Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 122

Drystan’s POV

A sense of belonging and relief washed over me as I approached the well-worn trails leading into the heart of my home. It has been a long journey, and now I finally found myself gazing upon the familiar territory of my Pack.

Suddenly, the lazy smile on my face was wiped away when I noticed that the landscape beyond our Pack’s borders had changed.

For some reason, tents had sprung up around, ruining the natural view of the Pack. Aside from that, there are also multiple unfamiliar faces going around as if they are legitimate settlers in the area.

I stopped the car and went out to face them. Of all the places where they could stay, they have gathered just inches away from my Pack’s borders, adding a threat to our Pack.

Before I could fully process these unexpected changes and speak to them, their faces suddenly lit up when they recognized me.

“It’s Alpha Drystan! He’s here!”

“Alpha Drystan is here!”

I stood just outside my car with confusion written all over my face until familiar faces finally appeared and approached me.

“Alpha Drystan, we’ve been waiting for you,” one of the Alphas said, his voice tinged with desperation.

I took a look at each one of them, recognizing most of them.

What are they doing here? Why have they gathered outside my Pack?

I told Beta Caden to make them go home because I wouldn’t be coming home soon. Yet, they are here, outside my Pack, making themselves at home illegally.

“Alpha Drystan, we need to talk to you.”

I took a step back as everyone crowded around me. My brows furrowed, my instinct to protect my Pack warring with my curiosity. “What is the meaning of this?” I asked, gesturing at the camps.

The Alphas exchanged a weighted glance at each other, tension palpable in the air. “We’ve come to you in the hopes of forging a new alliance,” another Alpha explained, his tone grave.”

“Our Packs have so much we could benefit from each other. I believe that we can grow faster together.”

“Alpha Drystan, about the agreement I cancelled last time, I’ve thought about it and realized the huge mistake I have made. Why don’t we continue our agreement? This time, let us widen our partnership.”

The Alphas shifted uncomfortably. However, I found no guilt in their eyes. Only desperation to form an alliance with my Pack.

They don’t care that they have overstepped, that their actions have consequences. All they think about is the benefits they could have if they form a connection to a Pack that is close to the Shadowfang Pack.

Their desperation was so great that they had been willing to take this risk.

“As werewolves, loyalty is what we value the most. Yet, you Alphas don’t have that very important character.” I paused, my chest heaving with the weight of my emotions.

“From now on, our Pack is going to adhere to the Unilateral Law, where we will no longer form alliances or connections with anyone else. Only the Shadowfang Pack and the Frostbite Pack, who had remained loyal to us, can keep the alliance they have with us,” I proclaimed to all of them.

The Alphas exchanged uneasy glances as they realized that they lost the only chance they had to fulfil their dreams of being connected to the Most Powerful Pack in the world.

The Unilateral Law is the same law that the Shadowfang Pack has. It is a law where a Pack’s strength and survival depend solely on its own self-reliance and independence. Forging bonds to outside Packs is not allowed.

“Alpha Drystan, please allow us to make amends,” all of them pleaded, but my heart was already hardened, and there was nothing that was going to change my mind.
