Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)

Astrid's POV

I did not expect less from Giselle's engagement party. I knew that everything would be expensive and top-notch since she had invited me. There's no way she would invite me to her engagement party, which would be less than the one that I had.

The engagement party was held at the pack grounds, which was designed as a luxury event space. The decor is lavish and opulent, the place is swimming with fresh flowers, and for the catering, they are serving expensive champagne, fine wines, and special cocktails. The dinner menu featured gourmet, skillfully prepared dishes using the finest and freshest ingredients.

I couldn't help but think that Giselle used the Werewolf Assembly we hosted as her inspiration for her own engagement party.

The theme is the same, but the motif is slightly different.

"What is she doing here?"

"She even brought the man she chose to replace her husband to visit her ex-husband's engagement party."

Whispers grew from the crowd as soon as we entered the venue. I maintained a straight face as I felt the crowd's intense gazes looking at me.

It has always been like this. In an affair, it is always the woman who gets to be blamed. The men always get away with it like he was some poor guy seduced by a woman.

In this case, though, I'd rather have all the blame on myself. Drystan is innocent. He accepted the child as his just to protect me, and because of that, his Pack had to suffer huge losses.

"Don't mind them," Drystan whispered to us when he also noticed how the crowd was deliberately ignoring us as if we had an infectious disease.

Nova and Drystan insisted on coming with me to the engagement party even though I had told them not to come.

I could handle the confrontation on my own, but they insisted on coming with me to ensure my safety.

"I'm gonna go," I whispered to them.

I know the Silvermoon Pack like the back of my hand. I can make my way around the Pack to search for Giselle.

"I'm coming with you," Drystan grabbed my hand.

I shook his hand away from my arm before anyone could notice anything. I'm just going to talk to Giselle, and I'll be back in a few minutes. It would be better if we talk alone Drystan hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "Fine, if you take too long, I will come to search for you."

I nodded my head in agreement. "Nova, stay with Drystan," I told her before going on my own way. While no one was looking, I went to the Pack grounds and sneaked to the Packhouse to escape the guards. I've lived here for so many years, so I know how to enter the Packhouse without anyone noticing.

As soon as I entered, I fastened my footsteps and raced up the stairs quietly before anyone could catch me.

Omegas would always lurk in the hallways with cleaning tools in their hand, but because of the event, everyone was busy serving at the party outside, which made my paths clear The Pack guards are the only ones I needed to be wary of

I twisted the door open and sneaked inside Giselle's room. Once I was inside, I locked the door behind me before calling Giselle's attention. "Are you excited to get married?" I asked behind her back.

Giselle stood up in shock as she looked at me through her mirror before turning around to face me. "Astrid? What are you doing here?" She asked me calmly with a startled expression on her face.

"You must be two months in at your pregnancy," I commented as I stared at her Belly that is poking through her dress like mine. "You must know his gender already?-"

"It's a boy," Giselle answered immediately. "The Silvermoon Pack is having their future Alpha."

"I see," I muttered. "Killian is having two sons then."

Giselle's eyes widened in surprise. "You are having a son?"

I smiled as I placed a hand over my belly. "That's right. I'm carrying Killian's son. Why don't you seem surprised about that?" I questioned her.

She looked more surprised that I'm having a son than finding out that my child is Killian's

Giselle blinked before collecting herself together and scoffing in disbelief. "I don't believe you," she replied.

I chuckled at her words. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I can always provide proof about my child's paternity anytime Killian asks for it.

I can have DNA tests if he wants.

Giselle fell speechless at my words, and she didn't look confident anymore.

"How about you? Can you provide proof that Killian is the father of the child that you are carrying?"

"W-W-What?!" Giselle stuttered badly. "Killian is the father of my child! Who else would it be?"

I smirked upon seeing her flustered reaction. "I was just asking."

I only questioned her child's father just to rile her up. I didn't expect that she would react so badly.

Giselle clenched her jaw in anger. "What are you doing here? What do you want?" Giselle demanded.

"You know what I want!" I retorted. "Take back everything you said and clean our name," I demanded from her.

Giselle raised an eyebrow at me. "I never said anything. It was Killian who exposed your affair."
