When The Moon Calls You Home Novels & Stories

9 hours before the moon is full AVA By 3pm, most of the pack was ready to go. Oscar and Callum had the safe houses ready, and they were now helping set up patrols around the pack house. Once that was done, they were getting the hospital ready to go into lockdown. Busy, busy… I sunk down into my chair, sighing as I tried to work out how to tell Callum and Oscar what they needed to know. I thought back over what the Moon Goddess had told me. Don’t trust the spoken word… What does that even mean?! Does that just mean I’m being listened to?

The pain makes me cry out. Vaughn's grip me tight. “Don't listen to him.” The cracks in my skin spread tiny rivers of light across my arms. My chest should be aching, but it doesn’t, and that scares me most. Then Callan's smile widens as he releases magic spells. “Too late to stop it now.” He raises one pale hand. “The moon remembers her daughter.” My eyes tilt, spinning like the ground beneath is tearing apart. My knees hit the ground with a loud thud - the cracks in my skin pulse, increasing my heartbeat.

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. They were rare, sacred, and terrifying. Why would the Goddess show me that? My breathing quickened again—faster, shorter, harsher—like the air itself had turned too thick to pull in.

"I have work to do here." She and Darius confer while the pack takes up battle positions. The dreamers raise their hands and bow their heads. I feel a kind of zinging, tingling sensation all over my body. Then the light pales around us and the dreamers begin to recede. "Wait!" says Esme. "Silvia, no matter what happens you must honor the Moon Goddess at Wolf Moon--tomorrow night!" The air is already shimmering and I feel the ground changing beneath our feet. Esme's voice comes to me as if from a distance, I can no longer see her distinctly, she is blurring.

“Go away. You’re not him.” He stepped closer and dropped to one knee beside me. He stared into my frightened eyes, his thumb brushing lightly against my cheek. His voice was unusually soft. “There’s no one else here but me. “I know you’re upset about the live stream today. I swear, once Wendy has the baby, I’ll come home and spend more time with you. “Come with me to the family dinner tomorrow. Okay?” His grip on my wrist loosened slightly, like he was waiting for my answer.

I watched her relax and felt a pulse of gratefulness through our bond and all of a sudden whatever I had said was completely worth it. "Thank you, Jasp..." She whispered. Great Mother Moon Goddess her voice was like heaven to my ears. It was the finest melody that had been fine tuned to reach my heart and squeeze. I watched her giggle and noticed that she had been trifling in my mind a second ago. I smiled and began walking closer, "The things you do to me." I say, and she repeats what I said back to me, but with a sultry tone, "The things you do to me~" I stopped dead in my tracks and clenched my fists, if she didn't stop talking like that we would have problems. Big, hard, aching problems.

She spoke with reasoning and elegancy, as well as the moon sign on her forehead. "If you are truly sent by the moon goddess," He stares at her, studying her, but it was hard to read her mind because her face was blank. "Then Can you tell me why the moon goddess has forsaken us?." There is slight anger in his tune that its almost impossible to notice how furious he was inside. Myra felt deeply hurt that her people thought she had forsaken them. If only thy knew. "She didn't..." She tries explaining but is cut off by another question from Kendrick through grited teeth.
