The snow storm had passed,

Aria stirred awake on the bed, her eyes fluttered opened and she groaned slightly.

Light poured in fragmented bursts through the snow-covered windows. Aria turned her head over to the hearth and frowned. Sometime during the night, the embers had burned out. The room wasn’t cold though. Aria’s heart still felt warm, something deep within her was lighting up, and she knew that it wasn’t going to die out.

She moved again and tried to shift back but stopped. She felt something warm touching her back. It took her a moment before she realized that it was Lucien.

She turned around slowly, careful not to wake him in case he was still asleep. He was.

His breath was even, her cheeks reddened when she realized that his hand rested softly on hers. Aria stopped breathing for a second, she didn’t move, just watched Lucien sleep peacefully. She had gotten used to the sharp edges on his face and the frown that always seemed to be permanently in place there.

Now, it was all d

  • THE BROKEN LUNA: MATED TO THE CRIPPLED ALPHA   A STARTLED ROSE

    Aria blinked, confused by the sudden change in the expression of her friend.She turned around, spotted Lucien and understanding dawned on her. She smiled at him, and he walked away till he was out of sight.Aria knew how scary Lucien was to most werewolves. To a human, he might as well have been the devil.“Did you just flinch?” She softly asked, half-jokingly,Rose's lips parted, as she quickly shook her head, “No, well, yes. I just didn’t expect him to be there.”“Right.” Aria chuckled. She could still see Rose sneaking glances behind her with a nervous gaze.Rose nodded as she blinked and turned her attention back to Aria. “Anyway, are you really okay?” she asked, her tone solemn, “I heard from some of the traders that you were bloodied and completely scarred when you walked through the market trail.”Aria smiled, as stretched out her hand. “I’m fine Rose,” she answered, a warm fuzzy feeling rose within her as she realized that there was someone else who actually cared for her. “I

  • THE BROKEN LUNA: MATED TO THE CRIPPLED ALPHA   A SURPRISE VISIT

    The snowstorm stopped falling a couple of days ago.Sunlight flickered, unobstructed through the window to the cottage room. It was the middle of the day, but the hearth was still it.Aria laid on the bed with a smile on her face. She raised her quilt further, enjoying the warmth it provided.It had been about a week since the attack on her by Ronan. From that day, Lucien had nursed her back to full health.She had healed faster than she ever thought she could. Her healing was still not as much as a full blood werewolf, but Aria could tell that it had grown much better.That wasn’t the only other thing that had changed since that day. For two days after the attack, Aria could barely walk and had to be fed directly by Lucien.It wasn’t that her body was injured, it was her mind. Her thoughts felt heavy, trying to think felt like she had just ran a marathon. It was slow and sluggish.Eventually, her mind cleared and that was when she noticed the changes.It was her senses. If her healin

  • THE BROKEN LUNA: MATED TO THE CRIPPLED ALPHA   WHEN FOOLS BLEED

    Lyra was pissed.She paced around her brother’s recovery room, her fists clenched tightly beside her, her eyes narrowed as she scrunched her nose.The smell of burnt flesh filled the air.Lyra’s gaze was focused entirely on one thing and one thing only.Her brother's limp, broken body.Ronan lay crumbled in a cot, unconscious with slowly healing bones.That was the problem. That was why she was pacing around.He should have woken up by now.Ronan might not have been an alpha, but he was an offspring of one. All of his bones should have healed hours ago.They were all healing, but they were healing almost as slowly as a human would.Whatever had hurt her brother had made sure that he was going to stay hurt.She knew why he got hurt, she just didn’t know by whom, or how?All she had right now was a basic idea of what had happened.The tale of Aria walking bloodied and injured through the snow had already spread through the clawhold.Lyra had spoken to some servants who were present at t

  • THE BROKEN LUNA: MATED TO THE CRIPPLED ALPHA   BLOOD IN THE COURTYARD

    Lucien ran.The snow blew past his cloak and bit into his skin.He didn’t feel it. In fact, he couldn’t even feel anything else at the moment other than fear.He had lost a mate once, and he had been permanently scarred after that. Lucien was not going to allow history to repeat itself.He was going to save Aria even if it cost him his life. So he disregarded everything, the pain that wrecked his body, the shivers that ran down his spine every time he placed his weight on his shattered legs, everything was pushed down.Only the thought of Aria remained.Snow crunched loudly beneath his booth as he rushed out of the castle, his legs screamed with every step – both legs. The stride he took was a stark reminder to his body of the damage he had taken that night, the damage he had never healed from.But once again, he pushed it all down. Pain meant nothing to him now. Only love.His breath came out in rough short bursts as he rushed through the market to the loud stares of the traders, his

  • THE BROKEN LUNA: MATED TO THE CRIPPLED ALPHA   THE HIDDEN BLADE

    The air in the throne room shifted the moment Lucien finished speaking.Alder grew still, his eyes narrowed as he met his brother’s gaze.“What?” he asked, surprise etched in his tone.“You heard me, brother,” Lucien said calmly. “We need to talk about you putting your hands in places where they don’t belong.”Alder slowly rose from his throne, his visage one of anger. He moved like a predator as he took a step forward, his silver eyes gleamed with fury, and the smile on his face vanished,It was replaced with something different, something far darker.“Are you giving me orders now?” he growled, his fingers lengthening into claws with every step he took, “About a stillblood?”Lucien snarled, his lips parted as he took a step forward, matching his brother’s pace. “No, I am telling you,” he answered, “You do not give her any orders. You do not command Aria, not ever and certainly not now.”Alder chuckled, his eyes darted towards his brother’s crippled leg, “She is in my clawhold. And so

  • THE BROKEN LUNA: MATED TO THE CRIPPLED ALPHA   CONFRONTING HIS BROTHER

    Lucien tapped his cane rhythmically on the floor as he walked towards the large open gates of a castle that, just a couple of years ago, was once his.The loud sound of his cane tapping on the stone floor, echoed across the castle like warning bells.For the first time in years, the guards stationed by the gates bowed as Lucien walked through them.Just a couple of days ago, all of them had pretended not to see Lucien whenever he moved. Now that the news of his encounter with Varion had spread, he was beginning to not just be feared but also respected.He limped across the corridors of the hallways with his mind clouded and lost in thoughts. He had not walked these corridors in years, and he was glad that everything was just as he remembered.Lucien had been avoiding the castle, not because it reminded him of the power he had lost. No, he had been avoiding the castle because it reminded him of the Luna he had lost.Even now, as he walked through the corridor, he could still feel the e
