Chapter 30: The Replacement

last update Last Updated: 2024-05-07 14:36:46
Giselle’s POV

My lips curled downwards and I lowered my gaze to evoke pity from Killian’s mother. Her brows bent downwards instantly when she saw the sad look on my face.

She took a step forward, closing the distance between us. “Come on, tell me,” she whispered to me kindly.

I forced a small smile on my face as I looked at her. “I’m just happy that you accepted me wholeheartedly,” I paused and blinked my eyes, letting the sadness sink in. “Killian had only seen me as a carrier of his baby. I wasn’t even sure that you would like me,” I spoke pitifully.

“This is nonsense,” Killian’s mother exclaimed. “You are the mother of my grandson, of course, I will accept you.”

I fell quiet at her words. Grandson? How could she be so sure that I was carrying a boy and not a girl?

“You don’t have to worry about Killian. I will talk to him, okay? From now on if you have any problems just tell me. Thinking of problems is not good for the baby,” Killian’s mother smiled as she crouched down to speak

    Astrid’s POVI lay awake on my bed with my eyes wide open, unable to turn back to sleep. It’s extremely early, the sun hasn’t even risen yet. I used to wake up at this hour of the day every single day back when I was still a Luna. My body clock is yet to adjust to the new life that I have. In my days as a Luna, I used to wake up before the sun could take its place in the sky to work until late in the night. Back then, I would work for hours straight without any time to rest, but now all I had to do all day was rest. Drystan and Nova refused to let me do any work just because I was pregnant. They are treating me like I’m a disabled person. I know that it is unreasonable of me to complain that I’m doing nothing, but my body is just not used to doing nothing. I miss my job, I miss having tasks that I had to complete throughout the day. I feel like I’m only wasting time every day. Even though it was not time for me to wake up yet, I stood up and cleaned my bed knowing that I won’t

    Killian’s POV I twirled the pasta with my fork with a bored expression on my face. I had no appetite to eat, but my mother forced me to join her for dinner. I thought she had something important to say to me, but I was surprised when I saw that Giselle would be joining us for dinner. My Beta had mentioned to me before that my mother and Giselle are getting along pretty well. I also noticed that the two of them have been spending so much time together in the last week. I just pretended that I hadn’t noticed this and busied myself for work. There are a lot of things I had to handle anyway so I got no time to spare for other matters. “Killian, you’ve gotten so thin. What happened?” Mother sounded so alarmed as she looked at my face. “Giselle, why are you not taking care of my son?”I was about to tell her that I was fine. I have just become busy lately, but I was stopped short when she suddenly asked Giselle a weird question. Take care of me? Why is it Giselle’s job to take care of

    Killian’s POV“Why do you look so surprised, Killian? Don’t you want the mother of your child to become the Luna? This isn’t just about you or the Pack, Killian. You need to do this for your child. I don’t want my grandson to grow up in a broken family,” My mother added when she saw the hesitation on my face. I glanced at Giselle who had kept her silence the whole time. Her head is also lowered, she’s too ashamed to lift her head and look at me. “Time is moving, Killian. Before you know it, your child will be asking questions. I don’t want my grandson to be confused when he grows up. As much as possible, Giselle should ascend as a Luna before her pregnant belly could turn visible. Understood?” My mother demanded. I chewed my bottom lip as I assessed everything. Deep inside my heart, I’m still hoping that Astrid would come back and claim her title, but I know that would never happen. Astrid is already dead and I have to accept that. Letting Giselle ascend as the Luna would be a si

    Astrid's POVThe entire day, my thoughts were constantly racing back to Drystan's statement that Giselle had sent a spy to ensure that I was dead and I couldn't get past over it.I don’t know why Giselle would still be so concerned about me when I already left the Pack.Thinking about it made me remember that Giselle hadn't been on my mind recently. Giselle has slipped my mind because I have been preoccupied with Killian.As I thought about her, I remembered the time when she drove past me right after I left the Pack.That was the last time that I saw her, and I would never forget her last words to me. “Of course, I wouldn’t miss to see you go down to dust. You are just a rogue now who has nowhere to go. You will be dead soon.” At that time, I never held meaning to her words. I foolishly believed she was merely trying to provoke me and add salt to my wound. As I pondered her words, however, I began to question if she really meant her words or if she was simply saying those things

    Astrid’s POVI knocked on the door of Drystan’s office.“Come in,” I heard him shout inside, so I twisted the door open.“Astrid?” He looked up at me with surprise on his face, not expecting to see me. “What are you doing here?” He asked me.“I came to ask how I can be of help,” I answered him straightforwardly as I looked around, admiring his office.This is the first time I’ve ever been inside Drystan’s office. I didn’t expect it to look so cozy with a fireplace in the corner. At the side, he has a display cabinet where all of his medals and trophies are placed. Drystan was an overachiever. Not only was he smart, but he was also a talented student. He participated in a lot of extracurricular activities, made his name in sports, and even won many contests. Even with his grand achievements, it wasn’t enough to make him the Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack. “You should be resting in your room, Astrid,” Drystan spoke softly as he brought down his gaze back on the papers that he was wor

  • Reclaiming My Broken Luna   Chapter 36: Twist

    Drystan’s POV I clenched my fists when I heard what my Beta had said. I’ve been trying to form an alliance with the Frostbite Pack for months, and now the Silvermoon Pack just suddenly swept in and stole them from us. I’ve been sending gifts and envoys to the Frostbite Pack to convince their Alpha. To be honest, our proposition is a good deal. It is even more beneficial to them than it is to us. I just wanted to have a signed alliance with a high pack like them to stabilize our PackPack and strengthen our future projects. We are just a small Pack who is just starting to establish ourselves in the werewolf community, but we are already getting trampled down without being given the chance for a fair fight. Astrid sighed, making me look at her. I felt bad for her when I saw how her shoulders slumped and how she exasperatedly placed her forehead on her palm. She must be blaming herself for this outcome again. “Astrid—“ I was about to comfort her when my Beta spoke. “Alpha, I think

    Astrid’s POV I gripped the steering wheel as my weary eyes scanned the winding road ahead. The rhythmic hum of the engine reverberated through the car, blending harmoniously with the faint music playing on the car’s speaker. It was a long ride travelling from the Nightsong Pack to the Frostbite Pack. Nova and I took turns behind the wheel so we could arrive there as soon as possible before the Frostbite Pack could sign an alliance with the Silvermoon Pack and lose all our chances.Nova lay sound asleep beside me, her chest rising and falling into a peaceful slumber. She drove all night before I took my turn to drive this morning. I shivered when the bitter cold seeped through the car’s window, chilling me to the bone and adding an extra layer of fatigue. Drowsiness tugged at me because of the cold climate. The long empty road, the snowflakes that pattered the windshield, and the snow-covered landscape outside. It made it hard for a pregnant woman like me to keep my eyes open. I ya

    Astrid’s POVStella that is my new name for my new identity. My hair, which used to be black, is now bleached into the lightest color just to make sure that no one would recognize me. The cold weather here at Frostbite Pack also helped to make me less recognizable. With the cold weather, I had to wear thick clothes which covered my frame. The Frostbite Pack and the Silvermoon Pack had no relationship before. Not only that, but no one in the Frostbite Pack would be able to recognize me since we hadn’t even seen each other before. It would be impossible for anyone in here to point out that I’m Astrid when they don’t even know that Astrid exists. “Alpha Everest, when we arrived, we noticed your men going around the Pack. It’s hard not to notice. They practically covered the streets. May we ask what’s going on? Did we arrive at the wrong time?” Nova asked respectfully. “No, not at all. Alpha Drystan had informed us ahead of time that you’d be arriving today. You are not interrupti

    Killian’s POVThe night smelled like blood and fire.I couldn’t stop moving.Every rogue in my path fell before they even had a chance to react. I didn’t feel them fall. Didn’t care.Because she was here.Astrid.And I would burn this entire place to the ground to get her and Elara back."Killian! We need to push back toward the main entrance!" Ryder shouted over the chaos."Then do it," I snarled, my claws slashing through another rogue’s throat. "I'm getting Astrid."The camp was collapsing around us, rogues scattering in terror.

    Killian’s POVThe night air was thick with tension as we stood outside the war tent, the flickering lanterns casting long shadows over the gathered warriors. We had our plan.It wasn’t enough.Not for me.Not for the rage clawing at my chest, the desperation gripping my every thought.Astrid was out there. Alone. Surrounded. And every second we waited was another second she was at that bastard’s mercy.I paced the length of the clearing, my hands clenched into fists, my wolf snarling just beneath the surface. Patience was never my strength. And right now, I had none."Killian."Ryder’s voice was firm, grounding.I stopped, exhaling sharply, forcing my breathing to even out."We’re ready," Ryder continued, stepping beside me. "The scouts confirmed Astrid’s trail—it leads straight into the rogue king’s stronghold. But we still don’t know exactly where they’re keeping her and Elara."I turned to him, my golden eyes burning. "Then we force them to tell us."Ryder nodded, but his gaze flic

    Killian’s POVThe room was suffocating.The walls pressed in around me, and my wolf howled inside my chest, clawing to be free, to run, to fight, to kill.I couldn’t breathe.Astrid was gone.Elara was still missing.They were both in his hands.The war room blurred as I stormed through the Packhouse, my mind a whirlwind of fury and desperation. My steps were too fast, too sharp, but I couldn’t slow down. Not now.Not when I had already lost so much.The moment I stepped into the war room, all eyes snapped to me.Ryder was there, arms crossed, watching me carefully. Warriors stood around the table, tense, waiting for orders. Waiting for me to do something.But I wasn’t thinking.I couldn’t think.I could barely see past the red haze of rage.“She left a trail,” Ryder said before I could even open my mouth.I froze.The room around me seemed to still, my mind catching onto his words like a drowning man clinging to a lifeline.“What?” My voice came out sharp, dangerous.Ryder motioned t

    Astrid’s POVElara’s blue eyes locked onto mine, wide and glistening with tears, her small frame trembling in the grip of the rogue holding her.“Mommy!”Her voice cracked, breaking something inside me.I lunged, the burning pain of the wolfsbane shackles forgotten, my body driven by nothing but instinct.I barely made it a step before rough hands grabbed my arms, yanking me back.A snarl ripped from my throat. “Let her go!”Ardan’s smirk deepened. He raised a hand, and the rogue restraining Elara tightened his grip.She whimpered.A sound so small—so fragile—that it shattered every ounce of restraint I had left.“I swear with my own life, Ardan,” I growled, my voice raw with fury, “if you so much as touch her—”He laughed.Actually laughed.Like this was amusing. Like he wasn’t holding my world in his filthy hands.“My, my,” he mused, pacing toward me with slow, deliberate steps. “You really do have a soft spot, don’t you?” His gaze flickered to Elara. “I wonder… does she share your

    Astrid’s POVThe journey to Ardan’s stronghold felt longer than it should have.They forced me to walk.Through the forest, over uneven terrain, my wrists bound in iron shackles laced with wolfsbane, burning against my skin with every step.I didn’t fight them.Not because I couldn’t.But because every second I stalled, every moment I made them think I was truly broken, brought me closer to Elara.That was all that mattered.The rogues surrounded me in a loose formation, their laughter and whispered taunts filling the night air.They didn’t see me as a threat.Not anymore.They saw a woman who had given up, a mother who had walked willingly into the lion’s den.That was their first mistake.Their second?Letting me breathe.As we moved deeper into rogue territory, my thoughts remained sharp, focused. I counted our path, memorized the turns, the landmarks, the scent markers.If I survived this, if I found a way to get Elara out, I needed to know exactly how to escape.If I didn't… then

    Astrid’s POVThe rogues had been waiting for me.They lingered in the shadows, motionless, like predators poised for the perfect moment to strike. Their eyes glowed eerily in the dim light of the moon, flickering with something sinister—anticipation.They knew I was coming.My stomach twisted, but I forced my expression into something unreadable, my shoulders squared as I stepped forward. I came alone. No weapons. No resistance. Complete surrender.It was the only way.If I fought back, if I hesitated for even a second, Ardan might change his mind. He might keep Elara. He might hurt her.And that was a risk I wasn’t willing to take.I took slow, deliberate steps into the clearing, my heartbeat steady despite the way my wolf clawed at the inside of my skin, urging me to turn back, to fight.Not yet.I exhaled, tilting my chin upward as I finally stopped before them.The group of rogues—at least a dozen—remained silent for a moment, assessing me. Then one of them, a tall, lean man with

    Killian’s POVThe omega’s words rang in my ears like a warning bell."Alpha! Alpha! It’s Ryker! He’s awake and looking for you. He won’t calm down!"My entire body locked up.Ryker had always been tormented with nightmares ever since Elara was kidnapped. He often woke up in the middle of the night, demanding to see us and he would always look so terrified. I stood at the Packhouse entrance, my wolf raging to break free, my warriors prepared to track Astrid before she got too far. Every instinct inside me screamed at me to run, to chase her down, to drag her back before she made the biggest mistake of her life.But my son needed me.For a single, agonizing moment, I hesitated.Then I turned on my heel and strode toward the infirmary, my boots pounding against the floor, my fists clenched so tightly my nails cut into my palms. My lungs burned with restrained fury, my thoughts a storm of frustration and helplessness.First Astrid. Now Ryker. I was losing control of everything.When I

    Astrid’s POVThe night stretched on, endless and suffocating. The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast long shadows against the walls, but the light felt hollow—cold. The Packhouse was eerily quiet, the usual hum of distant conversations and footsteps replaced by an unbearable stillness.I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers twisting the fabric of my shirt, my thoughts a hurricane raging inside me.Elara.Her name was carved into every thought, every breath, every aching second that passed. She was out there, in the dark, in the hands of the man who wanted nothing more than to see me broken.And I was still here. Waiting.I had tried. I had tried to listen to Killian, to hold on to the logic that we could save her together, that there was a plan, a chance. But how could I gamble my daughter’s life on a chance?What if they were wrong? What if we weren’t fast enough? What if she needed me now?My throat tightened, the guilt curling around me like a noose. I had waited too long alrea

My breath came in sharp, uneven gasps, my pulse hammering so loudly it drowned out everything else.Killian was speaking — his voice low and urgent — but I couldn’t hear him.All I could see was Elara.Trapped. Alone. Scared.The paper shook violently in my grasp as a sob tore from my throat.My daughter was out there, in his hands. And he wanted me.The weight of it settled over me like an iron cage.This was never about the Pack. Never about a war.It had always been about me.A hand touched my wrist, firm and grounding. “Astrid.”Killian’s voice finally cut through the haze of panic suffocating me. I looked up, meeting his golden eyes—burning with unspoken fear.For me.For Elara.For all of us.I swallowed hard, my throat raw. “I have to go.”“No.” Killian’s grip tightened immediately, his entire body going rigid. “Absolutely not.”I stepped back, wrenching
