Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Take Back the Words



Giselle's POV

The light in Astrid's eyes dimmed a little when I told her that it was Killian who exposed her affair with Drystan. "I don't care who exposed it," Astrid answered blankly after she concealed the emotions that crossed her features for a second like it wasn't there.

"What I want is that you take back everything that was said to clean our names," Astrid demanded.

I crossed my arms together and scoffed. Killian has been forcing me to clear out their names ever since he found out what I had done, yet I never listened to him. What makes her think that I would listen to her?

Even if she cries with blood in front of me, I will never take back what I said. "I will never do that. I just only said the truth." I rebutted.

Astrid laughed at my words, taking me aback. "You want the truth? Fine, I will give you the truth. If you refuse to disprove that Drystan and I had an affair, I will expose to everyone that I'm having Killian's baby.

My eyes widened at Astrid's words.

Astrid stepped forward as she towered over me with her hands crossed. "Do you think Killian would still marry you if he finds out that I'm carrying his son?" Astrid laughed at me as the corner of my lips twitched in anger.

"Since you want the truth, then I will give it to him. You know what that would mean, right? Not only will it prove that Drystan and I never had an affair, but my child could be the future Alpha of this Pack," Astrid spoke matter of factly.

My whole body tensed at her words. I clenched my fists as I stared at her in anger. "No, you wouldn't dare!" I snapped at her.

Astrid smirked at me. "Would you like to bet on it?"

I fell silent, knowing what the stakes were for me. If Killian found out that Astrid was carrying his child, he would also realize that my baby was not his because he never slept with me.

Killian only slept with one woman, and he knows that. He just thought that he slept with me instead of Astrid.

"Don't put your head too high above the clouds, Giselle. Killian is only rushing to marry you because you are carrying his child. Without your baby, he would have never taken you seriously."

I swallowed hard because of how right her words were. That's true, but she should never know that.

I held my head high as I collected myself together and matched her temper. "You really think that Killian would chase after you once he finds out you're carrying his child? It's been months since you got divorced. I thought your delusions had died already."

Astrid's resolve didn't waver even after she heard my words.

I smirked as I took

step forward.

"Killian chose me over you. He even proposed to me after he confessed how much he loves me, and that's why we are getting married. This is not a shotgun wedding as you have thought. Killian and I have always been in love with each other. You just came into the picture, and ruined everything. Without you, Killian

would have married me instead of you."

The corner of Astrid's lips twitched slightly, making me feel more

confident. "My head is not above the clouds, Astrid. You are just being delusional. So go ahead and

l

announce to everyone that you are having Killian's child. Go ahead and make a fool of yourself," I challenged her after I brought up all the doubts and fears that had been eating her.

Astrid just smiled at me, making my smirk falter. You think I'll do that just so Killian and I could fix our broken relationship?” Astrid laughed at me. "You can have Killian as much as you want. He is all yours. I'm not a person who goes back to eat my leftovers during lunch for dinner."

I clenched my fist as I forced a smile on my face. She is calling Killian her leftover. She is calling me a person who eats her leftovers.

Astrid walked towards the window of my room, where you could see the party going on outside.

"I came here just to save the Nightsong Pack, Giselle. You and Killian are old history for me. I don't care if you get married or get divorced in the future. I don't care what is going on between you," Astrid spoke with a face that said she meant it all.

"What I want is for you to take back the rumors about my affair with Drystan so everything can go back to normal. I already tried to talk sense with you, Giselle. It's up to you if you will listen to my warnings or not.

I will give you time. If you don't take back the rumors about my affair with Drystan, I will announce that I'm carrying Killian's child."
