Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Dark Secret Astrid's POV

I sat on the bench, my face buried in my hands, my body trembling as sobs wracked through me.

Tears streamed down my cheeks, soaking my palms as I cried harder than I had in years.

Everything I had been holding inside the fear, the uncertainty, the hopelessness - it all poured out of me in that moment.

I had just finished telling Nova everything, and now that the words were out in the open, the weight of it was unbearable.

Nova sat beside me, her hand gently patting my back, offering silent comfort.

She hadn't said much after I told her about the Almega, the book, and the curse that loomed over me, but her presence was enough.

Just knowing she was here, that I wasn't alone in this, helped steady me, even if just a little.

I wiped my eyes, trying to calm the sobs that wouldn't stop coming.

"I don't know what to do," I whispered between shaky breaths. "I'm so scared, Nova. I don't want to become... that."

Nova's hand stilled on my back for a moment, and then she wrapped her arm around my shoulders, pulling me into a gentle hug.

"Astrid, listen to me," she said softly, her voice filled with determination. "There must be something we can do. The book... it's old, right? Maybe back then, there was no cure. But that doesn't mean there isn't one now."

Her words settled over me like a small spark of hope, igniting something deep in my chest.

I sniffed, lifting my head slightly, my tear-filled eyes meeting hers.
