Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 109: Erika

Astrid's POV

Everyone stopped and bowed their heads with respect when Alpha Theron entered the room.

Alpha Theron's piercing gaze scanned the room. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion when he saw the amount of Pack guards crowding inside the room.

But then, Alpha Theron's stern expression softened when his eyes fell upon me, kneeling weakly on the ground.

Without hesitation, he strode towards me, concern etched on his features. Reaching down, Alpha Theron gently took my arm, helping me to my feet with a tenderness that belied his imposing stature.

I was surprised at how much he cared. I felt uncomfortable receiving such treatment from a man like him.

"Are you alright?" Theron's deep voice was laced with unmistakable worry as he steadied me and carefully brought me back to bed.

"Thank you, Alpha. I'm alright," I replied, as I felt uneasy at the attention that he was giving me.

It felt awkward when I saw everyone staring at us in surprise. Asha has the most interesting reaction from them all. Her expression is filled with different emotions that it is hardly readable. Alpha Theron stood up straight before slowly facing the others. The softness in his gaze hardened into a steely, unwavering glare as he turned to them.

"What happened here?" His deep voice rumbled like distant thunder, brooking no argument or evasion.

His brows furrowed, his expression morphing into one of undisguised fury. Gone was the protectiveness he had shown me in its place, an aura of raw, unyielding authority radiated from him. The Pack guards shifted uncomfortably, sensing the Alpha's wrath as he demanded answers, his posture rigid and unyielding.
