Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 174: Acting Beta

Astrid's POV

One Year Later...

A lot of things had happened within just a year. Nova left, I have fully recovered, and I am now the Shadowfang Pack's acting Beta, a position that I didn't want to have.

Back then, I had no choice. When Alpha Theron came and spoke to me to offer me the position, I instantly declined him. I never wanted to have any connection with the Shadowfang Pack, and I especially never wanted to be a part of them. Beta Alek, the true Beta of the Shadowfang Pack, was sent to do a mission, and no one had any idea when he'd come back.

Thinking that he would be gone for a year, the Shadowfang Pack needed a Beta that could take his place for him while he was gone. Although Alpha Theron has two children who could take the position, one of them is not capable, and the other already has his own task. Asha doesn't know anything about Pack affairs. She grew up studying medicine, and that's the only thing she knew about it.

Meanwhile, Andros is in charge of handling the Pack's business in the human world, which had been his task even before Beta Alek had left for his mission. Andros is too occupied with the Pack's business dealings to take on the role of a Beta. There was no better candidate for the position except for me. I used to be a Luna, so I understand the ways of the Pack more than anyone.

Eventually, I had no choice but to take the position. I owe them a debt that I could never fully repay. The Shadowfang Pack had saved my life, not once, but twice. How could I turn my back on them now that they were the ones who needed me? In the end, I could only agree to serve as the acting Beta. It would just be a temporary service until Beta Alek is done with his mission.

After my service is done, I wouldn't have to owe them anything. They can consider everything paid and we wouldn't have to do with each other anymore.
