Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon
Chapter 427
Chapter 427: Weight of Failure
Astrid's POV
The hour was unnervingly still-the kind of stillness that didn't promise peace but
danger.
Even the crickets had silenced their symphony, leaving the world suspended in an uneasy pause.
Fresh guards had taken their positions outside Elara and Ryker's room, their heavy boots scuffing the floor before settling into still vigilance.
Inside, I sat unmoving, my nails absently scraping patterns into the worn armrest of the chair.
Every creak of the house, every gust of wind, felt like a warning. My wolf stirred, pacing just beneath the surface, uneasy.
Killian had checked on me earlier. He'd lingered in the doorway, his golden eyes searching mine, his mouth pressed into a grim line.
He didn't speak, didn't push me to leave. He didn't need to. He knew I wouldn't.
I wasn't leaving my children tonight.
The breeze through the open window caught the flame of a candle, snuffing it out in a final flicker.
Shadows stretched long across the room. I stood, my movements deliberate and quiet, and crossed to the window. The cold night air carried with it the faint scent of pine and something else-
something sharper.
I reached for the latch, and that's when it hit me.
A ripple of awareness prickled down my spine.
Something was wrong.
My wolf stilled, ears metaphorically pricking, senses sharpening.
The hallway torches sputtered once, their flames bending unnaturally-and then extinguished as if the darkness itself had swallowed them.
I tensed. My hand dropped instinctively to the dagger at my waist.
A faint noise-the crack of glass breaking-pierced the quiet. The acrid sting of
wolfsbane hit me next, sharp and unmistakable.
It filled the air like a poison cloud, heavy and suffocating.
