Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 192

Nova’s POV

My earbuds pulsed with the rhythm of my steps as I jogged to my apartment, lost in my own thoughts.

Ever since I left the Pack, it became dangerous for me to shift to my wolf anytime I want. Having morning jogs everyday, helped in controlling and calming my wolf better.

As I reached for my keys, I saw Mrs. Perkins out of the corner of my eye looking at me with that wrinkled smile on her face.

Mrs. Perkins is my landlord and she’s so nice and sweet.

“Nova, dear, you have a letter,” she called out after me, showing a crisp white envelope.

I paused, tugging out my earbuds. “A letter? For me?” I asked in surprise. In the three years that I left the Pack, I have never received a single letter from anyone other than the bills and the occasional catalog.

“Yes, just arrived this morning, but you were out for your jog,” Mrs. Perkins answered with a warm smile. “I thought I’d catch you before you go inside.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Perkins,” I replied, accepting the envelope.

I studied the familiar handwriting on the front, my heart suddenly racing. “It’s from Astrid!” I beamed happily.

“Astrid? Well, isn’t that lovely?” Mrs. Perkins spoke, matching my excitement. “I’ll let you get to it then. Have a wonderful rest of your day, dear.”

“You too, thank you!” I called after her as I hurried inside my apartment.

Once I was safely inside, I tore open the envelope, a grin spreading across my face as I unfolded the letter. I never thought Astrid would ever write back to me.

On the day I left, things were bad between us. I never stopped writing her letters, hoping that it would ease her anger. However, it still took her three years to write back to me.

Dear Nova,

How have you been, my dear friend? I hope everything is well with you and still having fun as always. I’m always glad when I receive letters from you. Seeing the pictures that you sent and hearing good news from you, always bring a smile to my face. I enjoy reading your letters too much.

I apologize that I never responded to your letter — it’s not because I was upset with you, but I’ve been so incredibly busy in the Pack. I’ll tell you everything when you come back. Life is so difficult here. Sometimes, I wish I could leave everything behind and follow after you.

Let me guess, you still haven’t found your mate, have you? If you have, I’m sure you would have told me all about it. You should be looking for your mate, but you are treating this like a special vacation. If you focused on finding your mate, than exploring the world it wouldn’t have took you a year to find your mate.

I already miss you, Nova. I never thought it would take you three years and until now you still haven’t found what you are looking for.
