Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 102

Killian’s POV

My journey to the Nightsong Pack was arduous and relentless, but my weary self pressed on without rest until I reached my destination.

What should have been a leisurely 8-hour drive through the rolling hills and winding roads became a punishing 5-hour slog, as I gave up the usual road breaks in the journey and pushed myself to the limits.

I yawned as I pressed on the gas pedal and drove through the empty road. It’s already twelve midnight. I should now be sleeping, resting after everything that had happened in the Pack earlier.

My body felt so exhausted. This morning, I had to wake up earlier than usual because of the event, and then I had to run for miles as I anxiously searched for Astrid.

After that, I went directly to the hospital, and when I found out that Drystan and Astrid had left the hospital, I instantly pursued them.

I haven’t slept a wink since this morning.

And now this — speeding down an empty road with only the soft rumble of the car humming as if lulling me to sleep.

Since I was in a hurry, I didn’t bother to bring anyone with me and drove the car myself.

I know it’s dangerous driving alone in the middle of the night, especially since rogues usually prey on wolves at night, but I’m more worried about Astrid than I am about putting myself in danger.

I couldn’t push this journey for tomorrow, so I rested in my room. I know that even if I lay on my soft bed back at home, I will never fall asleep even though my body feels severely exhausted. I would only lie there with my eyes open as I thought of Astrid.

With a deep breath, I slowed down the car when I reached a rocky dirt path. Since Packs are located in the forests and places where no humans can find them, it’s easy to get lost without a straight concrete path that leads directly to a Pack, but since I’ve been here before, I know the way, like the back of my hand.

Once you reach a dirt path, that’s the sign that you are reaching your destination.

I stopped the car and rolled down the window when I reached the borders of the Nightsong Pack.

The Pack Warriors that were standing on guard approached my vehicle with stern expressions on their face, but when they saw my familiar face, their eyes widened in recognition.

“A-Alpha Killian,” they stuttered as they looked at me as if they had seen a ghost.

They must not have expected that I would come here in the middle of the night.

“I’m here to visit my uncle,” I spoke, ready to move my vehicle again.

“I’m afraid you are not welcome here, Alpha Killian. By order of Alpha Drystan, you have been blacklisted from entering the Nightsong Pack,” The Pack guard simply informed me without offending me.

I turned my head to the front when the Pack guard’s words echoed in the crisp night air. The Pack guard didn’t have to explain. He is hinting that I already know this, so I shouldn’t have come here.

I sighed. “I won’t take too long. Your Alpha and I just met and talked with each other earlier. If you tell him that I’m here, he will surely allow you to let me in,” I answered him.
