Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 102: Blacklisted

Killian's POV

My journey to the Nightsong Pack was arduous and relentless, but my weary self pressed on without rest until I reached my destination.

What should have been a leisurely 8-hour drive through the rolling hills and winding roads became a punishing 5-hour slog, as I gave up the usual road breaks in the journey and pushed myself to the limits.

I yawned as I pressed on the gas pedal and drove through the empty road. It's already twelve midnight. I should now be sleeping, resting after everything that had happened in the Pack earlier.

My body felt so exhausted. This morning, I had to wake up earlier than usual because of the event, and then I had to run for miles as I anxiously searched for Astrid.

After that, I went directly to the hospital, and when I found out that Drystan and Astrid had left the hospital, I instantly pursued them.

I haven't slept a wink since this morning.

And now this speeding down an empty road with only the soft rumble of the car humming as if lulling me to sleep.

Since I was in a hurry, I didn't bother to bring anyone with me and drove the car myself.

I know it's dangerous driving alone in the middle of the night, especially since rogues usually prey on wolves at night, but I'm more worried about Astrid than I am about putting myself in danger.

I couldn't push this journey for tomorrow, so I rested in my room. I know that even if I lay on my soft bed back at home, I will never fall asleep even though my body feels severely exhausted. I would only lie there with my eyes open as I thought of Astrid.

With a deep breath, I slowed down the car when I reached a rocky dirt path. Since Packs are located in the forests and places where no humans can find them, it's easy to get lost without a straight concrete path that leads directly to a Pack, but since I've been here before, I know the way, like the back of my hand.
