Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 404: Broken Fragments

Astrid's POV

The warrior's words hung in the air like a heavy shroud, suffocating and cold. I stared at him, trying to make sense of what I'd just heard.

"The fragments... are missing?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.

My heart pounded, each beat echoing louder in my ears as confusion and disbelief clawed at my thoughts.

The Forsaken Amulet was destroyed. Rowena sacrificed her life to ensure it could never be used again.

Why would the rogues come back for it? What could they possibly want with shattered remnants?

Killian stood beside me, rigid as stone, his golden eyes locked on the warrior. "Are you sure?" he asked, his voice low, taut with restrained fury.

"Yes, Alpha," the warrior said, bowing his head. "We inspected the area as you instructed, to see if the rogues left anything behind clues, weapons, anything. But instead, we found the fragments... gone."

Gone. The word echoed in my mind, a drumbeat of confusion. I tried to piece together the rogue king's motives, but nothing made sense.

Broken shards of the amulet couldn't possibly hold the same power as the whole artifact or could they?
