Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 108

Astrid’s POV

I bit my lower lip as I tried to pull my arm away from Asha’s iron-tight grasp. Her slender fingers were like bands of steel as she held me down, her eyes fixated with laser-like intensity on the dark silver bracelet that adorned my wrist.

Each time I tried to pull my hand out, she would tighten her grip around my wrist, burying her nails into my skin until my arm had turned red because of the lack of blood.

“I asked you a question!” Asha yelled at me. “Where did you get this?!”

I flinched at her fury. I do not understand why my bracelet made her angry.

“Asha, let her go! You are hurting her,” Nova demanded, unable to lay a finger on the daughter of the Shadowfang Pack’s Alpha.

If only she had not been someone we could not afford to offend, Nova would have hurled her away from me to protect me.

“I-It was a gift,” I answered her as I winced in pain.

Suddenly, Asha twisted my arm, making me yell out loud. She held my arm in an unnatural position. She held it at a perfect angle at the edge of breaking my arm.

“Asha! Let her go!” Nova yelled as she stepped forward to intervene.

However, Asha pushed her back by baring her canines and giving Nova a murderous glare with her glowing golden eyes.

Nova’s wolf tucked her tail between her hind legs and pressed her ears down when Asha showed her wolf to the surface.

Nova instinctively stepped backward. Asha’s power was too much. We are nothing compared to the daughter of the Shadowfang Pack’s Alpha.

“Liar!” Asha shouted as she turned her attention back to me. “How dare you lie to me. Did you really think that I would buy your lies?” Asha hissed at me, her brows furrowing as she scrutinized the bracelet even more closely.

“This bracelet is my family’s heirloom. We lost it years ago. So how did it end up with you?” Asha questioned me again.

I took in sharp breaths as I felt a heavy pressure forming in my shoulder. “I didn’t lie to you. I wouldn’t dare to!” I shot back. “Look at it closely. Maybe you were mistaken. I had this bracelet since I was little.”

“This bracelet is made of Luminite. It even has our family’s symbol on it. How could I be mistaken? How could a mere omega even afford to own a Luminite bracelet?”

“I’m just telling you what I know. It’s true that my grandmother gave me this as a gift when I was little. Other than that, I know nothing else!” I reasoned out, hoping that she would believe I was innocent.

Seeing that I was telling the truth, Asha finally dropped my arm.
