Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 51

Astrid’s POV

Uneasiness crept up my body at the seriousness and heaviness of how he said those words. The way he said it makes it seem like he is hinting at something else.

Right now, I’m not ready for anything else. My wolf is sick, and I still have to find the cure; without that, I don’t even know how long I’m going to live. I don’t want to repeat the same pain that Drystan felt with his original mate.

Other than that, I’m also not ready to enter into any kind of relationship. After getting out of a toxic relationship, my heart is still not ready to open up again.

“Drystan,” I uttered his name to stop him from the next words he was about to say that I was not ready to hear yet.

I’ve always wondered why he is being so nice to me. He had done me a lot of favors without getting anything in return. I’m just a huge liability to him, yet he always kept me by his side.

I thought his actions were out of our friendship, but doubts shrouded my thoughts when he suddenly claimed my child as his in front of Killian.

At first, I pushed away all my doubts, but these… I think he is planning to confess something else.

“I’m not blind, Drystan, but…”

“Your child is still my grandchild,” Drystan spoke up, interrupting me from my words.

I suddenly turned confused when I heard a different answer from him.

“Since we are blood-related, I could act as a father to your child instead,” Drystan finished his sentence.

My mind went blank at his words, and then the tension in my body melted away when I finally understood what he was actually planning to say.

“Oh, of course,” I spoke enthusiastically as I let out a sigh of relief.

I clearly misunderstood things there. I should have known that there was no way Drystan would fall in love with me.

He is still Killian’s Uncle no matter what, and the child that I’m carrying is also his grandson. He would have found it disgusting to marry me. There’s no way he would have even a bit of a crush on me.

A knock on the door caught our conversation short.

“Alpha, the guests were looking for you.” Drystan sighed when he heard the omega’s report.

“Tell them that I’m coming shortly,” Drystan replied.
