Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 212

Astrid’s POV

I almost choked in surprise when I heard Vanessa’s words. I was just about to take a sip from my glass of wine when Vanessa blatantly said those words without even a bit of fear in her.

I chuckled softly as I took the table napkin in front of me and softly dabbed my lips clean.

I had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time. I remained close to their table, just near enough to hear what everyone was saying without them noticing me.

I was curious. I wanted to find out what their relationship with each other was, and now I finally found the answer that I was looking for.

It turns out I was right; Giselle used to live in the Crimsonbane Pack, which means she had a connection with Damien and Vanessa. However, there’s something off between them.

There is certainly that hostility and tension going on between them, and judging by Vanessa’s words just earlier, Giselle must have done something bad in the Crimsonbane Pack for Vanessa to hate her that much.

I just wonder what that is.

“Autism is a complex neurological condition, and it’s never anyone’s fault,” Giselle answered in a calm voice, which surprised me.

When did Giselle ever feel calm after receiving an insult? Giselle is a person who has never backed down to anyone. She’s someone that you cannot mess with.

Yet, she was able to deflect Vanessa’s insults just now without even feeling aggrieved about it.

My back straightened when something clicked in my head. I think Giselle had finally found her match.

She was so ruthless when it came to me, but to Vanessa, she couldn’t even give her a comeback.

The moment that Giselle’s eyes landed on Vanessa and Damien, I already sensed something different about her. She looked more afraid and fragile before them as if they could devour her at any moment.

I’ve seen Giselle’s ruthless and unforgiving side, but this is the first time I saw her feeling uneasy and unconfident. It’s as if Vanessa and Damien had power over her.

Whatever that is, I’m sure it has something to do with the time when Giselle used to live at the Crimsonbane Pack.

It looks like Killian is unaware of it, or else he would have been too ashamed to call Giselle to meet the Alpha and Luna of the Crimsonbane Pack.

He would also be out of his mind to dare entertain the idea of his son and their daughter becoming mates in the future.

If Killian only had an inkling that there’s tension between them, he would have never mentioned his idea of uniting their Packs together through marriage.
