Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 262

Nova’s POV

Drystan and I locked eyes for a moment, but then he turned away and left without a second thought. I blinked, almost losing my balance as our connection shattered.

He cared for nothing and no one more than Astrid; it was all too easy for him to abandon me, leaving me in a whirl of worry for her sake.

“Miss Nova, why did you let him go?” The Pack Doctor asked confusion etched on his face as he approached me slowly.

I couldn’t answer him, so I remained silent.

“Alpha Drystan is not in good health. He is in no condition to go on a travel. He needs to stay here so we can monitor his health,” The Pack Doctor argued, disappointment evident in his tone. “I thought you were worried about him.”

I lowered my head, feeling the weight of his words, and remained silent. There’s nothing for me to tell him.

The Pack Doctor sighed upon seeing the conflict on my face.

“Ever since you left, Miss Nova, Astrid has had the Alpha wrapped around her finger. He was there at her beck and call. She’s the reason why the Alpha neglected his health,” The Pack Doctor spoke.

“Doctor,” I finally spoke, stopping him from his words. I gazed directly into his eyes to show how serious I was. “Astrid is the reason why the Shadowfang Pack offered their alliance to us. On top of that, she’s a nice woman, and she’s my friend. She had done so much for our Pack.”

The Doctor’s eyes widened in fear when he saw how I was offended by his words. “Of course, Miss Nova. I also know of those things. Astrid lived with us for some months. I had met her and seen her character. I don’t doubt her kindness, but I just don’t think that she’s good enough for the Alpha.”

“The Alpha likes her. Who are we to dictate who he should like and who he should not?” I retorted, my voice firm.

“I’m just worried about him,” The Pack Doctor answered defensively.

“If you really care about the Alpha, then you should support his happiness,” I snapped back to shut him into silence before walking away to show him that I do not like this conversation anymore.

“But is he happy?” The Pack Doctor questioned, hoping that I would open my eyes and see the problem he was pointing out to me.
