Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 76: Confrontation

Astrid's POV

All of us sat at a loss in Drystan's office when we heard the losses that the Pack had suffered because of something that was not even real.

Drystan was reluctant to tell me anything. It was Caden who answered all my questions when I demanded it from him.

Apparently, all of the Packs who made an agreement with us after the Werewolf Assembly had changed their minds and wanted to pull back their partnership with us.

Only Alpha Everest from the Frostbite Pack didn't turn back on his words.

I pursed my trembling lips as tears stung the back of my eyes. All of these things wouldn't have happened if it wasn't because of me.

The Nightsong Pack suffered losses just so Drystan could protect me and my child from Killian.

Drystan's reputation was ruined because of me. With the huge losses that we suffered and without any packs who wanted to help us, the Nightsong Pack wouldn't last, and we would be in danger of disbanding soon. Drystan worked hard to build this Pack from scratch, but because of me, he is going to lose everything that he worked hard for.

"It's okay, Astrid. I can figure things out. You don't have to blame yourself for this. I will find a way to turn things around," Drystan assured me, even with the amount of problems that were pulling him down right now. I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to pull myself together and keep my tears inside the back of my eyes. Because of these hormones, I couldn't pull myself together.

"From now on, you can let me handle the calls, Drystan. I will talk to everyone who wants to cancel their agreements with you," I offered since this is the only thing that I can do to lessen the burden I have caused them. "I can't allow that, Astrid. Those Alphas are rude, and you are pregnant. Their words would only stress you out. I cannot let you deal with them," Drystan retorted.

I sighed as my hand instinctively reached out to my belly. "Then let me handle the materials that should have been delivered instead. I will find a Pack that is willing to take them so we can lessen our losses."
