The Moon Rises In The Novels & Stories

Tonight was supposed to be a celebration for everyone, but for her, it was a chance to be more than just the runt of the pack. The murmurs of the crowd grew silent as the moon began its ascent. The moment the Red Moon was fully visible, Yasmin felt it—the charged electricity that seemed to ripple through the square. A collective gasp echoed from the crowd as the energy of the moon worked its magic. She heard howls of excitement, saw people turning to one another, their eyes wide with realization. Mates were finding each other, bonds were snapping into place, and the joy in the air was palpable.

Whatever happens, we'll face it together. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. "When should we begin?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Sera's violet eyes locked onto mine, a mysterious smile playing at her lips. "The moon tonight is a New Moon," she said, her voice taking on an almost musical quality. "Moonrise would be the ideal time to complete the ritual. The darkest night, when new beginnings are born." A shiver ran through me at her words. The New Moon - a time of potential and renewal. It felt right, somehow, that we should attempt this now.

They both sat on the bench looking at the sunset that was happening behind the mountain range. "Isn't it so calm and beautiful? The moon will rise above the sky soon and will replace the sun. Even though it gets its light from the sun, the moon is still considered more beautiful than the sun as we could see it with our naked eye without getting hurt." Eunice said. Anayka smiled and looked at the setting sun once. Then she turned her head to the other side and saw the full moon proudly rising in the sky to walk the night. "Grandma, is there really no cure for the poison that's spread in their body?" Anayka asked Eunice.

The moment he shifted would be the moment where his training would officially begin. Enchantress Inessa stood beside Calliope and held her hand tightly. Silently comforting and preparing her for what’s about to come. Everyone was waiting for the moon to reveal itself as Morgan rose from his seat and stood in the middle of the crowd. Romero was smiling widely while the pack members keep on congratulating him. The whole pack went still and silent as they watched the sun slowly set while the moon takes over. Morgan closed his eyes and held the star in his hands tightly.

Phoenix crouches down on the other side of me, his hand on my back as he asks, “Won’t that be dangerous?” Cora looks out the window where there is a sunny sky and she says, “You’ll need to do it before the moon rises and hits it’s peak. Once the full moon is in place tonight then there’s a high chance you’ll be trapped. Your soul lost in the ascension.”

A way for my pack to show off their female population. My eyes scanned the crowd but neither really saw through the mass of bodies nor heard far due to the music blaring from the speakers. The fairy lights covering the pillars and the railings were eye-catching but what stood at the spotlight was the moon. I might have forgotten it was a full moon night today. How magnificent it felt, to be under the moonlight that seeped through the clouds, falling on us from time to time. A male gestured me over, and despite my nerves, I approached him with a curtsy when I sensed the power coming from him. He smelt of gamma blood, a third in command or the warrior wolf.

ADRIANA’S POV My horror at watching the inevitable death of the man who saved me gets distracted by the full moon rising high in the sky. Coming out and shining even more, I didn't know if it was me or that was actually happening but it stood intimidating in the night sky. Like it was reminding us of its presence, as if to say this is being witnessed. I felt a sense of ease, feeling as though the moon had spoken. Telling me I wasn't alone in this.

"Which is?" "That the rogues are still at our borders. That Thaltos is still out there planning his next move. That we're running out of time before the real fight begins." He glanced at the sky. Clouds were moving in. "There's a storm coming tonight. Good conditions for advanced power training. Meet me in the clearing at midnight." "Another late night session?" "The best time to train Lunar abilities is under the moon. And tonight's moon will be particularly strong." He started to walk away, then paused. "You did well today, Sera. Your fighting has improved significantly. You're becoming what you need to be."

She thought to herself. Sundown is fast approaching as the final traces of the sun dipping into the horizon. On the opposite side, the moon has risen, and very soon, red and orange hues will appear when the earth’s moon is encapsulated in a total lunar eclipse, a phenomenon known as the blood moon. Cupping her hands by the side of her mouth, she bellowed. “Hello! Is there anybody there?”

The day of the full moon had arrived, bringing with it a palpable tension that hung heavy in the air. If the predictions held true, Mason and his werewolves would launch their attack today. The uncertainty surrounding the exact timing of the assault only heightened the unease. Moonrise occurred at 21:14, with the peak of the full moon set for 12:48 AM. Would the enemy strike before, during, or after the peak? Without a spy among the enemy pack to help them with such information, there was no way to know for sure. This detail only added to the tension, casting a shadow over their anticipation of what was to come.
