Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 406: Leaked Information

Astrid's POV

The words hung in the air, heavy and ominous. I felt my chest tighten, the

implications settling like a stone in my stomach. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Andros's gaze dropped again, his shoulders slumping as if the weight of his confession was too much to bear.

"If you suspect that someone's feeding the rogue king information, it wasn't me. It must be someone close to you," he answered. "Since they know so much about the Pack, it could be someone in your ranks. Tell me, is there anyone acting weird recently? Anyone you think that is hiding something."

"That's impossible," I instantly blurted out. "All of us wanted the rogue king gone. All of us were helping each other to overcome this crisis. Why would someone betray us and work with the rogue king?"

"I'm not the one leaking information to the rogue king," Andros spoke sternly.

"Who do you think it is?" The question that escaped Killian's mouth made me look at him.

"Killian, what are you saying?" I asked as I whipped my head to him.

I thought he would take my side and have the same thoughts as me. I couldn't

suspect any traitor among us. It was impossible, absurd even.

Andros and Killian stared at each other for a long time, sharing quiet understanding. Killian was the first to speak. "Was it an Alpha?”

My jaw fell at Killian's question. I never considered that one of the Alphas could possibly be secretly working with the rogue king.

When Andros suggested that there could be someone working for the rogues among us, the first thing that came to my mind were the members of our Pack.
