Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 48

Astrid’s POV

A deep breath passed through my lips as a sense of calm washed over me when Nova arrived just in time to rescue me.

Nova ran towards me with a panicked look in her eyes. She lifted me up by my arms, slowly helping me to get my feet on the ground.

Killian forced himself off the ground, his lips slightly stretching downwards as he winced in pain.

“What happened?” Nova asked me in worry.

I was hyperventilating, so I failed to answer her. I just kept clutching my heart, the place where all the pain was coming from.

Nova’s eyes widened when the realization hit her. “H-He,” Nova paused, unable to complete her sentence.

Anger flashed in her eyes, knowing that what Killian just did was enough to kill me. With my weak wolf and the life inside of me, I’m not strong enough to handle the rejection.

“Astrid!” Drystan suddenly appeared and ran towards me when he saw my state.

He immediately carried my weight to help Nova, who had been struggling to keep me up.

Still, I couldn’t speak. My lips quivered, and tears streamed down my face as my weak wolf whimpered and curled in pain.

She’s not able to handle most of the pain on her own, making me feel most of it.

Drystan’s features hardened, and the soft lines around his eyes and mouth tightened when he saw me getting tortured

“Quick! Bring her to the hospital and call all the Pack Doctors to check on her,” Drystan commanded Nova with a blank voice.

Nova quickly nodded her head and placed my arm around her shoulder to help lift me up.

“Astrid, we’re not done yet!” Killian yelled out loud when he saw Nova taking me away from him.

Drystan strode towards Killian without saying a word and punched him in the face. Blood spurted out of his split lip, but Drystan didn’t stop there. He lifted Killian by his collar and tightened his fists.

I stopped Nova from taking me away when I saw what Drystan did. I wanted to yell at him to stop, but I didn’t have enough strength to do so.

“Don’t go anywhere near Astrid. Do you understand?! This is the last time that you’re going to hurt her, or else I swear I’m going to kill you!” Drystan yelled in his face.

Killian stared into Drystan’s hard gaze like an asshole unbothered by his words.

“Why are you getting yourself involved in this, huh? You ruined everything! If you hadn’t faked Astrid’s death, I would have fixed our relationship. Now step out of the way and let me talk to Astrid!” Killian commanded.

Drystan lost control of himself when he heard his absurd words; he punched him again in the face, giving him a black eye. “You want to get yourself killed?!”
