Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 40: Daddy!

Astrid's POV

"Do you like it out here?" I asked Lucinda with a smile on my face as we accompanied her at the garden, but just like usual, she never responded.

Still, Nova and I kept asking her questions hoping that she would say a word to us.

To grant Luna Crystalia's request. We agreed to spend time with her daughter to hopefully get her to speak.

I'm not sure why Luna Crystalia thought that her daughter would open to us. We are strangers to this Pack, and Lucinda is not familiar to us. I'm not sure why Lucinda would trust us, but I hope that she would. "These are her favorite toys, Lady Stella," the omega informed me as she brought Lucinda's dolls and huge doll houses to us.

I thought playing with Lucinda would make her comfortable with us. "Thank you," I muttered to the omega with a smile.

After bringing what we have requested, they finally left us alone as we wanted. I believe there would be more chances of Lucinda opening up to us if there are only the three of us.

"Oohh! This doll looks just like me," Nova beamed as she held up a doll with strawberry hair and outfit. "Do you think this doll looks like me, Lucinda?"

Lucinda looked out of herself. It seems she didn't even hear Nova's words.

"Lucinda?" Nova called out her name, but Lucinda kept staring somewhere far.

I traced her gaze and found out that she's staring at the forest. I remember how we first found her lost at the forest. Maybe she's sick of being around the Packhouse. Maybe she wanted to explore somewhere else. "Why don't we go to the forest and play hide and seek?" I suggested.

Lucinda's gaze suddenly turned to me when she heard my question which is something new from her.

"That sounds good, we should do that," Nova agreed when she saw the reaction we gained from Lucinda.

Lucinda held no expression on her face as she walked with us, but I know that she would be happy. "Who should play the seeker?"
