Winter Moon Novels & Stories

Echoes of the Blood Moon The storm outside had subsided, yet within the Moon Temple, the atmosphere felt even more oppressive—saturated with whispers, ancient energy, and a foreboding that none of them completely comprehended. Luna stood at the heart of the chamber, her breathing slow but irregular as the crimson glow of the Blood Moon pulsed faintly beneath her skin. The mark on her collarbone blazed like a living flame, and each heartbeat resonated through the stone like a distant drum.

The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a faint glow over her, illuminating the soft curves of her cheeks and the gentle rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. She looked so peaceful, her expression untroubled by the weight of the day. Arlo’s gaze softened as he watched her, an unexpected warmth swelling in his chest. She was his mate, finally here in his home, sleeping just inches away from him. He had waited so long for this moment, years of watching her grow from a distance, protecting her without her knowledge, all leading to this. And now, she was his.

Vienna's POV: The wedding ceremony was being held on a moonless night. Unlike Camden Falls, where ceremonies were bathed in the moon’s silver glow, the Northern Pack believed that on such nights, the Moon Goddess took her leave from the sky to walk among her children. It was a beautiful thought—one that filled my heart with warmth, as did my reflection in the polished bronze mirror before me.

Alora slowly relaxed her nerves and let Snow out. Snow laid there for hours, without saying a word, her eyes wide staring at the moon with passion as though it spoke to her. As the day became darker her eyes grew wider as the moon became brighter, the hours fell so fast that she didn’t know when the clock strikes twelve. Yennefer, Aiden, Marshal, Liam and Alora’s parents walked out to catch Alora gawking at the moon. “Is she okay??.” Alora’s mother asked. “That’s Snow!, her wolf side!.The full moon is like a spell to her!.If I am right this is her first Moon shower since she became a Lycan .” Yennefer explained to Winfred, Alora’s mother.

Titan came to me and rested his snout against mine while I felt Celeste’s hand smoothing over my fur, and Amethyst followed and scooted her head on my neck. I had no idea how long we’d remained in this position, but my heart was overwhelmed with happiness. My whole family was with me in our wolf forms, and the full moon was our witness. The only thing I was missing was Mom and Dad, but I knew they were watching over us from the moon. 'Can we run with them?' I asked Lucas. 'Yes, we’ll head into Moon Stone territory. We’ll stay the night there.' 'Oh! Lucas!' I couldn’t explain the happiness within me.

Nicole waved his two hands at my figure and everybody cheered for me. A brown-skinned, Asian-looking woman beamed as she stopped in front of me. “Let’s see. You are already beautiful.” When I did not smile back, her expressions changed. “I’m sorry for what happened hours earlier. Even we, in-house mortals, are heartbroken by Rowena’s doing. But since it’s the first day of the Worm Moon, the last full moon of winter, that’s why it’s a good day to celebrate your wedding with Alpha Tyler. A new life, a new you when Spring comes next month!”

My name is Elora and I reside at the Blue Mountain Packhouse. I have a slim figure, long curly blonde hair which I usually wear up in a bun so it is out of my face. My eyes are a deep blue which I love. I am not a normal girl though. You see I am a shewolf, my rank at the packhouse is an omega. I don’t know my parents because they passed away when I was just a tiny baby, so I don’t have any memories of them. The only thing I have is a necklace locket from my mother. I have never taken it off because it makes me feel close to her spirit.

We turn at the same time to see Luka stepping out from the forest, his gold-tinted curls blowing about his face, his brown eyes wide with wonder at the sight of the river. He walks past, still not seeing us. Darius and I look at each other, then scramble up to follow him. Luka stops at the top of the river embankment. He passes his hand over his eyes. When he drops his hand again, he opens his eyes and they are a milky grey colour. The glow disappears from the sky and in the darkness a full moon rises. Not just any moon. I recognize this moon. So pale, so clear, it appears as if behind a layer of ice. The first full moon of the new year. The Wolf Moon.

I wait til I hear feel the cold air drifting into the kitchen and the soft sound of a door closing before glancing into the hallway again. Through the doors glass I could see Embers back to me. The left side of her body was eliminated white from the moon and her hair looked like silver threads as they hung down her back. Creeping towards the door she shifts and a second later a see a silvery gold wolf dashing across the snow, her body low as she ran.

MICHELLE The large moon loomed ahead, swollen and filled with powerful energy in the dark sky, hanging like an eye of judgment above the abandoned coven of the witches. Its pale light streamed through shattered windows into the cold chamber, casting eerie silver pools across the cracked stone floor. The moon was the only light that dared shine in the heart of the haunted woods.
