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 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.
