Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 44

Astrid’s POV

I got a wide smile on my face as I hopped out of the car. Nova and I had just arrived back at the Nightsong Pack.

Drystan gave me a week to have the alliance papers signed. Guess what? Only a day was needed for me to get his signature. I’m sure he would be surprised to find out about my achievement.

I knock on Drystan’s office before twisting the door open and inserting my head in. I beamed at Drystan, whose head was burrowed in papers.

I’m so excited to tell him the news, but he still hasn’t realized who is at his door right now.

“Who is it?” Drystan slowly raised his head. When he saw my face all the exhaustion in his face vanished, replaced with the joy of seeing me.

“Astrid, you’re back!” Drystan stood up from his seat and rushed towards me.

I entered his office and closed the door behind me. “Look at what I got,” I showed the papers to him.

Drystan’s jaw fell open when he saw Alpha Everest’s clear signature. He snatched the paper from me and looked at Alpha Everest’s signature in disbelief.

“H-How did you do it?” He asked in surprise.

I pouted. “You thought I couldn’t do it?”

Drystan’s brows furrowed, and he shook his head in denial when he heard the disappointment in my voice.

I sighed. “I know you thought I couldn’t do it. It doesn’t matter though because I won.” I grinned. “From now on, you should delegate some of your tasks to me. I would have volunteered to be your Pack’s trainer, but I’m pregnant, so you could just let me handle some paperwork instead.”

Drystan smiled when he heard my words. He looked just happy to have me. I averted my graze from him when I felt uncomfortable with his intense stare.

“Why don’t you look happy?” I questioned him.

The way he looks at me is like he’s hiding something bad from me.

Drystan sighed and moved his gaze forward. “While you were gone. I received a news from the higher ups,” he spoke in a low voice.

My eyes squinted slightly. What is the news all about that would make him feel this upset?

“Our Pack is chosen to host this year’s werewolf assembly,” Drystan broke out the news, sending me back.

“W-What?” I slumped on the couch when I felt my whole body weaken.

The werewolf assembly is exactly what it sounds like. It is an assembly where all leaders of different Packs gather in one place to promote harmony and unity between separate Packs.
