Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 178: 1st Birthday

Astrid's POV

"I'm glad that Nova is having the best time of her life," Drystan spoke after he had read the letter.

I watched as he carefully folded back the letter and placed everything back in the envelope.

"She said she's going to leave to look for her mate, but she's having too much good time by herself. She's not going to find her mate if she just keeps on relaxing and enjoying herself," I replied as I took back the envelope and tucked it back inside the pocket. "How about you? Did she send you any letter?" I asked him, wanting to see what photo she had sent him.

I always felt unsatisfied with the single photos she sent me. I wish she would add more pictures. I told her to do that the last time I wrote back to her, but she still only sent one photo.

"It was just a very short letter. You know, she was just talking about her trip in Hawaii," Drystan answered as he continued eating.

"How about a photo? Did she sent you one? Did you bring it with you?" I asked him eagerly, pleading that he would also share it with me.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to bring her letter with me. You know, I always pack my things in the last minute and I'm always in a hurry. How could I remember to pack a letter with me?" Drystan replied, giving me the same excuse he had given me before.

I think he was just hiding Nova's letters from me. It must be so personal that he did not want me to see it. There's no way that Nova won't send him a letter, right? The two of them are so close.

"Beside, there's nothing to see. She also just sent me a photo of the beach," Drystan added nonchalantly.

I sighed, "I wish I went with her. I'm tired of being stuck in here. Who knows? Maybe I would have found my second chance mate if I went with her."
