Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 1: Pregnant

Astrid's POV

My husband and mate Killian, who is also the Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, left the assembly and went somewhere with his ex-girlfriend leaving me behind.

As the Pack's Luna, I dutifully prepared for our annual pack assembly, but he nearly ruined it because he couldn't wait to spend time alone with Giselle.

Giselle was Killian's ex-girlfriend. She was his one true love, a woman who is better in many ways than me. Giselle and Killian were in love with each other. Even after Killian found out that we were mates and marked me as his mate and Luna, Killian only had Giselle in his heart.

As his mate, it kills me to know that my mate who is supposed to love and cherish me is in love with someone else. Killian had always reminded me that he felt nothing for me.

In the years that we were married, he treated me as nothing more than his mere subordinate.

Aside from being a Luna, I am also Killian's right-hand man in the military. I am in charge of the Pack training and I always work alongside Killian like I was his secretary.

With my fighting skills and abilities, no one in this Pack can take me down in a fight. With this, I earned my position in the military. It is also one of the reasons why Killian's father was so happy to find out that I was his son's mate.

If it wasn't for Killian's father, Killian would have rejected me as his mate. I would have lived miserably, watching Killian being happy with someone else and forming his own family.

I know that Killian never wanted me as a mate. I know that I do not have a place in his heart. I thought everything would be fine as long as I fulfilled my duties as his Luna and right-hand man, but things only got worse ever since Giselle came back.

Two months ago, Giselle came back out of nowhere. Ever since then, Killian had become more cold and indifferent towards me. He also started to neglect his duties because of her which added to my workload.

This cannot continue any longer especially now that I'm pregnant. With what has been happening recently, I know I can't keep this a secret any longer.

My palms grew clammy as I approached Killian's office. I hadn't seen him the whole night and searching his office was the first thing that I could think of.

Doubts and insecurities filled my mind as I went nearer and nearer to my destination. I couldn't get off my mind that Killian and Giselle had been spending time together for a long time.

Laughter entered my ears when I finally reached Killian's office in the distance. My brows wrinkled in confusion when I realized that the laughs were coming from his office.

I stared at Killian's office in silence. Its light poured out of the windows, but I could only see their shadows inside because of the translucent blinds that were blocking my view.
