Chapter 277: Unspoken Words

last update Last Updated: 2024-09-29 18:08:54

Astrid’s POV

I glanced at him, my chest tightening. "But why does it always have to be you?”

Killian frowned, confused. “What do you mean?”

I shook my head, the words I had been too afraid to admit bubbling up. “I couldn’t love Drystan. Not fully. Not the way he deserves to be loved. And do you know why?” I asked him as he stared at me cluelessly.

“Because I’m still stuck on you, Killian. You’re the ghost I can’t shake. You’re always there, lingering in the back of my mind,” I blurted out before I could stop myself.

He stood there, stunned into silence. For a moment, I thought he might walk away, say nothing, but he didn’t. He stayed, and it only made the ache in my chest worse.

“I tried, you know? I tried to love Drystan the way I was supposed to. But every time, I felt like I was betraying something... or someone. And that someone was you.” My voice broke then, and I couldn’t stop the tears that filled my eyes.

“Even though you hurt me, even though you weren’t the husband I neede

    Killian’s POVI walked into my office, the door closing with a soft thud behind me, and for a moment, I just stood there in the silence. The conversation I’d just had with Astrid echoed in my head like a storm that wouldn’t settle. It was as if the weight I’d been carrying for years had finally been lifted off my shoulders, but in its place was something else—a heaviness that sank deeper into my chest, pressing down like a weight I couldn’t escape.I had told her. After all this time, I had finally told her the truth.The truth I’d buried for years, the one I thought would protect her. The truth that I never loved Giselle—not in the way a man should love his wife. That everything I did, I did for my son. I had tried to be a good father, to keep the family intact for him, even though every day felt like I was living a lie. Astrid finally knew that now. She knew why I had kept my distance, why I had pushed her away, why I had tried to convince myself that leaving her behind was the

    Killian’s POVI sat in my chair, the weight of guilt still pressing down on me, my mind spiraling with thoughts of Astrid. Regret felt like a physical thing, constricting my chest, refusing to let go. I rubbed my temples, trying to block out the voices in my head, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.I didn't want to deal with anyone right now. Not after everything. But the knock came again, more insistent. With a sigh, I forced myself to speak.“Come in.”The door opened, and Beta Ryder stepped in, his face alight with excitement, practically beaming. I blinked, surprised by the energy radiating from him. He was rarely this enthusiastic, and I wasn’t in any mood to deal with whatever news had put him in such a good mood.“Killian,” Ryder began, unable to contain his grin. “I’ve got something important to tell you.”I tried to mask my exhaustion, but it was a losing battle. “Ryder, now’s not really the time—”“No, you’ll want to hear this,” he cut in, stepping closer. “The r

    Killian’s POV"Alpha, what should we do?" Ryder's voice pulled me back from the brink of my spiraling thoughts. His eyes bore into mine, tense with the weight of what we had just discovered. "What Giselle did... it’s worse than treason. We have proof of her betrayal. How should we deal with her?"My heart raced, but I forced myself to stay calm. "Don’t alert her just yet," I said firmly, my voice cutting through the tension like a knife.Ryder looked at me, his eyes flickering with protest. “But, Alpha—”I raised a hand to stop him, my voice low but unyielding. “We’re barely scratching the surface, Ryder. If Giselle could pull something like this off for years, then we’re dealing with something much bigger. There’s more to this than we realize.”His jaw clenched as he tried to rein in his frustration, but I could see he understood. “You think there’s more she’s hiding?”I let out a slow breath, the weight of my next words heavier than I wanted to admit. “Yes, Ryder. I do. I’ve been t

    Killian’s POVRyder exhaled slowly, tension rippling through his body as he processed the gravity of the situation. “Where do we start?” he asked, his voice tight with barely contained anger. I took a moment before responding. “I couldn’t think of anyone who could know more about this except for Giselle’s doctor,” I replied, my mind already working through the plan. “The one who handled her pregnancy. He would know what happened, or at the very least, he’d have records. If there’s a hole in her story, he’s the key to unlocking it.” I explained to him. Ryder fell into a thoughtful silence, his eyes narrowing as he absorbed the implications. After a beat, his fists clenched, his jaw tightening in fury.“Her doctors… They were all members of our Pack. How could they betray you? Betray us? How dare they lie to their Alpha!” His voice shook with righteous anger.“To hide something this huge would take more than just Giselle,” I continued, my voice steady but cold. “This wasn’t the work

    Nova’s POVI fold the last piece of clothing into my bag, my hands shaking with every movement. Everything feels heavier than it should, like the weight of my decision is pressing down on me, threatening to crush me. This room, this pack, it was my home for so long. But now, it’s become unbearable. Every corner holds memories I wish I could forget, memories that keep me tied to a past I no longer have a place in.Drystan.His name alone sends a sharp pang through my chest. I close my eyes, trying to push away the thoughts of him, of what could’ve been, but it’s no use. He’s everywhere, in everything. I can’t escape him, not while I’m here. I can’t pretend anymore. It hurts too much.I open my eyes, looking down at the half-packed bag. My heart feels like it’s shattering with every item I shove inside, but this is the only option. I can’t stay. Not when Drystan and Astrid have found their way back to each other. I can’t be the reason they fall apart again. I won’t be the one stand

    Nova’s POVMy hands curled into tight fists at my sides, anger boiling inside me. How could Michael assume I hadn’t fought for Drystan? How could he stand there and accuse me of running away when he had no clue what I had been through?“You don’t understand, Michael,” I snapped, my voice trembling with a mix of frustration and grief. “I did confess my feelings to him. I put my heart on the line, and you know what happened? He rejected me,” my voice wavered. “Don’t you realize how humiliating that was? To bear my soul, only to be turned away?” I saw guilt flicker across his face as my words hit home.“Drystan made it painfully clear that I’d never be more than a friend. And now, you’re standing here, telling me to go through that again? To relive that pain? Why? So I can watch him choose Astrid over me again?”I saw a change in Michael’s expression—a hint of regret, maybe, but he didn’t back down. “That was three years ago, Nova. People change. What if Drystan feels differently now?”

    Drystan’s POVA storm broke loose inside me the moment I turned away from Astrid. My feet moved without thought, each step heavier than the last, and I didn’t care where I was going — I just needed to leave. To get away from the weight of her words, her rejection. The sound of my boots pounding against the earth drowned out the distant voices behind me, but it wasn’t enough to quiet the roar in my chest.I passed through the pack’s courtyard in a blur, the cold night air biting against my skin, but I barely noticed. I only had one thing in mind — distance. I needed to get away from everything."Drystan!" Damien’s voice cut through the air, sharp with confusion. I had no choice but to walk past through them to leave the Pack. "What the hell is going on?” He asked out loud, sensing the tension gripping my entire body. I ignored him. My jaw clenched so tightly I could feel the muscles strain. I heard their footsteps quicken, coming up behind me. Damien, Killian, and a few others st

    Drystan’s POVI slammed the brakes, the tires screeching as the car jolted to a violent stop in the middle of the empty road. The sudden silence felt deafening, as though the world had paused just to witness my breakdown. My hands gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white, but this time it wasn’t the rage that fueled me. It wasn’t the blinding, red-hot anger that had consumed me minutes ago. It was something far heavier, something I couldn’t escape from — guilt.My hands shook, trembling uncontrollably, but not because I was furious. The fire that had raged within me had burned out, leaving only ashes of regret. I had been so obsessed with my own pain, my own selfish desire, that I’d failed to see the damage I was leaving in my wake. I had been blind — willfully blind — to the hurt I was causing.I let out a long, shaky breath, my chest tight as I leaned back into the seat. My head fell against the headrest, and for a moment, I closed my eyes, wishing I could shut out the crushi

    Astrid’s POVThe air crackled with tension as the rogue king’s gaze shifted toward us, his dark eyes gleaming with an unspoken challenge. Killian’s golden eyes burned with fury, his body coiled like a predator ready to strike. But the rogue king, Ardan, stood unfazed, a shadow of calm amidst the chaos.“You’re relentless, Killian,” Ardan said smoothly, his voice carrying across the clearing like a chilling wind. “But your efforts are misplaced. You cling to a broken system—a hierarchy built on oppression and blood.”Killian took a measured step forward, his claws flexing. “And you think murdering innocents and sowing chaos is the answer? You’re delusional.”Ardan tilted his head, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Delusional? Or visionary? The Packs need reformation, Killian. The hierarchy you protect only serves the Alphas and Betas—those at the top. The rest? They suffer. They’re discarded like trash.”I clenched my fists, stepping forward to stand beside Killian. “And you think y

    Astrid's POVThe air felt sharper, heavier. Ryder's words lingered, a warning that sent a jolt of adrenaline surging through me. "It's a trap."Killian's hand tightened around mine briefly before he let go, signaling silently to the warriors around us. His golden eyes locked onto mine, and without speaking, I understood. Be ready.The rogues emerged from the shadows like wraiths, their movements swift and predatory. My heart pounded as Killian raised a hand, signaling our group to spread out and form a defensive line. The moonlight gleamed off their weapons, but it was their eyes-feral, unrelenting-that sent a shiver down my spine.The rogue king's voice broke through the stillness, cold and calculated. "You've been followed, Cedric."Cedric spun around, his eyes wide in shock and fear as his gaze darted toward the trees. With the rogue king’s army surrounding us, and with his calm demeanor. It was obvious that he had seen us from afar. He was prepared to stop us.Only Cedric had

    Astrid’s POVThe tension in the council chamber clung to my skin like a second layer of sweat. Every time I closed my eyes, I could still see Alpha Cedric’s smug expression from the last meeting, his words twisting the air with doubt and discontent.Killian and I walked side by side through the dimly lit hall, his golden eyes sharp and focused. Neither of us spoke as we headed toward the war room, our minds occupied by the same burning question: could Cedric truly be working with the rogue king?The war room door creaked open, revealing Ryder standing at the center of the table, maps and documents scattered before him. He looked up as we entered, his expression grim but composed.“Alpha. Luna,” Ryder greeted, bowing slightly.“What did you find?” Killian asked, his voice steady but clipped.Ryder straightened, his gaze meeting Killian’s. “We’ve been discreetly monitoring Alpha Cedric’s movements as you requested. There’s nothing concrete yet, but… there’s something off.”I frowned,

    Astrid’s POVThe private chamber was dimly lit, the flicker of candlelight casting shifting shadows on the stone walls. The air was thick with anticipation as Killian and I stepped into the room. Alpha Damien and Luna Valerie stood by the hearth, their faces somber. Damien’s normally relaxed posture was stiff, and Valerie’s fingers were laced tightly together, betraying her tension.“Damien, Valerie,” Killian began, his voice firm. “We were told you’ve uncovered something about the rogue king. What is it?”Damien exchanged a glance with Valerie before stepping forward, his gaze steady. “Valerie and I had been conducting an investigation—secretly,” he admitted. “Ever since the first rogue attacks began to increase, we’ve been suspicious.”Valerie nodded, her tone soft but urgent. “The rogue king’s moves weren’t random. They were calculated, methodical. He wasn’t just targeting packs for power or resources; he was targeting the foundation of our system—the hierarchy, the unity that bi

    Astrid’s POVKillian halted mid-step, his shoulders stiffening as he turned to face me. His brow knitted together, the golden hue of his eyes darkening with unease. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice low, guarded.I hesitated for just a heartbeat before the words poured out, tumbling over each other in a rush. “Alpha Cedric,” I said, my voice tight with urgency. “At the council meeting—he stood up, questioning us, doubting our leadership, our decisions.”Killian’s brows pinched together as he processed my words. “What if… what if it wasn’t just him being confrontational? What if it was intentional? Designed to sow distrust, to divide us?” I asked him Killian’s gaze sharpened, his eyes narrowing as he digested my words. A flicker of understanding crossed his face, followed by something colder, harder. Slowly, he nodded. “I’ve been thinking the same thing,” he admitted, his tone heavy with thought. “When Andros suggested there could be a traitor, Cedric was the first person w

I felt my chest tighten, the implications settling like a stone in my stomach. “What do you mean?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Andros’s gaze dropped again, his shoulders slumping as if the weight of his confession was too much to bear. “If you suspect that someone’s feeding the rogue king information, it wasn’t me. It must be someone close to you,” he answered. “Since they know so much about the Pack, it could be someone in your ranks. Tell me, is there anyone acting weird recently? Anyone you think that is hiding something.”“That’s impossible,” I instantly blurted out. “All of us wanted the rogue king gone. All of us were helping each other to overcome this crisis. Why would someone betray us and work with the rogue king?”“I’m not the one leaking information to the rogue king,” Andros spoke sternly. “Who do you think it is?” The question that escaped Killian’s mouth made me look at him. “Killian, what are y

    Astrid's POVThe air in the dungeon was damp and heavy, clinging to my skin like a second layer. The faint flicker of the bright light painted uneasy shadows on the stone walls, casting long, distorted shapes that felt as restless as the questions swirling in my mind. Killian and I stopped outside Andros’s cell, and for a moment, neither of us spoke.Andros sat against the wall, his posture slouched, his gaze fixed somewhere distant, as though we weren’t there. His face was pale, worn, and etched with the weight of regret he had carried silently since Rowena’s death.“Andros,” I said, my voice softer than I intended. It was impossible to ignore how different he looked now, like a man who had already resigned himself to whatever fate we would decide.His dark eyes flicked toward me briefly before dropping back to the ground. “What now?” he asked, his voice hollow, lacking the defiance I used to know.Killian stepped forward, his tone firmer than mine. “We need answers,” he said. “T

    Astrid's POVThe warrior’s words hung in the air like a heavy shroud, suffocating and cold. I stared at him, trying to make sense of what I’d just heard.“The fragments… are missing?” I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. My heart pounded, each beat echoing louder in my ears as confusion and disbelief clawed at my thoughts.The Forsaken Amulet was destroyed. Rowena sacrificed her life to ensure it could never be used again. Why would the rogues come back for it? What could they possibly want with shattered remnants?Killian stood beside me, rigid as stone, his golden eyes locked on the warrior. “Are you sure?” he asked, his voice low, taut with restrained fury.“Yes, Alpha,” the warrior said, bowing his head. “We inspected the area as you instructed, to see if the rogues left anything behind—clues, weapons, anything. But instead, we found the fragments… gone.”Gone. The word echoed in my mind, a drumbeat of confusion. I tried to piece together the rogue king’s motives, but not

    Astrid’s POVThe tension in the room was suffocating. The large council chamber, usually filled with calm deliberation, was now a battlefield of words. Alphas and Lunas from across the packs are all gathered around in one room, their gazes heavy with doubt and mistrust. Killian and I decided to call this meeting to inform everyone about the recent events and to formulate another plan for the future. “We heard that Andros is back, that he came back to the Pack with you, was that true?” One of the Alphas asked. I nodded my head. “That’s true. Although he is banned to enter any Packs, I made my decision out of careful consideration. While we are unsure of where his alliances lies, it would be safe if he is here with us where we could monitor him.”“Andros cannot be trusted,” Alpha Raiden of the Thunderclaw Pack said, his voice cold and unyielding. “He betrayed us once—no, twice. Do you expect us to believe he won’t do it again?”Several heads nodded in agreement, murmurs spreading li
