Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 229: Shadowrunner

Andros's POV

I stared at Father in surprise when he announced that Astrid would be joining us for the briefing. This is a highly confidential meeting. Even Asha has never joined us here before.

She's not even aware of our Pack's private operations. However, the Father is willing to spill all of our confidential operations to Astrid.

What does this mean? What are the father's intentions really in bringing Astrid here?

"Thank you for welcoming me," Astrid spoke firmly. Still, the flutter of nerves in her stomach is evident in her face.

Everyone is staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze as if weighing her in, but their father's steady gaze on her encourages her to hold her ground.

I opened my mouth about arguing with my father about this matter when someone spoke up first behind me.

"Alpha, are you sure you are going to bring her into this?" One of our men questioned, his tone skeptical.

I held myself back, seeing that there was no need to oppose my father when everyone inside the room had already opposed him.

My father's expression hardened slightly. "Astrid is my eldest child. She deserves to know about this. Also, I've seen her work; she has a lot of experience and an outstanding background. She will be a great help to us."

I maintained my stoic expression as I digested my father's words. She could be his eldest child, but she's just an illegitimate child born out of wedlock. She has no right to be in here.
