Chapter 19: Nightsong Pack’s Luna

Astrid’s POV

My body is tense as I wonder what’s happening outside, I hope Drystan will be able to convince Killian, and that Killian won’t give him such a hard time.

I wish I could go out and see what’s happening so I wouldn’t have to be left in the dark, anxiously waiting for Drystan’s news.

Being left alone in my room, my mind couldn’t stop thinking about worst–case scenarios.

What if Killian doesn’t believe us? What if he sees through our plans? I just don’t want anything to do with Killian anymore. I want to cut him off my life completely and that could only happen if he thinks that I’m dead.

I jumped in my seat when someone twisted the door open. My heart pounded in my chest thinking that Killian was here. He has found me and he is taking me back to his Pack.

I was so horrified until Nova peeked inside. I shut my eyes tight and clutched my dear heart as I slumped back on my couch.

Nova slowly entered and locked the door behind her. “Astrid, are you okay?” Nova rushed to my side with her brows wrinkled together when she saw my state.

“You frightened me!” I exclaimed. My heart is still racing inside my chest.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you,” Nova bit her lower lip. She really felt bad for causing me distress.

She held her hands together, not knowing how to help me.

I took deep breaths to calm myself. Even though Nova pulled me out of my wits, I can’t be angry at her for not knocking before entering when she’s the official member of this Pack and I’m just staying here with them.

paused when Nova grabbed me a glass of water which I willingly accepted.

“Is there something I could help you with?” I asked her after drinking water and

calming myself down

Nova and I aren’t particularly close, and we also don’t talk much. I wonder why she came here to see me.

When we first met, i could sense that she didn’t like me. When I saw how kind she was, I wanted to get close to her, but didn’t know how to approach her.

Nova pursed her lips together and lowered her head in shame. “I just want to apologize,” she muttered in a soft voice.

I shook my hands in front of me. “No, no, it’s okay,” I smiled at her and also felt bad when I realized how guilty I made her feel just because of the incident earlier. “I’m fine now, no need to sweat it,

The only reason why I was so startled was because I wasn’t expecting Drystan to be back so early. Drystan had just left, so I’m not expecting any news from him just yet.

I mistook Nova for Killian because I was overthinking about him.

“No, no that’s not it,” Nova’s eyes widened when I mistook her words. “I want to apologize for being rude to you.”

The whole room turned silent when I heard her words, leaving me speechless. I wonder why she’s apologizing now and why she was rude to me in the first place. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“I should have gotten to know you more before rushing to conclusions,” she added.

Now I’m curious about the conclusions that she’s referring to.

“It’s okay, It was nothing. I never held a grudge.” I smiled at her.

Nova is such a genuine and kind person. She didn’t have to apologize for such simple things, but she did. I’ve never seen someone as kind as her, she continues to amaze me.

“Come, sit there with me.” I smiled at her and pointed at the couch in front of

“I heard Killian just arrived and Drystan went to meet him. I came to visit you to

keep you company also,” Nova explained

“I’m glad that you came, I really need someone who can keep my mind off things,” I replied.

“Nova, is it okay if I ask you a question?” asked her after a long pause.

Ever since I met Nova, I’ve been so curious about her. She’s so close to Drystan that she calls him by his name. Now that we are close, I could finally ask her the question that has been bugging me.

“Just ask away,” Nova encouraged me.

“Can I ask about your relationship with Drystan?” I asked her cautiously. As soon as the question left my lips, I realized how early it was for me to ask.

Thankfully, Nova did not take it in a bad way. “Oh, Drystan is my older sister’s mate,” she answered straightforwardly.

My jaw fell open, not expecting such an answer.

It’s been so long since Drystan’s mate died. I never even had the chance to meet her. According to the rumors though, she was a kind person and I wish that I met her. I had always been curious about her.

I never knew that Drystan’s mate had a younger sister and I’m so happy that I got to know her.

“Ever since my sister died, Drystan took care of me like I was his own sibling. He took it as his duty to be an older sibling to me on behalf of my sister,” Nova explained with a sad smile, making my heart ache for the both of them.
