Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian)
Chapter 61: Self-Harm

Giselle's POV

Damien looked at me in disbelief as if I had just done a heinous crime he never thought I was capable of doing.

There are a lot of things he doesn't know about me, and a lot of things have changed ever since left me. He has no right to look at me with judgment in his eyes when he is the reason why I'm in a desperate situation right now. Damien shook his head like he wasn't able to stomach my lies anymore. "I'm going to tell Killian about this, whether you like it or not. Killian deserves to know the truth. It's up to him if he still wants to marry you after that or not." Damien walked forward with a determined look in his eyes, but I rushed forward and grabbed his arm to hold him.

"Please, Damien don't tell him. Don't do this to me, please," my voice croaked as I begged him in a whisper.

I tightened my hold around his arm, my fingers digging under his sleeves.

Everything would be over once Killian and his mother found out the truth. The only reason why Killian is going to marry me is because they thought my child was his. Once they found out the truth, not only our marriage would be over, but they would hate me also. "You've left me before, Damien. I don't want Killian to leave me too," I whispered as tears strolled down my cheeks.

Damien stopped and stared at me with brows furrowed together. In the end, he sighed and grabbed his arm away from my hold.

"You shouldn't have lied to them, Giselle. You should have told them the truth including our past. You should have been transparent to them from the start."

I held my breath as I stared at him with hatred. "You have no heart!" I shouted as I pointed a finger at him. "Fine, if you want to tell Killian the truth, then go ahead! I knew you were up to no good when I saw you," I hissed.

"I will tell him everything. This is not just for him, but this is for you and my child also. Killian is a smart and powerful man. There's no way he would see through your lies. Once our child is born, it would be hard to hide the truth from him."

I averted my gaze on him and scoffed. By then, I would be the Luna already. The only thing that Killian could do against me was to hate me for fooling him.

What matters to me is I secure my position as the Luna of the Pack

"Alpha Damien! How are you? I just found out from my son that you came for a visit. What made your way to our Pack?" Victoria suddenly came out of nowhere and called Alpha Damien as she made her way through the garden. Damien smiled as he went forward to meet Victoria halfway. He gave her a half bow out of respect making Victoria chuckle in happiness.

Victoria likes it the most when

people show her forms of respect

and even though Damien is an

Alpha, he still gives Victoria a half bow like she was something making her heart swell in pride.

"Giselle? Are you alright?" Victoria's gaze suddenly landed on me when she saw me at the side wiping my tears away.

She came so suddenly that I didn't have the time to hide away my tears.

"I'm okay, mother. Alpha Damien and I were just talking about the memories we had in the

Crimsonbane Pack. I just got teary," I forced out a small laugh as I dabbed at the tears in the corner of

my eyes.

QUMS

"Hormones, it's hard being pregnant isn't it?" Victoria replied.

I let out a smile. "Boys do really give their mothers a hard time. I need to get used to it."

Victoria laughed. "That's true, my son was willful while growing up. The fruit won't fall far from the tree."

Damien glanced at me after Victoria spoke her statement. I swallowed hard because of the intensity of his gaze. "Come inside and let's eat. The dinner is ready," Victoria walked ahead of us after inviting us, leaving us behind.

Damien stared at me, but I ignored him, completely refusing to meet his gaze.

Killian was already on the table when we arrived. We took our respective seats, and I ended up sitting right beside Damien.

The three continued to talk formally,

continuing with their trivial

conversation as the omegas started

to serve our food which was made extra special to give a lasting

ve

impression on our special guest.

They kept talking nonstop even throughout the meal while I remained silent beside them, just keenly listening to their conversation waiting to intervene if things got out of hand. "Killian, Giselle, and I talked to each other earlier and there's something she's going to confess," Damien spoke and I knew instantly what he's trying to do here.

My eyes snapped at him as my heart started to pound inside my chest.

"Killian, the child..." Victoria and Killian stared at him intently, waiting to let him complete his sentence. "Giselle's child is "

Before Damien could say another word, I landed a punch on my own belly and let out a cry to stop him. I felt blood trickle on my leg as I moaned in pain.
