At 24, Seraphina is the heir to a powerful pack, bound by tradition and prophecy. But as she trains for her ascension, she is haunted by visions that hint at a fate more complex and perilous than she ever imagined. When Draven Thorn, the ruthless Alpha of the rival Blackwood pack, launches a series of attacks designed to destabilize Silverclaw, Seraphina finds herself caught in a web of betrayal and danger. Draven's ambitions threaten not only her pack but the delicate balance of power in the region. As tensions escalate, Seraphina uncovers disturbing truths about her lineage and the prophecy that governs her life. With her closest allies by her side and her own powers awakening, Seraphina must navigate a treacherous path filled with hidden enemies, ancient curses, and shocking revelations. As she delves deeper into the prophecy, she discovers that the true threat may lie not in the rival pack but in a dark force lurking in the shadows. In The Luna’s Ascension alliances are tested, secrets are unveiled, and the fate of Silverclaw hangs in the balance. Will Seraphina embrace her destiny and rise to the challenge, or will the weight of the prophecy and the schemes of her enemies lead to the pack’s downfall?
Lihat lebih banyakThe 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 a figure of reverence, her long silver hair a testament to the years she had witnessed, and the secrets she guarded. I looked up at her, meeting her gaze—those sharp, knowing eyes that seemed to pierce through the layers of my soul.
“It’s time,” she said, her words cutting through the tension. “You must understand the prophecy, child. It is not just a story passed down through the ages. It is your destiny.”
I nodded, though my throat felt tight, the words I wanted to say caught somewhere deep within. Morwenna’s gaze softened, but only slightly. “The prophecy speaks of a Luna who will rise to either save or doom our kind. You are that Luna, Seraphina. The weight of our world rests on your shoulders.”
Her words were like lead, sinking into my chest. I had known about the prophecy all my life and had been told I was special, chosen. But now, standing here under the gaze of the full moon, it felt more like a curse than an honor.
The fire crackled louder, and I felt the warmth of it on my skin. I was aware of my younger sister, Ava, standing just behind me, her presence a comforting shadow. Ava was everything I wasn’t—calm, composed, always sure of herself. Yet tonight, even she seemed uneasy. I glanced back at her, and she gave me a small, worried smile. “Something feels wrong,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the crackling fire.
I wanted to tell her she was imagining things, that everything would be fine, but the words died in my throat. I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was right. There was something dark on the horizon, something coming for us.
As if in response to my thoughts, the vision returned with a sudden, violent intensity. My surroundings blurred, the fire, the trees, the faces of my pack fading into darkness. All that remained was the moon, glowing with a harsh, unnatural light. And then the shadows began to creep in, twisting and curling around the edges of my vision. A figure emerged from the darkness, cloaked in shadows, their features obscured. I couldn’t see their face, but I could feel their eyes on me, boring into me with a malevolent intent.
“You are not ready,” the figure hissed, the voice echoing in my mind, a cruel whisper that sent shivers down my spine. “Betrayal is closer than you think. Beware, Seraphina. Beware…”
The vision shattered, and I was thrust back into the present, gasping for breath as if I had been drowning. I felt Ava’s hand on my arm, steadying me. “Seraphina, what’s wrong? What did you see?”
I wanted to tell her, to confide in her like I always did, but something held me back. The warning echoed in my mind, a sinister reminder that trust could be as dangerous as any weapon.
I turned to Morwenna, hoping she could offer some guidance, but her face was unreadable, her eyes shadowed. “The visions will come more frequently now,” she said quietly. “You must prepare yourself, child. The time is drawing near.”
I swallowed hard, nodding even as fear coiled in my gut. I was Seraphina Nightshade, heir to the Silverclaw pack, and destined to be the next Luna. But as I looked up at the full moon, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my destiny was far darker than anyone could have imagined.
The fire flared suddenly, casting wild, dancing shadows across the clearing. In the flickering light, I caught a glimpse of something—or someone—moving just beyond the circle of trees. My heart skipped a beat as the shadowy figures from my vision seemed to materialize in the real world, their form barely visible through the thickening mist. A warning whispered through my mind, the figure’s words lingering like a curse.
I stepped forward, compelled to follow, but before I could move, the figure vanished into the darkness, leaving only the echo of their warning and a chill that seeped deep into my bones.
The prophecy’s shadow had come to life, and with it, the first stirrings of the betrayal that would threaten to tear my world apart.
The wind had picked up, swirling around us as if whispering secrets I wasn’t yet ready to hear. The revelation from the encrypted messages left us all on edge. It felt as though every move we’d made had been somehow foreseen by the Keepers of the Balance, our actions almost preordained. After our ominous discovery, Elena, Mason, and I gathered to pour over every piece of information we had, hoping to glean something we might’ve overlooked. But the more we dug, the clearer it became that we were missing something vital. A hidden piece of history, a key that could turn this game of power in our favor.That was when Elena spoke the word, almost too softly, as if invoking it was enough to summon it to life. "The Obsidian Tear."A silence fell over us. The Obsidian Tear—a relic from the ancient world, rumored to be an artifact of profound power and dark magic. Legends held that it was forged in the heart of a dying star and that only those of pure strength and courage could wield its infl
The eerie quiet that lingered after the attack weighed heavily on us, pressing down like a dense fog. Despite the urgency of the looming threat from the Keepers of the Balance, the wounds of past betrayals festered among us, deepening cracks in our unity. Trust was no longer a given; it was fragile and fractured, and each interaction seemed strained under its weight.It had only been hours since I’d disclosed the truth about Elder Rowan and the secret society hidden in Silverclaw’s shadows, yet that revelation had spread like wildfire among my allies. I watched the way people looked at one another, the suspicion lurking beneath their eyes. It was like a toxin leaching into our midst, silent and unrelenting.I called for a meeting at dawn, gathering my core allies. As we circled around, I could see the weight of our struggles etched on every face—Ethan’s tense posture, Mason’s sidelong glances, and even Elena’s furrowed brow. They all shared the same apprehension, the same nagging ques
The Guardian’s warning echoed in my mind long after they’d disappeared into the shadows of the forest. Someone close to me—a connection I trusted—was linked to the darkness itself. The thought sent a chill through me, unraveling every certainty I’d clung to. I’d spent the night wrestling with these doubts, the weight of betrayal heavy on my chest, when a distant sound pulled me from my restless thoughts.Low, rhythmic chanting drifted through the air, growing louder with each passing moment. It was too structured, too deliberate to belong to the forest. I crept through the trees, each step taking me closer to the source of the sound. A faint glow pierced the darkness, and as I approached, I saw a group of hooded figures gathered in a clearing, their faces hidden beneath dark cloaks, their voices chanting in unison.A large stone altar stood at the center of the group, marked with symbols I’d never seen before. The air around it crackled with an energy that felt ancient, powerful, and
I could still feel the weight of the message carved into the oak, haunting me as I made my way through the darkened forest. The cycle is broken, but the darkness remains. The words echoed in my mind, a chilling reminder that whatever we had faced before was merely the beginning. My instincts told me that someone—or something—was watching. The dense undergrowth tugged at my boots as I pushed deeper into the woods, following the trail left by our missing scouts. Their scents were faint, mixed with something else—something that smelled like ancient soil and damp stone, carrying an unsettling charge of power that pricked at my skin.Just when I thought I’d lost the trail completely, I heard it. A faint whispering, like the low hum of an ancient song carried on the wind. I stilled, my senses sharpening, every nerve on edge as I tracked the sound to its source.A figure emerged from the shadows, almost blending into the gnarled roots of an ancient tree. At first glance, they looked like pa
I took a deep breath, letting the chill of the night air wash over me as I watched the stars stretch across the dark sky. The words I’d heard by the river lingered, stirring something restless within me, but I told myself it was only the remnants of the long journey we’d just endured. After all, we’d won. The prophecy was fulfilled, and Silverclaw was free to rebuild without the shadow of destiny looming over us. But that small voice in the back of my mind wouldn’t be silenced, whispering that there was still more to come.Strange things had begun happening in Silverclaw. Small things, barely noticeable—until you paid attention. The forest had grown eerily quiet at night, with fewer animals stirring. Flickers of movement had started appearing at the edges of town, shadows darting between trees but never stepping into the light. People dismissed it as paranoia after so much recent turmoil, but I felt a growing unease. A sixth sense, a warning that something dark was lying just beyond o
The dust had finally settled, but the silence felt strange. After so much bloodshed and sacrifice, Silverclaw was peaceful again, yet the air hummed with a sense of change—a shift toward something I couldn’t yet define.I stood at the heart of our town, the place where Elias had given his life, sealing the rift with a sacrifice that would never be forgotten. He’d saved us all, ensuring that Silverclaw had a chance to rebuild, to thrive. But his absence weighed on my heart, a reminder that even victory came with a price.Around me, the remnants of our alliance gathered faces weary but filled with relief and quiet pride. Our journey had transformed each of us, revealing strengths and vulnerabilities none of us had known.My gaze drifted to my mother, Lydia, who stood a little apart from the rest, her face shadowed with her own grief. She’d nearly lost herself to the prophecy, too; it had bound our lives, twisted and tangled in ways that none of us could have predicted. And yet here we s
