Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 31: Old Life

Astrid's POV

I lay awake on my bed with my eyes wide open, unable to turn back to sleep. It's extremely early, the sun hasn't even risen yet. I used to wake up at this hour of the day every single day back when I was still a Luna. My body clock is yet to adjust to the new life that I have. In my days as a Luna, I used to wake up before the sun could take its place in the sky to work until late in the night.

Back then, I would work for hours straight without any time to rest, but now all I had to do all day was rest.

Drystan and Nova refused to let me do any work just because I was pregnant. They are treating me like I'm a disabled person.

I know that it is unreasonable of me to complain that I'm doing nothing, but my body is just not used to doing nothing.

I miss my job, I miss having tasks that I had to complete throughout the day. I feel like I'm only wasting time every day.

Even though it was not time for me to wake up yet, I stood up and cleaned my bed knowing that I won't be able to bring myself back to sleep.

I decided to go out for a morning walk even though it was still dark inside and everyone was still probably asleep especially since they had to go to bed late last night because of the party that we had.

I breathed in fresh air as I enjoyed the early morning breeze and I took a walk just around the packhouse. I decided not to walk too far, remembering the bad thing that happened to me the last time that I strolled not too far from the Pack borders.

As I was strolling just outside the packhouse, I stepped back and hid at the corner of a wall when I heard footsteps coming.

I didn't know why I hid, I just acted on instinct when I realized that I was not alone. I thought that everyone was asleep except for me.

"Remember what I told you. If you fail to convince them to believe that Astrid is dead, then I will kill your family and wipe out your whole pack. Is that clear?"
