Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 67: It’s a boy!

Astrid's POV

My life in the Nightsong Pack had been peaceful ever since Killian found out that I was alive and mistook my child as Drystan's. Since then, I have never seen him again, and I haven't heard any news from him. I know I should be happy that Killian has finally given up on me. He is no longer bothering my life and forcing himself on me. Finally, I can have the freedom that I want without having to pretend that I'm dead.

However, I felt a heavy weight in my heart as I felt guilty for still keeping secrets from him. I thought I made the right choice by letting him think that Drystan was the father of my child, but now, I couldn't help but think that I made a great mistake by lying to him. Sometimes, I couldn't sleep at night as I thought of what might happen once Killian realized the truth and found out that he was the father of my child.

I can never keep this huge thing a secret forever. Someday, my child is going to grow up, and he is going to ask questions. Those thoughts kept me awake at night.

"Congratulations! It's a boy!" I covered my mouth in shock, and tears welled inside my eyes when I finally found out the gender of my baby.

Nova, who was clenching my hand tight the whole time, also shrieked in happiness and jumped for joy even though she'd been hoping for my child to be a girl.

"Congratulations!" Drystan looked at me with joy and pride on his face. He had a lot of work to do, yet he gave up all of that just to be with me and find out the gender of my baby.

Filled with so much happiness, I sat up on the bed and pulled him in for a hug.

Drystan was taken aback when I suddenly wrapped my arms around him, but he didn't push me away from him. Instead, he hugged me back tightly and caressed my back.

I softly pressed my chin on his shoulder as I leaned into him for a little longer. With Drystan, I felt safe. I just feel comfortable with him, and I don't feel afraid of making any mistakes around him.
