All Chapters of The Luna They Buried: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The Night I DiedAurelia’s POVThey buried me beneath a sky full of stars.The cruelest part wasn’t that I almost died. It was that everyone believed I already had. And no one tried to prove themselves wrong.“The Moon Festival begins at sunset!”A lively buzz spread through the Silvercrest Pack as wolves moved quickly across the village, hanging silver lanterns from towering pine trees and leaving white flowers into every doorway. I smiled seeing the children laugh as they chased one another through the square while warriors polished their weapons for the ceremonial parade. The sound of music floated on the crisp evening breeze, hinting at the festivities to come.Tonight marked the beginning of the Blood Moon Festival. It was the most sacred night of the year.For everyone else, it was a celebration, but for me, it was the beginning of the life I’d always dreamed of.“You will become a great Luna. The pack members already loved you.” An elderly woman smiled at me while holding her g

The Silence WithinAurelia’s POVThere was a saying every pup in Silvercrest Pack grew up hearing.“The Moon Goddess never makes mistakes.”She chose the strongest Alphas to lead. She blessed the bravest warriors with unmatched strength. And when she bound two souls together, no force in the world—not distance, not death, not fate itself—could break the sacred bond between mates.At least…that was what I had always believed.*Two weeks earlier…The training grounds were empty by the time I arrived.The last rays of sunlight stretched across the worn earth, painting long shadows beneath the towering pines that surrounded Silvercrest.It had once been my favorite place—a place where laughter echoed after sparring matches and victories were celebrated with friendly teasing.Now, it only reminded me of everything I lacked.I stood quietly near the edge of the field, watching a group of younger wolves complete their first shift under the guidance of the pack’s warriors.One after another,

A Luna’s PromiseAurelia’s POVWhen I was younger, I used to believe life unfolded exactly as we imagined it would.Study hard. Be kind. Love deeply. One day, I’d stand beside the man I loved. I would wear the Luna’s crest with pride, and spend the rest of my life protecting the only home I’d ever known.It sounded so simple.Maybe that was the beauty of being young. You still believed forever was a promise instead of a privilege.In Silvercrest, the Elders had a lot of prophecies that were passed down from generations to generations, but there was one that they always carried like a warning for everyone to be vigilant and ready.I had heard the prophecy countless times before, yet somehow, the Great Hall always fell silent whenever the High Elder recited it beneath the Moon Goddess’ altar.His voice echoed through the chamber, calm and unwavering, as though the words had been carved into his soul long before they were ever written on parchment.“A wolf unheard is not a wolf unborn. T

AbandonedAurelia’s POVI woke to the taste of blood. For a moment, I didn’t know where I was. There was only darkness, the sharp ache in my ribs, and the sound of my own breathing.Exhaustion gripped my being. I felt like I had been in an endless cycle of life and death. Then I remembered.I had a wolf.I tried to feel her within me but it was just my failing heartbeat. No…Had it been all a dream?Waves of disappointment and pain assaulted me and I hurled. It was as though all the sufferings I’d endured came crashing back ten fold. But no, this couldn’t be the end of me. I had to survive. I had to fight. I had to find Cassian.My eyes flew open.“Cassian.” My voice came out as a broken whisper. When I tried to move, pain tore through my body. I bit down on my lip to keep myself from screaming.The rubble had shifted. There was a narrow opening above me now, barely wide enough for me to crawl through. Moonlight spilled through it and I stared at it for several seconds. Then…I began cr

No One CameAurelia’s POVI woke to the sound of rain. For several seconds, I didn’t move. I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, trying to understand where I was.The room was small. A wooden table stood beside a single window. A chair rested against the opposite wall. A thin blanket covered me, and beneath it, my body felt as though it had been beaten against stone.Then I remembered.Silvercrest. The fire. The strangers. Cassian.I shot upright and pain instantly exploded through my ribs. A strangled cry escaped me as I fell back against the wall.The door opened. I froze.A man stood there. He was tall with dark hair, but what really caught my attention was his eyes. They were strangely bright and…gold.He wore black trousers and a loose gray shirt, both plain but clean. His face was unfamiliar and his expression impossible to read. He stopped when he saw me awake.“You shouldn’t move.”I immediately pulled the blanket closer.“Where am I?”“Somewhere outside the eastern te
