Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 64

Giselle’s POV

The Pack Doctor’s brows furrowed as he fixed his gaze upon me. His lips parted slightly as if the words he wished to convey had become momentarily lodged in their throat.

I knew what he was thinking. That look of judgment in his eyes is all too familiar to me. Yet, he didn’t say anything. He knew that one word out of his mouth, then I might just well kill him now to hide my dark secret.

So, with hesitation in his eyes and a heavy weight in his heart, he slowly lowered his head before me in surrender.

“Y-Yes, Luna,” he stammered as he forced out his words.

Hearing the tremble in his voice, I was not fully convinced that he would be trusted with my secret.

However, I had no choice; he is a Doctor, and even if I kill him, someone is going to replace him and find out about the real gender of my child.

I need a Doctor that I could trust and work for me to hide the identity of my child.

I need to gain his trust and make sure he won’t betray me.

“Good,” I muttered beneath my breath.

He pursed his lips together in fear.

“I am a very generous person, Doctor. As long as you keep up the good work, I can help you with your career. You won’t only be the best Doctor in this Pack, but you might be a renowned specialist to all Packs and even a famous doctor to the humans.”

His eyes brightened as my words filled his imagination. He swallowed hard as he thought about my tempting offer.

“Why don’t you call the others? They must have been waiting anxiously for me outside. Why don’t we tell them the good news you have right now? ” I suggested, steeling him out of his thoughts.

The Pack Doctor vigorously nodded his head and did as I said. They have been waiting patiently for me outside, and the Pack Doctor only had to poke his head out the door to call them inside.

“Giselle, are you all right?” Victoria approached me instantly after she first entered the room.

I forced out a cough as I lay weakly on the bed. “I’m feeling much better now,” I muttered weakly as I forced out a weak smile.

Victoria’s brows bent down in pity as soon as she saw my state. “You need to rest more, Giselle. Take care of yourself. The baby needs you to be healthy in order to survive,” Victoria replied, still caring only about the baby.

This is the reason why they should not know I'm having a daughter. It will change everything once that happens.

I glanced at Killian and forced a smile towards his way as he stood up behind his mother. My breath hitched when Damien suddenly appeared behind Killian.

I thought he had left already. What is he doing here?
