Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Shadowfang Pack

Astrid’s POV

“You don’t have to be worried, Astrid. I promise you, you are not alone in this. I will help you find your cure. I won’t let anything bad happen to you,” Nova adds when she sees my indifferent reaction.

I glanced at Nova when I heard her words. She’s promising me too many things. She might blame herself if she’s unable to keep some of her promises.

“You don’t have to promise me anything,” I shook her hand that she placed on my lap to comfort me. “I told you, I’ll figure everything out once my child is born,” I answered her even though I really had no intention of doing that anymore.

It’s obvious that someone like me could never acquire such a precious medicine.

“I’ve been doing my own research behind your back,” Nova confesses which surprised me. “I made a background search on Shadowfang Pack, it turns out Shadowfang Pack is an ancient Pack, no wonder why their name sounded so familiar to me,” Nova tells me.

Although I was a Luna who had met so many Pack leaders because of my previous position. I’ve never heard of a Pack called Shadowfang and I’ve never met anyone that came from that Pack.

It didn’t even ring a bell to me when I heard the word Shadowfang Pack.

“If it’s an ancient Pack, how come I’ve never met anyone from them before?” I asked her.

“It’s because Shadowfang Pack refuses to cooperate with other Packs. They are isolating themselves from the others and don’t like any cooperation,” Nova answered.

“What kind of Pack would separate from the others?” I asked under my breath.

As a Luna, I know the importance of cooperation and alliance with other Packs even if your Pack is already stable and powerful.

The Silvermoon Pack is a stable and powerful Pack, yet it still seeks to ally with small Packs and offer them assistance knowing that it would become useful in the future.

It sounds weird and unusual that a Pack is choosing to isolate itself from the others.

“The Shadowfang Pack doesn’t need anyone’s help to survive. They have a long-standing history and they are so rich and powerful that they can sustain themselves even after thousands of years from now.”

I chuckled lightly at Nova’s words. I think she’s exaggerating. How rich and powerful could this Pack be to sustain themselves for thousands of years alone and without the help of others? No Pack like that could possibly exist.

“Shadowfang Pack is abundant in resources. They have favorable climate and diverse landscapes that almost all the rare herbs could be found in their territory,” Nova explained.

Now it made sense why they could invent such a powerful medicine like the Lunar Elixir, but I doubt a Pack could survive on its own just by possessing that.

“Oh, and I also just found out in my research that mining is the Shadowfang Pack’s main source of income. Do you know Luminite? Their mines are the only source of Luminite.”

My eyes widened at Nova’s words. Now, I’m finally impressed with their Pack. Luminite is a special kind of metal that has exceptional strength, durability, and unique energy-absorption capabilities.

It is believed that the Luminite was formed when the pieces of the moon fell onto Earth a billion years ago. That also explains the craters that can be seen on the moon until now.

“Can you see now?! Shadowfang Pack doesn’t need the help of the others. The other Packs needed them instead. It would have been so great for all Packs if their Alpha didn’t hoard everything and separated themselves from the others,” Nova huffed.

I fell silent as I thought of Nova’s words and I think she’s right. Just imagine how many werewolves would have been saved if the Shadowfang Pack shared the procedure of how to make Lunar Elixir with other Packs.

There are a lot of werewolves who are late shifters. That problem would have been solved if the Lunar Elixir was available in the market. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“I think this actually solves our problems,” I finally spoke up. “The Shadowfang Pack is already rich and powerful that they don’t need anything. For sure they can produce as many Lunar Elixirs as many as they want. Maybe they would give me the Lunar Elixir if I asked for it,” I explained to her.

Nova shook her head hard. “That wouldn’t be so easy though,” Nova muttered.

I guess, Nova hasn’t told me the bad news yet.

“The Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack is different. You can say that he has a crooked mindset,” Nova added with her lips stretched slightly.

“What do you mean?” I asked her, not understanding what she exactly meant.

“Their Alpha has questionable principles and acts according to his extreme views or ideologies.”

I turned silent for a moment. I think she’s saying that their Alpha is an extremist or a zealot.

“That’s the reason why he doesn’t like to cooperate with the other Alphas. He is what you might call evil,” Nova explained.

In that case, I think my chances of getting this cure had just turned lower than before.

If their Alpha is what she says he is, then how will I be able to convince him or negotiate with him to give me this cure?

“What are you guys talking about?” Drystan suddenly popped up behind our backs.
