Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 19: Nightsong Pack’s Luna

Astrid's POV

My body is tense as I wonder what's happening outside. I hope Drystan will be able to convince Killian, and that Killian won't give him such a hard time.

I wish I could go out and see what's happening so I wouldn't have to be left in the dark, anxiously waiting for Drystan's news.

Being left alone in my room, my mind couldn't stop thinking about worst-case scenarios.

What if Killian doesn't believe us? What if he sees through our plans? I just don't want anything to do with Killian anymore. I want to cut him off my life completely and that could only happen if he thinks that I'm dead.

I jumped in my seat when someone twisted the door open. My heart pounded in my chest thinking that Killian was here. He has found me and he is taking me back to his Pack.

I was so horrified until Nova peeked inside. I shut my eyes tight and clutched my dear heart as I slumped back on my couch.

Nova slowly entered and locked the door behind her. "Astrid, are you okay?" Nova rushed to my side with her brows wrinkled together when she saw my state.

"You frightened me!" I exclaimed. My heart is still racing inside my chest.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you," Nova bit her lower lip. She really felt bad for causing me distress.

She held her hands together, not knowing how to help me.

Nova pulled me out of my wits, I can't be angry at her for not knocking before entering when she's the official member of this Pack and I'm just staying here
