Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Elder Luna

Giselle’s POV

“Astrid is dead, madame,” the spy that I hired finally came back with his report.

I let out a breath and sat on my couch when I heard his confirmation. Of course, Astrid is dead. The Nightsong Pack held her memorial service along with her funeral. How could she still not be dead?

It doesn’t even make sense for Drystan to put on a whole show just to fool his own nephew. Even if Drystan and Astrid are close, why would Drystan betray his own flesh and blood for her?

I think Killian’s wolf is just in denial just as what Drystan had explained to him. Killian sounded so convincing that he nearly made me doubt my own eyes.

“Are you sure she’s not dead?” I asked the spy I hired again, just to make sure.

“She even has her own grave in the Nightsong Pack. We’ve been spying on their Pack for days, but I never saw the girl in the picture you asked me to look for in their Pack,” he replied.

I sighed. I wasn’t sure if it was because I was relieved or if I was frustrated that Killian was still holding on to Astrid even though she was already dead.

I don’t what is easier, to contend against a living person or a dead one. I thought all my problems would disappear once Astrid died, but Killian doesn’t seem to have any plans of letting her go.

It’s been a week since Killian and I came back from the Nightsong Pack to check if Astrid was really dead.

Until now, Killian is still convinced that Astrid is still alive. Every time that we saw each other, he couldn’t stop talking about how his wolf could still feel a faint connection with his mate.

I hope I could just wake him up and drill it into his head that his mate is already dead. However, I know he will only hate me if I ever mention that Astrid is dead.

I needed someone that could do that job for me. Someone that Killian would listen to and won’t get angry if they tell him that Astrid is dead and he has to move on.

“Miss Giselle,” I glanced at my assistant who just entered my room.

Ever since Killian had found out that I was pregnant, he not only assigned a Pack Doctor that would monitor my health he also assigned two omegas that would serve as my assistant.

Even Astrid never had that kind of privilege when she was a Luna. Not only did she never have assistants who worked under her, but she worked as an assistant under Killian instead.

My assistant wasn’t surprised when she saw an unfamiliar man inside my room that is not even a member of the Silvermoon Pack. As my assistant, she had to give her allegiance to me.

Her role is to support me and handle things for me. This job requires her honesty, loyalty, and confidentiality. My secrets will be safe with her and I could trust her with all my schemes. My downfall would be her downfall so she had to be careful.

“What is it?” I asked her in a blank voice after she bowed her head to me.

“Elder Luna Victoria requests your presence,” she replied with her head still lowered.

A smirk played on my lips when I finally found the answer to what I was looking for. I was just thinking of a person I could use to influence Killian’s mind, someone that he would listen to and would never get angry with.

Of course, there would be no other perfect person for that aside from his own mother.

“You can leave,” I motioned to the spy and he left the room quietly.

After he left, I instantly fixed myself to look presentable in front of Killian’s mother.

She is the missing piece in my plans. I have to be on her good side.

“Giselle!” Killian’s mother called out to me excitedly when she saw me coming. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

I stiffened when she suddenly enveloped me in a hug and gave me a short kiss on both cheeks. I forced a smile on my face when she finally took a step back.

“How is my grandson doing?” She asked with a huge smile on her face. I nearly jerked when she just touched my belly without permission.

I chuckled lightly at her question, matching the joy in her face. “The baby is healthy, Elder Luna,” I muttered as I caressed my belly.

Killian’s mother suddenly tilted her head back and laughed. “Oh dear, there’s no need to call me in my title. Just call me mother, okay? You are the mother of my grandson the heir to this Pack. You are a part of my family.”

Even though Killian’s mother is not a Luna anymore, she still wants to be called a Luna. She wanted everyone to call her Elder Luna because she never accepted Astrid as the Pack’s official Luna.

I smiled at how easily I gained her trust just because I was pregnant. Even Astrid wasn’t allowed to call her mother. Yet, she easily accepted me as a true part of her family. This will make things easier for me.

“What’s wrong?” she asked me when she saw the gloomy look on my face.

It’s time to play my cards and just see how much she likes me.
