Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 42

Astrid’s POV

Our conversation ended when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Alpha Everest spoke wearily. He walked back to his office table to meet the guest.

“Alpha Everest!”

I raised my head when I heard Giselle’s voice.

“I heard what happened. How is your daughter? Are the guests from the Nightsong Pack all safe?” Giselle asked in an amicable voice as she walked to Alpha Everest’s table.

She still hasn’t noticed me here, sitting silently behind her in the corner of the room.

“Everyone is safe, Lady Giselle. You do not have to worry. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Giselle smiled and placed the papers she was holding on Alpha Everest’s table. “These are the papers for the alliance. I was hoping you could sign it now. Killian had informed me that you’ve already read and agreed to everything.”

Alpha Everest forced a smile on his face as he looked up at Giselle. “That’s true, but you’ve only just arrived. I haven’t mentioned it because I was hoping you could go around the Pack first.”

“Actually, I’m not planning to stay long. I’m pregnant, and it’s not good for me to get tired. It’s also so cold here. I’m not used to the cold,” Giselle spoke without shame.

Alpha Everest fell quiet. His eyes blinked as he stared at Giselle in disbelief. “I-I thought you wanted to come here for a visit?” Alpha Everest asked him confusedly.

“I did. Your Pack is such a wonderful place,” Giselle happily complimented out of nowhere when she saw how her words affected the Alpha.

“Killian and I will come here soon. We should surely visit this place once our baby is born,” Giselle smiled while caressing her baby bump.

“So you’re leaving?” Alpha Everest asked her again.

“N-Not yet,” Giselle shook her hands, but that was what she was planning earlier. “I just came here to have the papers signed early.” Giselle used her finger to push the paper closer to Alpha Everest.

Alpha Everest was quiet as his gaze pondered over the papers for a long time.

I pulled my eyes when he sighed and reached for his pen. Alpha Everest had already made his decision. I’ve tried my best to talk him out of it.

My heart felt heavy, thinking how much I would disappoint Drystan with the news. Nova would surely be angry with this outcome solely because Giselle won against us.

I know it’s not too late. I can just stand up and steal the pen from Alpha Everest’s hand, but I don’t want to be selfish. Alpha Everest is right. Choosing the Silvermoon Pack is the most logical decision.

Their Pack would benefit more from an alliance with an established Pack like the Silvermoon Pack.

“I’m sorry, Lady Giselle. I can’t.”

My eyes shot up to them when I heard Alpha Everest’s words. I watched as Alpha Everest placed back his pen inside his table drawer.
