Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 18

Giselle’s POV

My eyes blinked when I heard Killian’s words, but I didn’t let him know that I was confused.

“What do you mean?” I asked him.

I don’t know if Killian is still in denial or if he just couldn’t accept the truth right now.

I thought he had already accepted that Astrid was dead. We just saw her memorial service going on and even her ashes were there. What evidence does he need for him to believe that Astrid is dead?

“I think Drystan is hiding something from us. There is definitely something going on that we had to find out,” Killian answered making my brows furrow.

Drystan doesn’t seem to be acting strange earlier. Although, it’s normal for Killian to think that Drystan is acting strange because he doesn’t know one thing.

Killian doesn’t know that I sent werewolves to kill Astrid. I also imprinted the Silvermoon Pack’s mark on their paws to frame Killian so they would think that Killian was the person behind Astrid’s attack.

The reason why I insisted on coming with Killian is to make sure that Killian and Drystan won’t find out that I’m the person behind Astrid’s attack.

Before Drystan could tell Killian that he sent his men to kill Astrid, I interrupted them and revealed my pregnancy to change the conversation which actually worked.

Thankfully, Killian agreed to bring me along and I was able to keep everything a secret.

“What makes you think that Astrid is still alive?” I asked him.

“As I have said earlier, Astrid is my mate. My wolf and I will know if she’s dead. My wolf could still feel a faint connection with Astrid’s wolf. For sure, she’s still alive,” Killian insisted.

“I thought Drystan had explained this already. His mate also died. He knows what it feels to have your mate taken suddenly,” I replied.

Things would be easy if Killian just accepted that Astrid is already dead and is never coming back. In that way, it would be easy for me to replace her in Killian’s life.

However, it would be far more dangerous to believe that Astrid is dead when she’s not. It’s better to be sure that I have gotten rid of her for good this time.

Killian scoffed. “What Drystan said is a lie. As an Alpha, we don’t get confused so easily. Even if we are in denial, we know it. Doesn’t it seem strange to you that Astrid is already inside an urn? Unless I see her body, I won’t believe that she’s dead.”
