Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 183: Filial Son

Andros's POV

My father's gaze sharpened when he looked at me after I asked so many questions.

"You don't have to worry about those things. I already have everything all planned out," he answered me, making me fall silent. "Everyone is already working together to prepare for the event. Since we are going to introduce Astrid as a part of the family, everything needs to be grand and special," my father spoke excitedly.

His eyes were glinting with excitement; he had already made up his mind about this.

I clenched my jaw as I tried to remain expressionless when I heard my father's words. I don't want him to know that I don't like this decision he made.

It was so sudden. What made him change his mind? The plan was to let Astrid leave once Beta Alek was back, just as Astrid wanted. Why is he keeping Astrid with us instead?

My heart sank when my thoughts made an unexpected turn. What if my father also changes his mind in the future? What if he suddenly chooses Astrid as the future Luna of the Pack instead of me, just as he had initially planned?

What if he is doing this to pave Astrid's path to the title? First, he made her the Pack's acting beta for three years to give her experience and the training that she needed. Now, he is finally announcing Astrid as his eldest child? What if he had changed his mind about me? For the past years, he had done nothing but praise Astrid for his diligent work and criticize me for being unable to keep up with Astrid.
