voice snarled from the edge of the crowd, belonging to a visiting emissary from the Crescent Moon Pack. "She is a mated female, bound by blood law! She should not be seen kissing another man when her divorce with our Alpha is not finalized!" The crowd immediately erupted. Shouts, gasps, and furious arguments broke out among the people.
