Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Blacklisted

Killian’s POV

My journey to the Nightsong Pack was arduous and relentless, but my weary self pressed on without rest until I reached my destination.

What should have been a leisurely 8–hour drive through the rolling hills and winding roads became a punishing 5–hour slog, as I gave up the usual road breaks in the journey and pushed myself to the limits.

I yawned as I pressed on the gas pedal and drove through the empty road. It’s already twelve midnight. I should now be sleeping, resting after everything that had happened in the Pack earlier.

My body felt so exhausted. This morning, I had to wake up earlier than usual because of the event, and then I had to run for miles as I anxiously searched for Astrid.

After that, I went directly to the hospital, and when I found out that Drystan and Astrid had left the hospital, I instantly pursued them.

I haven’t slept a wink since this morning.

And now this – speeding down an empty road with only the soft rumble of the car humming as if lulling me to sleep.

Since I was in a hurry, I didn’t bother to bring anyone with me and drove the car myself.

I know it’s dangerous driving alone in the middle of the night, especially since rogues usually prey on wolves at night, but I’m more worried about Astrid than I am about putting myself in danger.

I couldn’t push this journey for tomorrow, so I rested in my room. I know that even if I lay on my soft bed back at home, I will never fall asleep even though my body feels severely exhausted. I would only lie there with my eyes open as I thought of Astrid.–

With a deep breath, I slowed down the car when I reached a rocky dirt path. Since Packs are located in the forests and places where no humans can find them, it’s easy to get lost without a straight concrete path that leads directly to a Pack, but since I’ve been here before, I know the way, like the back of my hand.

Once you reach a dirt path, that’s the sign that you are reaching your destination.

I stopped the car and rolled down the window when I reached the borders of the Nightsong Pack.

The Pack Warriors that were standing on guard approached my vehicle with stern expressions on their face, but when they saw my familiar face, their eyes widened in recognition.

“A–Alpha Killian,” they stuttered as they looked at me as if they had seen a ghost.

They must not have expected that I would come here in the middle of the night.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m here to visit my uncle,” I spoke, ready to move my vehicle again.

“I’m afraid you are not welcome here, Alpha Killian. By order of Alpha Drystan, you have been blacklisted from entering the Nightsong Pack,” The Pack guard simply informed me without offending me.

I turned my head to the front when the Pack guard’s words echoed in the crisp night air. The Pack guard didn’t have to explain. He is hinting that I already know this, so I shouldn’t have come here.

I sighed. “I won’t take too long. Your Alpha and I just met and talked with each other earlier. If you tell him that I’m here, he will surely allow you to let me in,” I answered him.

“I’m sorry, Alpha Killian. We are under Alpha Drystan’s strict order not to let you in. If we disobey him, we will be punished,” The guard lowered his head as he spoke.

I fell silent. I knew they wouldn’t allow me to let me in. I was just stupidly hoping that they would consider my efforts of traveling here in the middle of the night just to see how Astrid was doing.

It was me who saved Astrid and brought her to the hospital. Drystan should have told me something instead of escaping behind my back.

I hope that he will at least give me what he owes me.

“Fine,” I replied in surrender, knowing that these guards would rather die keeping me away from their Pack than agree to let me in.

An Alpha’s word is absolute in the Pack. The Pack members would uphold his degree. Insisting what I wanted would be challenging the Alpha’s authority.

“Fine,” I answered in surrender. “Just tell me how Astrid is doing, and I’m going to leave.”

The Pack guard’s brows furrowed when he heard my words.

“But how can we tell you that if we also had no idea how she’s doing?” Another Pack guard that was standing behind him spoke.

My brows knit together as my gaze darted to the man who spoke. “What do you mean? Drystan took Astrid with him and left the hospital. Didn’t he bring Astrid back to your Pack?” I asked, feeling confused.

The Pack guard who I was talking to, glanced over his shoulder and glared at the guard who spoke without permission, causing him to lower his head guiltily.

“Where is Astrid?” I demanded. I came all the way here to find out how she is doing, but she’s not even here.

Where did Drystan take her?

“Alpha Drystan didn’t return here with Astrid,” the Pack guard answered me.” Astrid is in critical danger. So they went to the Shadowfang Pack for help.”

My brows furrowed even more deeply. What is Drystan thinking? What makes him think that the Shadowfang Pack would save Astrid?.

He is only putting Astrid in more danger by taking her out of the hospital and bringing her to a place that doesn’t have any assurances of saving her.

Without saying another word, I rolled up my window and revved the car. I’m going to the Shadowfang Pack to see Astrid.

“Alpha, where are you?” My Beta’s voice sounded inside my head as I drove my car away.

“I’m still at the Nightsong Pack,” I answered him.

“Then have you heard the news?” He asked me.

“What news?” It was in the middle of the night, and everyone would be sleeping. What kind of news would there be?

“The Shadowfang Pack had just announced that they are making an alliance with the Nightsong Pack,” he shouted, making my eyes go wide.
