Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 26: Grandma’s Secret

Astrid's POV

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard Drystan's voice from behind us.

Drystan always appears in the most unexpected times. It's pure luck that he still had no idea about my sickness until now.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Drystan as I clutched my beating heart.

"I just came to check," Drystan answered. "Are you okay now? How are you feeling?" He asked me.

I sighed. "I'm okay, I just get tired easily because of my pregnancy," I lied using a smooth excuse.

Drystan softly nodded his head. "You should rest more since you're pregnant. Always tell us when you need anything," Drystan tells me.

"Is the party over already?" Nova asked Drystan.

"Yes, I told everyone to go home already after we saw the moon," Drystan replied.

"Thank you, Drystan," I paused. "For the party." I don't know how to thank him enough.

Even though the party was too much, I knew I needed it and Drystan must have seen that also.

I've been feeling so troubled lately. Even though Killian bought our lies and I'm officially out of his life, I'm still thinking a lot about him lately and non-existent worries still bother me. Every time that I was alone I couldn't stop myself from thinking of him as much as I hated to admit it.

The surprise party that he held for me was a great distraction. It helped me ease all of my worries and it was a perfect reminder to show me that I don't have to fear anything anymore.
