Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 329

Chapter 329: Farewell Astrid's

POV

Nova and I walked back into the lounge, where Killian and Drystan were seated, deep in conversation. Drystan was casually sipping tea while Killian held a steaming cup of coffee in his hands.

They looked so relaxed, like two old friends catching up on lost time. But as soon as they saw us enter, both of their gazes shifted.

Drystan was the first to react. He stood up immediately, his eyes flickering to Nova before he smiled and excused himself.

"Come on, Nova. Let's give them some space."

I didn't say anything, but I couldn't help but stare at Drystan as he moved to leave.

There was something I wanted to say to him—something I felt I needed to talk to him about - but when

he noticed my gaze, he simply gave me a gentle, knowing smile before turning away.

His arm slipped around Nova's waist as they disappeared through the door, leaving me alone with Killian.

A quiet stillness filled the room as I turned back to him.

Killian took a long sip of his coffee before placing the cup down on the table.

His gaze settled on me, soft and warm, and I could already see the curiosity in his eyes.

"What were you two talking about?" I asked, sliding into the chair across from him, trying to keep my voice casual.

Killian leaned back slightly, a smile tugging at his lips. "Drystan and I were just catching up on a few things. I told him everything — about Giselle, the lies she fed us, and what happened between us two. He also knows that you and I have reconciled and that we're planning to start over... with Ryker."

His eyes softened even more as he said Ryker's name, and I could feel the warmth spread through me just at the thought of us finally being a family.

But there was something else in his expression, something that told me there was more to the conversation.
