Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 406: Leaked Information

Astrid's POV

The words hung in the air, heavy and ominous. | felt my chest tighten, the

implications settling like a stone in my stomach. "What do you mean?" | asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Andros's gaze dropped again, his shoulders slumping as if the weight of his confession was too much to bear.

"If you suspect that someone's feeding the rogue king information, it wasn't me. It must be someone close to

you," he answered. "Since they know so much about the Pack, it could be someone in your ranks. Tell me, is

there anyone acting weird recently? Anyone you think that is hiding something."

"That's impossible," | instantly blurted out. "All of us wanted the rogue king gone. All of us were helping each

other to overcthis crisis. Why would someone betray us and work with the rogue king?"

"I'm not the one leaking information to the rogue king," Andros spoke sternly.

"Who do you think it is?" The question that escaped Killian's mouth madelook at him.

"Killian, what are you saying?" | asked as | whipped my head to him.

| thought he would take my side and have the sthoughts as me. | couldn't

suspect any traitor among us. It was impossible, absurd even.

Andros and Killian stared at each other for a long time, sharing quiet understanding. Killian was the first to

speak. "Was it an Alpha?”

My jaw fell at Killian's question. | never considered that one of the Alphas could possibly be secretly working with

the rogue king.

When Andros suggested that there could be someone working for the rogues among us, the first thing that came

to my mind were the members of our Pack.

"I'm not sure," Andros answered. "As | told you, | don't know anything about the rogue King. Aside from the

forsaken amulet, | have no idea what else he is planning or thinking. All I know is that he has a lot of people

helping him and it could be someone you would least expect."

Killian slowly nodded his head. "If he could have my mother work secretly for him, then he could have had

another Alpha or Luna working secretly for him too."

Who could it be? Who is he thinking?

Andros nodded. "You should check everyone. We can never be too safe."

Killian's fists clenched at his sides, his breathing uneven as he thought of someone like an Alpha and a Luna

working as a spy against us.

"Who do you think would have a connection to the rogue king?" | asked Andros.

Andros's eyes narrowed in thought. "I don't know who will. Maybe we would be totally surprised to find out who

that person is."

The sincerity in his voice struckharder than | expected. He wasn't deflecting blame, wasn't trying to escape

his situation.

If anything, he seemed resigned, his regret etched into every line of his face.

Killian's voice was low, trembling with restrained fury. "If we find out you're lying—"

"I'm not," Andros interrupted, his

voice steady but filled with quiet sorrow You don't have to believe me. | wouldn't blyou if you didn't. But I'm

telling you the truth."

| swallowed hard, my mind racing with possibilities. If Andros was right, then we weren't just fighting an external

enemy. The rogue king's reach extended much further than we thought, and the traitor could be anyone.

Killian exhaled sharply, his hands flexing as he tried to keep his emotions in

check. "Let's go," he said finally, his voice tight.

As we left the cell, Andros's parting words echoed in my mind, heavy with foreboding. Someone close to you.

Someone you trust.

The thought chilledto my core.

The walk back from Andros's cell was silent, but my mind was anything but. His words played on a relentless

loop, wrapping themselves around my thoughts like a vice.

| couldn't believe it. | didn't want to. For weeks, we'd all worked together, shared strategies, and fought side by

side.

We have held countless council meetings before this and no one was acting suspicious. Everyone was working

together to face the rogue king.

| would have known if there is a traitor among us, especially when we always talk

about strategies and defeating the rogue king during council meetings.

How could someone betray us? How could they betray their kind?

"Killian," I began, my voice hesitant, "We could be wrong about this."

Killian didn't answer immediately, his steps measured and deliberate. His jaw was tight, the tension in his body

palpable.

“I don't know,” he finally said, his voice low and strained. “I want us to be wrong. But can we afford to assume

we are?"

My stomach churned at his response. Andros's words felt like a splinter lodged deep in my thoughts, festering

with doubt.

| found myself replaying every council meeting we'd held, every conversation we'd had about the rogue attacks.

Everyone had seemed so... genuine.

| shook my head, trying to push the thought away.

"It doesn't add up,” | said, more to

myself than to Killian. "What does the rogue king want? To destroy the hierarchies, to rule over all

werewolves, to create chaos. Why

would an Alpha or Lunet

who thrive in the current system-align with that? It goes against everything they stand for."

Killian's gaze flicked tobriefly, but he said nothing. His silence only fueled my

unease.

His timing had been too perfect, his accusations too pointed. My steps faltered, and | stopped in my tracks, the

realization hittinglike a blow.

"What if it's him?" | said, my voice trembling.
