Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Confrontation



Astrid's POV

All of us sat at a loss in Drystan's office when we heard the losses that the Pack had suffered because of something that was not even real.

Drystan was reluctant to tell me anything. It was Caden who answered all my questions when I demanded it from him.

Apparently, all of the Packs who made an agreement with us after the Werewolf Assembly had changed their minds and wanted to pull back their partnership with us.

Only Alpha Everest from the Frostbite Pack didn't turn back on his words.

I pursed my trembling lips as tears stung the back of my eyes. All of these things wouldn't have happened if it wasn't because of me.

The Nightsong Pack suffered losses just so Drystan could protect me and my child from Killian.

Drystan's reputation was ruined because of me. With the huge losses that we suffered and without any packs who wanted to help us, the Nightsong Pack wouldn't last, and we would be in danger of disbanding soon.

Drystan worked hard to build this Pack from scratch, but because of me, he is going to lose everything that he worked hard for.

"It's okay, Astrid. I can figure things out. You don't have to blame yourself for this. I will find a way to turn things around," Drystan assured me, even with the amount of problems that were pulling him down right now.

I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to pull myself together and keep my tears inside the back of my eyes. Because of these hormones, I couldn't pull myself together.

"From now on, you can let me handle the calls, Drystan. I will talk to everyone who wants to cancel their agreements with you," I offered since this is the only thing that I can do to lessen the burden I have caused them.

"I can't allow that, Astrid. Those Alphas are rude, and you are pregnant. Their words would only stress you out. I cannot let you deal with them," Drystan retorted.

I sighed as my hand instinctively reached out to my belly. "Then let me handle the materials that should have been delivered instead. I will find a Pack that is willing to take them so we can lessen our losses."

“We should be thinking about the long-term effects instead. If this continues, our Pack won't be able to sustain itself on its own. We can't continue patching up things," Beta Caden spoke with his eyes on me.

Unlike Drystan, who covers up things from me, Caden is very transparent. He is not cautious with his words when he speaks to me. I'm glad that he is honest and straightforward.

"Don't worry, I already have something in mind for now. As of now, we just need to do our best to patch things up and lessen our losses to the best of our ability," I answered him.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I glanced at Nova, who had been quiet all this time. Ever since we entered the room, she's been silent. I stared at her hands that gripped the hem of her shirt tightly. Her eyes were empty as she stared straight at nothing.

She must be worrying about the state of the Pack.

"What are you going to do?" Drystan asked me.

Before I could give him an answer, someone knocked at the door, interrupting our conversation.

"Alpha, we received an invitation from the Silvermoon Pack," The Omega spoke from the doorstep.

My jaw shifted when I heard Pack's name mentioned.

Beta Caden stood up to grab the invitation from the Omega. We all watched in wait as he opened the door to read the invitation. "Throw it away. You don't have to read it for us," Drystan spoke.

"No, I have to hear it," I argued.

Drystan sighed in defeat. He knows whatever this is about, and I will find out sooner or later, so it's best for me to know it now.

“Alpha Killian and Giselle are engaged. They are inviting us for their engagement party," Caden announced after reading the contents of the invitation. "Engagement party?" Drystan's brows furrowed. "Last time, I received a wedding invitation from them."

"You received a wedding invitation, yet you didn't tell me?" I raised an eyebrow at Drystan.

Drystan leans back to his chair, avoiding my gaze. "It doesn't matter. We are not going there anyways."

"Why shouldn't we? After what Killian did to us, we have to pay them a visit," I replied.

It was a cheap shot for Killian to do this. He knew exposing this wouldn't just ruin Drystan and my reputation. It could also ruin the lives of all the members of the Nightsong Rack.

I couldn't believe that he would do something like this. I thought too highly of him. I never thought he would do something like this out of spite.

He even said that we were even before he left, but he did something that I would hate about him again.

I needed to go back to the Silvermoon Pack and fix things with him. They needed to disprove the rumor that they had started

"The last time we saw Killian, I told

him that I'm cutting off any relationship.I have with him. I even told him to stay away from you and not to show himself to us anymore. Why should we do the opposite and go there to witness his engagement party?" Drystan retorted.

"Didn't he also say we were even, yet he did something like this? He is the one who broke his words first," I argued.

Drystan shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I can't let you be involved in Killian's life again."

"Enough!" Nova stood up and yelled, surprising all of us.

"You care too much about Astrid,

Drystan. What about us? What about you? Are you going to let your reputation and your Pack get ruined" Nova asked Drystan as she tried to knock some sense in him.

“Just allow Astrid to do what she wants. Everyone will suffer if we do not confront them," Nova spoke exasperatingly, leaving no room for Drystan's disapproval.
