Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 142

Killian’s POV

My fingers instinctively curled into a fist when I saw Giselle coming.

What the hell is she doing here? Why did she follow me?

My gaze instantly turned across me to where Astrid was standing. However, instead of seeing her, I saw Nova instead.

I was surprised to see Nova holding the ladle and giving soup. I had no idea when Nova and Astrid had switched places.

While I was working earlier, I could feel Astrid’s gaze boring into me from time to time. It’s as if she’s trying to read me, scrutinizing every detail.

It took me a lot of effort to resist her gaze and to stop the urge to stare back at her.

I purposefully ignored her to grant her wish that I would never bother her again. I was afraid that if our gazes met, everything would be over for me.

I was afraid that the only resistance I had left, the little thing that I had left for myself to keep myself together without her, would suddenly vanish, and I would be left with nothing.

I’ve done a lot of bad things. I have hurt her, and I will only continue to hurt her if I continue to keep her by my side.

To make up for everything that I have done, I could only protect her behind the shadows.

“Alpha,” one of my men rushed behind me, but I strode forward towards Giselle, letting him follow behind.

I know what he is going to say. He is just going to inform me that Giselle has arrived, and I have already seen it.

I have to rush there and meet with Giselle before Astrid sees her first. I was lucky that Nova switched places with Astrid. If not, she would have seen Giselle already.

I have to make her leave before Astrid sees her.

She shouldn’t have come here. I know she would get angry if she found out that Astrid was here, and I told her nothing about it, but I was more worried that her presence would only rile up Astrid’s anger and hurt her.

Astrid had just lost her child, and she might have blamed Giselle for it. If Giselle were out of the picture, Astrid and I would still be married right now, and Astrid would be safe and still pregnant with our baby.

Giselle smiled excitedly when she saw me coming. She rushed towards me, oblivious to my anger. As soon as she came face to face with me, she instantly wrapped her arms around me, showing how much she’s been yearning for me.
