Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 238: Not Alone

Astrid's POV

I held a bemused expression on my face as I stepped out of my room, a whirlwind of disheveled thoughts and half-hearted energy swirling around me.

Today, I'm going to be on my way to Silvermoon Pack. I thought I'd be motivated and excited; I'd waited for more than three years to be given a chance at revenge.

Yet, I didn't expect that I'd feel absolutely nothing about it. Instead, a strange emptiness settled in my gut, as if the anticipation had been siphoned away.

Ever since my son died, avenging him has been my only goal in life. I must be feeling empty because I knew even if I annihilated the whole Silvermoon Pack, nothing could bring my son back to life.

I slung my bag tight on my shoulder as I closed my door behind me, ready to leave. As I glanced back at my almost empty room, a knot formed in the pit of my stomach, and I wondered how long it would take me to return here. Would I be successful in avenging my son?

Would I even be able to come back alive?
