Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 46

Astrid’s POV

I gazed at myself in the mirror, wearing an elegant sleeveless white dress that fitted my body like a glove, showing my curves in the right places.

A smile crept up my lips, like the person that I could see in the mirror. Even though I’m pregnant and my baby bump is showing already, I’m still able to maintain my fit body from before.

“You look too beautiful for a pregnant woman.”

I turned on my heel when someone spoke behind me. I smiled shyly when I saw Nova standing on my doorstep, staring at me. I felt embarrassed getting caught ogling myself.

“You look stunning, too,” I complimented her in her sparkling green dress that reminded me of Ariel’s tail.

With her strawberry blonde hair, she looks much like a princess from a fairy tale.

“Are you ready?” Nova asks me as she steps inside my room.

I took another look at myself in the mirror and breathed deeply. The time flew really fast. I couldn’t coop up inside my room any longer. I need to go out and meet the guests.

“Do you think they will recognize me?” I asked Nova as I looked at my face in the mirror, which still looked the same as before.

Nova scoffed at my question. She held me by the shoulders and forced me to look at her.

“Look at you? Who would recognize you?” Nova asked me with her eyebrows raised. “It’s only been a few months, but you have changed greatly. I doubt that anyone would recognize you.” Nova squeezed my shoulders.

I sighed, shaking away all my worries. That’s right. In just a few months of staying at the Nightsong Pack, my appearance changed.

My tan skin, which I developed from staying under the sun for long hours because of Warrior training, had turned lighter because of less sun exposure.

Also, my cheeks had turned fuller, and I looked brighter than before because I now have a better work-life balance, unlike before when I had to work in a toxic environment with unreasonable hours.

Additionally, with my new hair color and haircut, I’m sure no one would look at me and think that I am the Luna Astrid from Silvermoon Pack who worked for long hours and was treated like a servant.

“It’s okay, Astrid. You don’t need to go out there. You can just stay here if you want to,” Nova reminded me once again, but I shook my head, refusing to let my fears get the best of me.

I’m going to go out there and meet them. No matter what, I’m no longer going to be a coward hiding behind the Nightsong Pack and relying on the kindness that Drystan and Nova had shown me.
