SWNOVELS Chapter 77: Her Happiness
Giselle's POV
I sat perched on the edge of my bed, a warm ceramic mug cradled in my hands as I gazed down, stirring my morning tea with a serene smile playing on my lips.
Speaking of teas, I have just dropped a very hot and fresh one for Drystan and Astrid. The hot tea that I exposed about them had already circulated around all the Packs
I took a deep breath as I felt more happy and relaxed. Today, the world seems brighter, and the air is sweeter since everything has turned in my favor.
My plans had succeeded at last. I could feel the thrill of accomplishment coursing through my veins, mingling with the comforting aroma of my freshly brewed tea.
Finally, I could enjoy the scenic view of the Packhouse's garden through my window in silence. The Pack members had finally stopped their protests, which gave me the peace that I needed.
As I allowed myself to relax and enjoy my triumph, my peaceful reverie was shattered in an instant.
Without warning, the door to her bedroom burst open, the force slamming against the wall.
Startled by the loud noise, my eyes widened in shock, and I jerked backward. In one fluid motion, the mug slipped from my grasp, the remaining tea sloshed over the rim, and spilled the front of my blouse. "What on earth-?" I gasped. The words got caught in my throat as I stared, bewildered, at the unexpected intruder.
"What have you done?!" Killian yelled at me angrily, making me flinch back in fear.
I swallowed hard as my heart pounded inside my chest when I felt the immense anger radiating off him. My skin had felt numb from the hot tea that scalded me as I faced Killian, who had a vicious snarl on his face.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked him calmly as I picked up the napkin to dab on my wet blouse.
"I know you're the one who did that, Giselle. There's no one else other than us who knew that Astrid and Drystan had an affair. It's impossible that my mother exposed that thing to someone," Killian snarled at me with his eyes narrowed into slits. My brows furrowed when I realized what he was getting angry at. "What's wrong with what I did?" I stood up and shot back at Killian without denying the truth.
So what if I did it? Why should he get angry about it?
"Is there something bad with what I did?" I retorted.
Killian's brows creased as his eyes widened in a silent, incredulous stare. The muscles in his neck strained as he struggled to process the words that had just spilled from my lips.
"What's wrong with what you did?" Killian repeated loudly. "Don't you even know what damage your words have caused?"
"Then tell me!" I roared at him as I dropped the towel and my empty mug of tea on the wooden table angrily.
"The Nightsong Pack suffered huge losses, and all the deals they had with other Packs were terminated because of you," Killian snapped at me.
I laughed at his words. "How is that our problem? How was that my fault?" I fired back at him.
I can't believe that he is getting angry because the Nightsong Pack got what they deserved.
"Isn't it true that Astrid cheated on you and had an affair with your Uncle while you were still married to her? Isn'it true that Astrid got herself pregnant with your Uncle and chose him over you? All I did was just tell the truth!" I shouted as I pointed a finger at him.
"Astrid had all the reasons to do those things!" Killian suddenly shouted, making my jaw fall in shock.
"Are you seriously justifying her affair?_"
"Astrid had suffered enough while she was with me, and because of you, she still couldn't be happy without me," Killian lashed out.
I stared at him incredulously. I can't
believe he is angry with what I did. "Shouldn't you be happy that Astrid and Drystan are getting what they deserve? They are suffering not because of my words. They are just suffering from the consequences of their actions. As an Alpha and a Luna, they should have thought about their Pack and their reputation first before having an affair."
Killian scoffed at my words. "Didn't we also have an affair, Giselle? Didn't I cheat on Astrid while we were still married? Do you think we should live miserable for that too?" My lips bobbed up and down like a fish, not knowing what to answer.
"Take back those words you said, Giselle. Tell everyone that what you said is not true," Killian demanded me.
My jaw fell open at his words. "I will never do that over my dead body."
"I mean it, Giselle. You tell everyone now, or I will tell the public the truth about our engagement party," Killian retorted.
"You wouldn't dare!" I exclaimed.
If I take back my words, what would that make me look like? Everyone hates me already. They would hate me more if they found out that I lied just to ruin Astrid's reputation.
"You shouldn't have attacked
Drystan and Astrid behind my back.
From now on, you should not do anything that can harm them. If I found out that you did something like this again, I wouldn't just hate you for it. I will make sure that you get punished according to your actions," Killian threatened before leaving my room.
