Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 7: Fall from Power

Astrid's POV

My mind went blank as I wandered mindlessly, not knowing where my feet were taking me.

Now that I have divorced Killian and now that I got the freedom that I wanted, what now? How long will I be able to survive as a rogue when I'm pregnant?

A bitter smile rose to my lips as I lifted my face to the sky, thinking that if I tilted my head up my tears would stop from falling.

Instead, my tears blurred my vision even more when I saw the dark heavy clouds above me who were just like me, keeping in tears instead of letting it all fall out.

A soft cry escaped my lips as I continued walking. I'm pregnant and I had nowhere to go or no one to help me. It's going to rain soon and I don't even have a safe shelter where I could stay at.

"There is a small pack nearby, maybe we can stay there. You need to walk fast before the rain catches us." Ingrid, my wolf, spoke inside my head.

Since I'm pregnant, it's dangerous for the baby if I shift into my wolf. I really had no choice but to walk on foot.

I yelped when a car passed by and splashed me with mud. I stopped as I felt the muddy dirt seep through my clothes.

As if this day isn't already bad enough.

I lifted my head up when the car windows rolled down and I heard someone laugh. I froze when I saw Giselle inside sitting on the driver's seat.
