Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)
Chapter 36: Twist

Drystan's POV

I clenched my fists when I heard what my Beta had said. I've been trying to form an alliance with the Frostbite Pack for months, and now the Silvermoon Pack just suddenly swept in and stole them from us. I've been sending gifts and envoys to the Frostbite Pack to convince their Alpha. To be honest, our proposition is a good deal. It is even more beneficial to them than it is to us.

I just wanted to have a signed alliance with a high pack like them to stabilize our PackPack and strengthen our future projects.

We are just a small Pack who is just starting to establish ourselves in the werewolf community, but we are already getting trampled down without being given the chance for a fair fight.

Astrid sighed, making me look at her. I felt bad for her when I saw how her shoulders slumped and how she exasperatedly placed her forehead on her palm.

She must be blaming herself for this outcome again.

"Astrid "I was about to comfort her when my Beta spoke.

"Alpha, I think you should talk to your nephew. I think that's the only thing we can do to solve this problem."

I gritted my teeth when I heard his insensitive words. I know he only gave that suggestion because he was trying to help, but how could he say this in front of Astrid?

I know that Killian deliberately stepped in and offered an alliance with the Frostbite Pack because he knows that I have been trying to form an alliance with them. Astrid must have thought of this, too.

Since we are just a small Pack and the Silvermoon Pack is one of the most powerful Packs in this world, it's normal for the Frostbite Pack to accept the Silvermoon Pack's proposal for alliance.

"Why should we beg Killian to give us anything?" Astrid questioned, making the room fall eerily quiet. "Since they haven't signed anything yet, we still have the chance to turn things around."

"How?" My Beta rebutted. "There's no way the Frostbite Pack would choose us," Beta Caden shook his head.

"Have you forgotten that I was a Luna? When I was in the Silvermoon Pack, I didn't just handle our Pack'sPack's military; I was also in charge of our Pack relations." Astrid narrowed her gaze on me. "Give this task to me, Drystan. Let me visit the Frostbite Pack, and I promise you will be back with a signed contract with them."

"Even if you are capable of doing that, how would you be able to do it when everyone already thinks that you're dead?" Beta Caden rebutted.

"I will wear a disguise or something. I know Nova can come up with something." Astrid glared at my Beta.

"Please, Drystan, let me handle this," Astrid pleaded to me with squinted eyes

I averted her gaze. Didn't I promise her that I will keep her safe and protected in my PackPack forever? cannot agree with this. What if something bad happens to her there,

and would be too far to protect her.

"I'll bring Beta Caden with me if that would ease your worries." My eyes snapped to Astrid when I heard her words.

It's as if she could read my mind, but Caden?

"W-What?" Caden gasped out loud in surprise. I know why Caden is asking so many questions and trying to oppose Astrid; it is because he blames this misfortune on her.

"What do you say, Drystan?" Astrid questioned me, making me jump back from my thoughts.

"Y-You should bring Nova with you instead. I would feel more assured if you were with her," I answered in defeat.

Astrid beamed happily when she heard my answer, but I was not as happy as she was.

I've thought it long and well enough. If there's someone who can turn things around, it would only be Astrid.

I did not entirely agree with Astrid for that reason, know Astrid; if she's determined about something, she will never stop until she gets it. I

know that no words would evnet

change her mind. She would only be more desperate to get what she

wants.

If I had the power to choose, of course, I would rather just let her stay here; at least she would be safe in my PackPack and under my care.

"Thank you so much, Drystan. I swear, I'll have the contract signed when I'm back," Astrid beamed happily.

"You don't have to think about that. Just stay safe, okay. Take care of yourself, and don't forget that you're pregnant," I answered, which made her laugh.

"I can take care of myself, Drystan, and with Nova with me, nothing bad will happen," Astrid assured me.

I sighed in defeat. "I'm going to

inform the Frostbite Pack about your

visit then. I will only give you one

week, Astrid. After that, you can

come back with or without the

signed contract." en Narugi

"Agreed," Astrid answered confidently with a smirk.

The only reason why I'm just giving her a week is because I wanted to ensure her safety. I didn't expect that she would take this as a challenge instead.

"Go and meet with Nova for your disguise. I'll take care of the expenses. Keeping your identity secret is the top priority here, Astrid," I warned her.

"I know. You don't have to worry; I've never met anyone in Frostbite Pack before," she answered, making me feel less worried.
