The Moon Shadow Return to the Red Moon Tribe
"Sorry, it's just a child's nonsense, please don't mind." Norton took two steps back, and his misty eyes quickly returned to calm. The warm yellow light shone on his face like mist, making his brows and eyes softer. His eyes stayed on my face and he couldn't bear to look away.Strong love spreads in my heart. Guided by Cupid's arrow, I gave up my reserve and let impulse and passion take over. I walked up to him, stood on tiptoes, and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips.A sweet smile spread between his lips, and he stroked his lips, seeming to reminisce."Dad, Mom, can you open the door for me?" Lola shouted outside the door."Okay." Norton turned the door lock.The moment the door was opened, Laura's cute little head squeezed in with a bright smile on her face."Dad! I like Zoe, and I want her to be my mother, okay?" She jumped in, hugged her father's legs, and said coquettishly."Baby, you have to ask Zoe if she is willing." Norton rubbed her head and said softly, his eyes full of lov
Last Updated : 2023-10-13The Moon Shadow Chapter 1 Drake And I
For a long time in my life, I have managed to be a better version of myself. To compensate those whom I’ve owed to. To retrieve what I’ve lost. I’m Zoe Ernest, a plain she-wolf, residing in the Red Moon pack with my mother. My mother is filled with excitement for my upcoming eighteenth birthday, as Drake and I have been in a relationship for nearly a year. Despite the widespread belief that we are a couple, many individuals hold doubts about the viability of our bond. Some disdainfully look upon me, while others reveal their jealousy. From their perspective, my mother and I, as newcomers to this pack for less than two years, seem ill-suited to ascend to Drake's elevated status. Indeed, he is the object of affection for every young woman in this pack, possessing a robust physique, a strikingly handsome visage, and a pair of deep, expressive, hazel eyes that can enthrall any lady. Beyond his striking appearance, Drake's esteemed lineage sets him apart. He is the only son of Beta Morg

I hardly slept a wink that night. Throughout the entire evening, my mind replayed all the things he had done to me in the past year, filling my heart with anger, regret, and resentment. ‘Just break up with him, and everything will be fine,’ I kept consoling myself, attempting to calm down, but with little success. The next morning, my mother's call roused me from sleep. I glanced at my phone and cursed under my breath; it was only six in the morning, and I had barely slept for an hour. There was a birthday message from Aunt Mary with a kiss emoji. I quickly replied with a kiss emoji back. Dragging myself to the bathroom with messy hair and heavy footsteps, I looked in the mirror and almost thought I had seen a ghost. My face was pale, dark circles marred my eyes, and my lips were devoid of color. Oh, my goodness, what happened to me! "Hey, girl! Stop dawdling; you have a date with Drake today!" Mother's voice echoed from upstairs. "Coming!" I shouted back at the door. After fresh

Every time I saw that malicious expression on his face, a sense of helplessness washed over me. There was nothing that could stop his fury, but I still tried my best to calm his emotions, hoping to resolve this peacefully. "No! How could you think that? Don't misunderstand me. I'm just surprised because you've always told me that we would be mates. But..." I tried my best to make my tone sound more sincere and my expression appear sadder. Hearing my explanation, he didn't speak, only staring at me intensely. His gaze was like a surgeon's scalpel, sharp enough to cut through my skin. I refused to show any weakness; if I appeared guilty, he would assume I had done something wrong. If I looked like prey, he would treat me as such. So, I stood tall, staring back at his eyes with determination. For a moment, I even believed I was that brave, though my heart was pounding in my throat. After what felt like a long time, his tense expression softened somewhat, as if he had dispelled his sus

Before I figured out what would happen, my legs were already sprinting with all their might. "Let's play hide and seek, bitch. I'll give you five seconds to run as far as you can and hide. Don't let me catch you, otherwise, ahahaha!" I could hear his demonic laughter echoing from behind. I pushed myself to run, even until my legs felt numb, and I could hardly feel their existence. I ran towards the distant training ground where the soldiers' chants faintly reached my ears. "Fight for survival! Fight for the family! Fight for freedom!" The wind howled in my ears, followed by the sound of Drake's footsteps closing in from behind. Panic surged through me, my breathing became erratic. At this moment, the training ground was still about two or three hundred meters away, while Drake was now less than twenty meters behind me, I guessed. The situation was dire, and I shouted for help with all my might, hoping the soldiers at the training ground would hear me. But my voice was drowned out by

When I woke up again, it was already 5 o'clock on Monday morning, and I had slept for a full 17 hours. The ample rest had restored my energy, and now, instead of rushing to get up, I lay in bed, contemplating my next steps. I firmly believed that where there's a will, there's a way. Firstly, there must be rumors circulating within the pack about me, making my days ahead more challenging than ever. But I didn't care; the only things that mattered were me and my mother. I still had one semester left in Greenwood High School, and after that, I would receive my graduation certificate. I planned to take the entrance exam for Herman College, and I was quite confident about getting in. Once I entered Herman College, I would move my mother to live in Herman County, a permanent and independent werewolf community under the jurisdiction of Alpha King. After working there for two years, I could apply to become a permanent resident. Then, I could sue Drake as a Herman resident. As for the expens

On Monday morning, we had literature class and math class. Susie and I went to our lockers to get our books and agreed to meet at the cafeteria during lunch. Then, we headed towards our respective classrooms. I was in the same class as Janet and Karen, while Susie and Drake were in another class. I used to dream about being in the same class as Drake, but looking back, it's actually fortunate that we aren't together. However, being stuck with Janet and Karen is just my bad luck.As I entered the classroom, I deliberately chose a seat in the far corner, hoping not to draw any attention. However, it didn't take long before Janet and Karen strolled in, making a grand entrance. Janet was tall and slender, wearing a blue plaid button-down shirt and a gray pleated skirt, with a dark red headband holding her shiny golden straight hair. Karen was smaller in stature, donning a blue body-hugging dress, which I thought didn't match well with her deep brown curls. Janet sauntered through the room

"I've always wanted to ask you, why do you tolerate your mother so much?" On our way home after school, Susie asked me.Hearing her question, I pondered for a moment. Over the years, I've been contemplating the same question: why do I tolerate my mother so much?There's a long and sorrowful story behind it, dating back five years ago, way before my mother and I moved to the Red Moon pack.Since my birth, I lived in a coastal pack where everyone excelled in swimming. Sunshine, the sea, beaches, and palm trees formed my entire memory of my hometown—a time filled with joy. Every weekend, I would take my younger brother, Jason, to the beach, teaching him freestyle, butterfly, and diving. He showed remarkable talent from a young age, and before he turned seven, he could swim as fast and skillfully as adults. He had great confidence in his swimming abilities, but my parents always cautioned me to keep a close eye on him whenever he went into the sea.At the time, I was twelve, and he was se

The Moon Shadow Chapter 35: True Feelings Revealed
His thin lips parted slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he clenched his mouth shut, swallowed hard, and his sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down. After a while, he finally managed to say something less awkward."What's the baby's name?""Noah.""It must be tough raising a child on your own.""Not really. Aunt Mary and Uncle Marcus help me take care of the child. I'm really grateful for them. And,"I was tired of beating around the bush. He had so many questions, yet he insisted on maintaining this cool demeanor, keeping his inquiries bottled up inside."Are you wondering why he isn't taking responsibility for the child?""You guessed it," he nodded.I sighed and shrugged my shoulders. Since he wanted to know, there was no need to hide it any longer."He doesn't know the child exists. I was forced back then, and when I found out I was pregnant, I escaped to the Nightwalker Tribe. I didn't want that beast to know about it. I was afraid he would harm my child, jus
The Moon Shadow Chapter 34: I've Always Been Single
"Lola, take your drawing board and go to the art room to play by yourself. I need to have a talk with Miss Zoe," Eliza said, pulling a small drawing board from the toy box and handing it to Lola. "Fine," Lola reluctantly left my side, casting a parting look and saying goodbye before walking into a large circular room. "Lola, are you sure about this job? Have you decided to take it?" Eliza asked me. I closed my eyes, sniffed the lingering scent of violets from Lola, and felt an unusual sense of comfort. This child and I had a connection. We liked each other from the first moment we met. "Yes, I've decided," I replied. "Well, that's great. Please wait a moment; I'll get the contract from my office," Eliza said as she got up and headed upstairs to the room on the right side. Inexplicably, this lavishly decorated house gave me a feeling of déjà vu. I tried to identify something familiar inside it, but unfortunately, I couldn't pinpoint anything. It wasn't a particular object that gav
The Moon Shadow Chapter 33: The Babies
I named the baby Noah. He's a mischievous little one who keeps us on our toes. He can sleep all day but insists on being awake and fussy at night. Aunt Mary and Uncle Marcus dote on him, taking turns to soothe him in the evenings. Typically, Aunt Mary handles the first half of the night, and Uncle Marcus takes the latter. Noah is like a mini-me, inheriting my brown skin and green eyes. He's nothing like Drake, which eases my worries.Five months after Noah's birth, Susie's baby arrives too. It's a girl named Giselle. Giselle is a chubby, adorable baby with sapphire-blue eyes, fair skin, and dimples on her cheeks, a spitting image of Susie. Abel adores his daughter and proudly parades her around the tribe, showing her off to everyone he meets.When Noah was ten months old, I graduated from college and passed the entrance exam for Herman College. I entrust Noah's care to Aunt Mary and Uncle Marcus and head off to Herman for my studies.On the first day of school, I found myself rooming
The Moon Shadow Chapter 32: Delivery
About ten days later, news came that our storm-damaged house had been partially repaired. This brought immense joy to us. We woke up early, planning to catch the earliest ride back.We walked along the street towards the bus station when a silver Mercedes pulled over at the roadside. The car was filled with the scent of cedar. The window rolled down to reveal Norton's handsome face."Are you headed back to the Nightwalker Tribe? I'm going that way and can give you a lift," he said, taking off his sunglasses.Before I could decline, Susie spoke up eagerly, "That's terrific! Abel, help load our luggage."I reluctantly got into the car. It was awkward! I hadn't seen him once during our two-week stay, and now, he unexpectedly offered us a ride. I couldn't believe it.Susie and I sat in the back, with Abel in the front passenger seat. I couldn't help but sneak glances at Norton. A couple of times, our eyes met in his rearview mirror. My heart pounded as if I were a child caught doing somet
The Moon Shadow Chapter 31: Meet Drake
I stayed in this small room for three days, barely going out. Outside, the street grew busier day by day. Susie and Abel would go out for a few hours every day. They invited me several times, but I declined. Rather than being a third wheel, I preferred to immerse myself in reading books. Besides, Herman is so small; I was worried about the awkwardness of bumping into Norton.At six in the morning, car horns from outside woke me from my sleep. I closed my eyes, trying to fall back asleep, but it was futile. I turned on the table lamp and picked up Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own," leaning against the headboard to read. After an hour or so, I put the book down, got out of bed, and changed into a loose, purple cotton maxi skirt. I headed to the bathroom to freshen up but found the toothpaste was empty. I made do with a quick rinse and then left the room to go to the dining area for breakfast.At this time, only a few people were in the restaurant. I picked up a tray at the counter
The Moon Shadow Chapter 30: Arrival in Herman
The next morning, after a week of fierce wind and rain, the weather finally cleared up. As the radiant sun rose from the east, all the werewolves cheered and howled at it together, filled with ecstatic joy even more intense than when facing a full moon. The damn hurricane had passed, and the damn lockdown was finally coming to an end.The Packhouse was located at the highest point in the center of the pack. The surrounding floodwaters receded quickly. In just one night, the water that had been thigh-deep now barely reached the ankles. Some of the werewolves living around the Packhouse began to pack their belongings, preparing to return home. Their houses were relatively intact, so naturally, they weren't on the relocation list. Most of us who lived farther from the center, including myself, continued to stay here, waiting for the floodwaters to subside and the roads to recover, so that we could be transported to Herman.Since our brief conversation last night, Norton had completely di
The Moon Shadow Chapter 29 Norton Tate Is Here
On the third day since the hurricane's arrival, a sense of weariness was gradually creeping in among everyone. Complaints were intermittently heard within the crowd, expressing their frustration with the seemingly idle days. By the fourth day, a small group of people began to experience friction, with some engaging in verbal spats and even minor physical conflicts. It had become a common occurrence. The fifth day was testing everyone's patience, food supplies were running low, and the powerful wind outside persisted, enveloping each person in an air of despair. Alpha Alis attempted to boost morale through a speech, but the impact was far from impressive. Despite his spirited demeanor, his face appeared more gaunt, his complexion slightly gray from hunger. This image was hardly reassuring to those who were struggling to find sustenance. By the sixth day, many had nearly exhausted their food, hungry cries of children echoing throughout the Packhouse. Even the usually optimistic group co
The Moon Shadow Chapter 28: Punishment
"Thank the Moon Goddess, you finally came," Aunt Mary anxiously awaited us at the back door. Her tone carried both concern and reproach. Seeing me all drenched, her eyes filled with compassion, "You're such a foolish child," she gently patted my hand and then she shot Hilda a death stare. Aunt Mary is always overprotective of me, and I really love her for that.Afterward, she exchanged words with the guards stationed at the back door and led us through the back door into the packhouse, not wanting to attract the attention of others. Climbing the spiral staircase to the second floor, we headed to Beta William's office first where both Beta and Uncle Marcus were waiting for us. As I walked in, I saw Beta William sitting on a black leather office chair, his expression serious. Uncle Marcus occupied the sofa, displaying an air of genuine worry."Hilda! Please tell me, what's wrong with your head? What exactly happened?" Beta William saw his sister with a bandaged head and quickly approach
