Kane Moon 소설 & 이야기

The bar is almost empty. Just low amber lights, a jazz trio packing up, and Alexander Kane at the far corner table like he owns the concept of dawn itself. He’s ditched the jacket. White shirt rolled to the elbows, exposing forearms corded with ink (black lines, Cyrillic letters, one thin white scar shaped like a crescent moon). He’s nursing something dark in a heavy crystal glass and watching the door like he already knows I’m coming.

I looked at the moon in the sky as I said, "Okay, I won't. Right now, I just want to live a good life with you." Kane lowered his head and kissed my lips. Under the moonlight, his gaze was full of such tenderness that I could drown in it. "Alright. Let's live a good life together," he whispered.

he says. "Sorry." I take my seat. My hands grip the armrests to keep them steady. "Traffic." "Traffic." Dad's voice is flat. "Is that what we're calling it now?" The council members shift uncomfortably. They can all see what's happening to me, the deterioration, the loss of control. "The Wintermoon alliance is falling apart." Dad slams a folder onto the table. "Kane called this morning. He says his sister reports you can't even maintain human form during meals. That after two months of marriage, you still won't touch her."

He gulps the last of his water, crushes the empty bottle in his hand until it scrunches into a ball, then hurls the fisted plastic into the farthest depth of the forests beyond us at inhuman speed. The baritone in his voice drops a notch below. “We’ll end him.” I'm about to ask what the plan will be in detail, when my mind drifts to the date of the next full moon. Only a few days away now, the date coincides with… the night of the School's Winter Formal. Shane balls both his hands into fists, inhaling, then stares up at the reddening sky. “Dreadborn will fall on the next full moon. I'll make damn certain of it.”

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.

Cilyna gave her a look that dripped in fear as Kaynon say down beside her and took her hand in his. "Whatever it is, the kids will be safe. I will give my life to insure their's will continue." Kaynon mind linked Cilyna in an attempt to call her racing heart. "Alright, so what is this ominous prophecy?" Cilyna asked. "We are directly desended from the first chosen of the moon goddess. The only wolves to know of Kyrie and Dante. The moon goddess told them when all species joined as one again, all the gods and goddess's would return to the earth and it would be the end of existence as we know it." her mother spoke slowly after a deep breath.

"You won't win Kane, I already have this in the bag. So why don't you just stop and let me have this position." Kane let out a laugh, "the gig is up Conrad. My Luna broke the spells you and Davina had me under, you thought that you could have weakened me to defeat me in a challenge and become Alpha. I guess you forgot who Hayley truly is, she isn't just a Pure/Timber wolf. She is also the only direct decedent of the moon goddess. Nothing is impossible for her." Kane let out, taking a few steps towards Conrad. A few eyes turn towards Davina, while others continued to stare at Conrad.

“Give him time. He’ll come back to us.” But as the weeks turned into months, even Liam’s faith began to falter. One evening, after returning from yet another solitary trip into the forest, Kane stood in the courtyard of the packhouse, staring up at the night sky. The moon was full, its silver light casting an ethereal glow over the landscape. He closed his eyes, letting the cool night air wash over him. For a moment, he allowed himself to imagine that Layla was still with him, her laughter echoing in his ears, her touch a memory that refused to fade.

“Breathe, sister.” The Moon Goddess joined Hecate on the bed. Hecate grabbed her hand. “Where is Kane?” She sounded small and terrified. Selene leaned over her. “Hunting. It is his first shift, and he is starving.” Hecate shook her head. “I can’t do this alone.” Black-tinged tears trailed down her face. “And you won’t.” Selene leaned over and kissed her face. “You helped me bring my child into this world. I will do the same.” I moved over to her side.
