Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 39

Astrid’s POV

Blood drained my face when I recognized Giselle’s familiar face. All along, the guest that Alpha Everest was waiting for was her. I would have never expected to see her again here.

“Alpha Everest, you didn’t say you also have other visitors.” I immediately turned my head around when her gaze fell on us.

‘What is she doing here?’ I wondered as my heart raced rapidly inside my chest.

“They have only just informed us that they were coming. I hope you don’t mind, Lady Giselle. Please meet Lady Nova and Lady Stella from the Nightsong Pack,” Alpha Everest pointed to us.

I couldn’t turn around my head to face her, in fear that she would immediately see through my disguise.

On the other hand, Nova didn’t say a word. She is not the type of person who can fake pleasantries to someone she doesn’t like.

“Lady Giselle is here as a representative for the Silvermoon Pack. She would stay here for a few days with us,” Alpha Everest saved the conversation when we showed no interest in talking to Giselle.

My heart twitched inside my chest when I heard Alpha Everest’s introduction. She’s here as the Silvermoon Pack’s representative, huh? They had already replaced me.

Isn’t that what I wanted? Why do I feel angry deep inside?

“They are from the Nightsong Pack? I’m glad to see someone who is related to our Pack,” Giselle said in a bubbly voice.

“Come join us eat, Lady Giselle. I’m sorry that we have eaten ahead. How was your travel?” Alpha Everest treated Giselle with utmost care as soon as she arrived.

He had forgotten about us and gave her his full attention, treating her with higher importance. This just shows how eager he is to sign an alliance with a powerful Pack like the Silvermoon Pack. This will make it hard for us to convince him to choose us.

I tried to hide my face as well as I could from Giselle’s sight. With my blonde hair, I’m sure she was not expecting me to be me, but of course, I couldn’t hide my face from her all day.

Alpha Everest even pulled out the chair for her. When she finally sat down and got a good look on my face, her face held the same reaction as mine earlier. Disbelief crossed her features, and anxiety coursed through her.

I maintained my calm expression and completely ignored her, pretending that I was too focused on eating the food.

“Stella, should we go to our room now?” Nova called my attention.

“Your name is Stella?” Giselle asked me with her eyes wide open.

I locked gazes with her and gave her a soft smile. “Yes,” I replied meekly.

Giselle questioningly gazed at me, doubting that I was telling the truth. I couldn’t blame her.

I’ve only bleached my hair blonde. I’m not wearing sunglasses, masks, or anything to cover some part of my face. It’s not like I undergo cosmetic surgery. Even those who got something done on their face would still be recognizable after.
