Upper Moons Novels & Stories

Kai added, "but that's not it." He flipped a page in his notebook to show some scribbles that were impossible to read, with some circles on the top of the page. "They were all born on the night of full moon." That caught my attention. "That's not it, they were all murdered on the night of the full moon as well," Kai circled the circle once again in his notebook, which I assumed was the moon. "But yesterday was the full moon," I stated, thinking about hearing any recent news, "there was no murder yesterday."

I lay there for what felt like a significant portion of the night and watched the glow of my orb on the ceiling and thought about the sovereign's face and the warmth in my chest and the twelve hundred questions I had about the citadel that nobody had answered yet. Eventually, I got up. The corridor at night was something else. All twelve moons were up, I had not known, until tonight, that this was possible, that a sky could hold that many and still look like a sky rather than a collision, visible through the floor-to-ceiling crystal panels that ran the length of the outer wall. Some of them were near enough to show surface detail, enormous and luminous, hanging in the dark above the capital

“My father isn’t here. He never was. They killed him to try and find me. I am some Blood Moon Alpha. I didn’t want this…I never wanted this. I just wanted the truth, and now that I have it, I wish I hadn’t. I can’t save myself, but maybe I can save you all. If they can’t do their ritual, werewolves live. Find their altar and destroy it, or make it so I don’t die until after the next Blood Moon. You can do it yourself for all I care. I have tried to escape, but these chains aren’t chains. I can’t explain it, and I can’t break them. I can’t shift. My wolf tries to awaken, but she just doesn’t. Save the wolves, Frank.” “Sugar, now you listen. The Blood Moon is tonight. Stall and cause as much c

"Yes. I was Alpha Felix Moons Beta before your father killed them, and we surrendered to his pack and loyalty." "Felix Moon was an Alpha!?" "Yes. Alpha Felix Moon was one of the best Alpha's there was. His mate, Luna Sasha Moon, was from your father's pack. They had a daughter. Not sure what ever happened to her. There have been a lot of stories and rumors about her whereabouts." "Why did my father kill them? Is that why we have such a large pack?"

"Stop!" Tomorrow is the day that Luna will be offered to the Moon Goddess, Mayari. Her ancestors came from a long line of servers for the temple of the Goddess, and seventeen years ago, Luna was born on the day of the Lunar Eclipse. For them, it means Luna is the fateful one, the one to save the world by meeting the son of the Sun. Which, by the way, they have no idea who.

The walls appeared to be made of moonlight itself, casting a gentle, silvery radiance throughout the chambers. The main hall was vast and open, with a high, domed ceiling that depicted a stunning celestial mural. The mural depicted constellations, planets, and galaxies, all rendered with exquisite detail and a celestial beauty that seemed to come to life. In the center of the main hall stood an ornate lunar altar, adorned with offerings of moonflowers and incense. At the altar, a figure shrouded in a flowing gown of silvery light knelt in silent prayer. It was the Moon Goddess herself, a serene and radiant presence that seemed to embody the tranquil beauty of the night sky.

Both were staring at me, neither one moving. The light in the clearing changed as both the sun and the moon moved high in the sky, the light of the moon on the smokey grey wolf, making his silver fur shine. The sun bright on the sunrise wolf, his fur golden and beautiful in the sunlight. Both were stark contrasts, mirror images of each other.
