Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)

Drystan's POV

My attention turned to Theron as I waited for him to answer his daughter's question. I was so desperate for help and to save Astrid's life that I didn't even question the motive behind Theron's kindness.

I was just glad that he was there to help us, without even knowing what this could possibly mean for us.

Why exactly is Theron so willing to help us?

My eyes brimmed with a mixture of anticipation and unease as I waited for his answer. The weight of Asha's question hung in the air, demanding an answer from her father.

Theron, his face blank with any emotions, paused for a moment, the seconds ticking by like the steady beat of a drum.

"Do you even know her, father? I can understand why you are willing to help her because Alpha Drystan is your friend, but why would you use the Pack's sacred treasure for her?" Asha asked again, forcing her father to break his silence. "Are you questioning my decision and my authority, Asha?" Theron asked his daughter coldly, his eyes narrowing into slits as he glared at her.

"I'm your father, but I'm this Pack's Alpha also. You have no right to question my decisions!" Theron yelled at his daughter.

Asha's lips thinned. Her hands clenched to her sides in anger, but she doesn't dare to say a thing.

"You are my daughter, which is why I spoiled you so much. I have become too lenient with you to the point that you've forgotten your place," Theron added, his voice turning softer this time.

"This shouldn't happen again, Asha. You've embarrassed me in front of my guests and in front of our Pack members. You are going to make them think that I wasn't able to discipline my daughter," Theron continued.

Asha lowered her head in defeat. "I'm sorry, father. You know that I would never question your decision and your authority, especially in public. As your daughter and a member of this Pack, I'm just worried about our Pack," Asha spoke with a low voice. Theron sighed after hearing his daughter's apology. "I know what I am doing, Asha. You just have to trust in me. In the future, my decisions will make sense, and I won't have to explain things to you."

How will saving Astrid and using their Pack's sacred treasure ever make sense in the future? What is Theron thinking of right now? Doubt consumed me as I thought of Theron's true motives.

Asha's gaze was still hard, but she remained silent.

"Alpha." Beta Alek finally arrived with two omegas following behind him, carrying something that was covered with a special cloth.

"We have the Lunar Elixir," Beta Alek spoke before taking off the cover to present the Lunar Elixir to us.

My eyes turned wide in awe as I stared at their Pack's sacred treasure.

The Lunar Elixir is a mesmerizing and otherworldly concoction. It appears as a luminescent, silvery-blue liquid that seems to shimmer and dance within its thick glass container as if reflecting the ethereal light of the moon itself. With a transfixed gaze, Theron slowly approached the Lunar Elixir. Reverently, he reached out, his fingertips grazing the surface of the enchanted potion.

Suddenly, he pulled his finger back as if electrocuted by the power thrumming within the Elixir.

With such a powerful elixir, it would surely save both Astrid and her wolf's life.

"This is the first time that the Elixir is brought out of its safe room," Beta Alek spoke. "For centuries, our ancestors kept it safe and hidden in a locked room."

"This is the first time I've ever seen what the Lunar Elixir looked like," Theron whispered as he admired it for the last time before Astrid could consume it all to recover.

Asha stepped forward to take a closer look at the Lunar Elixir. Without asking for any permission, she placed her hands around it and held it up to the light.

Swirling iridescent currents that weren't there before showed up as they reflected the light. The liquid has a captivating depth to it, hinting at mysterious properties and arcane powers contained within.

"Such a powerful medicine, only to save the life of an omega," Asha whispered under her breath, but since we have wolf ears, we all perfectly heard what she said.

"Don't worry. The Lunar Elixir can

all

cure all types of diseases with this powerful medicine. Astrid and her wolf will wake up with great energy as early as tomorrow and heal her injuries like nothing happened." Asha spoke as she faced us like she didn't whisper any words earlier.

All eyes were fixed on Asha as she moved with measured grace, her fingers deftly manipulating the shimmering Lunar Elixir.

The ethereal liquid seemed to respond to her touch, its luminous contents swirling and dancing with each subtle movement.

Astrid lay motionless on the

treatment cot, her pale features etched with the lines of suffering. Yet, as Asha carefully applied the Elixir to her wounds, a faint shimmer began to emanate from her injured skin, as if the very essence of the moon was infusing it with revitalizing energy.

We watched with bated breath, mesmerized by sight unfolding before us. The Elixir's silvery glow cast an otherworldly light upon Astrid's face, erasing the signs of her affliction and replacing them with a serene, almost ethereal, tranquility.

Asha was intensely focused as her eyes narrowed down to the screen that showed Astrid's vitals. She made a few swipes and a few taps on it to make sure that nothing went wrong with Astrid. Finally, after an hour of working, Asha's shoulders relaxed, and she looked at us with a small smile. "Astrid is healed. The Lunar Elixir worked its magic. She and her wolf will live."
