Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)

Drystan's POV

I blinked my eyes open, feeling refreshed as soon as I woke up. My brows furrowed, feeling momentarily disoriented when I saw myself in an unfamiliar room.

'This isn't my bedroom,' I thought to myself as I pushed myself up.

After taking in the bedroom where I slept, I finally remembered that I didn't go home at all. I'm still staying at the Shadowfang Pack as a guest.

Slowly, memories of last night flooded into my mind. I touched my heart, which started beating rapidly again when I remembered how Theron offered me an alliance with his Pack.

I thought I was just dreaming. Then, when I realized that I wasn't, I thought my friend was just playing pranks on me like how we used to when we were just teenagers.

In my mind, there's no way that the Shadowfang Pack would form an alliance with us. The Nightsong Pack is in crisis. We would just be a liability to their Pack.

Besides, in the past decades, Shadowfang Pack has isolated itself from the other Packs. It was like a strict rule of theirs or something to never associate themselves with other Packs.

However, Theron was serious. After he ordered his Beta to make an announcement of this alliance, he presented me with a formal document with only my signature missing to make our alliance official.

"Sign the papers, Drystan. I'm looking forward to a partnership with your Pack," Theron told me with a smile as he handed me both the pen and papers.

"But-"I blurted out, my heart still didn't stop racing within me. "I cannot accept this. The only reason why I contacted you was to know the secret behind the bracelet. I know you are just offering this alliance out of our friendship and your kindness. I couldn't do that," I replied respectfully as I pushed away his hand from me.

Even though Theron was my classmate and friend, I never dreamed of forming an alliance with him just because we used to have a connection with each other.

My whole life, I've never thought about contacting him or bringing up our old friendship just to form an alliance with the most powerful Pack. I do not want to use him as a means of power or to climb up the social ladders.

When I created my Pack, I had pure intentions. I wanted to give rogues a second chance, and I wanted abused omegas to find shelter and comfort in my Packs.

The Nightsong Pack is a safe haven for those who are weak and oppressed. On my own, I created my Pack with a great cause. I did it all without relying on the help of others, and I plan to continue doing that.

With just my strength, I'm going to lead our Pack and raise it without owing anyone or using anyone at that.

If Theron wants to form an alliance with me, that would be because of fair reasons, not because of the connection that we had with each other.

Theron just chuckled at my

response, which surprised me. "I

knew you would say that. That's why

I ordered Beta Alek to make the

announcement first before giving you this paper to sign. This leaves you no choice but to sign it."

"Theron!" I uttered his name with a menace, which made him laugh.

"You are still the same uptight person that I remember," Theron replied.

"And you are still the same quick-witted person that I knew that is filled with all kinds of tricks," I squinted my eyes at him.

Since we were teenagers, he is always the one who comes up with different kinds of tricks. During exams, he always has different genius ways to hide his cheat sheets to pass his exams.

While I was the Teacher's Pet, he was the Troublemaker and the most hated student in the class. Still, he was happy with it. He liked the reputation he had in class.

"And you are still the same person who always falls for it," he grinned as he handed back the pen and papers: "Now sign this paper, or you make another issue for your Pack and embarrass yourself

I sighed as I took the papers from him. I had no choice; the Pack is in the worst possible position already, and if I don't sign this, I'm afraid

Be able to find a way to fix the problems in our Pack once the Shadowfang Pack is involved.

With a sigh, I handed back the signed papers to him, making our alliance official.

A knock on the door interrupted me from my thoughts. I cleared my thoughts after catching myself spacing out for a long time. "Come in!" I called out.

"Drystan? Are you awake?" Nova softly asked as she peeked her head in.

"I am," I answered as I got out of bed. "Do you need anything?" I asked her.

"Nothing," Nova replied as she entered my bedroom. "I just came to check if you're awake. I'm going to visit Astrid. Do you want to come?"

Ah, yes-Astrid.

"Sure, I will," I answered her.

Asha told us yesterday that Astrid is going to wake up today. I felt excited to see her wake up, but at the same time, I also dreaded it. I know she would only feel in pain once she wakes up.
