Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Fall from Power

Astrid's POV

My mind went blank as I wandered mindlessly, not knowing where my feet were taking me.

Now that I have divorced Killian and now that I got the freedom that I wanted, what now? How long will I be able to survive as a rogue when I'm pregnant?

A bitter smile rose to my lips as I lifted my face to the sky, thinking that if I tilted my head up my tears would stop from falling.

Instead, my tears blurred my vision even more when I saw the dark heavy clouds above me who were just like me, keeping in tears instead of letting it all fall out.

A soft cry escaped my lips as I continued walking. I'm pregnant and I had nowhere to go or no one to help me. It's going to rain soon and I don't even have a safe shelter where I could stay at.

"There is a small pack nearby, maybe we can stay there. You need to walk fast before the rain catches us." Ingrid, my wolf, spoke inside my head.

Since I'm pregnant, it's dangerous for the baby if I shift into my wolf. I really had no choice but to walk on foot.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I yelped when a car passed by and splashed me with mud. I stopped as I felt the muddy dirt seep through my clothes.

As if this day isn't already bad enough.

I lifted my head up when the car windows rolled down and I heard someone laugh. I froze when I saw Giselle inside sitting on the driver's seat.

"A dirt always goes back to dirt," she ridiculed. "That's what you get for forcing Killian to marry you."

I gritted my teeth as I glared at her while shaking off some of the dirt that had splashed on me.

Even if Killian likes her, I am still his mate. I can always go back to the Pack and take Killian from her if I want to.

"Did you really come all the way here just to ridicule me? I never thought I was worth such effort and time for you," I sarcastically replied.

She narrowed her eyes at me when she received my unbothered response. It might be worth her time and effort, but it isn't the same for her.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss to see you go down to dust. You are just a rogue now who has nowhere to go. You will be dead soon," she taunted. "This sight of you would be the last good memory of you that I could hold on to.

Giselle drove away with a victorious smile on her face after she said that.

My eyes followed her car until she disappeared from my sight. When she was completely gone, a heavy weight settled on my chest making it hard for me to breathe.

I felt completely alone and lost, especially after hearing her words. Still, I did not allow her words to get into my head.

I continued walking until I reached a small pack on the border, but they refused to let me stay for shelter, even for a single night.

The small pack has an alliance with Killian's Pack. Killian threatened to cut their alliance if they allowed me to stay in their Pack.

The moon had shown itself already, and it was dangerous for me to walk in the middle of the night, but I had to go on.

"You should just go back, Astrid. Don't make things hard for yourself. If you go back now, I can still forgive you." I heard Killian speak through the mind link.

I scoffed when I heard his words.

What an arrogant man! Why should I be forgiven when I did not even do anything wrong? He should be the one apologizing after all the things that he had done to me.

His words only angered me even more so I chose to ignore him.

I already chose this path and there is no turning back. I need to continue forward and be strong for my baby.

Anxiety knotted in my stomach

when the first droplets of rain

dropped to the ground. Soon enough, the rain intensified and I had nothing to cover my head from the pouring rain.

My teeth chattered as I shielded myself from the strong gusts of wind. I continued to walk on the road with the little strength that I had left.

I could not afford to stop until I found a shelter.

I stilled when I sensed rogues with intent to kill started to surround me. Rogues always prey on the weak.

Now, I am weak, pregnant, and alone making me an easier target.

I took a step back when the ferocious rogues started to show themselves. As a warrior, I could have easily fought against them if only I am not pregnant.

Weak and defenseless, I could only watch them in fear.

I raised my arms to defend myself when one of them finally pounced on me.took in a sharp breath when the welf pounced on my chest, forcing all the air to leave my lungs.

There was a sharp pain in my chest as I gasped and fell to the ground. I wheezed on the ground as the rain continued to pour down on me. Before I could recover from my pain, one of the wolves bit my clothes from behind and flung me into a tree. My breath hitched as I fell to the ground. These rogues, are playing with my body before killing me.

I blinked my eyes as my vision turned hazy. My head felt like it was being hammered down after it hit the tree.

I pushed myself awake as I fought for my life. I tried to regain control over my body as I slowly felt life seep out of me.

Just when I was about to fall unconscious, I saw a man from afar coming straight towards us.
