Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 29: Elder Luna

Giselle's POV

"Astrid is dead, madame," the spy that I hired finally came back with his report.

I let out a breath and sat on my couch when I heard his confirmation. Of course, Astrid is dead. The Nightsong Pack held her memorial service along with her funeral. How could she still not be dead?

It doesn't even make sense for Drystan to put on a whole show just to fool his own nephew. Even if Drystan and Astrid are close, why would Drystan betray his own flesh and blood for her?

I don't what is easier, to contend against a living person or a dead one. I thought all my problems would disappear once Astrid died, but Killian doesn't seem to have any plans of letting her go. It's been a week since Killian and I came back from the Nightsong Pack to check if Astrid was really dead.
