Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 229

Andros’s POV

I stared at Father in surprise when he announced that Astrid would be joining us for the briefing. This is a highly confidential meeting. Even Asha has never joined us here before.

She’s not even aware of our Pack's private operations. However, the Father is willing to spill all of our confidential operations to Astrid.

What does this mean? What are the father’s intentions really in bringing Astrid here?

“Thank you for welcoming me,” Astrid spoke firmly. Still, the flutter of nerves in her stomach is evident in her face.

Everyone is staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze as if weighing her in, but their father’s steady gaze on her encourages her to hold her ground.

I opened my mouth about arguing with my father about this matter when someone spoke up first behind me.

“Alpha, are you sure you are going to bring her into this?” One of our men questioned, his tone skeptical.

I held myself back, seeing that there was no need to oppose my father when everyone inside the room had already opposed him.

My father’s expression hardened slightly. “Astrid is my eldest child. She deserves to know about this. Also, I’ve seen her work; she has a lot of experience and an outstanding background. She will be a great help to us.”

I maintained my stoic expression as I digested my father’s words. She could be his eldest child, but she’s just an illegitimate child born out of wedlock. She has no right to be in here.

The tension in the room crackled, but Astrid straightened her shoulders, determined to prove herself. “I want to help,” she said, meeting our eyes around the table.

Everyone, including me, was unable to say a word. As long as it’s father who permits it, we have no right to question it.

My father gestured to our Shadowrunner, who stepped forward, his demeanor serious, in order to make a report.

The Shadowrunners are our Pack’s secret elite agents. These specialized warriors were strategically placed around the world, tasked with critical missions of monitoring rogue activities and sometimes gathering vital intelligence on rival Packs.

With their unmatched stealth and agility, they had infiltrated enemy territories, observing movements and assessing threats with keen eyes. All their reports flowed back to us, dealing with every nuance of rogue behavior and potential upheaval.

In addition to surveillance, they are also sometimes tasked with covert operations like sabotaging plans or rescuing those in peril.

As secret guardians of our territory, they stand ready to respond to crises, ensuring our Pack remains vigilant against the dangers that lurk around us, even though they don’t get the right recognition for their dangerous work.

The Shadowrunners were actually founded by my father when he became the Alpha.
