Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)

A FEW YEARS AGO....

At the Crimsonbane Pack

Giselle's POV

It was by accident when I found out that Damien was secretly the Alpha of the Crimsonbane Pack.

At that time, I was working as an omega at the Crimsonbane Pack's Packhouse. As a newly adopted member, I needed to start low in the ranks.

I was demoted to the lowest position. I had to clean around the Packhouse and do menial work as the Packhouse's Omega.

When I was living at the Silvermoon Pack, I was never treated as a servant. We are way higher than omegas and even above the average werewolves. You could say we are the Pack's nobles without official titles. Since I was born into the Silvermoon Pack, I had my own privileges. However, I lost all of that when I was exiled and turned into a rogue.

I could only say that I'm still lucky that I didn't stay as a rogue for a long time. It would be much better to become a Packhouse's omega than to be a lone rogue without any friends and without a pack that can provide for me. Although I lost all my privileges, everything that I had was removed from me. There was one thing they would never be able to take away from me, and that was my beauty and my power.

Although I worked as a rogue, they can never deny that my wolf's strength is still above average.

I could be a slave doing menial jobs, but they can never take away my wolf's power. My wolf can force weaker werewolves than me to bare their neck and lower themselves down into submission.

As for my beauty, the moment I became an official member of the Crimsonbane Pack, I was instantly popular.

Men from different statuses were all entranced by my beauty. Damien, in particular, is the person who really fell hard for my beauty and charm. Wherever I went, he followed me around.

He was always concerned with my well-being and always did things to make me happy.

At first, I did not like him, even with his charisma and handsome face. I would marry an old raisin man as long as he is rich and powerful, but I would never marry a poor man just for his looks and even character. Little did I know that Damien was actually the prince charming that I was looking for, someone who would save my life and take me out of the miserable life that I was living.

While I was cleaning the Packhouse's hallway, I noticed that the office of Alpha Julian, Vanessa's father, was slightly ajar.

I peeked in out of curiosity without any expectations in me, only to see Damien and Alpha Julian talking to each other.

Curious about what they were talking about, I eavesdropped on their conversation. Damien is just a mere Pack Warrior, and I was surprised when I saw how close he and the Alpha looked.

As I listened to their conversation, I finally found out Damien's true identity. My jaw just fell open in shock. I felt so stupid that I didn't even recognize Damien as the real Alpha the whole time.

I felt regretful because I avoided him, and I always pushed him away, not knowing that he was the guy that I was actually looking for.

My jaw just fell open when I found out that Damien is the Alpha and Vanessa's father was only filling that position for him.

From then on, I started to act nicer towards Damien and gave small hints that I also liked him back.

I've been through this before with Killian. With my experience, I knew exactly what to do to make him fall hard for me.

All this time, he had no idea that I knew about his secret. He thought I fell in love with him for who he is as a being.

I acted that I was in shock and disbelief when Alpha Julian finally announced to the whole Pack that Damien is the real Alpha of the Crimsonbane Pack and that he is going to ascend as the Alpha soon now that he is ready to take the title

after gaining his experience.

In order to not arouse any suspicion from Damien, I even pretended that I was angry at him for hiding such a huge and important thing about his identity.

I gave him a hard time, and he chased after me, asking for my forgiveness and giving me an explanation without knowing that I was planning to forgive him in just a few days.

On the day I was about to forgive him, he prepared a special surprise for me. I will never forget that night when he called me out to the forest through the sweet, handwritten letter that he made for me.

When I arrived, Damien surprised me

I

with a romantic date. He was

holding a flower in his hand, soft lights shimmered in the background, and a table that was just for the both of us stood at the center with flower petals scattered all around.

The moon was there as a witness when Damien promised me that he would reject whoever his mate was and make me his Luna. He swore by the moon's name that he would never break his promise, and I believed him with all my heart. I believed that I would be his wife. I believed that I'd become the Crimsonbane Pack's Luna, but I shouldn't have relied only on his words.

From then on, I realized how things could happen quickly. I learned that words alone shouldn't be trusted. I should have pushed for the title when I got the chance.

The lesson I learned was to never waste my chances. If a man promised to make me his Luna, I should demand it.

The Luna title isn't just a position

that is given. You have to work hard

for it. I learned that lesson the hard way. That's why I took my chances, used all available opportunities and forced myself to become the Silvermoon Pack's Luna.
