Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 209: New Acquaintances

Astrid's POV

A smile formed on my face as I stared at Vannessa's little girl. Her blonde curls were a tangled mess, escaping from the bright pink headband that sat crookedly on her head. She wore a bright yellow dress with a cartoon unicorn in it. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes, which were just tired and sleepy, suddenly turned bright as she pointed a finger at her approaching father.

"Daddy!" she yelled as she ran towards her father with her tiny shoes, one pink and one blue.

"Oh look at her," Vanessa whispered to me. "I thought she had already used up her energy. I was so ready to get her to sleep."

I chuckled when I heard Vanessa's words close to my ear.

"How is my little darling doing?" Vanessa's husband beamed energetically as he picked up his daughter, trying his best to match her energy.

Vanessa and her husband sweetly gazed at each other. By the depth of the look in their eyes, you can see how much they are in love with each other.

I think they are also secretly talking through their Pack link.

"Come with me! Let me introduce you to my husband," Vanessa spoke happily.

I yelped when she suddenly laced her arm around me and pulled me towards her husband before I could even say no to her.

I was about to complain about it, but the mirth in my eyes instantly vanished when it landed on Killian, who was standing silently beside Vanessa's husband.
