Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 111: Scorned

Astrid's POV

My composure crumbled, and I broke out into tears when Alpha Theron and the others finally left the room, leaving Drystan, Nova, and me behind.

Drystan stood silently by my side, his usually stoic expression softening with concern as he regarded me. Nova, ever the perceptive one, reached out and gave my hand a gentle squeeze.

"It's going to be alright," Nova murmured, her voice like a soothing balm.

Why did he have to say that? Why did he have to expose the truth now, after I just lost my child? Did he think that I would be happy to find out that he was my father? Did he think that I would run into his arms and forgive me like nothing happened by just showing remorse?

The only emotion I felt when I heard the truth was not joy but anger. Now that I finally knew the truth, I finally knew the amount of pain that my mother went through because of him.

As an omega mated to an Alpha, I know how it feels to be abused and oppressed because of discrimination because of the difference we had in our status.

Being mated to an Alpha wasn't like a fairy tale. It wasn't like Cinderella meeting her prince and getting her happily ever after.

For us omegas, being mated to an Alpha or falling in love with an Alpha is a nightmare.

When I married Killian, it wasn't a rags-to-riches kind of story; when I married him, it was like experiencing the seven hells just being with him.
