While Emily was just as caring as Jess, she wasn’t good at reading people the way Jess was. Finally, we made it to the open clearing that had several well-trimmed low plants around it and a direct view that the moon was starting to gather. The place was large, and even though there had to be at least five hundred people here, there was still a lot of space that could contain five times more people. Standing on a high platform in the middle with my mom beside him, Mr Callaghan cleared his throat and easily brought the crowd to deathly silence. “Tonight, under the power of the full moon, my wife-to-be would become the Luna of this pack, and we would celebrate the blessings of the moon goddess!

His words replayed in my mind over and over. "The Morro Tribe believes the full moon is the source of power," he had said. "They pray to the moon when it's full. The freshest raw meat is offered to Lady Nefarious in prayer." Tonight was the full moon. I set my alarm for 3 a.m. and lay in bed. When the alarm rang, I reached out to touch the spot next to me. No one was there.

The Moon goddess said" One more thing Dennis…You must only tell Nick this on the day of the next full moon, do not worry, it won't be too late. The full moon is just in a few days. You will have to tell Nick about this then because it is the right time to do so. Lastly, whenever you feel you are stuck or need my help, you can always summon me. I'll always be here whenever you need me. Take care, Dennis. "Thank you Moon goddess, I will do whatever it takes," I said, with my voice filled with a lot of determination to fight and conquer.

She was nearly asleep; I loved how comfortable she was already. … “Are you sure you are ready for this?” Jonathan asked, eyeing me carefully. Emee cooed in his arms, and he pressed her against his chest to rock her. I flashed him my best toothy smile; I was overly excited. We were standing outside our home; I could feel the warmth of the moon soothing my fair skin and giving me strength. Even when the moon wasn’t full, I could still feel its strength. Ever since I discovered my mother was the moon goddess, the moon has been making me feel strong and energetic.

“It is warm.” I touched it. The metal was burning hot. Before I could react, a faint silver glow spread across its surface. Maya spoke inside Lily's mind as I saw her eyes glazing. “ What did she say?” I asked. “The moon is calling,” she replied. Lily's eyes widened. I looked toward the sky through the trees. The sun was still setting. The full moon wasn't supposed to rise until tomorrow. Yet a pale silver light had already begun appearing between the clouds. And somewhere far beyond the forest, a howl answered it.

the moon. Almost instantaneously, my body stops twirling. I feel a bit sobered up just a little bit. But then, I begin to hear something humming from a distance. I voice, calling for me out from the abyss. It's soft, and warm. It comforts my ears with it's gentle lullaby. It whispers, "follow the moon." I hear it, loud and clear. It whispers again "Follow the moon," and my left foot turns around on it's own. And there, bright and illuminating behold the full moon.

Jasmine’s life could be in danger. Tonight. “Hello?” “What happens during the full moon?” The shifter on the other end of the line is silent for a moment. Then he says, “Dune.” “Yeah.” “I wondered if you’d call.” “Answer my question.” “You really still think you’re in a position to interrogate me? Try again, asshole.” He ends the call.

I’m so glad, my baby boy has someone as strong as Dylan that he can lean on when the world gets too much. “So… What do we do?” I tucked a single piece of hair behind her ear tenderly, and gave her closed lip smile, nodding my head, which silently told her to take her time with her plan, because as soon as she had thought it, it would become underway. “First, The moon will be full and round in two nights, and we need to assume that the moon goddess was talking about this full moon being the date of battle..” She was right! “Second, while we try to figure out how to get Lewis back…” I cut that train of thought odd quickly.

She pointed at the shattered pieces on the ground and cried, "I know you hate me for taking Varkon away from you, but if you're upset, you can always take it out on me. This pendant was my mother's only keepsake!" Varkon was livid. He ordered me to get on my knees and scrub the floor until it shone. The shards cut into my knees, and blood ran down my legs as pain made me break out in cold sweat. Varkon watched the entire thing without a hint of concern, while I ended up fainting from the blood loss. Now, there were only three days left until the next full moon… I sighed and took his hand. "I don't have much time left. The witch said—"

Another breath trembled out of me. "No… no, no, this doesn’t make sense," I whispered to myself, pressing a palm to my chest in a weak effort to steady my heartbeat. Blood Moons weren’t normal. They didn’t just show up in dreams for decoration. They carried weight. They were omens, warnings. They were messages from the Goddess. And they NEVER rose quickly.
