Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 88

Killian’s POV

“Don’t worry,” I held Giselle by her shoulders, seeing how much she wanted justice for Astrid. “I had already asked for an investigation. Our Pack Warriors are already investigating what happened.”

Giselle sighed in relief. “I hope there’s no one out there planning to harm Astrid and her child,” she muttered with her brows bent downwards and with her hand pressed to her heart.

Drystan, who had been silently listening to our conversation, suddenly scoffed. “If any of you really cared about Astrid, you wouldn’t have caused trouble for us. If it wasn’t for that rumor you exposed, we wouldn’t bother to visit your Pack.”

Giselle bit her lower lip in shame as she averted her gaze from us. She must have felt bad now after seeing how much damage her words had already caused.

Although she wasn’t repentant of her actions even after I caught her and forced her to take back her words, she still never meant any harm to happen to Astrid.

She must have done that to turn away all the hate that was pointed towards us. She didn’t know that this would happen.

As I was about to speak up and defend Giselle, I fell silent when the Pack Warrior that I’ve been waiting for finally arrived.

Everyone’s attention turned to the person that caught my attention when they saw my reaction. All eyes followed my gaze with curiosity etched across their faces.

Tension hung thick in the air as we watched the newcomer’s approach. Drystan stood up from his seat as the Pack Warrior bowed his head to us before giving his report.

“Alpha, we caught rogues around the area where you found Astrid. Upon our investigation, we found out that rogues are the ones behind this attack,” he reported with a straight posture.

“That’s impossible!” Drystan blurted out with his brows furrowed together. “How could rogues be involved in this? Astrid was kidnapped within the Pack and brought outside to frame her death as an accident. Only members of the Silvermoon Pack have the ability to do this.”

“Alpha Drystan, you have no right to accuse any member of my Pack in front of me of such a serious crime,” I gritted my teeth as I stared at him sharply.

I won’t let anyone shamelessly accuse anyone in our Pack and sully our reputation in front of me. He is getting too far with his assumptions. First, he suspected Giselle, and now he is suspecting all the members of my Pack.

It’s only a matter of time before he puts the blame on all of us and accuses us of working together to harm Astrid.

“We tried to catch them all alive, Alpha, but they refused to cooperate with us. They attacked our Warriors and fought against us. We were left with no choice but to kill them,” The Pack Warrior answered as he lowered a little.

“And you call that an investigation!” I yelled at him, making him flinch.

My lips pressed into a thin line when I realized that we had run into a dead end here. With all the rogues dead and without any proof of their involvement in the case, there is a really high chance that they were just wrongfully accused.

“Forgive me, Alpha, but aside from the rogues, there was really no one else. The fact that they fought against us also proves that they really had something to do with it,” The Pack Warrior explained.

“You’ve investigated the area where you found Astrid, but have you investigated the place where she disappeared?” Drystan questioned us, making us fall silent

I watched as Drystan gave Giselle a murderous stare. He is still convinced that Giselle had something to do with this.

What if he is right? What if Giselle has been lying to me all along? It doesn’t make any sense, but it will if the DNA test proves that her child is not mine.
