Upper Moon Four Novels & Stories

“You have succeeded, impressive for a first timer like you. It took me a few months before I could connect with mine.” “That was it?” “You should keep doing this until you are sure where to find it.” “Did you often get lost?” “How do I explain this? Think of it as an invisible maze, but the path leads you not your legs.” “I think I kind of get it.” “We shall return to camp.” We travelled back to the summit. The moon threatened to graze my skin again. Its magnitude pulled me closer, like a tide rising from its usual level. My hands opened towards the source of light, but a powerful tug brought me back to reality.

The moon hung low in the sky, its silver light casting an ethereal glow over the clearing. It was a waxing gibbous, nearly full, the night thick with anticipation for what was to come. Tomorrow, they would march on Sakura Heiei, a mission to rescue Johnson, Isagani, and the others who had been captured. Alice knew she had to be ready—her powers of vision, psychometry, and telepathy were their key to survival. But controlling them in this era had always been a struggle, and tonight was her last chance to master them before the dangerous mission.

Stephen smirked. “Yeah you’re right. This place fits me well.” They all talked for a while but now it was getting dark the moon was coming out. “We should probably go inside.” Greg said. “I think the supper’s also ready.” Stephen told. Dara kept on looking at the moon. It seemed as the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. Ellen shook Dara, “Come on honey it’s getting dark and cold.” Dara went inside with her family but she wished to stare at that beautiful thing for a little longer.

9: Four months ago . . . The moon was at its lowest ebb and this was a secluded corner of the cemetery. The night sky was cloudless but it was still very dark. Jim stood for a moment, letting his eyes get used to the gloom. All the better to see the grave, to admire its beauty.

I ask him, “What’s going on? Why are they chained?” “Today was supposed to be the day of the Full Moon Hunt, was it not?” His question makes me shiver. “Yes. And?” His smile widens. “And it’s just begun, Alpha Alec.” He then turns to his own Beta and says, “Release them!” The Omegas are sent running, bound to the woods. The silver will prevent them from shifting, but that doesn’t mean they can’t run. I realize what’s happening here. We’ll be the predators, and they’ll be the prey. Alpha Fredrick nods at me before saying, “It’ll be a hunt nobody will ever forget.”

As soon as we reached his office and closed the door we got straight to why I was there. "Alpha, This concerns your Luna and your friends Alpha and Luna Goodman. Would you please call for them to join us." I said as I sat down on the plush red sofa across the room from his desk where he was seated. "Absolutely." he said before his eyes greyed over, communicating with them. It wasn't long before they arrived at the office. Michelle and Amber looked ready to pop. The next full moon is only a few weeks away. I breathe a sigh knowing how shocked they are going to be. I rise and bow to them out of respect.

*** — Anne, do you want to hear a story? When the world was young, and the herds were still in their most primitive state, a lone wolf devoted himself to singing to the Goddess Moon with passion. The wolf, whose fur shone under the silver light of the moon, sang with a passion and devotion that resonated in the deepest corners of the night. His howls were an ode to the beauty and mystery of the night, an expression of love and admiration for the Goddess who illuminated the nighttime sky.

“We are now officially entering Month Four.” Dominic moved. He picked up the remote. And turned the screen off.

Fifteen years had given me the full vocabulary of his face, and the one he was wearing now was the one that meant the news was bad and already in motion and there was no version of the next sentence that wasn't going to require me to move. "She arrived at Marcus's safely," he said. I waited. "But Alpha." He crossed the room and set the tablet on the desk. The screen showing the east grid, the contact points, the patrol map, one node dark and two others repositioned in the last cycle. "Our perimeter contact in the east grid just went dark." He kept his voice even because he needed me to be functional and not reactive. "Victoria's people have been repositioning for seventy-two hours." I looked

Under the radiant glow of the full moon, Silver Moon Pack members gathered in the heart of their territory, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Moon Goddess. Alpha Jake, Luna Mara, and the rest of the werewolves stood in a circle, their eyes fixed on the heavens. As the minutes passed, a palpable sense of reverence filled the air.
