Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)

Nova's POV

"No, I haven't seen her. I just saw Giselle earlier, and she wasn't with her," Killian answered us, his brows furrowed as well.

Drystan turned alarmed when he heard Killian's answer. "What do you mean? Astrid had left for almost an hour ago. We were waiting for her to come back. She said she's going to talk to Giselle first before meeting you." I glanced at Drystan and Killian back and forth as worry etched itself across their face.

"Astrid will be fine. She used to live in this Pack. She's not going to get lost," I joined into their conversation to ease their worries.

We are inside the Silvermoon Pack, which is one of the most secure Packs in the world. What bad thing could happen to Astrid inside this Pack?

However, Drystan didn't listen to me. He stood up with an alarmed expression on his face.

"Nova, stay here. I'm going to look for Astrid," Drystan excused himself as he stood up and left before I could say anything.

Killian also followed Drystan as he also felt worried about her. I was left alone at our table without any say about it.

Astrid did say that we were allowed to come and look for her if she didn't come back early.

I sat back on my chair as I fought the urge to chase after Drystan and join him in the search.

I clenched and unclenched my fists as my heart started to race anxiously, not sure if I should continue with my plans or not.

Astrid said she has a plan on how she could fix everything and restore Drystan's reputation, but I don't feel confident about that.

I know that there's no way Giselle would go in front and announce to everyone that she was wrong.

There's no way Giselle would take back everything that she said since it was her goal to ruin Astrid's reputation and destroy our Pack.

I looked around to see who else was around. Drystan and Killian had just left, and Giselle was nowhere to be found.

All I could see were the guests and the Pack guards. Everyone important has left.

I took a deep breath as I stood up to gather myself. I believe this is a sign. With everybody gone, it's the perfect time for me to go to the stage and take everything into my own hands.

My sister and I only had each other in our entire lives. Since our parents died young, my sister and I only relied on each other, but it was I who mostly relied on her.

Before, it used to be just my sister and me until Drystan came along.

Drystan became my sister's pillar. He provided her every support that she needed, the same way my sister had provided for me.

Just like how my sister and I always watched out for each other. It is also my duty to watch out for Drystan, especially since he took it as his role to watch over me ever since my sister died. Astrid is my friend, and she is important to me, but Drystan is important to me too.

I couldn't stand to see him getting wronged like this. Drystan is getting all the hate just so he can protect Astrid.

Astrid is my friend, and I wanted to protect her too, but I can't let Drystan suffer like this just for her

I need to do this for Drystan and our Pack. I'm sure Astrid will understand my decision.

"E-excuse me," I stammered as I walked to the stage, grabbed the microphone in the middle, and spoke in front.

My grip on the microphone tightened when the whole room fell silent, and all heads turned to look at me.

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, not expecting to see me.

Gathering the bit of courage that I had, I cleared my throat and continued to go on.

I need to do this for Drystan.

"I'm sure you all have heard about the rumor that Drystan, the Alpha of the Nightsong Pack, had an affair with Astrid, who is the newest member of our Pack." Everyone's attention heightened as they waited for what I was about to say

regarding the topic.

"I just want everyone to know that Drystan and Astrid never had an affair with each other. It's not true that Drystan impregnated Astrid. The father of the child that Astrid is carrying right now is none other than Killian." That's it, the truth is out.

Astrid will get angry at me for exposing the truth, I know. She doesn't want anyone to know the real father of her child because she doesn't want to be connected in any way with Killian.

I'm sorry that I didn't wait for her and trusted her enough when she said that she had a plan and she was going to fix anything.

I believe that letting the truth out is the best way to handle this situation. The truth is something that we cannot all avoid.

"Since you are all here to attend this

engagement party, I'm sure that it's because you support Killian's wedding with the woman that he cheated with," I continued to talk on stage since no one was there to make me stop.

"Astrid is pregnant, and Killian is the father. Astrid never cheated, but Killian did the fake news about Astrid and Drystan's affair must have also come from them. I think I have nothing more else to say. It's alkup to you to judge and decide Who to support."
