Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 13: Broken Promise

Killian's POV

A week has passed and I still have no news about Astrid. The men I have tasked to look for her, still haven't come back until now.

The only lead we have of Astrid is the CCTV footage. However, no one could identify the stranger who had rescued her. It made things difficult for us to track her.

Every day, I'm growing more impatient as time passes by. It's been a week, but we don't even know if Astrid is safe or not. The longer that she's out there, the higher the chance that she is in danger.

I wanted to look for her myself, but my responsibilities were keeping me from doing anything else.

A lot of meetings, reports, and proposals are waiting for me to handle every day.

Heck! I've sacrificed my sleep and even skipped dinners just to finish everything, only to receive another pile of workload the next day.

My life has been an unending cycle of work recently.

"Are you serious?!" I blurted out in annoyance when our Pack's Beta suddenly entered my office with another stack of documents in his arms.

I haven't even finished the pile of reports that he had sent me earlier for review.

"These are the proposals and important documents from our allied Packs. They have been sending it to you via email, but you weren't responding to them. They printed the documents instead and delivered them to us," Beta Ryder explained as he placed the stack of documents on my table with a thump.

I groaned and wiped my face with my hand in frustration. How could I check my email when I'm constantly receiving printed reports just inside our Pack?

"Aren't you in charge of checking my email? You should have explained my situation to them!" I snapped at him.

Ryder frowned. "I don't have access to your email. Astrid
