Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 304: Justice Astrid's POV

My legs wobbled, and I felt myself collapsing under the weight of the revelation. But before I could hit the ground, Killian's arms wrapped around me, steady and strong.

He pulled me close, catching me as I broke down. "I've got you," he whispered, his voice soft and soothing against my ear. "I've got you."

I buried my face in his shoulder, the tears spilling out uncontrollably as the emotions I had suppressed for so long came crashing down.

He held me tightly, his embrace warm and secure as my sobs wracked my body. All the years of pain, the longing, the grief-it all poured out of me, and I couldn't stop.

Killian's hand moved in slow circles on my back, his touch gentle and comforting.

"It's okay," he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "Cry if you need to. I'm here."

I clung to him, the warmth of his body grounding me as the storm of emotions raged inside.

I could feel the strength in his arms, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against mine, and for the first time in so long, I felt safe.

I let myself cry, my tears soaking into his shirt as he continued to hold me, whispering words of comfort.

But as I quieted, another emotion stirred within me a burning hatred. The revelation of Giselle's lies

struck like a dagger, and all the pieces of my shattered past fell into place.
