Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 14

Giselle’s POV

Killian is physically with me, but he isn’t mentally there. He has been absent-minded the whole time that he is with me and I had to force out smiles on my face and act like I don’t notice anything strange from him.

Talking to him felt like I wasn’t talking to a man, he was too distant to me. Although he gives me replies, I know he is just doing it out of respect.

I’m actually pissed off that he is treating me like how he was treating his ex-wife. I hope that after this dinner, things will change between us and go back to the way it was.

I know he already clarified that he has no feelings for me and has no plans of having feelings for me in the future. For him, the past is past and I’m planning to change his mind.

The first step in doing that is by inviting him to dinner.

It doesn’t matter whether he does have feelings or not. I’m just glad that he agreed to have dinner with me which means I might still have a chance with him.

“Hmmm,” a moan escaped my lips as I took a bite of prime beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. “Doesn’t it taste good?” I asked Killian with an excited smile on my face as I watched him take his first bite.

Killian just slightly nodded his head. He had no reaction on his face as he ate. “It tastes good,” he muttered emotionlessly.

Instead of showing my disappointment, I beamed instead which is the exact opposite of what I’m feeling.

“I know right? This place is highly recommended so I brought you here,” I softly smiled.

I even chose an expensive fine-dining restaurant just to make sure that Killian wouldn’t regret coming with me.

Everything inside the restaurant is in top detail from the soft lighting to the tables draped with crisp white linen giving the restaurant an elegant ambience.

I glanced up at Killian again after he did not answer for a long time. My eyes squinted lightly when I noticed that his attention was on someone else.

I’m right in front of him talking to him, but he’s not even listening.

I looked back with a sour look on my face to see what had stolen his attention.

A horrified look crossed my face and I gripped the skirt of my dress underneath the table when I saw a familiar figure of a woman whose back is turned on us.

The woman had just sat at their table along with a man that she was with. Now I know why Killian is so distracted.

The woman that he’s looking at looks like Astrid. Her figure and her hair look exactly like hers.

“Astrid has left the pack without giving you an heir, and I’m carrying your son. Why don’t we get married? In that way, our son won’t get confused and we could establish his future as the Alpha heir. No one would question his credibility if I became the Pack Luna.”

I awaited his answer with trepidation knowing that I was pushing my chances too much. Killian’s reaction could only be two things. First, he might be convinced by my words or he would be so angry at my shamelessness and ruin whatever relations that we had.

Before he could give his answer though, something urgent interrupted in our pack link.

Killian stormed out of the restaurant and I chased after him. When we got back to the Packhouse, he went straight to his office to hear the urgent report.

Driven by curiosity I eavesdropped on their conversation.

“Alpha, we found news on Astrid.”

“Where is she?”

“Astrid is dead. She was seriously injured and died in the Nightsong Pack.”

A strangled gasp escaped Killian’s lips, his body froze in shock as the weight of the tragic truth sank in, leaving him numb and speechless.
