Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Hidden Information Astrid's POV

I had braced myself for questions, for confusion, maybe a hint of curiosity when I showed him the book.

But instead of the reaction I expected, his eyes sharpened, and something flickered across his face-fear, maybe?

Leaning forward, he asked in a low, urgent voice, "Where did you get this?"

The question stunned me, and I froze, letting the weight of his words settle over me.

He already knew. He knew exactly what this book was.

Alpha Theron's eyes widened, realizing his mistake. "Astrid... I—"
