NovelEnglishChapter 18: Truths and Lies Giselle's POV My eyes blinked when I heard Killian's words, but I didn't let him know that I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked him.
I don't know if Killian is still in denial or if he just couldn't accept the truth right now.
I thought he had already accepted that Astrid was dead. We just saw her memorial service going on and even her ashes were there. What evidence does he need for him to believe that Astrid is dead? "I think Drystan is hiding something from us. There is definitely something going on that we had to find out," Killian answered making my brows furrow.
Drystan doesn't seem to be acting strange earlier. Although, it's normal for Killian to think that Drystan is acting strange because he doesn't know one thing.
Killian doesn't know that I sent werewolves to kill Astrid. I also imprinted the Silvermoon Pack's mark on their paws to frKillian so they would think that Killian was the person behind Astrid's attack.
The reason why I insisted on coming with Killian is to make sure that Killian and Drystan won't find out that I'm the person behind Astrid's attack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore Drystan could tell Killian that he sent his men to kill Astrid, I interrupted them and revealed my pregnancy to change the conversation which actually worked.
Thankfully, Killian agreed to bringalong and I was able to keep everything a secret.
"What makes you think that Astrid is still alive?" I asked him.
"As I have said earlier, Astrid is my mate. My wolf and I will know if she's dead. My wolf could still feel a faint connection with Astrid's wolf. For sure, she's still alive," Killian insisted.
"I thought Drystan had explained this already. His mate also died. He knows what it feels to have your mate taken suddenly," I replied.
Things would be easy if Killian just accepted that Astrid is already dead and is never coming back. In that way, it would be easy forto replace her in Killian's life.
However, it would be far more dangerous to believe that Astrid is dead when she's not. It's better to be sure that I have gotten rid of her for good this time.
Killian scoffed. "What Drystan said is a lie. As an Alpha, we don't get confused so easily. Even if we are in denial, we know it. Doesn't it seem strange to you that Astrid is already inside an urn? Unless I see her body, I won't believe that she's dead." An uneasy feeling crept overwhen I realized that Killian might be right. It's indeed weird that Astrid is placed in an urn already when her memorial service is not finished yet.
Also, the men I hired to kill Astrid had toldthat they never saw ber die with their own eyes. They said they managed to hurt her, but I'm not even sure if they are telling the truth.
en Since Killian is having his own doubts, I need to make sure that Astrid is truly dead.
I need to hire someone who could spy in the Nightsong Pack forto find out if Astrid is alive. If she is, then I must make sure to get rid of her the next time.
For now, I just had to convince Killian that Astrid was dead. I must make sure that their paths won't ever cross again.
Actually, the fact that he agreed to letcwith him just shows that our relationship went up a notch. Before, Killian never includedin any of his matters. He always entrusts those things to Astrid.
In just a week that Astrid is gone, he is starting to open up his life toand he is even sharing his thoughts that he wouldn't be normally sharing withright now. This just shows that he trusts me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThings improved between us ever since Astrid was out of the picture.
Before, Killian only showed more care towardsthan Astrid because I was pregnant.
Without my baby, he would never have paid any attention to me. The at he is fact that he is not the father of my child makes everything more dangerous for me. Once he finds out that he never impregnatedand nothing happened to us in the first place, he would surely hate me.
He had no idea that night he was drunk, he slept with his own mate, notI was already carrying Niwas someone else's child when I arrived at his Pack. I was supposed to sleep with him, but something happened and he ended up in Astrid's room and he had done it with her instead of me.
Luckily when he woke up he couldn't remember anything and I was able to fix things and make him think that he slept with me.
The truth is, I was already pregnant with another man's child when I m om arrived at his Pack. Xhe man who impregnateddidn't want to do anything with my child so I had to leave. Afraid and hopeless, I found new hope when I found out that Killian was never intimate with Astrid so I cup with a plan.
Killian and I would have ended up together if Astrid didn't steal him from me. I was only taking back what was supposed to be mine.
