When The Moon Calls You Home Novels & Stories

Chad stayed back near the door, stepping far away enough to give me the space I needed but still within. I closed my eyes and tipped my head back. The moon hung high and full, bright and steady. Just like it had been every new moon back home. I whispered a prayer to the Moon Goddess. Not for my freedom. Not even for my escape. Just for strength. Enough Strength to survive this new phase of life I've been given. And for me to finally feel at home here. For a moment, it felt like the moon heard me. The air stilled. The cold didn’t bite as hard.

“You don’t change until the first full moon after your 17th birthday. However some of us will start to have some minor changes before. Better hearing, better eyesight, better sense of smell, craving meat more, wanting to be outdoors all the time. Things like that. The first time you turn it is very painful. You have no control over it and it will happen faster if you are directly in the moon light, but it will happen even if it is cloudy. It just takes longer.” Amaris took a moment to absorb all this. Then it dawned on her. “Tonight is the full moon!” Amaris burst out standing up. Anna came over to put her arm around Amaris’ shoulders and sat her down once more. “Now you know why I have been

“Scout's honor. I just… I need a few minutes to process everything that's happened.” It took extracting about fifty promises that I would call for them if I needed anything, but they finally left. As soon as the door clicked shut behind them, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, instinctively reaching for that meditative state I somehow knew I needed to access. The transition was instant — one second I was lying in my bed, the next I was standing in what looked like the most perfect midnight clearing I'd ever seen. A full moon hung impossibly large overhead, bathing everything in silvery light.

“Night, Chan. Call if you need anything.” The line went dead, leaving her alone once more. Channary stared at the phone, her fingers tightening around it. She knew Keaton would probably give the poor woman an earful for trying to stake a claim on him. But even the mild humor of the situation wasn’t enough to distract her from the nagging questions clawing at her mind. Her gaze drifted to the window, where the Moon hung high in the night sky, its light casting a silvery glow across her room. It had always guided her, comforted her.

" Stacy said everything that happened just now, her mother coaxes her and said ''Stacy you have plenty of time to lure max, don't worry, just enjoy tonight. You know you are beautiful enough to make anyone fall it just time is not a right baby girl." Stacy confidently said, ''Yes mom you will see one day Max will fall for me."

“three Winter Solstices ago, the family from that malpractice case cornered her there—under the blood moon. They used silver-forged blades, cut deep until her wolf couldn’t heal. When the bond broke, she screamed once, and then… she was gone before the healers could even reach her.” He paused, voice lowering. “The Elders said her spirit howled for one year before the moon claimed her. Her scent lingers because she died there.” Rowan’s brows furrowed, his jaw tightening with a pain he refused to name. “Don’t insult me,” he snapped. “She always had a flair for drama.” He pulled out his phone, the blue glow illuminating the hollows beneath his eyes.

The light in her sigil flared violently. Kaelen grabbed her wrist. “What is that?” She met his gaze, fear breaking through her composure. “The moon’s calling. The Harvest Moon—it’s early.” He looked up. Through the storm, the clouds began to thin, revealing a pale red glow seeping across the horizon. The moon, swollen and shimmering, climbed higher with impossible speed. “Too soon,” he muttered. “It wasn’t supposed to rise for another day.” A voice drifted through the air, carried on the wind. “The moon waits for no mortal vow.”

“Mother explained it all. I’m sorry that the two of you were torn apart, but you’re together now. That means something, right?” Liam smiles at my mother, who smiles shyly before looking at me. “It means everything. Tia and I have waited too many years to be together. What brought me home when it did? I don’t know; something drew me here. Then I saw Tia again, and it all fell into place. The Moon Goddess called me home to my mate.” I nod my head in understanding. The Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways, and none should question her judgement. “I take it your destined mate passed on?”

I’d be on the lookout for my loved ones as well, and I respected his wishes. My phone rings and I already know who it is. I dig my hand into my pocket and pull out my phone before walking out to pick it. As expected, mother called from the home line and I answer and place the phone to my ear. “Hello, Mama.” “Jaclyn, where are you?” she cut in sharply. “I’m at Ken’s place, mama, it’s something wrong?” “It’s the full moon tonight. I think you should come home so we can be safe.”

He continues. “They also sound a lot less terrifying.” I chortle. “Very true!” He laughs with agreement. “The Moon Ceremony is on the blood moon. They also call it the hunter’s moon. It’s also being held at the Kingdom of the Moon. So you will not have to travel far.” He continues. “Yes. Then I come and get you to go to our new home. I should be back a few days after the moon ceremony.” I say confidently. A small waver in my voice betrays my fear.
