All Chapters of THE LUNA’S ASCENSION: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The full moon hung heavy in the night sky, its silvery light spilling over the ancient trees that surrounded Silverclaw. The air was thick with anticipation, the kind that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I could feel it—the eyes of my pack on me, their unspoken expectations weighing down like a shackle around my soul. Tonight was supposed to be a celebration, a rite of passage, but all I could feel was a cold dread settling in my bones.I stood in the heart of the clearing, surrounded by the towering oaks that had watched over Silverclaw for centuries. The sacred fire crackled before me, its flames licking the air as if desperate to consume the moonlight. I closed my eyes, trying to focus, to calm the racing of my heart. But the visions—those damned visions—kept flickering behind my eyelids, like ghosts refusing to be laid to rest.“Seraphina.” The voice of the town elder, Morwenna, was low and steady, carrying the weight of authority and ancient knowledge. She was

The echo of that tortured scream haunted me throughout the night, its sound weaving itself into the fabric of my dreams. When I woke, the cold morning light did nothing to chase away the lingering dread. Sleep had been fleeting and fitful, and my thoughts tangled in the remnants of my vision—of the shadowed figure and the warning it carried. Yet, there was no time to dwell on it. My duties as the heir to the Silverclaw pack demanded my full attention, no matter how unsteady I felt.I met Ethan Hale in the training grounds just as the sun began to peek over the treetops, casting long, golden shadows across the clearing. He was already there, his sword flashing in the morning light as he moved through a series of precise, lethal motions. Ethan had always been the embodiment of strength and discipline, qualities that made him both a fierce warrior and a trusted friend. But today, even his presence, usually so steadying, could not quiet the turmoil in my mind.“Morning, Sera,” he greeted

We barely made it out of the forest alive. The memory of those glowing eyes haunted me, a reminder that the forest held more secrets than we could ever comprehend. But there was no time to dwell on the dangers we had narrowly escaped. The moment we returned to Silverclaw, the weight of responsibility settled back onto my shoulders like a familiar burden.As I walked through the gates of our territory, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. The air was thick with tension, an undercurrent of unease that I hadn’t noticed before. I glanced at Ethan and Sophia, but they were deep in conversation, their voices hushed. Whatever had been lurking in the forest wasn’t the only threat we faced.That night, I struggled to sleep. The events of the day replayed in my mind over and over, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make sense of it all. The altar, the stranger’s warning, the vision of the mysterious figure cloaked in shadows—it was all connected, but how? And why did I

The blood-red words carved into my mother’s tombstone haunted my every step as I made my way through the woods. The forest was eerily silent, the usual rustling of leaves and distant calls of wildlife absent, as if nature itself held its breath in anticipation of what was to come. The scent of the desecrated earth clung to me, a bitter reminder of Draven’s message and the stakes of the prophecy.I couldn’t shake the image from my mind—the earth torn apart, the grave violated. My mother’s final resting place had been defiled, and the message left behind was clear: Draven’s vendetta was more than just a power play; it was deeply personal. The desecration was an assault not just on me, but on my entire bloodline, on everything my mother had stood for.But why now? Why her grave?I arrived back at the pack’s stronghold, my thoughts still a whirlwind of questions and half-formed suspicions. Ethan met me at the entrance, his face a mask of concern. “Did you find anything?” he asked, his voi

The morning light barely filtered through the dense canopy of the ancient forest as we ventured deeper into its shadowed depths. The trees loomed tall, their gnarled branches twisting like skeletal fingers above us. Every step we took felt heavier, the air thick with the weight of history and the secrets it held. Ethan walked beside me, his eyes sharp, scanning the surroundings with the vigilance of a warrior. Sophia trailed behind, her normally confident demeanor now tinged with unease. The forest was unnervingly silent, the usual sounds of nature absent, as if the very earth was holding its breath.The path was almost nonexistent, overgrown with tangled roots and brambles that seemed determined to keep us out. I kept Lydia’s journal close, the old leather cover warm against my palm as if it were a living thing. My mother had been here before, guided by the same words I now followed. But unlike her, I wasn’t alone.“We’re close,” I whispered, my voice barely louder than the rustle o
