Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 47: Broken Connection

Astrid's POV

"Enjoy everyone, and I hope you'll have a great stay in our Pack," I flashed my pretty smile to the crowd as I stepped off the podium.

The crowd gave me a round of applause right after I ended my speech. The whole time that I was speaking on stage, I could feel his intense gaze boring holes at me, making me feel uncomfortable the whole time. The moment I stepped off the stage, I could finally feel my whole body again.

"Don't forget to breathe, Astrid," Nova chided when I reached her off the stage.

My heart had finally relaxed, and I could breathe properly again after I had escaped everyone's attention.

I gripped Nova's warm hand for support. Nova didn't say a word as I gripped her hand tightly with my icy-cold fingers.

I'm glad that Nova is here with me. She never left my side even though she also has her own personal life. She stood by me, willing to support me.

"I need to take a break," I muttered under my breath.

"Of course, I'll go inform Drystan," Nova answered.

I nodded my head and proceeded to the nearest exit. I took a few deep breaths when I reached the back of the venue, as if I'd finally learned how to breathe for the first time.

Staying inside the crowded venue with all the people I have known before made me feel strangled. I felt suffocated by the pressure. I feel choked up thinking that Killian is there with them. "Looking for an escape?" My body froze up when I heard someone speak behind me.

I turned my head around, my eyes widened when I saw Killian. I instantly snapped my head forward so he wouldn't
