Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 56

Giselle’s POV

My footsteps echoed swiftly down the grand hall as I hurried towards the Packhouse’s drawing room. The omega followed behind me in haste, trying to match my footsteps.

My heart raced with a mix of annoyance and unease — The Alpha of the Crimsonbane Pack had arrived unannounced. I don’t even know what he is doing here.

I gritted my teeth as anger coursed through me. Why does he even have to come here?! He doesn’t even have any business with the Silvermoon Pack.

If he came here to ruin things for me, I swear I’m going to kill him.

“How long has he been with him?” I demanded in irritation without stopping on my tracks.

“For about thirty minutes,” The omega answered unsurely for she’s only basing her answer on her own gut.

I rushed my pace as I gripped the hem of my clothes tightly. He’s been here for almost an hour and I have only known that he’s here just by now?

I need to hurry before he speaks of something that Killian shouldn’t know about.

I paused momentarily to collect myself together when I finally reached the ornate double doors.

The omega pushed the doors open and I was welcomed with the plush velvet furnishings and the sparkling crystal chandeliers of our Packhouse’s drawing room where we meet our most esteemed guests.

I clenched my jaw in anger when my eyes landed on Alpha Damien, the one and only Alpha of the Crimsonbane Pack.

He flashed a lazy smile on his face as he stared at me with the same deep and empty eyes.

He still looks the same as I remember him. His sharp eyes are tilted upward like a predator. His features are angled and chiseled, the product of lineage steeped from the ways of the wolf.

“Giselle, long time no see,” he spoke with his voice devoid of superfluous emotion.

I forced a smile on my face since Killian is here, watching what my reaction would be.

“Alpha Damien, you should have told me you would come,” I spoke in a tight voice as I tried my best not to voice out my annoyance.

He shouldn’t have come here at all. He knows that he is not welcome here.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you know Alpha Damien? How did you know each other?” Killian asked amicably as he directed his question on me.

“Giselle, you never told him about me?” Damien asked me with a fake surprised look on his face.

I just wanted to punch him in the face and push him out of this Pack.

“It was too long ago, Killian, so it never crossed my mind. I only stayed at the Crimsonbane Pack for a while when I left the Pack. That’s just how we knew each other,” I told him half the truth.

“Is there a problem, Alpha Damien?” I lifted my chin as I challenged him.

Damien fell quiet, not expecting my confidence.

He thought I would get scared by him? Then he doesn’t know me that well. I gave him his chance, yet he pushed me away and chose somebody else.

He has no right to interfere with my new life after he has made that decision.

He can’t ruin the life I worked hard for after he pushed me away from his life.

Damien just clucked his tongue and turned his gaze away. My heart swelled with confidence when he failed to say a word against me.

“Oh Giselle, I forgot to say that Alpha Damien didn’t receive any invitation from us,” Killian spoke up.

“Oh!” My eyes widened in horror. “That couldn’t be, I made sure I sent invitations to all Packs,” I lied with fake look of concern on my eyes.

Damien just shook his head quietly. He knows I did that in purpose.

It is exactly the reason why I didn’t expect to see him here. I purposely didn’t send him an invitation for I do not want to be connected in any way with him again.

I wonder where his news are coming from since I never even sent him any invitation and I never told him or anyone connected to him about my pregnancy.
