Ch. 146..150: Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 146-150

Chapter 146: What’s Done Can’t Be Undone

Killian's POV

My heart was relieved to see the Shadowfang Pack coming, knowing that they were the only ones who could save Astrid's life.

Even though I know that they would take Astrid away from me, I am more concerned about Astrid's health.

With the Shadowfang Pack behind Astrid's Pack, I know Astrid will never need me anymore.

She would be happy with Drystan and her friend Nova. All I just had to do was to avoid her if I really wanted her to be happy.

I watched with trepidation as the members of the Shadowfang Pack who had just arrived came to approach us.

I held Astrid's limp, bleeding form tightly against my chest, fear and anxiety coursing through me.

Yet, despite my wariness, a flicker of relief sparked within me. The Shadowfang Pack were Astrid's people - they were the only ones who could provide the medical care that Astrid needed. They came right in time to save her.

Still, deep inside my heart, below the great relief that I felt with the Shadowfang Pack's presence, I also felt dreadful because I knew that they would take Astrid away from me again, and after this, I wouldn't know when we would meet each other again.

I shouldn't feel like this. This kind of emotion is selfish. I was being selfish. If I really want Astrid to be happy, then it's best that I avoid her and keep her out of my life.

With the Shadowfang Pack behind her back, no one would dare to harm her. With Drystan and her friend Nova, she would be happy and free to do whatever she wants. There's nothing for me to be worried about. All I had to do was keep my distance from her so she would be safe and happy.

If I didn't deliberately come here to meet her, this wouldn't happen. It's clear that all I bring Astrid is pain and harm. Every time we meet, bad things happen to her. "Astrid!" A voice filled the clearing as one of the men in the group broke away and rushed towards us.

I turned tense as I watched the man running towards us. I had never met anyone in the Shadowfang Pack before. I don't even know what Shadowfang Pack's Alpha looks like. Shadowfang Pack is a closed Pack; we don't even have much information about it.

I held Astrid protectively in my arms as I looked at the approaching man warily. However, the stranger fell to his knees beside them, his expression etched with deep concern. "Astrid," the man whispered to Astrid, his eyes were wide with fear and worry.

"What happened?" The man demanded, his gaze flicking between Astrid's pale face and then to her clothes that were wet with blood.

I stared at the man, not knowing who he was. He must be the Shadowfang Pack's Beta sent by their Alpha to manage their relief support.

There was no way that the Alpha of

the Shadowfang Pack, who had always protected his identity and kept it secret, would come all the way here to handle such a menial

task.

en

I studied his features. He is older than me and has silver hair, highlighting his black hair. I think he is around Drystan's age.

"She got stabbed," I replied, my voice strained. "She needs medical attention quickly."

The man nodded grimly, already reaching to gather Astrid into his arms. I reluctantly relinquished my hold. I watched as the stranger cradled Astrid with utmost care.

His eyes never left Astrid's face as

he moved. It's as if he was afraid

that he would lose her. My heart skipped a beat when I recognized he looked at her. He is more

the

way

than just concerned with Astrid. It's

like he is in love with her.

My eyes widened as I stared at their backs. Could he possibly be Alpha Theron, the Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack?

As if Astrid heard the question in my head, she suddenly stirred in the stranger's arms. Her lids fluttered open, and then she spoke, "Alpha?"

"Sshh!" Alpha Thero whispered closely to her. "I'm here,"

My heart broke in half when I

witnessed their interaction. I felt envious and jealous, even seeing how comfortable Astrid was in Alpha Theron's arms and how much

she trusted him.

en

I looked away, unable to take it anymore. I was afraid that if I continued looking at them, I might be able to do something that I'd regret.

I guess I did not have to ask any questions anymore. My questions are already answered.

Seeing how the two looked at each other, it's obvious that something is going on between them.

I just didn't expect that Alpha Theron would be as old as Drystan. I was expecting a man around my age, but then it doesn't matter.

Even though Alpha Theron is old, he is still the Alpha of the most powerful Pack in the world. His status makes up for his age.

I just wonder if Astrid likes him back or if she was just using him for his status.

Still, Astrid and I had been together for so many years. I know she's not the type of woman who would date anyone just for their status or their money. However, the two of them are still dating nonetheless.

My assistant, Anya, is right. Astrid had already moved on. I should stop holding onto the past. What's done is done, and it could never be undone.

 

Chapter 147: The Loss of the Wolf

Alpha Theron's POV

The air in the hallway felt thick and suffocating as I paced anxiously outside the emergency room doors.

Astrid is in there, fighting for her life after the horrific accident. I had rushed her here as quickly as I could. We were able to give her first aid treatment along the way and stop her bleeding, but serious damage had already been done. She had already lost so much blood when we arrived at the scene. The first aid treatment that we gave her could only do so much.

With each passing minute, my heart raced faster. Astrid and I had only just met; we hadn't even gotten close to each other yet. I can't bear to lose her again, especially at death this time.

I still haven't had the chance to be her father. The small interactions that we had were still not enough. I haven't even crossed the wall she built around her heart yet. I can't lose her just like this.

I spun around when the emergency doors swung open, and Astrid's Doctor emerged, his expression dimmed.

Asha is the best medical staff we have in the Pack, but I couldn't trust her around Astrid just yet.

It's clear that Asha is still angry and hasn't accepted Astrid as her sister yet. Even though I knew that Asha would never go too far and kill somebody, I still felt more assured about placing this task on our Pack's second-best medical staff. "Doctor Smith, how is Astrid?" Asha asked when I was too lost for words to speak when I noticed the Doctor's grim expression.

As soon as Asha and my son, Andros, heard that Astrid's life was in danger, they immediately rushed here and accompanied me as I waited outside the emergency room.

Asha kept affirming to me that everything would be all right even though she knew that her words didn't help to calm my nerves.

Meanwhile, Andros just stood up the whole time, his side leaning on the wall for support as he watched the closed emergency doors like a guard.

"Alpha Theron," The Doctor instantly turned to me, ignoring Asha when he saw me.

I steeled myself, preparing for the worst. As he approached, I searched his face desperately for any glimmer of hope.

"I'm sorry," The Doctor said solemnly as he met my gaze. "We did everything we could. Astrid's body was still in the process of recovery, and this injury really took a final blow to her. Astrid's wolf... she didn't make it.

The world seemed to tilt and spin around me. Asha was quick to her feet. She instantly held my arm when I momentarily lost my balance.

"Father," Andros quickly rushed to my side when he saw what happened. "Are you alright?" He asked me with his brows furrowed in concern.

I swallowed hard and nodded my head to ease his worries. I grabbed onto Asha's arm to support myself. "I'm alright. There's nothing wrong with me."

"Are you sure, father?" Asha asked softly beside me, making me turn to look at her.

"I'm completely fine, I just felt weak for a second, "I assured her.

Seeing that I had recovered, Asha finally turned her attention back to the Doctor. "Doctor Smith, how could this happen? Even if Astrid hadn't fully recovered yet, we still used the Lunar Elixir to save her life. The Lunar Elixir is a powerful medicine. This should be enough not to cause her to lose her wolf."

Upon hearing Asha's words, I stared back at the Doctor expectantly with hope in my eyes.

ét

"Lady Asha, you are the one who administered the Lunar Elixir to her. Didn't you monitor her health after that? Yo know that even though Astrid's health improved, her wolf didn't. The Lunar Elixir had no effect on Astrid's wolf at all," The Doctor answered back

My breath got caught in my throat when Doctor Smith's words reminded me of something.

I am a pure-blooded Alpha, while Astrid's mother was a pure-blooded Omega. This kind of arrangement is possibly causing an imbalance in Astrid's wolf and body.

That must be the reason why the Lunar Elixir had no effect on Astrid's wolf.

I have always found it strange that Astrid had no Alpha blood in her, even though I was her father. Asha had always tried to convince me that Astrid was not my real daughter because of this.

Maybe this is also one of the effects when two purebloods are mixed together.

Asha was unable to talk back when she heard Doctor Smith's reply. I also fell awfully quiet beside her, devastated that Astrid had lost her wolf.

My composure crumbled, all the proud bearing and Alpha confidence drained from my frame as the news hit me like a physical blow.

"Alpha, Astrid still needs your help," I

lifted my gaze back to the Doctor when I heard his words. "Although, Astrid lost her wolf, she is still fighting for her life. Astrid needed a blood transfusion right now. That's the only way for her to survive."

"Then take my blood," I firmly answered. I even started rolling up my sleeves, willing to give up everything if that meant saving my daughter's life.

"Dad!" Asha pushed my arm down to myself, stopping me. "What are you doing? Your blood won't match hers. You're a pure-blooded Alpha, while Astrid is a pure-born Omega. Astrid will only end up suffering more if her blood clashes with yours."

 

Chapter 148: Blood Donor

Alpha Theron's POV

"Doctor Smith, as a doctor, how could you allow something like this?" Asha questioned the Doctor angrily. "Wasn't it taught to you that werewolves have special blood? Even if they have the same blood type, we also need to make sure that both bloods are at the same level, or else the patient will die."

I turned alarmed when I heard Asha's words. "Are you trying to kill my daughter?!" I roared at the Doctor.

Seeing that I had turned angry, the Doctor instantly bowed his head to us in surrender. "Lady Asha, I am fully aware of this matter, but if Alpha Theron is really her father, then that makes him the best fit for a donor." Asha scoffed. "Best fit? Doctor Smith, have you become stupid?" Asha questioned back, making the Doctor shake his head in fear.

After all, Astrid and I are on the opposite side of the spectrum. If a drop of my blood got mixed into her blood, it could already be enough to kill her because of the difference we had in our wolves.

"Lady Asha, aside from Alpha Theron, there's no one else who can provide blood for Astrid. Trust me, I've tried many methods to save her and avoid this matter, but blood transfusion is the only thing left that could save her.

If we don't give her blood, Astrid will die. However, if Alpha Theron agrees to give his blood, there will be a fifty-fifty chance of her life," Doctor Smith explained his plan, which I found reasonable.

Asha's jaw tightened as she gave the Doctor a sharp gaze. Even her grip on my arm tightened a bit.

"If Astrid needs blood, she could take mine. We can't let the Alpha shed his blood," Andros suddenly stepped forward.

"Me too!" Asha responded. "You can also take my blood if you want."

Doctor Smith stared at Asha and Andros back and forth with wide eyes. I only sighed at my children's stubbornness.

"Didn't you hear what he said? Astrid specifically needs my blood. There's no need for you to get involved in this," I pushed them back as I approached the Doctor.

"If you are Astrid's father, then that makes her our sibling. Our blood could match," Andros argued, refusing to let me off easily and give away my blood.

"Andros, your sister is in a special condition. We don't even know if she's going to live with my blood or not. So, how could I let you, her half-sibling, have your blood?" I questioned as I stared directly into his eyes.

Andros was left speechless and unable to answer my question. I know he just doesn't sit well with the idea of letting me give up my blood.

As the Alpha of the Pack with thousands of members depending on me, weakening myself, even for a noble cause, will surely fill everyone with unease.

"Doctor Smith, lead the way and tell me what I should do," I turned my back on them as I paid my attention to Doctor Smith to show my children that I had really made up my mind.

"Dad, if you still want to go through this, then let me do it," Asha spoke behind me, making me stop in my tracks.

I slowly turned around with my hands kept behind my back as I held to my surprise. I didn't expect that Asha would volunteer to do this.

I looked into her eyes, trying to see through her expression, but all I recognized was the sincerity in her. She's really serious about this.

Asha had never liked Astrid. I think even the statement that Asha doesn't like Astrid would be an understatement to what she really feels towards her half-sister.

Still, she volunteered to do this procedure herself, to draw blood from my vein and do the transfusion on Astrid, even though it meant helping me would equal saving Astrid.

Asha had never said a word the

whole time that Astrid was in the emergency room. I know that both Andros and Asha weren't worried about their half-sister. They couldn't care less about her

The only reason why they are here is for me. They know how much this would break my heart.

Even though I have betrayed my children, they still love me and care for me just like they had before.

Asha couldn't even place my life in the trust of Doctor Smith, even though it was just a simple procedure of donating blood.

Ever since Asha was little, she has always had a strong personality. She never backs down against others. She has no fear, and she's very competitive.

It's also the reason why I drew his interest in medicine and prohibited her from meddling with our Pack's affairs. I was afraid that she would be a hindrance to her brother

BUMS

Asha is the type of person who never stops until she gets what she wants, and I made that worse by spoiling her.

As a parent, my worst fear is that my children would fight against themselves for the title. While I'm still alive, I had to stop that from happening.

I'm very happy that they both grew up very close to each other.

Even though Asha is rude and feisty, she's a straightforward person, which is what I like most about her.

With her, what you see is what you get. She doesn't mask her true feelings and maintains a friendly facade that makes it difficult for the unsuspecting victim to realize her true malicious nature.

No, she's not that type of person. When she's angry, then she's angry. She has a very straightforward nature.

Still, deep inside her heart. Below that coldness that she shows everyone, there lies her warm heart with a space for people that she loves and cares about.

 

 

Chapter 149: Only Daughter

Asha's POV

Though my face remained impassive, inside, I simmered in anger. I couldn't believe that my father would still insist on giving his blood even though Andros and I were willing to go under the needle for him.

My father has grown weak with age. He is not the same strong and powerful man that he was before. The stress of handling a huge Pack has taken its toll on his body.

I'm angry at my father, who still insists on doing this, knowing how this could affect his health. As an Alpha, he has to keep all his strength to himself. With all the tasks he is in charge of, he desperately needs to be in good health all the time.

I moved with practised precision as I prepared the kit that I would be using. My father gave me a steady gaze. He's been staring at me for a long time without saying anything. His stare unnerves me the most because I'm secretly angry at him. "Dad, are you sure about this?" I asked him one last time as I held the needle in one hand after I had prepared everything.

"Asha, your sister is fighting for her life. How could I let her die when I have what it takes to save her life?" My father answered back.

"Dad, you know what will happen if Astrid is not your daughter, right? She would die as soon as your blood makes contact with her," I reasoned out with him.

My father fell silent for a moment. "Asha, you still don't believe that Astrid is your sister, do you?"

I felt guilty as soon as I heard his question. "Dad, for all we know, she could be a fraud. I am an expert in this field, father. Trust me, this doesn't make any sense. How could a weak person like her be your daughter?"

"Then, in that case, the more that we need to continue this," my father replied as he pinned me with his gaze. "If Astrid dies, then she's not your sister, and she gets her punishment of trying to fool us, but if she survives, then you will have no choice but to accept her because she is your sister."

I fell silent at my father's proposition. How could I accept Astrid? My whole life, I was his only daughter. I used to be the only person that my father doted on. Now, there would be the two of us.

"Asha, are you sure you're going to do this? You can let Doctor Smith do this procedure instead." I gazed back at him again after he called my attention with his request.

Doctor Smith? I am the best doctor in the world, and I have already volunteered to do this procedure for him. Does he want Doctor Smith to help him instead?

The reason why I volunteered to do this is because he is my father. No one, not even Doctor Smith, who is the best after me, would be permitted to draw my father's blood. I volunteered to do this because I trusted no one other than myself.

Angered by his words, I stabbed the needle under his skin without permission, making him wince in pain and surprise.

He squinted his eyes and gripped his arm as he held in the pain. "You could have made a mistake!" My dad scolded me.

"I was aiming to do that, but you know that I'm so good at my job that I can't even make a mistake even if I wanted to," I retorted.

My dad only shook his head at my ego. Once his blood started to fill the tubing, we finally moved him to the emergency room where Astrid was.

We placed Dad's bed beside her so we could directly transfuse Dad's blood into Astrid.

We had no time to lose. Astrid needed the blood as soon as possible.

Everyone watched in trepidation as Dad's blood continued to flow, and then... It finally went inside Astrid's vein and mixed with her blood.

There was an eerie silence in the room. All the doctors, the nurses, and my father waited for what was going to happen like Astrid was a ticking time bomb that was about to explode.

I glued my eyes to Astrid's heart monitor as I awaited the changes, but there was nothing.

A full minute had gone... nothing.

I glanced at Astrid's limp body in

shock. She's really my half-sister but how? How could she be a full-blooded omega, yet her blood did not reject my father's strong alpha blood? en

Just like me, all the medical staff were in shock, too. There are probably questions in their head, but they had to keep their mouth shut and continue their job.

My eyes finally landed on my father. Our gazes met, and I blinked when I remembered what he told me earlier.

"I, I gotta go," I whispered out and stormed out of the room. As soon as I was clothed with the blinding lights in the hallway, I could finally breathe normal again.

"Asha," I almost jumped in surprise when somebody spoke out of nowhere.

It turns out it was my brother. "It worked, didn't it?" He asked as he stepped nearer towards me.

I looked at my brother without saying a word. I just felt so distraught.

"It's okay, Asha," my brother whispered consolingly as he placed a hand carefully on my shoulder.

"No matter what, you'd still be our father's daughter. I know you are afraid, but we can't be selfish-"

"I'm not being selfish," I blurted out as I glared at my brother. "You don't know how it feels. I feel like my whole life was a lie. Suddenly... I just felt 'm not that valued and special anymore."

"What are you talking about? Look, no matter what, you are still our father's daughter, who raised himself. You are still Asha. Astrid

can never change that," my brother

assured me, but I did not listen to his words.

"You are being too kind, brother. I'm sorry I'm not like you. I'm sorry, I'm not good enough!" I burst out on him and stormed out of the hallway.

 

 

Chapter 150: Pack Meeting

Alpha Theron's POV

As I sat at my desk in my office, facilitating a Pack meeting, my mind kept drifting to Astrid. She still had not woken up, even after I had given my blood in a desperate attempt to save her.

I was glad when her body had no adverse effects on my blood. I believe with all my heart that she is my daughter, but the fact that she was born with pure omega blood made me fear that my strong blood could cause adverse effects on her body.

It is bad luck that everything happened yesterday, and today happened to be Monday. Meetings are scheduled every Monday morning.

Even though my body is still feeling weak because of the amount of blood that I donated, I cannot skip today's meeting.

Astrid had lost a lot of blood, and I was the only donor who could give her all the blood that she needed.

They had no choice but to continue drawing my blood three times more than the normal amount of blood that my body can normally give because if not, all my efforts of giving my blood would be put to waste.

Luckily, though, Andros and Asha weren't there to stop me. If they were, I'm afraid they would have forcefully taken me out of the emergency room if they saw how pale and weak I looked with the amount of blood that I gave.

Of course, I had to make everyone swear to me in secrecy. I can't let my two children know what I did, or they will get very angry at me.

"Alpha Theron, we have a concerning rift developing within our Pack," Beta Alek spoke up, making me look at him.

"Speak," I commanded.

His gaze swept across the others with a frown creasing his brow. "Several of our hunters have been returning from patrols with clashing beliefs and growing dissent among the ranks. Some are advocating that we should be more aggressive to other Packs, while others call for a more diplomatic approach."

Beta Alek paused his expression grave. "If this continues, this conflict can threaten to divide our Pack and cause rebellion against the Alpha. We must resolve this issue before it escalates."

Alek was discussing a pack matter that required my decision, but his words seemed distant, muffled by my defeating thoughts of Astrid's condition.

I forced myself to concentrate, but with my weak state, it was hard for me to do so. I could only hear and understand some snippets of Beta Alek's words.

"This is a serious matter," I spoke unsurely when Beta Alek was done with his words. "Our Pack has been through many storms and has always emerged stronger for it, but that strength came from our unity. I will not allow this conflict in the Pack. There is no room for division amongst the Shadowfang Pack."

Everyone stared at me like they were expecting me to say more. I froze up, not knowing what else was there to say because I didn't catch everything Beta Alek said.

"Then what do you think, Alpha?" our Pack's Gamma asked.

"What do I think?" I scratched my chin as if I was deep in thought.

"Should we be more aggressive, or should we take a diplomatic approach?" Beta Alek asked.

"Of course, we should go for a diplomatic approach," I answered, shocking everybody. Our Gamma even looked at me like I had two heads.

"I know we can easily win if we

choose to be aggressive. Among all

the Packs, there's no one that can stand against us, but with what happened to the Emberwood Pack, we can't let that happen again," I paused, allowing my words to sink in?

"The rogues are acting up, haven't you noticed? It's better that we save our energy, especially now that we have no idea what really happened to the Emberwood Pack yet," explained my reasoning in a clear, decisive manner.

Everyone seemed satisfied with my judgment, and the meeting began to wind down. "Meeting is adjourned!" I formally closed the meeting when no one had no longer else to say.

Finally, I could leave and visit Astrid. After I was done giving my blood yesterday, I felt so exhausted that I fell asleep. When I woke up, I had no choice but to go directly to my office to facilitate the meeting.

I haven't seen Astrid since yesterday. I had no idea how she was doing right now.

As I stood up, intending to make my way to her, a sudden wave of dizziness overcame me. I grabbed the edge of the table, steadying myself.

"Alpha, are you alright?" Someone rushed beside me and grabbed my arm to keep me upright.

When I looked up, I saw Alek with worry and concern etched on his face. Everyone else had left already.

I blinked to clear the haze that settled over me. "I... I'm fine," I stammered, cursing my moment of weakness. "Do you have any news about Astrid?"

Alek's brows furrowed at my answer, but he knew better than to argue with me. "Astrid has stabled Alpha. She's going to be alright. We are just waiting for her to wake up." Gently, Alek guided me back to my chair and hurriedly fetch me water. After feeling refreshed, I gazed back at Beta Alek again to discuss what had been bothering my mind.
