Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 185

Astrid’s POV

I was just silently eating when Andros suddenly broke the silence. “You know, Astrid,” Andros spoke, catching my attention.

“Father has been telling me a lot about you recently. He couldn’t stop giving you praises for the job you have done as the Pack’s acting Beta,” he tells me casually, with his voice tinged with a hint of pride.

I felt a surge of surprise when his words washed over me. I wasn’t expecting my brother to talk to me and even compliment me.

Andros had always been out of Pack. He only comes back once a year and leaves as soon as he arrives.

The first time that we met, we did not leave a good impression on each other either. I didn’t expect that he would mention something like this in front of everyone.

I thought he also felt the same way as his sister towards me. I thought he also hated me, but I was surprised that he initiated to talk to me.

Alpha Theron suddenly laughed in glee and pride when he heard his son’s words. “That’s true,” he confirmed as he glanced at me.

When I glanced back at him, he met my gaze steadily. “The Pack flourished under your leadership, you know. Everyone could see how dedicated and capable you are.”

I glanced down at my food, not used to getting compliments. I did not know what to say, and I felt uncomfortable being placed under the spotlight.

When I was a Luna, I never got any praise or compliments for doing a great job. No matter what I did, Killian and his mother would always find faults in me. I was never good enough for them.

I would bring in good results, and they would never be satisfied with it.

As I thought of what to say, my eyes instinctively landed on Asha, who had been terribly silent the whole time. I watched as she took a sip of her drink and stuffed down her food with disdain on his face.

“It’s really a good thing that you were here to keep things running, Astrid. Just imagine how hard would it be for father if he had to work for three years without a Beta,” Andros paused, his expression sobering slightly. “We’re lucky to have you, Astrid.”

Asha suddenly scoffed, unable to keep her silence anymore. “With or without her, the Shadowfang Pack would do just fine. You are exaggerating what she did,” she spoke with a scowl as she poked at her food.
