Nova’s POV

My hands curled into tight fists at my sides, anger boiling inside me. How could Michael assume I hadn’t fought for Drystan?

How could he stand there and accuse me of running away when he had no clue what I had been through?

“You don’t understand, Michael,” I snapped, my voice trembling with a mix of frustration and grief. “I did confess my feelings to him. I put my heart on the line, and you know what happened? He rejected me,” my voice wavered.

“Don’t you realize how humiliating that was? To bear my soul, only to be turned away?” I saw guilt flicker across his face as my words hit home.

“Drystan made it painfully clear that I’d never be more than a friend. And now, you’re standing here, telling me to go through that again? To relive that pain? Why? So I can watch him choose Astrid over me again?”

I saw a change in Michael’s expression—a hint of regret, maybe, but he didn’t back down. “That was three years ago, Nova. People change. What if Drystan feels differently now?”

  • Reclaiming My Broken Luna   Chapter 284: Heartbreak

    Drystan’s POVA storm broke loose inside me the moment I turned away from Astrid. My feet moved without thought, each step heavier than the last, and I didn’t care where I was going — I just needed to leave. To get away from the weight of her words, her rejection. The sound of my boots pounding against the earth drowned out the distant voices behind me, but it wasn’t enough to quiet the roar in my chest.I passed through the pack’s courtyard in a blur, the cold night air biting against my skin, but I barely noticed. I only had one thing in mind — distance. I needed to get away from everything."Drystan!" Damien’s voice cut through the air, sharp with confusion. I had no choice but to walk past through them to leave the Pack. "What the hell is going on?” He asked out loud, sensing the tension gripping my entire body. I ignored him. My jaw clenched so tightly I could feel the muscles strain. I heard their footsteps quicken, coming up behind me. Damien, Killian, and a few others st

    Drystan’s POVI slammed the brakes, the tires screeching as the car jolted to a violent stop in the middle of the empty road. The sudden silence felt deafening, as though the world had paused just to witness my breakdown. My hands gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white, but this time it wasn’t the rage that fueled me. It wasn’t the blinding, red-hot anger that had consumed me minutes ago. It was something far heavier, something I couldn’t escape from — guilt.My hands shook, trembling uncontrollably, but not because I was furious. The fire that had raged within me had burned out, leaving only ashes of regret. I had been so obsessed with my own pain, my own selfish desire, that I’d failed to see the damage I was leaving in my wake. I had been blind — willfully blind — to the hurt I was causing.I let out a long, shaky breath, my chest tight as I leaned back into the seat. My head fell against the headrest, and for a moment, I closed my eyes, wishing I could shut out the crushi

    Nova’s POV“Turn it around,” I suddenly spoke, breaking the suffocating silence inside the car. Every second that passed felt heavier, pressing down on my chest like a weight I couldn’t shake, and in the end, I wasn’t able to bear it. Each mile we drove, the pack faded into the distance, but instead of the relief I thought I’d feel, something else took its place. An ache, deep and relentless, that refused to go away. This only proved Drystan’s words right. Running away will never help me acieve what I want — I would never be free. I will always be stuck with my emotions and my feelings if I just kept on ignoring them instead of facing them. This isn’t just about Drystan. It wasn’t about holding onto some desperate hope that things could be different. No, I had already let that go — at least, that’s what I told myself. So why did it still feel like a part of me was being left behind? I need to figure that out first. “W-What?” Michael glanced at me in surprise, not sure if he hea

    Nova’s POVI froze when I saw Drystan rushing out of the packhouse, his surprise shifting from surprise to something I couldn’t quite place. I swallowed hard, staying rooted on the spot, fighting the urge to turn around and run away again as he ran towards me, closing the distance between us. “Drystan, what are you doing here?” My voice faltered, the words I had planned to say slipping through my fingers like water. I thought he would still be at the Silvermoon Pack, wrapped in Astrid’s arms, far from here. I thought I completely lost him to her. Instead, he is right in front of me, moving closer with every second, like he was afraid I might disappear again. Before I could take a step back, before I could even think, Drystan closed the distance between us and pulled me into his arms, holding me so tightly that I almost couldn’t breathe. His embrace caught me off guard. This wasn’t the cold, distant Drystan I had expected. It wasn’t the reaction I’d imagined during all those lon

    Nova’s POV“You don’t mean that,” I said, my voice trembling. “You’ve never seen me that way before. You’ve always seen me as just... as just—”“As just a friend?” he interrupted, his voice pained. “I know. I made you feel like you didn’t matter, like you were nothing more than a second thought. And I’m so, so sorry for that, Nova. I should have seen it sooner. Astrid showed me how foolish I’ve been, how I’ve been chasing something that was never meant for me, while ignoring the one person who has always been there, right beside me.”He took a step closer, reaching out to gently cup my face, his thumb brushing away a tear that had slipped free. “You’re the woman I should have been fighting for, Nova. The one I should have cherished all this time. I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I need you to know that I see it now. I see you. And I’m so sorry for all the ways I’ve hurt you.”His words pierced through the pain I had carried for so long, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions insid

    Killian’s POVI entered the dungeon, the air thick with the scent of fear and sweat. The torches on the walls flickered, casting shadows that danced over the bruised faces of the Pack Doctor and the nurses. They sat huddled on the cold, stone floor, their wrists bound behind their backs. I could see the terror in their eyes as they struggled to lift their heads and meet my gaze. It was clear that Ryder had already gotten to them — purple bruises bloomed on their faces, and one of the nurses had a split lip.As I approached, their pleas filled the room, a desperate chorus that grated against my ears. “Alpha, please, we’ve been wronged!” the Pack Doctor stammered, his voice shaking as he leaned forward despite his restraints. “This is all a mistake! We’ve been loyal to you, to the pack! We beg you to hear us out and give us justice. We’re innocent!”The others echoed his words, nodding furiously, their eyes wide with desperation. One of the nurses, her voice shrill, added, “We would

    Killian’s POVI watched the words sink in, the terror twisting their faces even further. They exchanged frantic glances, looking for some sort of reassurance from each other, but none came. The reality of their situation had finally caught up to them, and it was clear they knew I wasn’t bluffing.One of the nurses broke first, her voice cracking as she shook her head. “Alpha, please! We didn’t do anything wrong! Ryker is truly—”I snapped my fingers, cutting her off sharply. Ryder, who had been standing silently by the door, stepped forward. Without hesitation, he grabbed the heated brand from the brazier, bringing it close to the nurse’s face. The heat radiated off the metal, the glow reflecting in her wide, terrified eyes. She flinched back, her voice rising into a desperate wail as she realized just how dire her situation had become.“Please, please! Don’t hurt us!” she sobbed, shrinking away from the brand, the words spilling out of her as she clung to the hope that I might c

    The nurses beside him kept their heads bowed, silent tears streaking their faces, their fear like a palpable force in the room. They offered no words, no excuses, just the raw terror of those who knew their lives hung by a thread.I could barely hold back the fury that threatened to erupt. Every word he spoke only twisted the knife deeper, the realization of how deep the betrayal went, how many lies had been spun around me. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to keep a grip on my control. The truth wasn’t complete yet, but I had a new, more dangerous puzzle to unravel.A stranger, a missing child, a woman who had played me for a fool for years. My mind raced with questions, but one thing remained clear: Giselle had gone too far, and now, I would find out exactly how deep her treachery ran.I took a step back, my voice turning cold, final. “You’ve told me just enough to save your miserable lives for now. But if I find out that you’re still hiding something, I’ll make sure you suffer

    Asha’s POVThe chaos outside the Packhouse was deafening, the shouts of warriors mixing with the blaring alarms. My heart pounded in my chest as I rushed to find my father. Three warriors trailed closely behind me, their presence both reassuring and a reminder of how grave the situation was.When I found him in the main hall, his expression was a mix of concern and focus. The weight of leadership never left his shoulders, even now, as danger closed in on us.“Father,” I called, my voice firm but urgent. “The rogues have breached the borders. Andros sent me to evacuate you. We have to leave now.”His brows furrowed deeply, his gaze shifting toward the window where the faint glow of fires could be seen in the distance. “How could this be? How could they get past the security measures so fast? We have the most advanced technology. How could the rogues enter our perimeters just like that?” My father echoed the same questions that I had, but there was no time to think. “The rogues woul

    Astrid’s POVThe moon hung high in the sky, its cold light spilling into the quiet room. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the open suitcase before me. My hands shook as I carefully folded my clothes, my mind a tangled mess of emotions I couldn’t untangle.I was my father’s legitimate daughter.The truth had unraveled everything I thought I knew about myself. For years, I’d believed I was nothing — a mistake, a stain on his perfect image. I’d told myself I didn’t belong, that I would never be worthy and that I was just a trouble to their perfect family. And now, knowing it was all a lie… it left me hollow.He’d hidden the truth from me. From all of us. I wasn’t sure what hurt more— the truth itself, or the years of deception.I clenched a shirt in my fists, my breath trembling as I fought to steady it. This doesn’t change anything. I couldn’t let it. He might have been my father by blood, but he had never been a father to me. That bond had been broken long before I even kn

    Asha’s POVThe soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots was the only sound as I walked through the forest path.My mother’s grave is far from the Packhouse. She is buried in a secluded area, giving her peace. The cool air carried a solemn stillness that matched my mood. Visiting her grave was my sanctuary, a place where I could let my guard down and remember the woman who raised me.That’s when I saw him — Andros, my older brother, standing at the edge of the woods. The shadows from the trees seemed to engulf him, and his posture was rigid, alert. Was he here to visit Mother too? I wondered. My heart swelled at the thought. It wasn’t often that Andros and I shared these quiet moments. As the crowned Alpha he has too many responsibilities placed on his shoulder. He was always busy. I opened my mouth to call out to him but stopped short when another figure emerged from the shadows. My brows furrowed. The man wore a black hoodie that concealed most of his face, and his movements wer

    Asha’s POVI staggered back, shaking my head in disbelief. “That’s not true. That can’t be true,” I mumbled as if I was just trying to convince myself.“I was left with no choice, Asha. Your mother—Luna Jamaica—was my brother’s mate. He was the rightful Alpha. But when he died, the Pack needed a leader. And I… I was the only option. I was forced to marry her to maintain stability. To keep this Pack from falling apart.”My father’s eyes turned red as he tried his best to hold back his tears. My heart wrenched as I feel for his pain. This is the first time I ever saw my father look so vulnerable. “I gave up everything. My mate. My happiness. My future. I gave it all away for this Pack, for a life I never wanted. And every day since, I have lived with that choice. With the weight of betraying my mate, of turning my back on the only woman I ever loved.”I stared at him, my body trembling as the truth settled over me like a suffocating blanket. Everything I had believed, everything I

    Asha’s POVI squared my shoulders as I faced my father, my eyes narrowing at him in anger. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, the weight of years of frustration and jealousy boiling to the surface. My father simply stood before me, his usual composed demeanor tinged with a rare expression of exasperation, but I didn’t care. Not anymore“She doesn’t even call you Father!” I spat, my voice trembling with anger. “Not once in her life has Astrid ever acknowledged you as her father. And yet, you treat her like she’s some prized treasure. Why, Father? Because you feel guilty for neglecting her? She’s just your illegitimate child! It’s best that she realize she’s not special!” I blurted out angrily.Alpha Theron’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak. That silence — his silence — was what always drove me mad. He would never defend himself, never justify his actions, as if I were the one being unreasonable. But I wasn’t.“She’s ungrateful!” I continued, pacing back and forth as my em

    Astrid’s POVThe silence after the call ended was heavier than the words I hadn’t spoken.I remained frozen, clutching the phone as though its weight could tether me to the choices I had made. Each unspoken truth tightened like a vice around my chest, each lie stealing the air I so desperately needed.I wanted nothing more than to turn back, to run to Ryker and finally tell him who I really was. But how could I? How could I be so selfish, so reckless? I knew the truth about my condition — how dangerous and uncertain everything is. How could I let him get close to me, knowing how it will all end?The thought of Ryker loving me, only to lose me, was unbearable. I couldn’t let him go through that pain, the kind of pain that had already hollowed me out. I knew it too well — the ache of losing someone you’d give anything to keep. The searing, unrelenting agony of losing my husband, the devastation of outliving my child. I wouldn’t wish that torment on anyone, least of all Ryker.A shiv

    Killian’s POVIt had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn’t asked a single question about her mother. At first, I was afraid of what he’d say, dreading the moment he’d look me in the eye and ask, Where’s my mother? I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him. How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she’s dead. In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother — she’d raised him, after all, and he’d known her as nothing else.I know it would be difficult for him to accept and process the whole truth, and I was trying my best to avoid the confrontation from him. But now… I’m no longer just worried about Ryker’s difficult questions now I wasn’t just avoiding the question. I am now worried wondering why he still haven’t asked me any question. In the days that had passed, he hadn’t asked even once. Not a word about Giselle. No concern, no curiosity. Just silence. And

    Alpha Theron’s POVAndros scoffed, his disbelief clear as he tilted his head back. “You are choosing Astrid over me?” he spat out. “You’re going to make her the crowned Luna of this Pack? It’s only been three years since you met her, and you think she’s worthy of this title? What do you think Asha would say? Astrid isn’t even your legitimate child!”I met his gaze, my own expression resolute. “Astrid has proven herself capable. She’s been our acting Beta for three years and led as the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack for five years before that. She has the qualities, the skills, and the strength needed to lead. In terms of ability, Andros, she does her job far better than you.”Andros’s fists clenched, his expression darkening with insult and rage. “This is madness! The Pack won’t accept it! My mother is your true mate and the Luna of this Pack. Giving your position to someone who isn’t her child is an insult to her legacy and to this Pack!”I took a step forward, my voice unwavering.

    Alpha Theron’s POVA long silence settled over the room after I asked the question, heavy and tense. I kept my gaze fixed on Andros, waiting, hoping for a sign of remorse or an explanation. But what I saw instead shook me to my core. Andros looked back at me, and in that gaze, I saw a stranger. The gentle son I thought I knew was gone, and in his place stood a man cold and unyielding.Then he spoke, his voice sharper and louder than I had ever heard it, filled with a defiance that sent a chill through me. “You want to know why I did it?” he snapped, his tone a mix of anger and something darker. “I did it for us, for this pack. I was doing you a favor by doing what you could never bring yourself to do.”His words stunned me. Andros had never raised his voice to me, not once in all the years I’d known him. Even when I was harsh or demanding — as I always was, he had always accepted it in silence, never challenging me. But now, he stood before me, speaking without restraint, and I
