Moonlight Becomes You
By Gini Koch writing as Jemma Chase

Excerpted from
THE DISCIPLE AND OTHER STORIES OF THE PARANORMAL
releasing from Ginger Blue Publishing on October 24, 2023

The story that says we can’t help changing when the moon is full is a lie. All werewolves can control when they change. But when the moon is full…we don’t want to.

Werewolves aren’t helpless – we’re hedonists. We like being lupine, being free. For us, it isn’t a curse, it’s a blessing.

For ones not so blessed? Well, for those designated as food or fun, it’s probably a curse. But for you

You could join us. You could learn to run free, to dance in the moonlight, to do what you want, when you want, with nothing able to stop you. Silver bullets are a lie, too. The only thing that stops a werewolf is time. We don’t live longer than humans, we just live better, faster, and freer. So it seems longer, but shorter, too.

You could join us. If you wanted to. Live by night, sleep by day, love who you want, eat who you hate. Sing and dance in the moonlight.

Come meet me by the old tree on the high hill when the moon is full. I’ll be waiting for you, to see if you will become part of the moonlight with me.

After all, everyone joins the moonlight. Sooner or later.
