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.

"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?
