Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 190: No Turning Back

Drystan's POV

My heart raced as I approached the familiar borders of the Shadowfang Pack. After three long years, Astrid is finally coming home with me.

I waited for one year and then another two years to finally be with her in my Pack. I held on to her promise that she'd be coming back no matter what.

I have everything arranged for her in the Pack. The room where she would be staying was already waiting for her. I have also informed all the Pack members that she's coming, and everyone is excited to welcome her.

For the past three years, the Pack had developed a lot, but even so, I wanted her to feel that nothing changed much since the last time she left. I don't want her to feel out of place in the Pack and make her think that the three years were too much.

My smile deepened when I already saw Astrid waiting right at the Shadowfang Pack's entrance. I wonder how long she has been standing there all alone, waiting for me. She must have been as excited as I was.

Last night, I couldn't even sleep, thinking that she'd be finally staying with us. I could already practically see what it would be like to live in the same place as her again where I could see her every day and any time that I wanted to, and I no longer have to travel long distances just to meet her.

I pressed the car's brakes when I finally arrived in front of her. She slowly lifted up her gaze when the car stopped in front of her.

My smile dropped when the smile I had envisioned on her lips was nowhere to be found. Instead, her expression was etched with a deep sorrow, her eyes downcast.

My world slowed down when I saw her expression as fear started to cloud my mind. Thankfully, the car windows were heavily tinted. Even a werewolf wouldn't be able to see through it.
