Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 184

Astrid’s POV

I stared into the mirror, feeling exhausted and sleepy, yet the makeup perfectly covered the weariness etched into my face.

The bags under my eyes caused by the stress of being an acting Beta was gone, covered by whatever cosmetic they used on me.

It’s like they worked magic on me. I looked fresh and beautiful, like I wasn’t from a long day of duty.

I smoothed my hands over the soft, velvety fabric of my dress, which was sent to me by Alpha Theron just yesterday. He told me to wear this dress for today’s special banquet.

I wanted to deny the invitation, and I think he knew that which is why he sent me this dress along with the invitation, so it would be hard for me to say no.

The dress looked so good on me, though. The deep burgundy hue accentuated my graceful figure. It’s evident that it was custom-tailored just for me.

I have no idea what the banquet is for. I heard nobody is invited, just Alpha Theron and then my half-siblings. The banquet is solely for the family.

Perhaps the banquet is for Andros, who has just recently returned to the Pack. That’s the only reason I could think of for Alpha Theron to hold a special banquet just for us.

The banquet was so special that I had to wear such a beautiful dress on this occasion.

“Beta,” the Pack Warrior standing guard at the banquet hall bowed his head to me as I approached.

With a slight nod of my head, I acknowledged his greeting, and then he swung the towering wooden doors open, revealing the special banquet inside.

My eyes couldn’t help but look around as I took in the grandeur of the place. Alpha Theron is sitting at the head of the lavishly appointed table, flanked by his daughter, Asha and his esteemed son, Andros.

Everyone is already inside except for me. I arrived terribly late because I got held off from my duty, and I didn’t expect it would take me so long to get ready.

I thought simple makeup would do, but I had to look fashionable for today’s simple yet special event.

Everyone’s eyes were trained on me as I entered. With my chin lifted high and my hands clutched together in front of me, I walked in confidently and took in their reactions.
