Nocturne Novels

My heart pounded with excitement and nerves as I walked across the campus of Starlight Academy with my suitcases in my hands. This had been my dream for as long as I could remember—to be among the best shifters. The academy was very hard to get into but somehow I had managed to do it. Today would be the start of a new chapter in my life, and absolutely nothing could ruin it. "Move it, four eyes!" Almost nothing. I released a yelp as someone shove me down to the ground, and I fell down with my suitcases. My glasses slipped from my face and I panicked. “No, no!” I whispered, closing my eyes as I desperately looked for them. They needed to remain on my eyes at all times. I’d had them since I was eight years old, and all I knew was that it would be a cold and lonely night if I didn’t have them on at all times. The nightmares, the visions… “Yes!” I breathed, my fingers brushing against the familiar frame. Relieved, I quickly put them back on. I caught a glimpse of the back of the guy who had pushed me over as he walked with his group of friends. “Asshole!” my wolf, Lumia and I muttered at the same time. One of the guys, wearing a blue hoodie, looked back with what seemed like a look of sympathy. Our eyes met, and then he made a turn, sprinting to my direction. Flustered, I watched as he grabbed my suitcases from the ground before sticking out his hand to help me. “Are you okay?” “Yes, thanks,” I accepted as I got up, now standing face to face with him. My lips instantly curled at the handsome blonde in front of me, his eyes as brown as honey and his hair slightly lighter than mine. "I'm sorry for the prince," he said. "He didn’t mean it, he’s a bit cranky today." I frowned. "The prince?" The guy eyed me strangely. "The Ly…never mind. First day?” “Yes.” “Do you need help with your suitcases?" "Yes, sure.” He grabbed my two suitcases and we began to walk, my short legs struggling to keep up as I was almost half his size. "Were you on your way to pick up your keys?" “Yes.” “Can you only say, yes?” “Ye…I mean—no,” I shook my head, a bit embarrassed. He chuckled. "I’m Nate, member of the student council.” "Violet," I responded. Nate glanced at me, and then his eyes studied me. His look was so intense I couldn’t help but blush. "So let me guess,” he spoke. “Seventeen, small and humble pack, Alpha’s daughter, healer’s acquaintance?" I looked at him, shocked, and let out a surprised laugh. "You were almost right—eighteen." And then there was this other thing. The Alpha was my uncle who had raised me, but it wasn’t something I ever felt like discussing. When I was eight, my parents had passed away in an attack, and my uncle had been taking care of me ever since. He was the Alpha of the Bloodrose pack, a small pack from the east. "Studying to be the healer’s acquaintance? Your parents must be proud of you," Nate said. "Yes, and they..." I replied, the words trailing off. Alpha Fergus had tried to treat me like a daughter, but the man was just too awkward to raise one. He had never been around much, and our Luna, Sonya had tried her best, but we just didn’t have that mother-daughter click. Adding salt to the wound was Dylan, my cousin, who I grew up with. I called him my brother, everyone did. He had hated me all my life, never giving me a reason, and we had never gotten along. He was a sophomore at Starlight Academy and had made it very clear that we were not family within these walls and to stay away from him. His exact words had been, ‘Do not embarrass me, freak.’ “They’re proud,” I sighed. As I followed Nate, I noticed a lot of girls fighting for his attention. Once in a while he would acknowledge one of them, and was met with squeals. With a face like that, it wasn’t hard to guess that he was popular. Above all, he seemed to have a good heart as well. He caught me staring, and I lowered my gaze to the ground with a giggle. "Here you are," Nate said. I looked up and realized we had already arrived at the grand hall. “Come on,” he guided me inside, and it was just as incredible as I remembered from the orientation—a large, open space with high ceilings and luxe appearance. It was quite busy, the area filled with students and suitcases. “Wow,” I gasped, looking around in awe. Nate pointed. "That’s the front desk. You can go there for information and get your keys,” then he stuck out his hand. "It was nice to meet you. Welcome, and I hope you’ll have a good year—Violet." I looked at his hand for a moment before accepting it. "Thank you.” He winked at me, and I felt a flutter in my chest. I kept holding his hand for a second longer than necessary and when he stared at our intertwined hands with a soft smile, I released a cough and stepped back. "Thank you," I repeated, not knowing what else to say. “And thank you for coming back to help me.” “No problem,” Nate spoke. “Just doing my job.” Right, cause he was a member of the student council. “Nate—let’s go!” A loud voice called out. I looked over Nate’s shoulder to see where the voice was coming from. It was a guy leaning against one of the pillars, surrounded by friends, his back turned to us. It was the same guy who had called me four-eyes. I recognized his voice immediately. Nate had referred to him as a prince, and I wondered if it was because he was actual royalty or because of his entitled behavior. Yet, Nate didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately walked off to his friend. "Next!" the woman behind the information desk shouted, snapping me back to reality. An unimpressed look was plastered on her face. “Oh, yes—that would be me!” I said, sounding awkward even to myself as I struggled to push my suitcases to the desk. “Name, class, and major,” she demanded, her tone flat. "Violet Hastings, freshman from the healer department?” The woman hummed and looked through a stack of papers or files. Meanwhile my thoughts went to my three new roommates, hoping they’d at least be more bearable than that dude who called me four-eyes. "I-I have to say, I’m very honored to be one of the chosen 200 to learn from the best healers and my Mom was actually an alumna so I’m really excited to—" The woman cut me off, throwing a set of keys at me, and I caught them just in time. "Lunar hall, second building on your left, second floor, room 102—Next!" “Okay?” I blinked, shocked by her rudeness. Before I could react, someone shoved me aside, and I almost stumbled but could luckily regain my balance just in time. Following the rude woman’s directions to the dorm building was thankfully not too much of a hassle. I managed to get to the second floor with a lot of struggle, completely out of breath and probably sweaty—but I was there and that was all that mattered. The hallway was filled with students, chatting, moving in their belongings and so on. Overwhelmed by the noise and the people, I looked around, not knowing where to start. "What room are you in?" a voice asked from behind. As I turned my head, a woman gasped loudly in my face. “Adelaide?” she widened her striking green eyes. I looked at the woman, trying to figure out whether I knew her, but I couldn’t recognize her. “W-Who?” I stuttered. The woman had light grey hair pulled back into a bun, glasses on her nose, and striking green eyes. She stared at me with an intense, almost hopeful expression while I eyed her back strangely, thinking she must have mistaken me for someone else. "I'm so sorry," she apologized, "you just look like someone I once knew." I smiled warmly. "It's okay." "My name is Esther, and I’m the RD of this department. And you are..." she began, her eyes moving to the name on my key tag. "Violet Hastings from room 102—the room just down the hall," she said. "Thank you," I sighed, grateful for the help. Shooting her one last smile, I walked further with my suitcases to go to my room. With each step I took, I grew more anxious about meeting my roommates. What would they be like? Would I like them? Would they like me? Even with the Bloodrose pack, I realized I’d never really had friends. Sure, there were people I was closer to than others, but friends? I reached the door to room 102, and my heart pounded in my chest. Taking a deep breath, I turned the key in the lock and then I pushed the door open. In the center of the room stood two girls who immediately stopped talking and looked at me. One of the girls had dyed light pink hair, the other dark curls. Their clothes were stylish and expensive-looking, making me feel insecure and out of place. They probably came from high-status families, bigger packs, unlike me. "Am I interrupting?" I asked, my voice hesitant. The pink-haired girl rushed toward me. "No," she spoke in a hurry. "I’m Amy, that’s Trinity—and are you her? Kylan’s ex?" I frowned in confusion. "Who?" And who was Kylan? "Our roommate, Chrystal? The Lycan Prince’s ex?" Amy explained. “I heard she has to redo her freshman year and is our roommate—are you her?”

Chapter 1 The New Wolf In Town: Adeline Horns blared profusely while fireworks shot off into the night sky, it’s official. We have a new Alpha. I looked over into Bailey’s widened eyes, watching the shock and horror settle over my friend’s face. “You know what this means Adeline? Alpha Jaxon managed to kill Alpha Max. Alpha Jaxon is taking over the Silver Moon Pack. A monster replaced by a bigger, more brutal monster” Bailey shrieked. Just the thought of his name shot shivers down my spine. It seemed that a surprise attack had happened late into the night. Word had gotten to Alpha Max that Alpha Jaxon was hungry for his pack next. Alpha Max ensured the pack’s borders were secured, tripling the amount of warriors. How easily he managed to overtake the pack left much of our pack stunned. While I had known Alpha Max’s methods may have been considered unorthodox, I was sure that all Alphas were merciless to some degree. Truth be told, the stories and legends told about Alpha Jaxon were enough to give any wolf nightmares for a week. He was known as the most dangerous and ruthless Alpha since the original Alpha himself. He ripped out throats for leisure. He was selfish and spared no one in his path that crossed him, taking over weaker packs to gain himself land, wolves and power. “Maybe, but he’s never going to be my true alpha, he leads in fear and kills to ensure his title as Alpha. That’s not an Alpha in my eyes”, I proudly exclaimed to Bailey. She rolled her big brown eyes at me, “Addie, you and I both know that no one in the Silver Moon Pack is going to have a choice but to bare their necks to him or face having their throats ripped out”. Baring a wolf’s neck was a move done to give a wolf’s complete submission to another wolf. We would all be expected to bare our throats once the coronation of Alpha began. Footsteps echoed down the hall until my sister, Leah, walked into the kitchen, pulling a seat right beside us at the kitchen counter. She tousled her dark, wavy curls away from her face and sighed, “I can’t believe that Alpha Jaxon was able to take over the pack in a few, short hours. I know he’s a beast but we have one of the biggest packs in the East. It’s probably why he’s been cursed by the Moon Goddess herself”. Bailey furrowed her eyebrows and claimed sarcastically, “Oh, that’s just great. Our new Alpha is also cursed. Write that down amongst his great qualities. GREAT!” Leah let out a slight chuckle and spoke softly, “you guys really haven’t heard? Alpha Jaxon hasn’t been able to find his one true mate because the Moon Goddess doesn’t believe that he deserves one for all the cruelty and bloodshed he’s caused since becoming Alpha. That’s why he has decided to take a compatible mate instead, her name is Beverly and she’s so fierce that she could make any wolf shutter in fear. I don’t doubt that she’s as cold as he is which is what makes her so compatible. The mating ceremony is expected to commence after the coronation for Alpha of Silver Moon Pack”. I cocked my head at her, caught my breath and simple words were fighting to escape my gasp. “Leah, the Moon Goddess would never deprive any wolf of their mate. She would never deny even the most ruthless of wolves, the chance to be with their true mate. His one true mate probably rejected him; I don’t know who would willingly accept to be mated to such a beast”. The Moon Goddess blessed each of her wolves with a mate; she unconditionally loved all of her wolves. A mate was the missing piece of a wolf’s soul and nothing could keep mates apart, besides the Moon Goddess herself, which she would never do. A mate could be revealed as a wolf turned 18 years of age; however, some wolves took much longer to find their mates. Finding a wolf’s true mate was the ultimate accomplishment and made their wolves that much stronger. Although rare because of the magnetic pull, a wolf could reject its’ true mate but usually the pain of not completing their soul caused them to die eventually. My 18th birthday was soon approaching in the upcoming days and I so desperately hoped that my mate would find me, it felt so romantic. One wolf made just for me by the divine Moon Goddess herself. It was something that I’ve dreamt about since I was a little girl. Applause and chanting started to fill up the streets, “Long Live Alpha Jaxon”. Mom and Dad ran down the stairs and prompted us outside. To my surprise, every single wolf belonging to Silver Moon Pack was outside awaiting the arrival of Alpha Jaxon. He walked through the streets as if it was his own personal parade, as wolves fell to one knee in submission to the new Alpha. Dominance poured off of him, I had never felt such a powerful wolf. A red haired beauty stood proud by his side, looping her arm around his large bicep. I figured she was the compatible mate he had chosen. She was nuzzling against his ear, visibly whispering something that made him excited. His eyes began to glow the most beautiful gold colour that I have ever seen as he let out a smirk and looked into her eyes. At that moment, a pang of jealously swept over me. I couldn’t understand why, he was a notorious beast that I had no interest in being my Alpha. Someone that savage should disgust me, I told myself over and over again. She was also my soon-to-be Luna and thoughts of her mate made guilt wash over me. All I could imagine were those eyes looking into mine with that same glowing gold determination in them. He was wearing a tight white long sleeve shirt, perfectly moulding each and every muscle on his chest and arms. My heart raced as I imagined having those huge muscles hovering over me as he took me for himself. I clenched my legs together, feeling my wetness sweep down my thigh. In an instant, he dropped his gaze from his mate and his eyes pierced towards me, canines enlarged. I felt my face heat up and immediately dropped to my knee on the cold concrete under me in submission as the other wolves had done. I couldn’t even hold my eyes to look in his direction, flustered as I was feeling excitement radiate through my wolf. There were gasps from the crowd around me until I felt a large, strong hand grip my chin causing me to gaze up into those mischievous glowing gold eyes. My mouth became uncomfortably dry yearning for more of his touch. In that moment, I thought fear would puddle through me, but instead the only puddle was the one between my legs. I couldn’t hold it any longer as a let out a soft moan, quiet enough for only him to hear. He simply nodded, releasing my chin and walking back towards his mate. He grabbed one hand behind her waist and pulled her into the most passionate kiss that I had ever seen exchanged. Fuck, he was so tempting and I felt so drawn to him. The dangerous aura that surrounded him attracted my wolf as she whimpered watching our new Alpha smash his lips against his mate.

A red haired beauty stood proud by his side, looping her arm around his large bicep. I figured she was the compatible mate he had chosen. She was nuzzling against his ear, visibly whispering something that made him excited. His eyes began to glow the most beautiful gold colour that I have ever seen as he let out a smirk and looked into her eyes. At that moment, a pang of jealously swept over me. I couldn’t understand why, he was a notorious beast that I had no interest in being my Alpha. Someone that savage should disgust me, I told myself over and over again. She was also my soon-to-be Luna and thoughts of her mate made guilt wash over me. All I could imagine were those eyes looking into mine with that same glowing gold determination in them. He was wearing a tight white long sleeve shirt, perfectly moulding each and every muscle on his chest and arms. My heart raced as I imagined having those huge muscles hovering over me as he took me for himself. I clenched my legs together, feeling my wetness sweep down my thigh. In an instant, he dropped his gaze from his mate and his eyes pierced towards me, canines enlarged. I felt my face heat up and immediately dropped to my knee on the cold concrete under me in submission as the other wolves had done. I couldn’t even hold my eyes to look in his direction, flustered as I was feeling excitement radiate through my wolf. There were gasps from the crowd around me until I felt a large, strong hand grip my chin causing me to gaze up into those mischievous glowing gold eyes. My mouth became uncomfortably dry yearning for more of his touch. In that moment, I thought fear would puddle through me, but instead the only puddle was the one between my legs. I couldn’t hold it any longer as a let out a soft moan, quiet enough for only him to hear. He simply nodded, releasing my chin and walking back towards his mate. He grabbed one hand behind her waist and pulled her into the most passionate kiss that I had ever seen exchanged. Fuck, he was so tempting and I felt so drawn to him. The dangerous aura that surrounded him attracted my wolf as she whimpered watching our new Alpha smash his lips against his mate.

Chapter 1 The New Wolf In Town: Adeline Horns blared profusely while fireworks shot off into the night sky, it’s official. We have a new Alpha. I looked over into Bailey’s widened eyes, watching the shock and horror settle over my friend’s face. “You know what this means Adeline? Alpha Jaxon managed to kill Alpha Max. Alpha Jaxon is taking over the Silver Moon Pack. A monster replaced by a bigger, more brutal monster” Bailey shrieked. Just the thought of his name shot shivers down my spine. It seemed that a surprise attack had happened late into the night. Word had gotten to Alpha Max that Alpha Jaxon was hungry for his pack next. Alpha Max ensured the pack’s borders were secured, tripling the amount of warriors. How easily he managed to overtake the pack left much of our pack stunned. While I had known Alpha Max’s methods may have been considered unorthodox, I was sure that all Alphas were merciless to some degree. Truth be told, the stories and legends told about Alpha Jaxon were enough to give any wolf nightmares for a week. He was known as the most dangerous and ruthless Alpha since the original Alpha himself. He ripped out throats for leisure. He was selfish and spared no one in his path that crossed him, taking over weaker packs to gain himself land, wolves and power. “Maybe, but he’s never going to be my true alpha, he leads in fear and kills to ensure his title as Alpha. That’s not an Alpha in my eyes”, I proudly exclaimed to Bailey. She rolled her big brown eyes at me, “Addie, you and I both know that no one in the Silver Moon Pack is going to have a choice but to bare their necks to him or face having their throats ripped out”. Baring a wolf’s neck was a move done to give a wolf’s complete submission to another wolf. We would all be expected to bare our throats once the coronation of Alpha began. Footsteps echoed down the hall until my sister, Leah, walked into the kitchen, pulling a seat right beside us at the kitchen counter. She tousled her dark, wavy curls away from her face and sighed, “I can’t believe that Alpha Jaxon was able to take over the pack in a few, short hours. I know he’s a beast but we have one of the biggest packs in the East. It’s probably why he’s been cursed by the Moon Goddess herself”. Bailey furrowed her eyebrows and claimed sarcastically, “Oh, that’s just great. Our new Alpha is also cursed. Write that down amongst his great qualities. GREAT!” Leah let out a slight chuckle and spoke softly, “you guys really haven’t heard? Alpha Jaxon hasn’t been able to find his one true mate because the Moon Goddess doesn’t believe that he deserves one for all the cruelty and bloodshed he’s caused since becoming Alpha. That’s why he has decided to take a compatible mate instead, her name is Beverly and she’s so fierce that she could make any wolf shutter in fear. I don’t doubt that she’s as cold as he is which is what makes her so compatible. The mating ceremony is expected to commence after the coronation for Alpha of Silver Moon Pack”. I cocked my head at her, caught my breath and simple words were fighting to escape my gasp. “Leah, the Moon Goddess would never deprive any wolf of their mate. She would never deny even the most ruthless of wolves, the chance to be with their true mate. His one true mate probably rejected him; I don’t know who would willingly accept to be mated to such a beast”. The Moon Goddess blessed each of her wolves with a mate; she unconditionally loved all of her wolves. A mate was the missing piece of a wolf’s soul and nothing could keep mates apart, besides the Moon Goddess herself, which she would never do. A mate could be revealed as a wolf turned 18 years of age; however, some wolves took much longer to find their mates. Finding a wolf’s true mate was the ultimate accomplishment and made their wolves that much stronger. Although rare because of the magnetic pull, a wolf could reject its’ true mate but usually the pain of not completing their soul caused them to die eventually. My 18th birthday was soon approaching in the upcoming days and I so desperately hoped that my mate would find me, it felt so romantic. One wolf made just for me by the divine Moon Goddess herself. It was something that I’ve dreamt about since I was a little girl. Applause and chanting started to fill up the streets, “Long Live Alpha Jaxon”. Mom and Dad ran down the stairs and prompted us outside. To my surprise, every single wolf belonging to Silver Moon Pack was outside awaiting the arrival of Alpha Jaxon.
