Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 37: Resemblance

Astrid's POV

I gripped the steering wheel as my weary eyes scanned the winding road ahead. The rhythmic hum of the engine reverberated through the car, blending harmoniously with the faint music playing on the car's speaker.

It was a long ride travelling from the Nightsong Pack to the Frostbite Pack. Nova and I took turns behind the wheel so we could arrive there as soon as possible before the Frostbite Pack could sign an alliance with the Silvermoon Pack and lose all our chances. Nova lay sound asleep beside me, her chest rising and falling into a peaceful slumber. She drove all night before I took my turn to drive this morning.

I shivered when the bitter cold seeped through the car's window, chilling me to the bone and adding an extra layer of fatigue.

Drowsiness tugged at me because of the cold climate. The long empty road, the snowflakes that pattered the windshield, and the snow-covered landscape outside. It made it hard for a pregnant woman like me to keep my eyes open.

I yawned and flexed my fingers on the steering wheel to battle my drowsiness. We are nearing our destination. The fact that everything around us is snow-covered right now just shows that we are near.

"Oh no!" My eyes widened, and I jammed my foot on the break when someone suddenly sprinted in front of my car. I yelped as I nearly bumped my head into the steering wheel because of the sudden force.

Nova blinked her eyes and groaned after she was broke out of her slumber. "W-What happened?" She asked me with a sleepy voice.

I didn't answer her. I removed my seatbelt and went out of the car to see what it was. My heart raced inside my chest as I wondered if I had killed something.
