Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 90: Cruel Fate

Drystan's POV

My knees turned weak as the realization that Astrid was going to die threatened to overwhelm me. I had to lean against the wall for support as my mind reeled with the cruel finality of the doctor's words.

I shook my head, refusing to accept this. "There must be another way. We can't just wait for her to die!" I insisted.

The Doctor placed a sympathetic hand on my shoulder as if he had already expected reluctance from me. "Even if by some miracle she managed to push through, her health might still deteriorate once she wakes up," he paused the unspoken words hanging between them.

"She might not be able to handle the news that she... miscarried," he finally uttered.

I took in a sharp breath, and my eyes widened at his horrible news.

"W-What?" I stammered as my breath left my lungs.

"I'm sorry, Alpha, the child did not make it. We did the best that we could to save the child, but with the injuries that Miss Astrid had suffered and with her wolf's weak condition, the child wasn't able to hold on.

My face fell when the doctor shared the devastating news. My shoulders sagged as a heavy weight pressed down upon me. My heart ached both for Astrid and for the child who never got the chance to live his life. "Alpha Drystan, I think I should take my leave," the doctor spoke solemnly so I could be alone.
