Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 44: Hiding from Problems

Astrid's POV

I got a wide smile on my face as I hopped out of the car. Nova and I had just arrived back at the Nightsong Pack.

Drystan gave me a week to have the alliance papers signed. Guess what? Only a day was needed for me to get his signature. I'm sure he would be surprised to find out about my achievement.

I knock on Drystan's office before twisting the door open and inserting my head in. I beamed at Drystan, whose head was burrowed in papers.

I'm so excited to tell him the news, but he still hasn't realized who is at his door right now.

"Who is it?" Drystan slowly raised his head. When he saw my face all the exhaustion in his face vanished, replaced with the joy of seeing me.

"Astrid, you're back!" Drystan stood up from his seat and rushed towards me.

I entered his office and closed the door behind me. "Look at what I got," I showed the papers to him.

Drystan's jaw fell open when he saw Alpha Everest's clear signature. He snatched the paper from me and looked at Alpha Everest's signature in disbelief.

"H-How did you do it?" He asked in surprise.

I pouted. "You thought I couldn't do it?"

Drystan's brows furrowed, and he shook his head in denial when he heard the disappointment in my voice.

"But, Killian-"

Killian wouldn't know. Knowing Giselle, he would never allow Killian to find out that I'm alive." Drystan's brows furrowed in
