Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Drystan's POV

Before I could give much thought to what Asha's true intentions were, the door suddenly slammed open, stealing all of our attention.

Alpha Theron suddenly burst out of the door with a wide grin on his face. "Astrid is awake!" he cried, his voice brimming with unbridled joy. Without a moment's hesitation, I entered Astrid's room and rushed to her bedside with my heart pounding with a mixture of hope and trepidation. "Astrid,' I breathed out, stealing the breath from my lungs when I saw her.

There she was, finally sitting up on her bed, her eyes open and alert, with a small radiant smile playing on her lips.

"Drystan." Astrid muttered my name, surprised to see me here.

At that moment, a profound relief flooded through me, chasing away the fear and worry that had been my constant companion ever since Astrid was put in danger.

I'm so glad that I have left sooner, or else I wouldn't arrive on time to see her. She's finally alive, she's conscious - she has finally returned to us.

"Astrid!" Nova suddenly cried out, her voice thick with emotion as she disrupted the whole room.

She suddenly pushed me aside, and before I could react, she already had her arms around Astrid, almost swallowing her whole.

I watched with a mixture of joy and bewilderment as she enveloped Astrid in a tight hug, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

Seeing how Nova was squeezing Astrid to death, I stepped forward, about to pull her away, when Astrid suddenly returned Nova's hug with equal fervor, a small but radiant smile gracing her features. Nova's shoulders shook slightly as she held Astrid's close. "You scared me," she spoke angrily as she bawled her eyes out.
