Sasha

I stepped out of the packhouse, walking along the lit walking path to the bonfire. The person chosen as my opponent is the future beta of this pack. Bruno.

As if things couldn’t get any worse. He has been training for this position since he was six, while, on the other hand, I have only trained with Isaiah for a couple of years. He is in shorts, and his torso is covered in tattoos.

I decided to settle for a long-sleeved t-shirt with leggings, but I am barefoot. I look up to Alaric, and he smiles at me, but I shift my attention away from him.

“Luna,” Bruno bows to me, and I give him an affirmative nod. Rhett announces the rules and then nods.

‘Be careful with your hip,’ Rory says. I need to win this fucking thing just to prove I am worthy. I can’t believe we still practice this.

Bruno circles me, and I fall into stance, my hands curling into fists while I watch him. He suddenly lunged with a punch, and I ducked, moving away from him. He launches himself at me with punches and kic

  • The Imperfect Luna   Epilogue - Our Choice

    SashaTwo years later. “So?”“Cassian, it’s been less than ten seconds since I peed on this stick,” I snap, looking at the third pregnancy test. He has his arms around me, his eyes shut tight. He insists he doesn’t want to look at this but wants to hold me while I wait.I see the first line appear and follow as the specimen moves. My heart is beating just as fast as his heart. I swallow hard, holding on to his hand. He is so nervous.“So?” he asks me again, but my heart sinks when all I see is one line. I blink back my tears, sighing heavily.“Sasha...” He opens his eyes as I pick up the stick, lifting it to him. “Nothing.” He sighs, pulling me into him. “I’m so sorry, baby. I know…”“It’s fine,” I reply. He tries to comfort me every time that we’ll eventually get pregnant, but I’m scared about what Shaylen said a few weeks ago.“Let’s find a specialist. If you…”“I’m tired, Cassian,” I whisper to him, blinking back my tears. I have tried to get pregnant, but it seems it might be tr

  • The Imperfect Luna   A Love So Beautiful

    SashaWhen I was four, I had a dream that one day I would find my mate, and he would love me more than anything. At ten, I gave up that dream because I found out I had no wolf. But when Cassian walked into my life that day, I knew that this man would be the reason my heart would break, but I chose to love him anyway.I chose to give my heart to him, and well, he broke it. Touche.But when he willingly walked into a pack full of people who wanted him dead to save me, I fell in love even more. It’s fucked up, I know, but this man did something that most people would never; he saw my imperfections, and he chose to love them.“Still ogling your hot fiancé?” Daniela drops into the chair beside me as I shrug. “Can’t resist a man with glasses,” I retort, and she chuckles, handing me a glass of juice. I take it without looking at her, my eyes still on my mate. He flips the pen so many times, his eyes on the paper that the Alpha form Westwood pack presented to him, a line forms on his forehead

  • The Imperfect Luna   Marry Me

    CassianMy head is spinning, and everything seems to be whiter than white. Am I in heaven? Did I meet my maker? I ask myself, narrowing my eyes as I adjust to the light in the room.“Sasha? Sa—” I try to sit up when the doors swing open. “Fuck! You’re awake,” Darci growls, his eyes roaming all over my face, his eyes a glint of relief.“Sasha,” I choke out as Shaylen bursts into the room. “Cassian”“I want Sasha. Where is she?”“She’s coming. Let me call her.” Shaylen takes out her phone. Then he starts calling Sasha. I stare at Darci, who is checking my pulse and then my eyes.“You’re good,” he says with relief. “You scared the shit out of everyone,” he says, but I don’t respond. I feel so uneasy. Bjorn just wants to see Sasha; otherwise, he won’t stop stirring in the back of my mind.When the doors swing open again, Sasha bursts in with tears rolling down her cheeks.I try to get up to go to her, but she runs, slinging her arms around my neck. “Oh goddess. Oh, my goddess,” she cries

  • The Imperfect Luna   The Ones We Lost

    Sasha“No!” The words leave my lips, and I see red. A sharp, piercing pain fills my chest as Cassian falls to his knees.I turned to Alaric, thrashing him. He tries to block my punches, but I’m faster. I kick him, and he goes stumbling back.“You killed him. You fucking killed him!” I growl. Throwing punches.“I will rip you apart, limb by limb,” I growl. Kicking him in his gut. He falls back on his tailbone. I pick up a blade from the ground, and I walk towards him. “You shouldn’t have killed him,” I say, tears falling down my cheeks. I took the knife and then stabbed his leg. . He cries, moving back as I take it out. Blood trickles down his face and leg as I pull it out.“Sasha, wait. We can…” He stutters, but I’m done listening to shit. I will kill everyone who took him away from me. After this. I’m going after the bastards who ran away.“I’m sorry, okay? I was…” When he is about to speak again, I get the knife and then stab it in his stomach. He falls back, gasping for air, his

  • The Imperfect Luna   Saved By the Enemy

    CassianI have never seen her so broken. She looks at me like I can save her sister. I pulled out the arrow in my back, wincing before walking back to her.“Help me,” she chokes out, and I get on my knees next to Daniela. How the hell did she get here? We left her back at the castle.“Please. I can’t lose her,” she cries as I check Daniela’s wounds. ‘Darci!’ I link; I could feel him getting closer.‘Cassian? What’s wrong?’‘I need you here,’ I link, applying more pressure on the gunshot wounds. I look up at Sasha, and she is shaking. My hands feel warm and slippery.“Alpha!” Taylor shouts, coming into view. His eyes drop to the ground. He comes running towards us.“Ella?” He calls her, and I frown, looking at him. His eyes roam around her face. His eyes shimmer with tears as he pulls her into his arms.“I told you to fucking stay home,” he says, his voice cracking. Sasha looks around us, then lifts her eyes to me.“Where’s Ravenna?”“I…um…” I stuttered, but Darci showed up just in tim

  • The Imperfect Luna   Fight For Each Other

    Sasha“Let me go!” I shout, but the bastard drags me away. “Cassian!” I shout, but he keeps making me move. I looked over my shoulder, thinking of Penny. Is she still alive? Where have they taken her? What’s happening to Cassian? I try to fight off the bastard I came to know as Russell, but Ravenna kicks my back, and I stumble. “Oh, Ravenna. She’s no use if she dies,” Russell growls, grabbing my arm, forcing me to my feet.“I don’t fucking care if she dies. She took him from me!” Ravenna growls, and I fight back, but I feel so weak. They did something to me, and now I can’t shift.“Cassian!” I shout, but Ravenna shoves me into the backseat of an SUV before getting in.“Keep quiet or I will fucking kill you!” Ravenna points the gun at me while her brother hits the gas pedal.But we don’t get far with their car, a wolf jumps on the windscreen of the car, causing Russell to lose control of the car, and it rams into the trees. I kicked the door open, but as soon as I got out, a black wo
