Chapter 21: 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.
