Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 26

Astrid’s POV

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard Drystan’s voice from behind us.

Drystan always appears in the most unexpected times. It’s pure luck that he still had no idea about my sickness until now.

“What are you doing here?” I asked Drystan as I clutched my beating heart.

“I just came to check,” Drystan answered. “Are you okay now? How are you feeling?” He asked me.

I sighed. “I’m okay, I just get tired easily because of my pregnancy,” I lied using a smooth excuse.

Drystan softly nodded his head. “You should rest more since you’re pregnant. Always tell us when you need anything,” Drystan tells me.

“Is the party over already?” Nova asked Drystan.

“Yes, I told everyone to go home already after we saw the moon,” Drystan replied.

“Thank you, Drystan,” I paused. “For the party.” I don’t know how to thank him enough.

Even though the party was too much, I knew I needed it and Drystan must have seen that also.

I’ve been feeling so troubled lately. Even though Killian bought our lies and I’m officially out of his life, I’m still thinking a lot about him lately and non-existent worries still bother me.

Every time that I was alone I couldn’t stop myself from thinking of him as much as I hated to admit it.

The surprise party that he held for me was a great distraction. It helped me ease all of my worries and it was a perfect reminder to show me that I don’t have to fear anything anymore.

“You’re safe with us, Astrid. Me, Nova, and the Pack will always protect you and provide for you. You do not have to worry about anything,” Drystan reminded me.

I smiled at his words. I know that, but it was always easy to forget that.

My heart ached a little when I remembered one person who cared about me just like Drystan and Nova.

I opened the small drawer on my nightstand and pulled out the bracelet that my grandmother had given me as a gift. This bracelet is the only memory that I have of her.

I wish my grandmother was still alive. She would be happy to see me having new friends. She would have loved Nova too just like the others and she would be so happy to see me find a new place where I feel that I belong.

More particularly, I wish she had her chance to meet her great-grandchild. I was supposed to tell her that I was pregnant before she died, but because of Killian, I wasn’t able to share that great news with her before she left.

“Where did you get that bracelet?” Drystan asked me with a surprised look on his face.

I smiled as I looked at the bracelet. “My grandmother gave it to me as a gift when I was little,” I answered him.

Drystan is silent for a moment. He couldn’t take his eyes off the bracelet.
