NovelEnglishChapter 50: Confession? Astrid's POV I lay motionless on my bed, my eyes distant and unfocused as the weight of Killian's words pressed heavily upon my heart, sappingof my energy and will.
My mind couldn't stop going back to his shameless accusations. I couldn't believe how he could accuseof cheating him and sleeping with his own uncle when he was the one who cheated in our marriage.
I couldn't believe how shameless he was to put all the blonwhen he was the one who ruined our marriage.
All my life, I have dedicated my life to him as his wife, even though he never appreciated everything that I did. I stayed loyal and faithful to him, always mindlessly hoping that he would grow feelings foror hopefully beca loving husband in return.
I waited for years and invested all of my efforts in our relationship. In the end, all it took was for his ex-girlfriend to cback, and he threw away everything that we had and impregnated her.
"I've completed the examination," The Pack Doctor spoke, breakingaway from my thoughts. "The baby is perfectly healthy. Their heartbeat is strong, and all the vital signs are right where they should be." A faint, tremulous smile tugged at the corner of my lips.
"What about Astrid?" Drystan asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNova had already left since someone from our Pack needed to handle the ongoing event outside.
The Pack Doctor nodded solemnly. "Physically, she's doing well too. The effects of the broken mate bond are taking a toll, as expected, but her body is adapting." He paused, his gaze softening with empathy.
He then turned his attention back toafter he answered Drystan's question. "I know this is an incredibly difficult tfor you, Astrid, but you and the baby are safe, and I will do everything in my power to help you recover. "The bond..." I murmured as I clutched the bedsheet.
I know that I'm the first one who rejected Killian, and he merely accepted my rejection. Still, sadness welled in my heart now that I officially don't have any connection with him.
This is what I wanted. This is what's best forand for my child. I just felt sad because Killian was once a huge part of my life, but now he's gone.
I hope I willn't meet or see him again.
"Yes," the Pack Doctor replied, "the bond. I recommend you remain on strict bedrest until the effects have fully worn off. Your body and mind need tto heal, to find a new equilibrium," he explained.
I slowly nodded my head. I don't have the energy to do anything anyway. After I heard Killian's words, I was planning to stay in my room until I emotionally recovered.
"Thank you, Doctor," Drystan muttered as the Doctor took his leave.
"Everything will be fine, Astrid. Rest now. Nova and I will handle the Werewolf Assembly until the end," Drystan reached for my hand and squeezed it when he saw my emotionless expression.
"I'm sorry, Drystan," I muttered under my breath. I felt so guilty that I couldn't look at him.
Because of me, he was involved in my problems and was accused of sleeping with someone else's mate.
Killian made many heavy accusations against him. I'm just glad that we were the only people in the area, or else it would cause a stir if someone else had heard it.
"I don't know where Killian got those thoughts. I'm sorry, I should have defended you," I spoke up.
Although Drystan frequently visits our Pack as a family member, we rarely even have the tto talk to each other.
I was always so occupied with work that I didn't have tto spare to catch up with him as my old teacher.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe last twe were really close to each other was when he was still working as the leader of our Pack military. After that, we rarely met and talked to each other.
It is the exact reason why I felt uncomfortable taking his help since a lot of things had changed ever since he becthe Alpha and Killian and I got married.
"Forget about Killian's words. We know to ourselves that we have done nothing bad. Let's not allow his words to bother us," Drystan answered as he stroked my hair out of my face.
Drystan is the only person who has ednes
always been nice to me, except for Nova. I practically owe my whole life to Drystan, not just because he saved my life many times but also because he is the one who taughtthe knowledge and skills that I have now. If it wasn't for him, I would have failed as a Luna in the Silvermoon Pack.
"Also, thank you for telling Killian you're the father of my child," I said shyly.
I was shocked when Drystan suddenly claimed my child as his out of nowhere. Killian was already accusing him of a lot of evil things that could ruin his reputation as an Alpha. Yet, instead of denying all of them, he even claimed my child as his just to save my ass, even at the expense of ruining his reputation.
Drystan's face suddenly turned serious. "Astrid, I'm willing to be a
father to your child. I didn't only say those words to make him stop and convince him to leave you alone. I could be the father that your child deserves to have." X
