Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 136: They met Again

Astrid's POV

My palms grew clammy as I drew nearer to the Silvermoon Pack's relief brigade. My heart thundered in my ears as memories of the past that I had tried so desperately to outrun threatened to overwhelm me.

Even though I knew that Killian would not be among them, the very sight of the Silvermoon Pack's sigil filled me with dread that I thought I had long since buried.

Steeling my nerves, I forced one foot in front of the other, willing my trembling limbs to obey. I was nervous because I was afraid that one of them would recognize me, and right now, I'm not in the right capacity to be reminded of the past. Alpha Theron sent me here to keep my mind busy and to stop me from living in the past, a thing that I could never change. I'm not recovering because I'm still stuck in the past.

However, instead of finding my new sense of purpose, I ran into my past instead.

How I longed to simply turn and flee, to hide my face away from them, but I know I cannot do that. As the leader of the Shadowfang Pack's relief efforts, it is my duty to meet with them to coordinate the aid they will give to the Emberwood Pack. As I approached the group, I felt the weight of their gazes upon me; their curious and suspicious gaze was palpable.

Still, I continued fighting the urge to shrink back. Instead, I lifted my chin, meeting their scrutiny with a facade of calm confidence.

"Greetings to the members of the Silvermoon Pack!" I began, surprised at how steady my voice sounded. "I am Astrid, here on behalf of the Shadowfang Pack to welcome your aid and assistance."

I steeled myself, mustering all my courage and confidence to be able to stand straight in front of them while they shared quizzical stares at each other.
