Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: The Cure

Astrid’s POV

“What’s wrong with her? Is she okay?” Nova asked anxiously after the Pack Doctor performed a thorough check on me.

Nova stayed beside me the whole time that I was hurting. She squeezed my hand and comforted me with worry etched across her face.

If she had the ability to take away half of the pain that I was experiencing, I knew she would have done it.

I’m so glad that we have gotten to know each other and that we have finally become friends.

The Pack Doctor couldn’t meet our eyes as he took a step back. I became anxious knowing that face meant that something was wrong.

“I-I’ve never seen something like this,” the Pack Doctor blurted out with fear in his eyes.

Nova’s brows furrowed. He is the Pack’s best doctor, he should know this kind of thing.

“I’ve studied all kinds of diseases and medicines, but I’ve never seen anything like this,” the Pack Doctor continued, adding to my fears.

“W-What’s wrong with me? I-Is the baby okay?” I stammered.

“The baby is fine, ma’am, but there is something wrong with your wolf. I don’t know what’s causing it, but your wolf is slowly fading away,” the pack doctor answered.

My eyes widened in fear. I remembered Ingrid’s last words to me before she suddenly stopped showing herself to me. She said that I might not see her anymore. I never understood what she

meant because Ingrid is a part of me. I don’t know how she’s supposed to leave me.

“What do you mean?” Nova stepped forward. “We are werewolves, half wolf and half human. How could someone’s wolf fade away?” Nova questioned.

“That’s what I don’t understand,” The Pack Doctor replied. “Astrid and her baby are completely fine, but when I checked her wolf’s vitality, I sensed something wrong with her.”

I lowered my head as I digested his words. Since this is my body, I have always known that there is something wrong with my wolf. As my body grew weaker and weaker, I knew that it was caused by my own wolf.

“Is she going to be okay?” Nova asked.

The Pack Doctor pursed his lips. “Astrid and her baby are going to be okay, but if this continues, she might lose her wolf soon.”

My heart skipped a beat when I heard his words. Although, I’m only an omega which makes my wolf weak. What better would I be against a human if I didn’t have a wolf?

“But there is a cure, right? My wolf can still recover and I wouldn’t have to lose her. Is there any medicine that I can take to help my wolf?” I asked him with a desperate look in my eyes.

I can’t lose Ingrid. We’ve been together ever since I learned how to shift. I just can’t lose her.

The Pack Doctor lowered his head. “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. I’m afraid that I don’t have any medicine that I can give you.”

I swallowed hard upon hearing his answer. What’s going to happen to me if I lose my wolf? Are we just going to wait until she fades away?

“You are the best Doctor of our Pack. There must be something we can do,” Nova argued.

“There is one cure, but it would be difficult to get it,” The Pack Doctor spoke meekly.

“What is it?” I demanded.

“There is a cure called Lunar Elixir. They say that the Lunar Elixir could cure all kinds of wolf inflictions, but it’s very rare—“

“Where can we find it?” Nova interrupted him.

“The Shadowfang Pack is the only Pack who knows how to make Luna Elixir. They invented that cure themselves—“

“How much is it?” Nova interrupted again.

The Pack Doctor’s eyes widened at her question. “The Lunar Elixir is not available in the market. As I said, it is very rare. You have to mix different rare herbs just to make the Lunar Elixir. The Shadowfang Pack won’t give the Lunar Elixir just to anyone.”

Nova and I got quiet upon hearing how hard it is to get this Lunar Elixir. Even though I have a cure, it wouldn’t make a difference if I couldn’t acquire it.

Nova’s brows suddenly furrowed. “The Shadowfang Pack? I think I’ve heard that somewhere,” she whispered.

“It’s okay,” I muttered. “I will look for the medicine once my baby is born. I will figure everything out so you don’t have to worry,” I squeezed her hand after seeing how concerned she was.

Nova gave me a small smile.

I know it would be impossible to get the cure by myself, but I’m sure I’m going to find a way. I won’t let anything bad happen to my wolf. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Nova, can I ask you for a favor?” I pleaded.

“What is it?” Nova asked, eager to help.

“Please Don’t tell Drystan about this.” Nova’s eyes widened instantly as soon as she heard what I was asking her to do.

“I know you and Drystan are close. I just don’t want him to worry and add to his burdens. I can take care of this, he doesn’t need to know.” I tried to convince her.

Nova looked at me with an uncomfortable expression on her face. Before she could give me an answer, Drystan suddenly walked in and saw us all together.
