Killian's POV

"Why do you look so surprised, Killian? Don't you want the mother of your child to become the Luna? This isn't just about you or the Pack, Killian. You need to do this for your child. I don't want my grandson to grow up in a broken family," My mother added when she saw the hesitation on my face.

I glanced at Giselle who had kept her silence the whole time. Her head is also lowered, she's too ashamed to lift her head and look at me. "Time is moving, Killian. Before you know it, your child will be asking questions. I don't want my grandson to be confused when he grows up. As much as possible, Giselle should ascend as a Luna before her pregnant belly could turn visible. Understood?" My mother demanded.

I chewed my bottom lip as I assessed everything.

Deep inside my heart, I'm still hoping that Astrid would come back and claim her title, but I know that would never happen.

Astrid is already dead and I have to accept that. Letting Giselle ascend as the Luna would be a sign that I have already accepted her death.

Besides, aside from Giselle, there's no one out there who could be a better Luna. Choosing Giselle will make my life less complicated since she's already carrying my child.

Even though what happened to us is a mistake, the baby is innocent and I need to fulfill my role as a father to him in the best way that I could. "I'm handling a task that is exactly as what you have described," I finally answered in defeat.

"Our Pack is trying to form an alliance with the Frostbite Pack. I've already negotiated everything with them and the only thing left is a signed pact between our Packs.

I've never met the Frostbite's Alpha before and we have never visited each other's Packs. All that Giselle needed to do was visit the Frostbite Pack and meet its Alpha then come back with the signed Pact. That would be easy since I've already finished negotiating with them," I explained to them.

My mother beamed happily when she heard my words. "This is great news! Forming an alliance with another Pack is a huge thing. If this alliance gets credited to you, the whole Pack will believe that you are capable of being the Pack's Luna," my mother spoke excitedly with her eyes on Giselle.

Giselle softly smiled. "Thank you, mother."

"No need to thank me, you just have to do your best in this. Although this is a very simple task, you still need to leave a good impression on Frostbite Pack. You still have a lot to learn, but you don't have to worry, I will help you." Giselle smiled at my mother's words.

Astrid has formed so many alliances with so many Packs before without the help of anyone. She learned everything on her own with everyone against her.

My mother never liked Astrid, so she never took the time to train her or teach her anything.

Although, my father taught her some things until he died.

In our family, it is only my father who likes Astrid. He treated her like his own daughter because he saw her potential and value, something that it took me so long to realize.

Maybe if it wasn't for my father who supported Astrid, she wouldn't have lasted long as my mate.

"It's finalized then... I will send an email to the Frostbite Pack soon. I would tell them that Giselle would come to visit them with the pact that is yet to be signed." I told them.

My mother eagerly nodded her head. "That's great! The soon that we have this Pact signed, the sooner we can plan Giselle's ascension."

"Are you all right, Giselle?" I asked her when I saw the uncomfortable expression on her face.

It immediately vanished when I interrupted her.

"I'm alright, just a bit excited," Giselle forced out a chuckle.

Even though she's smiling, I know she's not feeling well about this. Giselle and I dated for so many years back when I still did not know that Astrid was my mate.

I know it when she's worried or hiding something. My mother is too caught up in her own excitement to even notice anything.

"Are you sure?" I asked Giselle once again, and this time she couldn't answer.

"You don't have to worry, Killian. Giselle could do this already. I wouldn't ask such an important task from you if she isn't," my mother answered for her and Giselle never corrected her.

Even though everything is settled already, this is still a very important task. The Frostbite Pack has high standards and they don't just form alliances with any Pack. Just a little mistake could change their Alpha's mind.

The Frostbite Pack's Alpha seemed enthusiastic about signing the pact with us though. I doubt that anything could go wrong. Even if I send an omega there, they could trulygo back with a signed pact. Content

I couldn't stop looking at Giselle since the uneasiness in her eyes never left her expression. I wonder what is making her feel so anxious about meeting the Frostbite Pack.

"Visiting a Pack, meeting the Alpha,

what would be so difficult about that?" my mother even laughed. "O I'm so happy that Giselle is having my grandson. Our bloodline would get tainted if that Astrid got pregnant."
