Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 163

Alpha Theron’s POV

“You!—” I held out a finger and angrily pointed at him when I heard his words. No words left my mouth as it bobbed up and down like a fish. I was unable to oppose a word that he said because this wasn’t really his fault.

“Astrid had always been strange when she arrived,” Doctor Smith spoke up for me. “We used the Lunar Elixir to save her, but it had no effect on recovering her wolf. When we used your blood to save her, although it didn’t match, it still mysteriously worked and saved her,” Doctor Smith paused; his words made me silent.

“Who could ever explain Astrid’s condition? Even the most advanced Pack and the most knowledgeable Doctor in the world will never be able to find out what’s wrong with her. This is something that has never happened before,” Doctor Smith added with all honesty.

I shifted my gaze on Astrid. I swallowed hard at the complexity of her condition. I don’t even know what kind of danger she’s in, which only adds to my fears.

“I’m sorry, Alpha, but I can’t give you the answers that you need,” Doctor Smith mumbled, his head lowered in fear.

“You’re the doctor — you’re supposed to have the answers!” I snapped, my voice laced with accusation as I glared at him, my brow furrowed in a fierce scowl.

Astrid’s life is on the line, and instead of doing his job, he is kneeling in front of me, admitting defeat.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I’ve examined her thoroughly, but there are still many things that remain unclear to me. I don’t have any clear diagnosis to give you.”

A tense silence hung in the air as soon as Doctor Smith uttered those dark words that shattered my hope. My expression shifted then, and the anger slowly drained from my features as I started to accept the complexity of Astrid’s condition.

I guess all I had to do was wait for what Beta Alek would find out in his investigations.

A cold, steely determination took hold of my features when I was finally convinced by Doctor Smith’s words.

Slowly, purposefully, I turned to face the Doctor, my eyes narrowing as I regarded him. “Clearly, you made a mistake in your previous diagnosis. Astrid’s wolf never died, which explains what I saw earlier.”

The Doctor’s eyes widened when he heard my words. “I will never make a mistake on something as simple as this, Alpha. I’ve handled so many patients before. There’s no way I would make mistakes. Even earlier, when I checked her, I couldn’t sense any wolf from her.”

“Doctor Smith, you’re growing old it’s unavoidable to make mistakes with your age,” I replied back with a cold voice.

“B-but—“ Doctor Smith stammered, but I interrupted him.
