Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 347: Wanted Criminal Asha's POV

The air was thick with grief, but Astrid's accusatory words cut through the silence like a blade.

I knelt beside Father's lifeless body, tears blurring my vision. My trembling fingers clutched his cold hand, my mind struggling to process what Astrid was implying. Betrayal? From Andros?

I glanced at my brother. His face was tight with a mix of anger and hurt, his posture rigid under Astrid's scrutiny.

He looked calm, yet something about his demeanor felt off. It wasn't guilt-it was more like a defense mechanism, a mask he wore too well.

Then it hit me a memory. A vivid flash of a conversation I had overheard just a few days ago.

How could I ever forget that unfamiliar stranger and the suspicious conversation that they had.

At that time I didn't think much of it, but as I remembered the details, I start to wonder if it was all connected to what happened to us.

The date and the time that was mentioned, it all corresponds to the rogue attack. The timing is too perfect to be a coincidence.

I stiffened, my heart pounding against my ribcage. Could it be? Was Andros behind all of this?

I looked back at him, my gaze darting between him and Astrid, who stood resolutely, her accusations relentless.

I couldn't speak, deep inside I know that my brother would never do such thing, but Astrid's questions and the conversation that I overhead... I just want to hear my brother's answers.

And then Andros pulled out the book and recognition flashed on Astrid's eyes, her anger turning into fear.

"This is the reason why father died," Andros declared, his voice steady but sharp like a blade.
