Chapter 85: Danger

Killian’s POV

Giselle took in a sharp breath when she heard my words. She blinked her eyes and shook her head, not wanting to accept this.

“N–No,” Giselle voiced out weakly as she looked at me pleadingly.

She tried to crawl her way towards me, but Damien held her back.

I felt embarrassed in front of Drystan and Damien, especially because he had to see us in such a state.

Alpha Damien had told me once before that even though Giselle was just an adopted member in his Pack, he used to see her often because she used to serve as an omega in their Packhouse.

Because of these, they knew each other and had gotten close. It’s only normal for him to feel bad for Giselle after seeing her lying poorly on the ground.

“If you want a DNA test, we will have to wait until the child is born. Do you really want to put our newly born child in danger just to confirm that you are the father?” Giselle questioned me.

Hooked at her emptily. I know that to have the confirmation that I wanted, we would need to wait, but I think that waiting is better than making a decision without the confirmation.

Drystan stood in silence beside us the whole time, just watching the scene unfold. He looked so puzzled as if he was trying to piece things together within his thoughts.

Alphal” As I was about to answer Giselle’s question, a Pack Warrior suddenly arrived in a hurry and chased his breath.

“We found a bracelet just outside the Pack borders, and it has traces of Astrid’s scent. I brought it here for you to see and confirm if it is hers.” The Pack Warrior spoke after bowing his head.

I was about to take the bracelet from his hand when Drystan grabbed it first.

“This is Astrid’s bracelet!” Drystan exclaimed instantly, right after taking a look at the bracelet.

I stole the bracelet from his hand to personally take a look, and

indeed, it was Astrid’s bracelet.

It was the bracelet that my mother tried to take from her before she left the Pack.

“I think Astrid is in danger since we found her bracelet outside our Pack borders.

Drystan’s eyes widened. “That can’t be. Why would she leave without us?”

“Tell all the Pack members to stop searching inside our Pack and focus their search outside instead.

“Yes, Alpha!” The Pack Warrior answered before shifting back to his wolf to relay my message.

“You had something to do with this, do you?” Drystan hissed as he slowly approached Giselle like a predator.

Giselle looked up at Drystan with fear in her eyes, unable to say anything. Before Drystan could corner Giselle, Damien blocked

Drystan’s path, separating him from Giselle.

Alpha Killian, are you not going to look for Astrid?” Damien shifted the attention to me as if he didn’t notice anything wrong with Drystan. “You can leave Giselle to me. I’ll take care of her,” Damien volunteered, giving Giselle a way to escape the tension.

I averted my gaze from them. “Bring her back to her room and call the Pack Doctor to check the health of the baby.”

Alpha Damien nodded his head before he stood up and carried Giselle in his arms.

Drystan continued to walk forward, attempting to chase after them, but I raised my hand to block his path.

Drystan glared at me angrily. “She’s clearly lying. I think she is hiding something from us.”

“We should just focus on looking for Astrid. We will gain nothing by staying here and chasing after empty leads,” I replied sternly before running forward and shifting into my wolf in the middle of my run.

I understand where Drystan’s anger and suspicions stem from, but it is still not right for him to accuse someone of something evil without any evidence.

Giselle could be a liar, but I don’t believe she would dare to try to harm Astrid. In the past, it was always Astrid who tried to harm Giselle, and she never retaliated.

erins I groaned weakly as I tried to move my arms, which only amplified the pain that I felt.

My eyes fluttered open as I slowly regained consciousness. Blinking away the haze, my eyes instantly widened, and dread crept up my spine when I found myself suspended high above the ground with my wrists bound tightly over my head.

My heart raced in panic as the terrifying realization set in – I was trapped, dangling precariously at least 50 feet in the air. “H–Help!“A strangled cry escaped my lips as I strained against the ropes binding me.

Fear overwhelmed me as I stared at the danger below me. I have no idea how long I’ve been hanging here unconscious. I’m feeling numbing pain across both of my arms. I also don’t know how long the rope that is keeping me from falling could hold me up.

I took deep breaths to calm myself down. Every frantic movement only intensified the pain in my arms, and even if I freed myself from the ropes, I would only fall to my death.

“Help me!” I cried out once again, hoping that someone would hear me.

I don’t know where I am, but I’m sure I’m no longer in the Silvermoon Pack.
