Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 295

Giselle’s POV

The panic that had been a performance just moments ago twisted into something real, sharp and icy, sinking its claws deep into my chest.

My breath caught in my throat, and I felt my control slipping away. The shock that Hazel was missing struck me like a physical blow, making my head spin and my vision blur.

This wasn't supposed to happen. Not Hazel. Not my daughter.

The faces around me blurred as I staggered backward, the weight of the situation pressing down on me like a physical force.

The whispers and murmurs of the crowd became a distant hum, overshadowed by the pounding of my heart in my ears.

Through the haze of panic, I saw movement at the edge of the clearing. Killian and Damien had finally arrived.

Their expressions were grim and alert as they walked through the crowd, scanning the faces of their pack members for signs of distress.

Killian stepped forward, his presence commanding immediate attention. He raised a hand to signal for silence, and the murmur of anxious conversations gradually faded.

“Everyone, please listen,” he called out, his voice steady but filled with urgency. “I want to apologize for the confusion and fear that the rogue attack has caused. We are aware of the situation, and I assure you, we have everything under control.”

A wave of relief washed over the crowd, but apprehension lingered in the air.

Killian continued, his tone firm. “Our warriors are ready to protect everyone and to fight the rogues. We will not let the rogues harm anyone here. You are safe within these grounds.”

At his side, Damien stepped forward, his demeanor equally reassuring.

“My warriors are fighting alongside the Silvermoon Pack’s warriors,” he announced, his voice booming with confidence. “We stand united against any threat. You have nothing to worry about.”

The tension in the crowd began to ease as murmurs of agreement rippled through the pack members.

A few people nodded, exchanging glances that reflected their growing trust in their Alphas.

Without thinking, I propelled myself forward, breaking into a run as I closed the distance between us.

"Killian!" I cried out, my voice cracking with genuine fear.

I grabbed his arm, my fingers digging into the fabric of his sleeve. "Killian, you have to help me! You need to send your warriors immediately.”

He turned to me, surprise flashing in his eyes. "Giselle? What's happening? The guards reported a rogue attack. Where's Ryker?"

For a moment, I stared at him, my mind blank. Then the words tumbled out in a rush. "It's Hazel—she's missing! She's out there somewhere, and the rogues—they might have her!"

Killian blinked, confusion clouding his features. "Hazel? What are you talking about? Giselle, Ryker is missing too. Our son is out there!"

Before I could say a word, Vanessa stepped forward and hurried into Damien’s arms.
