Reclaiming My Broken Luna

Chapter 24: Strange Incident

Astrid’s POV

I raised my arms and watched how the moonlight reflected on my skin. I don’t understand what is happening. This has never happened to me before.

I took a step back with my heart racing inside my chest. Fear gripped me for I didn’t know if I was in danger or not.

The moon shone brighter and it looked larger than usual. The crowd was so amazed their mouths were open in awe as they marveled at the moon’s sight.

As werewolves, they are attracted to the moon’s sight. They were completely unaware that I was already panicking behind them.

My whole body trembled in fear as my body absorbed the moon’s light. The light of the moon that was shining so brightly above us slowly narrowed down to my body as if I were absorbing it.

“Huh? What’s happening?” Whispers grew from the crowd as everyone turned confused when the moon’s light slowly faded away into one area.

Thankfully, their eyes remained on the moon in front of them. No one had thought of looking behind them yet.

I was about to turn around to run away from this place before someone could discover what was happening when something heavy crushed my body.

I don’t know what it was, but my knees wobbled at the sudden heaviness that crashed into my body. Still, I managed to remain standing.

My vision turned blurry and my head felt like it was being stretched by something. I think the moonlight is causing me to get sick. It’s altering something inside of me and I just wanted it all to stop.

“Huh?” I think the moonlight is moving in one direction,” someone in the crowd finally figured out.

Being pushed to the edge of my senses, I couldn’t do anything. Everyone is going to find out what’s happening to me now.

Unless I found out what this was, I couldn’t let them see me. What if this is a curse and they force me to leave their pack for this?

I need to leave.

“Astrid?” Although the voice sounded so stretched in my ears, I still recognized Drystan’s voice. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are you?” Drystan asked as he looked among the crowd when he didn’t see me at the spot where I was.

Drystan’s voice attracted the crowd’s attention. Just a minute now, Drystan is going to look behind him, the last spot that he hasn’t yet checked and the crowd will turn around because of his voice.

By then, everything would be over for me. Everyone will be afraid of me because of this incident that I couldn’t understand.

It’s over… I thought it was going to be over until someone suddenly arrived at the rescue and covered my body with a blanket.

“I think Astrid is not feeling well,” Nova spoke up as she hugged me with the blanket. It turns out, it was Nova who helped me.

After my body got disconnected from the moon’s aura, I started to feel better again. My vision slowly turned to normal and I finally regained back all my strength again.

Drystan didn’t answer for a moment. “You should take her to her room,” he finally answered. “I’ll end the party from here.”

Nova didn’t have to be told twice, with her arms wrapped around me, she helped me escape from the crowd.

“Thank you for saving me out there, Nova,” I enveloped Nova in a tight hug as soon as we were safe in my room.

“What happened to you?” Nova looked so worried as she pushed me off her to take a good look at me. “Y-You were—” Nova stammered, not knowing how to explain.

“Thank you for covering up for me. I do not know what was happening to me either,” I replied, not letting her continue her sentence

Nova looked at me with her brows bent downwards. What happened earlier was so dangerous. If someone had seen it, it would have been easily misunderstood.

I’m glad that Nova saw it first and that she was able to think fast to save me.

“This never happened to me before,” I muttered. “I think it has something to do with the complications of my wolf.”

“Are you alright now?” Nova asked me as I sat on the edge of my bed.

“After you covered me with the blanket, I started to feel all right. I think the moon is altering something in my body,” I answered her.

Nova looked clueless as she sat beside me. She just knew we were so close earlier.

I bit my lower lip. I still haven’t recovered from the anxiety that the incident earlier had caused me.

“Don’t worry,” Nova suddenly reached for my hand, she must have noticed my uneasiness. “We are going to find out what is happening and we will find a cure for your wolf,” she assured me with a smile.

I averted my gaze from her. I know she’s just being nice, but how are we supposed to get such a rare cure in the Shadowfang Pack?

Actually, I’m not even thinking about that anymore. As long as I give birth to a healthy child. It doesn’t matter to me if I recover or not.

I know that Nova and Drystan will take care of my child if I die. There is nothing else I wish in this world except a good life for my unborn child.
