Andros's POV As I stared intently at Giselle, I couldn't help but notice the tension etched in her features.
It was clear that she was struggling with her emotions. I could recognize the anger and resentment simmering just beneath her surface.
Her narrowed eyes and tight jaw spoke volumes about her feelings towards Astrid.
A flicker of satisfaction ran through me. I wasn't alone in my feelings; I could see that Giselle shared my disdain, matching the hatred I harbored towards Astrid.
I shifted slightly in my seat, feeling the weight of the moment. It was evident that she did not approve of Astrid living with them in their Pack.
Her disapproval is more than just being protective; it's rooted in a deep-seated dislike that resembles exactly what I feel towards Astrid.
I understand what Giselle is going through right now. And right now, what she needs is help. I believe I could give her exactly the help that she needs.

The earlier we start the training, the better prepared we will be for the challenges ahead." My father's words hung in the air, a decisive move that shifted the focus back to action.
Alpha Killian nodded, his expression resolute. "We'll make the necessary arrangements for her arrival. The warriors need to be ready, and I'll ensure that we prioritize their training." Giselle's face turned even more ugly as she turned more upset by her husband's response. No one took notice of her except for me.
My father's gaze swept one last tacross the crowd before concluding the meeting. "Everyone is dismissed. Let's focus on our preparations and ensure our Packs are ready for what lies ahead." As the leaders began to rise from their seats, I sat and waited. I glanced at Astrid and Father, who retreated to the corner. I know the Father is worried about Astrid; he must be giving her reminders to take care of herself.
I could see how the father yearns for intimacy with his daughter. However, Astrid stood in the distance, still treating his own father like he was an Alpha and she was just his subordinate.
Meanwhile, Asha held an unreadable expression on her face as she left. Even as she hurried to leave the room, I could still read through her.
She's in a hurry to leave because she's afraid that she won't be able to hold back her emotions and accidentally burst out on her father.
I have told her to be smart. The more she makes mistakes, the more she will be estranged from her father. I'm glad to see that she took my advice very well.
"Father, excuse me. I'll continue with my tasks," I excused myself to Father respectfully before leaving.
My father just nodded his head, lettingleave. He is busy discussing things with Astrid.
Instead of taking my usual path to the Packhouse, which is nearest to my destination. I took a different turn instead and passed through the Pack's courtyard, where all the guests invited were staying.
As I was taking a stroll through the quiet pathways of the grounds, I spotted Giselle - heaving angrily in a secluded area, her fists clenched at her sides. She paced back and forth her brows furrowed, and lips pressed into a thin line.
The tension radiating from her is like the heat from a fire. It was evident that the earlier discussions still weighed heavily on her mind.
"Luna Giselle?" I called out, my voice steady as if I was just someone who happened to pass by and accidentally saw her.
Giselle froze up when she heard my voice. She instantly straightened herself, but it didn't hide the anger simmering on her surface.
"Is everything all right?" I asked worriedly as I took a step closer to her.
Giselle looked atwith wide eyes, clearly not expecting to seehere. I could tell she recognizedimmediately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, everything is all right. I'm so sorry. Did startle you?" Her brows pressed together, revealing a hint of concern as she stared at me, but I noticed the tension still lingering in her posture.
I took a breath, sensing this was my chance. "You don't seem fine," I said gently, keeping my tone inviting.
Her expression shifted, a flicker of vulnerability breaking through her guarded facade. "Well, you know the history of Astrid and me."
"I could see you must be feeling so frustrated right now. I could imagine the worries you are having now, 'n replied in understanding. "I also felt the sway when Astrid cinto our lives. I was frustrated to find out that I actually have a half-sister." Giselle's eyes widened slightly, surprised by my admission.
"Until now, I still hated her presence. Just like you, I just want her gone." I paused, letting my words sin Kinto her. "Ever since she came, she slowly started taking everything away from me." "Y-You know Astrid so well," Giselle spoke carefully. "Yes, and that's why I don't like her," I answered. "I'm glad that she's leaving our Pack. I just hope once she leaves, she will never cback." Giselle's jaw tightened, and I knew she also had the sdesires as me. Astrid was gone for three years, and now she's back again to ruin her life.
"We both have similar situations. Surely, you also have the swish as me," I prompted.
A smirk crossed Giselle's face when she now understood that we both felt the sway toward Astrid. "I can't believe that not everyone in her family likes her." Search the website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
