Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 258: Lies and Manipulation

Killian's POV

My brows furrowed, wondering what Astrid had meant by that. Lies and manipulation? What truth was she even talking about?

I turned around to observe Giselle's reaction. Her expression faltered as if Astrid's words had struck a chord within her. But that moment of vulnerability disappeared just as quickly, replaced by a darkening fury. "You"

"Enough!" I shouted, startling everyone into silence.

Giselle shot me a look of protest, but I held her gaze, my anger simmering just beneath the surface. I could feel the tension crackling in the air, and I knew I had to assert control before this situation spiraled completely out of hand.

If I didn't stop this fight, their argument would never end, dragging everyone deeper into chaos.

"Don't you have any shame?" I hissed at Giselle. "Your son is watching and listening to your words. Is that what you want to teach him? As the Luna of the Pack, you shouldn't be squabbling with someone in front of the public!" I reprimanded her.

I watched as her jaw tightened, her fury momentarily eclipsed by the realization of my words. She turned her gaze away, unable to argue back against me.

"You should go and take care of Ryker before he gets sick," I ordered, my tone leaving no room for debate.

I felt bad for Ryker, who was still shivering while silently watching the scene unfold. His wide eyes

reflected confusion and fear. He was still startled by what had happened to him, and now he was watching people fighting because of him. I have to pull him out of here for his protection.
