The Luna He Raised Novels & Stories

And I—once a cast-off Luna—was at the eye of it. There was no going back. Only forward. Only fire.

He never did. That training ground wasn’t just for fighting. It was sacred. It was where the Wolf’s Crest stood an ancient mark of power carved into the earth itself. Every Alpha and Luna was blessed there. It was said that the Moon’s power burned strongest on that spot, choosing the true leaders of the pack. So why should I care about the feast? Why should I thank the Moon Goddess? For what? For making me wolfless? For giving me pain every single day? For taking my father and leaving me in the hands of people who despised me?

He said the name once. Veda Strain. He said it the way you said a name when you were finally placing it in the correct position in a picture you had been looking at from slightly the wrong angle for a very long time. Not with heat.

For eight years I did not know that."

There’s a note in Jeremy’s voice as if he’s telling me to stop, only now that I’ve started, I can’t. “He found me. Told me to shift. I knew what would happen if I didn’t. So, I shifted. And then he told me I would be a better Luna than Angel.

Luna's vulnerability only made me love her more, and I vowed to always be there for her, no matter what challenges we faced together. "Luna," I said, turning her face to the window where the sun was rising from the horizon, casting a warm glow over her delicate features. "You see that sun rising? Just as it will rise every day, my love for you will never fade." Luna turned to me with tear-filled eyes, her heart overflowing with gratitude for the unwavering support I promised her.

"Luna's Awakening" The days that followed the successful ritual at the ancient ruins brought a newfound sense of purpose and unity to Luna, Alpha Burst, Sierra, and Orson. They were now a tightly-knit group, committed to protecting the enchanted Nampa forest from the insidious threat of dark magic. Luna, in particular, had undergone a profound transformation.
