Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 184: Special Banquet

Astrid's POV

I stared into the mirror, feeling exhausted and sleepy, yet the makeup perfectly covered the weariness etched into my face.

The bags under my eyes caused by the stress of being an acting Beta was gone, covered by whatever cosmetic they used on me.

It's like they worked magic on me. I looked fresh and beautiful, like I wasn't from a long day of duty.

I smoothed my hands over the soft, velvety fabric of my dress, which was sent to me by Alpha Theron just yesterday. He told me to wear this dress for today's special banquet.

I wanted to deny the invitation, and I think he knew that which is why he sent me this dress along with the invitation, so it would be hard for me to say no.

The dress looked so good on me, though. The deep burgundy hue accentuated my graceful figure. It's evident that it was custom-tailored just for me.

I have no idea what the banquet is for. I heard nobody is invited, just Alpha Theron and then my half-siblings. The banquet is solely for the family.

Perhaps the banquet is for Andros, who has just recently returned to the Pack. That's the only reason I could think of for Alpha Theron to hold a special banquet just for us.

The banquet was so special that I had to wear such a beautiful dress on this occasion.
