Possession (Temple of Luna, Story 1)

The Temple of Luna stories are a series of novellas set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans and werewolves wage endless war, and werewolf warriors broken on the battlefield must be healed by women strong enough to tame them.

Originally written in 2009 and 2010, these short novellas were our second attempt at playing with a twist on the old (often problematic) "sexual healing" trope. The first attempt (literally titled Sexual Healing because an editor encouraged it, which was probably a terrible title for a book about psychics in space) has also been consigned to the archive. If you do manage to get your hands on it, you can see the evolution of our attempts to poke at it. It lays the groundwork for several dynamics we explore later on, however!

Fair warning: we were increasingly on the outs with our publisher of these stories as the series progressed. The final novella ends quite abruptly, as did our relationship with said epublisher. That is another reason these stories ended up in the archive.

(The titles also originally were SAVAGE [CURRENT TITLE], and that is a trope--and a word--we've decided is definitely best left behind. Growth is a glorious thing.)

The Savage Temple's priestesses offer him relief in the meantime, though there's one he's vowed never to touch.
