Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 255

Giselle’s POV

Silent rage coursed through my veins as I strode through the hall, each step punctuated by the sharp click of my heels against the polished floor. The sound echoed, amplifying my frustration with every stride.

Ryker’s nanny followed closely behind, her head bowed in submission. She clasped her hands tightly together, but still, they trembled, unable to suppress her fear.

When I arrived in front of my private room, I flung the door open, the impact resonating as it clashed loudly against the walls as I stormed inside.

The Omegas cleaning my room flinched, their eyes widening in surprise. As my frustration bubbled over, they quickly took the hint.

They scurried away with their heads hung low, bringing their cleaning equipment with them like they had seen nothing.

Once the last Omega slipped out, Ryker’s nanny shut the door behind us, her movements hurried and cautious.

Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees, her voice trembling as she begged, “Please forgive me, Luna. I didn’t mean for this to happen.”

I spun around, the heat of my anger boiling over as my hand connected with her cheek, the sharp crack of the slap reverberating through the room. She gasped in surprise, collapsing to the ground, her eyes wide with disbelief.

My jaw tightened as I glared down at her, fury igniting in my chest. “You only have one job!” I shouted, venom lacing my words as I pointed a finger at her, each accusation dripping with disdain. “How could you let Ryker out of your sight?!”

Trembling, she moved back into position, her forehead touching the floor in a desperate plea for mercy. “Luna, I failed in my duty. Please punish me as you see fit.”

“Since when did Ryker and Astrid become close?” I snapped, my voice rising with anger.

“Sir Ryker and Miss Astrid only met once by chance in the garden. Astrid tried to connect with Ryker, but Ryker did not even respond to her questions. I didn’t put much thought into it to think it necessary to pay attention,” she replied, her words muffled against the floor.

“I told you to keep Ryker away from Astrid, didn’t I?” I yelled, my frustration boiling over. “Why didn’t you inform me about their encounter in the garden? If you had told me, we could have avoided this!”
