Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 5: Bracelet

Astrid's POV

My heart was heavy with grief and my body was fully exhausted when I returned to the packhouse.

Being pregnant made me become more emotional, and it also made me tire more easily. With everything that had happened to me lately, being pregnant made things more difficult for me.

Returning to the packhouse was the last thing that I wanted, but I had to. I had left all my things behind when I suddenly decided not to come back anymore.

Right now, I just don't want to meet anyone who would ruin my mood even further. I came to the packhouse to pack my things and that's it. I have no intention of meeting Killian or even seeing his face.

I also do not have any intention of telling him about our unborn child anymore.

I instinctively touched my bump as I had that thought. I bit my lower lip as I felt sorry for my child.

As someone who grew up without a father, I do not want my baby to experience that also. However, I couldn't also let him grow up with a father who doesn't want him either.

Since Killian already has a child with Giselle, it's clear he wouldn't want a child with me anymore.

It doesn't matter anymore. My mother managed to raise me on her own before. I will make sure that I will be a better mother to my child than my mother was.

"You're back," someone spoke from behind me while I was stuffing all my things in my luggage so I could finally leave this place for good. "You were gone for three days. What kind of Luna leaves the Pack for such a long time without notice?" I gritted my teeth as I closed my filled luggage and zipped it up before turning around to face Killian's mother.

Killian's mother had always disliked me. She had always thought that I was too weak to become a Luna and that I did not deserve her son.

For years, I've tried my best to live up to her expectations and live in peace with her as my mother-in-law. However, no matter what I did, she never liked me.
