True Luna By Tessa Lilly Novels & Stories

Bella said with rage before approaching me in her battle stance. “Well kids, first lesson is you should never underestimate your opponent.” I said as I speedily charged forward hitting the so-called Luna’s abdominal followed by dragging her leg and swinging her in circles before releasing her into a tree causing her to collapse down with blood dripping down her forehead and blood being spat out of her mouth.

But someone had to show up at the wedding so that’s why I was here now. He approached me and took one of my hands. OK here it comes, I am about to be a Luna. Everyone looked excited, especially our parents, together they’ll become an invincible pack. Except for Curtis, he had no facial expression, just like a stone, looking at me deadly in the eyes. He stared at me for like a whole century and then shook off my hand. “I reject you as my mate.” Then he ran and disappeared. Are you fucking kidding me? Seemed like everyone here had the habit of running away. Ugh, Am I the only one who knows what responsibility means?

The kids were abuzz with chatter, asking all sorts of questions. “Emily! Elizabeth! Don’t smother my daughter!” A woman with tanned skin and flowing black hair chuckled. So that was the previous Luna of the Lunar Lake pack. She was so beautiful, and the children all immediately flocked back to her. “So, who do we have here?”

When Luna fell asleep in Tessa’s arms on the way home, her small hand still clutched a pink balloon. Tessa looked down at her, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “You deserve the world, bunny,” she whispered. “And I’ll give it to you… even if no one else will.” ~~~6:30 PM~~~ The van rolled through the mansion gates, headlights sweeping across the marble driveway. Tessa held Luna’s tiny hand as they stepped out together. She had thought the little girl would still be asleep by now—but Luna wouldn’t stop chattering, her voice bubbling with joy.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out it was probably Ace that did it, or maybe Maddie on his orders though. I must have drifted off to sleep again for a while, and when I woke up, I was shocked, utterly speechless. Luna Lily was sitting beside me reading through a binder of some kind. She is stunning, all regal elegance and true grace with her auburn hair tied regally in a chignon and her eyes downcast to a book sitting in her lap. I stir, and she looks up from her book giving me a soft smile as she marks her place and closes the book gently.

I needed to hold on to something or someone, or I might fall soon. A glint of wickedness sparkled in her eyes before she turned her body to face me, extending her hand. “Anna Estelle Weldon…” She began, and goosebumps rose on my skin. “...Newman. Future Luna of the Silver Moon Pack.” I heard her, but more than anything else, I wanted to know one more thing. ‘Are you fated mates?’ I asked Zach in our heads.

“A weak, unwanted nothing. You might have a new pack, but deep down, you'll always be that pathetic girl we all knew.” I felt Xander tense beside me, ready to defend my honor, but I placed a hand on his arm. This was my battle to fight. Taking a deep breath, I stepped closer to Kara, my voice low but clear. “You're right Kara. I've changed a lot. Now, I'm stronger and more powerful than you ever thought possible. I'm the real Luna, selected by the Moon Goddess herself. And I'm here to help protect your pack, whether you want me to or not. So I recommend you stop your small-minded dislike and concentrate on staying alive.”

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.

"Are you." 'Stay back.' Danica's voice growled with a hint of menace. There was something oddly familiar about that voice. It wasn't until I looked at her eyes once more that I knew... her rogue side had managed to awaken. "What's going on, alpha?" Chris hissed, cutting his gaze to me. "What is happening to Luna?" "I don't know." Turning my gaze back to Danica, I tried to make sense of what was going on. Was this due to her being unable to process the loss of Bryllie? It was similar to what Martha said happened to her when her parents were murdered.

And the Grove held every word. Luna continued writing, her hand steady, her breath syncing with the Grove’s pulse. Each line she inscribed wasn’t just ink—it was rhythm. She wrote of the lullaby, of the naming, of the warning. She wrote of the child’s breath, the sanctuary’s silence, the flame’s memory. The scroll shimmered beneath her fingers, glowing in silver and violet. Lucien whispered, “It’s alive.” Aria nodded. “It’s listening.” Kaelion stood guard. “Then we protect it.”
