The Luna Is Gone Novel Novels & Stories

Chapter 24: For the One You Love "HOW did you have that?" the maiden asked the old man with a tone filled with astonishment. Luna could have left the tribe immediately, yes. But! The sudden appearance of a notebook resembling her own notebook that she got from Shelaine filled the girl's heart with curiosity. And as Renato noticed this, he took her to the house of his niece, who was also one of Edgar's victims but was saved from the fire that turned the rats’ house into ashes.

Everyone on the room had gone speechless from the story that Ernaline had just told them. " Lucretia really do all of this?" Lewis asked speechless as he stared at a Ernaline. Who would have thought that their Luna that is so highly respected was nothing but a murder and she didn't just kill one person but an entire family. "She had done a lot more than this to become the destined Luna" she spoke, Xavier did see a word he just stood with his eyes wide open listening to their conversation.

Chef Liza commented as they all chuckled. “Stop threatening me. We have to go now, my cousins are waiting.” Gavin said finally looked at all of them. “We'll be back,” Luna uttered. She felt a bit sad to leave the island even though they will just be gone for a while. Maybe it's because she's already used to waking up, going to the balcony and seeing the ocean. There will be no kind of these things in the city. “We have the same size in shoes,” Clyde mentioned. Gavin chuckled and quickly got what he was trying to imply.

Now, they felt foreign, unwelcoming, just as they had the day she was cast out. But she was no longer Ayla, the weak mate unworthy of an Alpha’s love. She was Layna now, a nameless healer seeking refuge. A wanderer with no past, no attachments. Her face, once delicate and familiar, had been reshaped by the Moon Goddess’s will. Her softer features had sharpened, her emerald-green eyes darkened into a stormy hue. The woman Kael had once known—the woman he had broken—was gone. And even if he stood before her, even if he looked into her eyes, he would not recognize her.

I low sob escapes my mouth, but my eyes are now dried. That I could make such a lengthy quote from this books tells of how many times I have read it. How many times I have spent cold lonely nights staring at those underlined lines…and imagining everything. It was like a silent promise. From him to me. A promise that will never be fulfilled. “But now, Ma, he doesn’t want me anymore. And I swear, I did nothing wrong. But he has chased me away. J am no longer Luna, Ma.” Feeling dejected, my hand falls, and the book falls from it.

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

**The Banished Luna** **Chapter 1 — Shadows Before the Moon** The moonlight poured through the narrow window, silvering the dust that hung in the air. I tugged my worn cloak tighter around my shoulders as I stacked the last bundle of herbs on the healer’s table. My fingertips were raw from picking nettles all afternoon, but the sting was nothing compared to the constant ache of being invisible. Invisible — except when I was a problem. “Aria, you’re slow again.” The healer’s sharp voice snapped me from my thoughts. She didn’t look up from grinding roots in her mortar. “If you can’t keep up, I’ll tell Beta Rowan to find someone else.”

"About the Luna." My heart slams against my ribs. "What about her?" She swallows hard and her eyes go wide with a mixture of fear and pity. "They are saying... they are saying Luna Rhea was pregnant. That Alpha Miles left her for her sister. That... that the Luna had an accident and lost the baby. Alone." She takes a shaky breath. "And now... now she is gone. No one knows where she went." I am trying to keep my head coherent enough to understand what she is saying. Pregnant. Miscarried. Alone. Gone.

Mia growled and she exhaled. “What the hell do you want? You left Jasper a few years ago, why are you back?” Marie demanded, confused and Mia exhaled. “When I left him, he was miserable, he called me every day and pleaded for me to come back until that bitch came into the picture to ruin everything. She ruined everything and made him fall for her, there was no way I would be letting my mate be with someone as low as her and now that I’m ready to become the Luna of the pack, Jasper is depriving me of my position because of that bitch and if she doesn’t leave the picture, there’s no way I’d ever become Luna.” She explained and Marie scoffed.

"No sad faces. We're going out. You've been cooped up in here doing what? Crying? Planning world domination?" I sighed. "Just... processing." Elena surveyed my apartment—the empty wine bottles,the stack of resignation paperwork,the half-eaten takeout containers. "Well,you've processed enough. Get dressed. We're hitting Crescent Moon." "The nightclub? I don't think—" "Not a request." She was already rummaging through my closet. "You need tequila,dancing,and possibly a deliciously bad decision with a handsome stranger." Two hours later,we were ensconced in a corner booth at Crescent Moon,the bass pulsing through my bones as Elena pushed another shot toward me.
