Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 2: Unwanted

CHAPTER 2

Astrid's POV

"I am not just a warrior in this Pack, Killian. I am also your wife and your Luna. Why should I apologize to your mistress that is not even a part of this Pack," I blurted out as I pointed an angry finger at Giselle.

Killian only scoffed in response. He looked at me mockingly like I was a joke to him. "You are so delusional!" He answered back frustratingly.

"When have I ever seen you as my mate and Luna?" He questioned taking me aback and causing a sharp pain in my chest. "If it wasn't for you, Giselle and I wouldn't have separated."

My body ran cold when I heard his blunt response. I never thought that he was blaming me for what happened between him and Giselle.

"Killian... I'm your mate," I retorted with my lips quivering.

"A mate that I never wanted!" He yells back and shatters what is left of my broken heart.

"K-Killian, the moon goddess chose us to be together. How could you choose someone else over me?" I asked back as my wolf whimpered inside of me.

His rejection caused a fatal blow to my heart because of the mate bond.

"I don't care! All this time I never cared! You are just a mere Pack Warrior. If you hadn't manipulated my father into forcing me to mark you, I would have marked Giselle as my mate and Luna instead."

I held myself together as I locked gazes with him. Looking into his eyes, I knew he was telling the truth. In the years that we have marked each other, I knew that he never liked me, but it hurts as hell to hear the truth come out of his lips.

"I never manipulated your father, Killian. I never asked him to force us into this marriage," I rebutted to clear my name.

"Really? Why would my father force me to mark a mere warrior if you haven't deceived him?!" Killian shot back, turning me speechless.

Even if I'm telling the truth, it was hard to prove my innocence with his question.

"Giselle had already suffered so much because of you. You do not have to punish her anymore," Killian hissed with menace making my body turn rigid.

I fell quiet as I stood still in front of them. Killian thinks that I'm bullying Giselle. Killian thinks that I'm the reason why he and Giselle broke up. Killian thinks that I manipulated his father to force him into marking me.

In short, he thinks that I'm a manipulative woman who wormed her way out to become the Pack Luna and separated him from the love of his life.

To him, I am the villain that ruined his life.

"Giselle, are you okay? Does anything hurt?" Killian asked softly, his anger vanished instantly as he fussed over Giselle worriedly.

I blinked as I felt tears pricking my eyes. Killian crouched down and looked at Giselle with concern etched all over his face like she was a fragile doll. Killian has never looked at me like that.

"I'm okay, but I'm afraid," Giselle's eyes watered as she looked into Killian and gripped his sleeves for comfort. "I badly fell on the floor. What if something happened to the baby? I need to go to the hospital and have it checked. I wouldn't be able to sleep until I know that the baby is fine," Giselle muttered with her lips curled downwards.

"Don't worry, I will take you to the hospital," Killian comforted her and carried her in his arms without questions.
