Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 324: The Cure Astrid's POV

I stared at the book in my hands, my fingers trembling as I continued to flip through the pages.

I had always known Giselle was manipulative, a liar through and through, but this time... she had been telling the truth.

The truth was here, written in the ancient pages of this book, and no matter how much I wanted to deny it, I couldn't.

My heart raced, each beat thudding heavily in my chest. This book wasn't just about some random creature. It was about me.

The next passage stopped me cold.

"Relationships between Alphas and Omegas are forbidden. Such unions are immoral, unnatural, and evil. They go against the natural order of the wolf hierarchy. The offspring of such unions are cursed, born with an inherent darkness that cannot be tamed. They are known as Almegas."

My blood turned to ice. Immoral. Unnatural. Cursed.

The words echoed in my mind, each one cutting deeper than the last. My parents... they had been forbidden from loving each other.

Their union had never been accepted by the world we lived in. And I... I was the result of that forbidden love.

The consequence of their choices. Born with this darkness, this imbalance inside me.

I turned the page, dreading what came next, but knowing I had to see it through.

"An Almega is the result of the deadly combination of Alpha and Omega blood. The Almega wolf is

unstable, caught between the strength and dominance of the Alpha and the submissive, primal instincts of

the Omega. This imbalance creates a creature that is feral, uncontrollable, and filled with an insatiable

urge to kill. Once the wolf gains control, the human counterpart is lost. Permanently."

My breath caught in my throat, and I felt the world tilt beneath me. My mind reeled as I tried to process what I was reading.

This wasn't just about an imbalance. It was about losing myself. Becoming a monster just like what Giselle had said.
