The Luna Trials By Marissa Gilbert Novels & Stories

I sniffled. “You’re the only worthy Luna. You’re going to show them. Now get up.” *** “The Luna Trials,” Evyn’s words echoed my thoughts. Every highly ranked individual in the pack was present to witness what might be my humiliation and the moon goddess’s ultimate rejection of me. Evyn got in because she’s the Alpha’s right hand’s girlfriend. Mom couldn’t make it because Barnette had to be in the hospital for one more night. The Luna Trials were held on the top of Daciana Peak. Of all the places they had to choose, this awful place. However, it was important to the pack

When she was sure that Travis was deeply asleep, she attempted to lift Travis's arm that was wrapped tightly around her waist. However, just as she managed to lift his arm a few inches, Travis's body tightened against hers again, causing Luna to hold her breath and close her eyes once more. She was afraid that Travis might wake up as she was about to put her plan into action. Luna waited for a few moments, ensuring Travis was sound asleep before attempting to pull his arm away from her waist once more. She succeeded this time. Travis seemed to be deeply lost in his dreams. Slowly, Luna began to lower her leg off the bed and made her way to a nearby cupboard, retrieving a hidden knife.

I pictured those same tits in my hands, her body twisting and moaning while I slapped them until they bounced and turned red. “Mother, what is going on?” Darius asked, snapping me out of the filthy haze. “Haven’t you noticed something strange about your city Luna?” He frowned, glancing between me and his mother. “What is strange?” “She has no scent,” his mother said. “I noticed it yesterday. She is fooling you.” Darius turned to me, “I noticed that too, Lyra. Why don’t you have a scent?” Tears burned at the corners of my eyes. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.

I wanted to scream so badly, but I bit my tongue. "We shall test her. Not through words. But through blood, instinct, and the goddess." She declared. I stiffened. That didn't sound good. "Test me how?" The woman stood. "You will enter the Trial of Thorns." I didn't know what that meant, but it sounded ominous. Cassian's jaw tensed. Bastard, he was probably holding back a smile. "What is that?" I asked slowly. Her eyes gleamed. " You're the Luna, you should know this." But I didn’t, so shut the fuck up and answer. "A ritual of truth. A sacred test that reveals your loyalty, your intentions, your deepest truths... even the ones you hide from yourself."

or "I know what's going on." For two weeks, the other "Luna" hung out in their villages, following Ellie around, sometimes taking notes in a notebook, other times, asking if she could try something herself for practice. Ellie was obliging, of course, doing everything she could to help the other woman, as if she was actually a Luna in training. After those two weeks, River was even more convinced than ever that she wasn't a true Luna. One night after Sylvia had gone home for the evening, River sat down on the couch next to Ellie, waiting for her to put the magazine she was leafing through down and noticed that he was looking at her.

Will you be my Luna? Her heart rose a bit in question. She clenched her fist in other to rein in her nerves. Lady Walter was still talking. “The moon will be full in a week’s time. We will celebrate Justin on his journey to the moon, and we will celebrate you Kihara, the Luna of our pack if you say yes.” Lady Walter stood up, her speech concluded. “I know you lobe my son, and I know he returns your feelings. What the two of you share between each other is beautiful.” Lady Walters hands were cold on hers as she took Kihara’s hand in hers, sneezing it a little as if to pass Kihara her strength. “I hope that helps you choose well.” Then she was gone, leaving Asher alone with Kihara as she close

Chapter Ninety Nine: The Alpha Celebration — A Luna Presented Ronan’s POV The dawn broke quietly over the pack grounds, but inside me, a storm raged like thunder. Today was the day. The day of the Alpha celebration. The day I was supposed to stand before my pack and claim not just the title, but my place beside my Luna — Selene. But she was nowhere to be found. ⸻ The grand hall was already alive with noise when I entered. The air buzzed with chatter and laughter, the scent of incense and roasted meat thick and heavy.

The celebration from the Luna Trials continued long into the night. Bonfires burned throughout Knox-Shade Pack and music echoed through the streets. Children ran between houses carrying silver ribbons and moonflowers. For the first time in many years, the pack had something worth celebrating. Not a victory in war or the defeat of an enemy, but the rise of a Luna. Inside her chamber, Aria sat quietly before the mirror. The room was empty except for her. Her fingers slowly touched the place on her wrist where the silver runes had appeared during the trial.

They kept glancing at me—some with pity, some with strange amusement, and a few with quiet hope. My eyes searched for the one wolf who still mattered most in this fight. I found him. Tristan stood with Genevieve right beside him. When our eyes met, his face turned full of murder. When I looked at her, she wore a strange expression, like she had seen a ghost instead of me. Suddenly a shy Luna hurried over to me. She wore a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and thick glasses. Her face was so pale that my heart ached for her. She smiled nervously and kept looking over her shoulder as if she was afraid someone would see her talking to me.
