Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 335

Alpha Theron’s POV

Andros scoffed, his disbelief clear as he tilted his head back. “You are choosing Astrid over me?” he spat out.

“You’re going to make her the crowned Luna of this Pack? It’s only been three years since you met her, and you think she’s worthy of this title?

What do you think Asha would say? Astrid isn’t even your legitimate child!”

I met his gaze, my own expression resolute. “Astrid has proven herself capable.

She’s been our acting Beta for three years and led as the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack for five years before that.

She has the qualities, the skills, and the strength needed to lead. In terms of ability, Andros, she does her job far better than you.”

Andros’s fists clenched, his expression darkening with insult and rage. “This is madness! The Pack won’t accept it!

My mother is your true mate and the Luna of this Pack. Giving your position to someone who isn’t her child is an insult to her legacy and to this Pack!”

I took a step forward, my voice unwavering. “I am the Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack, Andros, and that means I put the well-being of this Pack above all else — above tradition, above sentiment, and even above you.

If ensuring the Pack’s safety means breaking a few rules, ignoring a few customs, then so be it.

My duty is to protect this Pack, even if it means defying expectations. And when I’m gone, I need to know that the Pack is in capable hands.”

He glared at me, his pride and fury simmering, but I held his gaze, showing him that my decision was final.

Andros’s glare intensified, his voice laced with frustration and a bitterness I hadn’t seen in him before.

“What makes you so certain she’s better than me, Father?” he demanded, taking a step forward, his gaze hard and unyielding.

“You honestly believe this Pack will be safe under her rule? Astrid is a monster, and putting her in charge is no different from handing the Pack over to its own destruction. You’re not securing its future — you’re endangering it!”

I felt a surge of anger at his words, but I kept my expression steady. Andros continued, his voice rising, a mix of desperation and disbelief.

“How can you possibly trust her over me? She’s only been here for three years — just three years — and you think she understands this Pack, its history, its people?

I was born into this Pack. I know it, I know our people, I know what they need! I’ve trained my entire life for this!”

He clenched his fists tighter, his knuckles white as he struggled to contain his fury. “You keep talking about safety, about protecting the Pack, but don’t you see? Astrid is dangerous!
