Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 300: The Breaking Point Astrid's POV

Just as the tension reached its breaking point, Damien arrived, oblivious to what had ensued during his absence.

All eyes were drawn on him as he walked through the crowd and approached us.

He strode in with purpose, but there was a noticeable shift in his demeanor-something about the way he scanned the room told me he could sense the tension in the air.

"We found Hazel," Damien announced, his voice steady but laced with concern. "She's safe. I left her with the Pack Doctor to do a thorough checkup, just to make sure.

As soon as Damien's words hung in the air, a palpable wave of relief washed over the crowd and everyone seemed to ease, if only for a moment.

I glanced at Giselle catching how she let out a breath she had been clearly holding, her body visibly relaxing even though her act is on the verge of being exposed.

"What's going on?" he asked, his voice a mix of curiosity and concern when he didn't gain the reaction that he wanted.

His eyes swept over us, taking in the charged atmosphere. He paused, his brows furrowing as he registered the unease.

Before anyone could respond, Giselle, who had been teetering on the edge of collapse, suddenly stood tall.

Her fear seemed to evaporate as soon as Damien appeared, and she turned to face the crowd with a new sense of confidence.
