Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 22: True Friends

Astrid's POV

"Astrid," Drystan called out my name as soon as he entered my room. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Nova and the Pack Doctor who were standing beside me.

"What happened?" Drystan's eyes widened as he rushed over me.

He looked at me with a worry etched across his face as if I was already dying. This is one of the reasons why I don't want him to know that I'm sick. He doesn't know anything about my sickness yet, but he is already worried. "I'm fine, Drystan," I forced a smile on my face as I tried to sit up on my bed.

Nova rushed to my side to help me get up, but I refused to get her help since I was no longer in pain anymore.

"What is the Doctor doing here? Did something happen when I was gone?" Drystan asked us.

I laughed at his exaggerated reaction to stop him from worrying. "What do you mean? Didn't you say that you tasked a Pack Doctor to monitor my health? I wasn't doing anything so I called him in for a checkup," I lied between my teeth. "What did he find out? What happened?" My heart quickened its pace when Drystan turned to ask Nova a question.

Nova's eyes widened as she locked gazes with Drystan whose face was serious.

I crossed my fingers, hoping that she would do me a favor. "Astrid is fine and the baby is completely, alright," Nova said the truth without saying everything.

My tense muscles slowly relax. I'm so thankful that she covered up for me. However, I don't know how long that would last because Nova seems uncomfortable lying to Drystan.
