Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 235: A Partnership Andros's POV A flicker of distaste crossed my features at her casual reference toas one of Astrid's kin. "She's not my family!" I snapped, fury igniting in my gaze.

Giselle recoiled, surprise painting her face at my sudden outburst. I inhaled deeply, striving to regain my composure after failing to curb my reaction. "I'm not related to a monster," I hissed, diverting my gaze as I attempted to restore my usual demeanor.

Instead of retreating in fear, Giselle offered a playful smile, her eyes sparkling with intrigue. "Sir Andros, what brings you all the way here to see me?" she whispered, gliding closer with an effortless grace.

I met her gaze, and there it was the unmistakable glint of mischief, the spark of a schbrewing behind those captivating eyes.

Giselle was every bit as cunning and scheming as I had suspected. Of course, It takes someone like her to recognize her own nature, and now, knowing she had seen through me, she showed no hesitation in askingquestions.

"I sensed something was amiss when I saw you here, but I didn't expect you'd cspecifically forto discuss this matter," she said, stepping around to circle me, closing the space between us with a calculated elegance.

"The Pack courtyard and the Packhouse are at two different locations. You didn't need to take this route," she continued, her words a clever trap meant to cornerso I would no longer dare to hide the truth. What do you want, Sir Andros?" I held her gaze and smirked. "You already know what I want. Didn't I tell you already?" Giselle scoffed, a hint of amusement threading in her voice. "You chere to askto do your dirty work, didn't you?" I fell momentarily speechless at her words. I had thought Giselle would be easy to manipulate, much like Asha, but her cleverness caughtoff guard, leavinggrappling for a response.

"You've got it all wrong," I finally managed to say, forcing a calmness into my voice. "I'm actually here to help." Giselle shook her head in dismay and crossed her arms tightly. "As the future Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack, I expected more from you. I never thought that you could even defeat someone as insignificant as Astrid." I gritted my teeth as I felt offended by her words. However, I instantly recovered, not letting her meaningless words get through my heart.

I straightened myself and let out a laugh that dripped with disdain. "Insignificant? Do you still think she's insignificant? If only you'd finished your job before her identity was revealed, she wouldn't have turned into a huge problem for us." I leaned in, my tone sharp. "After so many failures, you still repetitively fall on the smistake. No wonder why Astrid still continues to torment your life." Giselle's expression shifted at my words; the playful spark in her eyes dimmed momentarily, and her brows furrowed slightly. She uncrossed her arms, taken aback by the intensity of my accusation. A flicker of irritation crossed her face, "You!-" "You should know better than to underestimate Astrid. Now, are you willing to have my help?" I cut her off before she could say a word after she took my words as offense.

"Touche," she replied, her voice steady but laced with a hint of defensiveness. "What kind of help will you offer?" she questioned.

"A help that you won't be able to resist," I muttered smugly as I brought out an old and worn-out book from my coat pocket and showed it to her.

It is the book that I acquired from Beta Alek, the one that he entrustedto burn. However, after reading its contents, how could I bring myself to burn a valuable book such as this? This book holds all of Astrid's secrets. It's evidence that I can use and that I should not burn it.

Giselle scoffed at the sight of the tattered book in my hand. When she saw it, she just dismissed it with a wave of her hand. She had no idea that this book held many ideas on how we can get rid of eason "Really? That old thing? Do you expectto believe it holds any real value? It looks like it's been through a war." I smirked at her response. Hearing her underestimation only fueled my confidence.

"I'm giving this to you since I already

have a copy. After reading it, you would know the answer to my question," I answered her as m carefully handed her the book, afraid that the pages would crumble into little pieces.

Giselle inspected the book in front ofwith a mix of curiosity and doubt. "An Almega? An offspring of an Alpha and Omega? Giselle questioned as she skimmed through the pages. Giselle stilled. She let in a sharp breath when something struck her. "You don't mean?" she breathed out as things dawned on her.

My father announced in the ceremony earlier that Astrid is the child that he had with an omegam "This book contains all we have to know about Astrid. This will help you know how to handle her." "You are givingthis book to lethandle everything for you," Giselle grumbled as she glared at me. I never liked my hands getting dirty. Besides, it would be too troublesif I got caught.

I smiled at her. "Astrid would be staying in your Pack. Can you really bear to let her live peacefully in your Pack with your husband?" Giselle frowned, and her breathing turned ragged at my words.

"We should help each other out, Giselle," I muttered, ending our conversation.
