Reclaiming My Broken Luna

Chapter 45: Catastrophic Failure



Killian's POV

"What could have possibly gone wrong?!" I yelled out loud and slammed my fist on the table, making Giselle flinch in her seat.

I gave her the simplest task, and yet she still managed to ruin it. Our alliance with the Frostbite Pack is already a close deal. She just needed to get Alpha Everest's signature to make things official.

I don't understand how she managed to fuck things up.

"Don't yell at her, Killian, she's pregnant!" My mother scolded me as she softly caressed Giselle's back to comfort her.

“Just relax, Giselle, okay? Stress is never good for the baby." My mother's brows knitted together as she spoke to Giselle in worry.

I clenched my jaw in anger as I watched how my mother consoled Giselle and how Giselle enjoyed my mother's company.

She even dragged my mother into this, knowing that she would defend her and take her side. She couldn't even face me on her own and own up to her mistakes.

Giselle had just returned from her trip yesterday. I was waiting for her to report to me and submit the signed alliance papers, but I was told that Giselle was so sick from the trip that the Pack Doctor even had to check on her.

I waited for her to get healed, but when it was time for her to report things to me, she even brought my mother with her.

"What are we supposed to do now? Don't you know how beneficial this alliance would be for the future of our Pack?! I worked hard to make Alpha Everest agree to unite with us. It took me a lot of convincing to change his mind, but you ruined it in the end!" I pushed my office chair in anger.

"Calm down, Killian. You're fretting too much," my mother looked at me like I was overreacting. "Losing this deal is barely our loss. It's the Frostbite Pack who lost such a good opportunity to ally with us. What good would it be if we ally with a Pack that is too far from us?"

"There are better Packs out there that you should be thinking of forming an alliance with. Take the Shadowfang Pack as an example. You shouldn't be wasting your time with the other Packs. Think of a plan on how we can get the Shadowfang Pack to ally with us," my mother lectured.

The Shadowfang Pack is the most powerful Pack in existence. They are so powerful that they refuse to ally with anyone because they could sustain their own Pack.

With their precious Luminite, their future is already ensured. It would be a dream to partner with them, a far-fetched dream at that.

"Even so, it's humiliating that a small Pack declined an alliance with us? What would the other Packs think of us?" I shot back at my mother, which she couldn't answerContent © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just don't understand how Giselle

can fail such a simple task so drastically, voiced out in

astonishment at what she had done. "How did you manage to make the Frostbite Alpha hate you so much to kick you and ban you from his Pack injust one day of your stay there?"

Giselle couldn't respond. I scoffed in disbelief when her lips quivered, and she lowered her head like she was holding back tears.

"I thought you trained her? I wouldn't have given her this task if you didn't praise her too much," I spoke disdainfully towards my mother.

She turned her head away from me, not able to meet my gaze anymore.

"I-It wasn't my fault," Giselle sniffed. "When I arrived at the Frostbite Pack, Alpha Everest was already talking to people from the Nightsong Pack." My body stiffened at her words.

"What?!" My mother blurted out in surprise. "But hasn't he already agreed to ally with us? Why is he still entertaining people from a different Pack?"

"I don't know either," Giselle answered. "When I asked him that question, he just told me that he had changed his mind and that he was not going to sign from us anymore."

"So it's all the Nightsong Pack's fault then?" My mother's eyes narrowed into slits as she thought of the betrayal that had happened.

"I'm not sure. I don't want to put the blame on them when I don't have any proof," Giselle replied with her brows bent downwards. "I tried to ask Alpha Everest for a reasonable explanation, and I tried to convince him to honor his words, but instead, he Tashed out at me and demanded his guards to drag me out of his Pack."

Giselle choked back tears, trying her best not to cry out. "That bastard!" My mother's lips curled in anger. "If something happened to my grandson, I swear I would wage war against them. I don't care if I enrage the other Packs."

"You hear all this, Killian?!" My mother turned her attention back to me.

I swallowed hard when she looked at me, expecting that I would do something.

"You're not going to turn a blind eye to this, do you? Drystan might be your Uncle, but he disrespected us first by stealing this deal from us. You need to talk to him and teach him a lesson," my mother demanded of me.

Giselle's tears suddenly shrunk back, and she reached for my mother's hand. "There's no need for that, mother. I don't want to start any conflict."

My mother pushed her hand away. "You don't have to worry about that.”

"It's okay," I butted in. "I heard that the Nightsong Pack was chosen to host this year's assembly. It's best. to be on their good side; we can't afford to lose an invitation to the werewolf assembly. We have no idea if the Shadowfang Pack would come to the event this time or not."
