Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Daddy!



Astrid's POV

"Do you like it out here?" I asked Lucinda with a smile on my face as we accompanied her at the garden, but just like usual, she never responded. Still, Nova and I kept asking her questions hoping that she would say a word to us.

To grant Luna Crystalia's request. We agreed to spend time with her daughter to hopefully get her to speak.

I'm not sure why Luna Crystalia thought that her daughter would open to us. We are strangers to this Pack, and Lucinda is not familiar to us. I'm not sure why Lucinda would trust us, but I hope that she would.

"These are her favorite toys, Lady Stella," the omega informed me as she brought Lucinda's dolls and huge doll houses to us.

I thought playing with Lucinda would make her comfortable with us. "Thank you," I muttered to the omega with a smile.

After bringing what we have requested, they finally left us alone as we wanted. I believe there would be more chances of Lucinda opening up to us if there are only the three of us.

“Oohh! This doll looks just like me,” Nova beamed as she held up a doll with strawberry hair and outfit. “Do you think this doll looks like me, Lucinda?”

Lucinda looked out of herself. It seems she didn't even hear Nova's words.

"Lucinda?" Nova called out her name, but Lucinda kept staring somewhere far.

I traced her gaze and found out that she's staring at the forest. I remember how we first found her lost at the forest. Maybe she's sick of being around the Packhouse. Maybe she wanted to explore somewhere else.

"Why don't we go to the forest and play hide and seek?" I suggested.

Lucinda's gaze suddenly turned to me when she heard my question which is something new from her.

"That sounds good, we should do that," Nova agreed when she saw the reaction we gained from Lucinda.

The three of us traversed the snow-covered forest, looking for a private place where we could play. Lucinda held no expression on her face as she walked with us, but I know that she would be happy.

"Who should play the seeker?" I asked.

Lucinda suddenly tugged my arm and pulled me aside before openly staring at Nova.

Nova and I smiled at each other. Lucinda is communicating with us, although she's not yet speaking.

"Okay, I'll be the seeker," Nova volunteered knowing what Lucinda's actions meant.

Nova covered her eyes and pressed her forehead on the tree then she started counting.

I pulled Lucinda by the hand so we could hide together in the forest. "Where should we hide, Lucinda?" I asked her in a whisper.

She's not saying and doing anything, she's just allowing me to take the lead.

I don't know how deep we've gone in the forest. While we were still trying to find a place to hide, werewolves started to surround us, growling and baring their canines at us. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I pushed Lucinda behind my back and held her secure by her shoulders. I looked around, counting the werewolves that surrounded us.

I need to protect Lucinda with my life

"Get back where you come from! I'm with an Alpha's daughter. You won't be forgiven if something happened to her," I threatened them.

Instead of backing down because of my threats, they took a step forward, determined to get a kill.

I maintained eye contact with them, ready to protect Lucinda at all costs. One of them finally lunged at us, thinking that we would be an easy target.

With my combat skills, I am able to deflect the werewolf's attack by hitting him on his neck, making him fall to the ground choking up.

Seeing that they attacked me first, I knew that I was their target.

"Run, Lucinda, RUN!" I shouted at her in urgency and pushed her away from me. Helping her get out

is the only way I can make sure to protect her.

Lucinda fell face to the ground, after I had pushed her too hard. I went back in my fighting stance, ready to fight all my attackers in human form.

I was able to deflect most of their attacks, but the one from behind caught me off guard. I fell on the ground, exposing my weaknesses

I raised my arms and closed my eyes when another werewolf lunged to attack me again.

An ear-piercing scream entered my ears when Lucinda was filled with terror.

When I opened my eyes, another wolf jumped and caught the enemy in midair, rescuing me.

I stood up and ran towards Lucinda and hugged her.

“Close your eyes," I whispered to her ear as I burrowed her head to my neck.

Behind me, I heard snarls and growls and flesh being ripped apart. I know Nova is taking them down in the fight.

The one who saved me earlier was her.

"L-Lucinda." Alpha Everest along with his Pack Warriors arrived at the scene.

His warriors transformed into their wolf form and helped Nova in the attack.

"Don't spare anyone!" Alpha Everest commanded fiercely before he enveloped Lucinda in a hug.

"My precious angel," he muttered endearingly as he held his daughter tightly.

"Are you okay?" Alpha Everest asked her as he pulled apart from the hug and checked for injuries.

“Daddy, is she okay?” Lucinda suddenly spoke as she stared at me.

Alpha Everest's mouth fell open when he heard her daughter speak for the first time. "L-Lucinda." Tears welled his eyes as he looked at his daughter.
