All Chapters of The Imperfect Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Sasha“You can’t be serious! Thorne’s daughter? Are you—” The bald man is the one protesting. He seems furious to know that I am the woman Cassian just announced as the woman he wants to marry, even though he already knows this.“Enough!” Cassian snaps, clenching his hand tight on the table.The entire room falls silent, turning to look at him. I notice some alphas around the table shift uncomfortably, turning to face Cassian.“You wanted me to marry, right? I have brought your much-needed bride. Sasha will be Luna, whether you agree or not,” He declines.Alpha Harry, the bald one, decides to speak. “Forgive me, Your Grace, but everyone here is aware of your previous brides. Are we to believe this one is different?”I glance at Cassian, who clenches his jaw tightly. So tightly I can hear his teeth grinding together.“If I remember correctly, your last bride was just buried a few weeks ago. If you decide to marry her, then…” He pauses, turning to me. His words send a chill down my spin

SashaNo goddess.I’m drowning.The darkness envelopes me like a warm blanket on a chilly winter night. Then suddenly a fall. I keep falling into endless darkness.“No!” I jolted up awake, my eyes peering around the room.I’m not dead. I am in my room. Alive!It was a nightmare, but my neck hurt. It burns so much.“Oh, Ms. Sasha! You are awake,” Ariel rushes to my side, taking my hand in hers. “Are you okay? How are you feeling?”“My neck… It…”“I know. Let me get the doctor! She hurriedly gets off the bed and then runs out of the room. I am not in my lounge suit, but in a dress. I bring my hand to my neck, and it burns. There’s a bandage on it. My heart races and my breath comes in short, rapid bursts.No. No.Tears sting my eyes as I curl up on the bed, bringing my knees to my chest, and wrapping my arms around my knees. He almost killed me. I just wanted to help. I didn’t want to poison him.Oh, goddess, I am in trouble.“Where’s she?” A male voice came when the door swung open. M

Sasha“Come on. This will make you feel,” Ariel insisted, dragging me out of the palace. I wasn’t fully recovered, but I guess this was better than staying in bed and feeling sorry for myself.My mark was still healing, but at least with the cream I applied to it. It doesn’t sting anymore. I pulled on a black sweater over my white floral dress with some flat slippers she made me wear.I decided I wanted to walk to the bakery. She wanted to get me some sweet things and let the driver pick us up.“Going somewhere?” Ravenna asked me when I met her on the way to the shop. I glanced at Ariel, so maybe she could respond.“She would like to get some air away from the place.”“Oh. Something wrong with the palace?” She asked, her bright red lip turning up into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“Not really. She just—”“I wasn’t speaking to you!” She snapped at Ariel, then turned to face me with a smile. I looked at Ariel, her lower lip trembling, then her hand, which was clenched tight.“T

Sasha“No. Please don’t hurt me. I didn’t do it!” I screamed, jolting awake as I gasped. My eyes roamed around the room.I’m alive and in Cassian’s room.He came. He came for me.I closed my eyes, thinking of what happened. That kid set me up. I groaned, throwing the blanket off me. The last time I was in this room, I almost lost my life. I am not spending another minute in this room.I stepped out of bed, making my way towards the door, and my hip screamed. My head was throbbing so hard, I closed my eyes briefly, limping to the door. I pulled it open and made my way out of the room.“Hey Diane” I whispered when I approached my room, she was just coming out with a tray of food.“Oh, my goddess!” She gasped, covering her mouth and eyes wide like she had just seen a ghost.“You are alive,” She exclaimed, coming closer to me. ”Yes. Can you get me, Ariel? I want…”“You don’t know?” She chimed in before I could finish my sentence, eyes roaming all over my face.“Know what?”She shook her h

SashaI woke up in his grace’s arms. He was sleeping next to me when I slept in the middle of the night. He was in my room, so now I had nowhere to sleep.I made my way to the garden and found a bench near the fountain. I was still in his T-shirt. I wanted to take it off, but having nothing inside me made me decide against it.I put my feet on the bench and hugged myself, staring at the castle. I was a prisoner again. With no choices in my life. First, it was my father, and now the alpha king.I was forcefully marked, and now I have to bear the consequences of a decision I didn’t make. I let the tears roll down my cheeks. Maybe it would have been better if I had died.Now I feel so trapped. I feel so alone.Tears continue to fall, and I don’t know how I end up sleeping on the bench, but when I come to, there’s a blanket on me, and birds are chirping.On the ground sitting and her head on the bench is another person I can’t recognize. She has her face turned away. “Oh, goddess!” I push
