Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 45

Killian’s POV

“What could have possibly gone wrong?!” I yelled out loud and slammed my fist on the table, making Giselle flinch in her seat.

I gave her the simplest task, and yet she still managed to ruin it. Our alliance with the Frostbite Pack is already a close deal. She just needed to get Alpha Everest’s signature to make things official.

I don’t understand how she managed to fuck things up.

“Don’t yell at her, Killian, she’s pregnant!” My mother scolded me as she softly caressed Giselle’s back to comfort her.

“Just relax, Giselle, okay? Stress is never good for the baby.” My mother’s brows knitted together as she spoke to Giselle in worry.

I clenched my jaw in anger as I watched how my mother consoled Giselle and how Giselle enjoyed my mother’s company.

She even dragged my mother into this, knowing that she would defend her and take her side. She couldn’t even face me on her own and own up to her mistakes.

Giselle had just returned from her trip yesterday. I was waiting for her to report to me and submit the signed alliance papers, but I was told that Giselle was so sick from the trip that the Pack Doctor even had to check on her.

I waited for her to get healed, but when it was time for her to report things to me, she even brought my mother with her.

“What are we supposed to do now? Don’t you know how beneficial this alliance would be for the future of our Pack?! I worked hard to make Alpha Everest agree to unite with us. It took me a lot of convincing to change his mind, but you ruined it in the end!” I pushed my office chair in anger.

“Calm down, Killian. You’re fretting too much,” my mother looked at me like I was overreacting. “Losing this deal is barely our loss. It’s the Frostbite Pack who lost such a good opportunity to ally with us. What good would it be if we ally with a Pack that is too far from us?”

“There are better Packs out there that you should be thinking of forming an alliance with. Take the Shadowfang Pack as an example. You shouldn’t be wasting your time with the other Packs. Think of a plan on how we can get the Shadowfang Pack to ally with us,” my mother lectured.

The Shadowfang Pack is the most powerful Pack in existence. They are so powerful that they refuse to ally with anyone because they could sustain their own Pack.

With their precious Luminite, their future is already ensured. It would be a dream to partner with them, a far-fetched dream at that.

“Even so, it’s humiliating that a small Pack declined an alliance with us? What would the other Packs think of us?” I shot back at my mother, which she couldn’t answer
