Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 172: The Separation

Drystan's POV

I could feel my wolf snarling and pacing restlessly within me, its growls echoing in my mind. Ever since I had foolishly rejected Nova as my mate and Luna, my wolf had been furious. "She was perfect for us!" It howled inside me. "How could you push her away?"

I winced, trying to ignore the relentless complaints of my wolf. Last night, right after I rejected Nova as my mate and Luna, I had to use every ounce of willpower I had to subdue the wolf inside me, forcing it into silence for a time. But now, with the news that Nova was leaving to find her second chance mate, my wolf had whipped into a frenzy once more, and I couldn't hold him back anymore.

"We can't let her go!" It raged. "She belongs with us! We have to talk to her and talk her out of leaving us before it's too late."

I gripped the edge of my desk, and my knuckles turned white as I struggled to maintain control.

I need to stay here, I cannot go to stop Nova. It's better if she leaves. In that way, she could protect herself and ourselves from each other.

Nova would only be miserable if she stayed here, and I would only give her a false sense of hope if I went to stop her.

"Nova is our destined mate. Why are you doing this to us?" My wolf questioned me as he tried to convince me so I would no longer go against his will.

I shook my head, refusing to be convinced. "This is a mistake. Nova is the younger sister of our mate," I reminded him to knock the senses out of him.

"Our mate is dead!" My wolf yelled at me. "And now the moon goddess gave us another one. How could you let her go?"
