Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 240: Hidden Attraction

Astrid's POV

I stood with my arms crossed, my eyes blank as I drowned in my own thoughts. My gaze was fixed on the Pack Omegas, watching them load my luggage into the car. Each bag disappeared into the trunk with a soft thud, a rhythmic soundtrack to my swirling thoughts. Though I was physically present, my mind wandered far beyond the scene before me. I observed the Omegas working, but my thoughts were consumed by the journey ahead and the unknowns that awaited me.

As my imagination took hold, I couldn't shake the conversation I had with Alpha Theron earlier. The weight of his words lingered in the air, pressing down on me like an impending storm.

Alpha Theron's words were a great reminder to me, and they settled heavily in my mind, bothering me.

"Astrid!"

My soul nearly leaped out of my body when someone suddenly surprised me from behind.

I turned around to find Nova beaming at me, her bright energy a stark contrast to my swirling thoughts.

I placed a hand over my chest to calm my racing heartbeat.

When I turned around, I saw Nova beaming at me. As I focused on her bright smile, I noticed her expression shift to one of concern, a frown forming when she registered my startled reaction. "Hey! You okay?" She asked, her eyes sparkling with concern.

I forced a smile on my face, hoping to soothe her unease. "You startled me," I replied to lighten the moment.

Nova's brows knitted together, and guilt washed over her features. "I'm so sorry," she apologized, her voice laced with worry.
