Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 134: Important Task

Astrid's POV

"W-What? Pardon me?" I blurted out, my tongue stumbling for words at the surprise that he gave me with his words.

I was just resting in my room when suddenly, Alpha Theron summoned me to come to his office. I thought he just wanted to speak to me, but I was surprised when he suddenly assigned a task to me.

"The Emberwood Pack was just attacked by rogues, Astrid. They had suffered a great disaster, and all their leaders were massacred. The remaining survivors needed all the support they could get, and that's why I'm sending you to manage the relief efforts we will provide them," Alpha Theron explained, proving to me that I heard him right the first time.

He was genuinely assigning me the task of supervising Pack Affair. I don't understand why he is doing this. I am not in any way affiliated with the Shadowfang Pack. I'm not even an official member. Why would he ask me to go and represent their Pack?

My eyes blinked, taken aback by the weight of responsibility and because I didn't know what Alpha Theron was thinking. "But why me?" I asked as I looked at him with wide eyes.

Alpha Theron's brows suddenly furrowed, his expression instantly changing. "Don't you want to help the Emberwood Pack?" He questioned me, making me shake my head immediately before he could misunderstand me.

Although I know that he knows that's not what I actually meant.

"Of course, I don't mind leaving and supporting the Emberwood Pack. I would be very glad to help them, but this is a support from the Shadowfang Pack. Someone from the Shadowfang Pack should handle this task. I cannot take this responsibility," I explained so he would understand what I was thinking.

"If you are willing, then just take it. I am already giving the task to you." Alpha Theron replied carelessly with a wave of a hand.
