Reclaiming My Broken Luna

: Moving On



Killian's POV

My mother's lips bobbed up and down like a fish, unable to answer my simple question.

My frown deepened at her strange reaction, but she immediately steeled herself by faking a cough.

"Huh?" My mother shot back at me once she had recovered. "I-I of course! Your father wouldn't have been the Alpha if he hadn't met me sooner," my mother answered haughtily.

"Everyone knows how your grandfather was convinced by Drystan's performance and started to consider him the Alpha. If your father hadn't met me sooner, your grandfather would have passed the position on Drystan instead," my mother shook her head in disdain as she was reminded of the past.

I slowly nodded my head when I finally understood what my mother meant. I was just thinking too much. My doubts finally vanished when I heard herBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

answer.

In werewolf Packs, it is our tradition to pass down a position or a title to the next generation only when the heir has found their mate.

It has always been like that in all Packs. The next Alpha should ascend to their position along with their Luna. In that way, the Alpha wouldn't have a hard time handling the Pack affairs on his own because he would immediately have the support of his Luna from the start.

This is the reason why ascensions happen most of the time after weddings. In the morning, the wedding will take place, and once the full moon has come out, they will use the same venue with all the preparations and proceed with the ascension.

In that way, they could save everyone's time and money.

Still, there are future Alphas who get wed first, and they wait for months before they can ascend to their titles. It really depends on the circumstances at Packs.

Although all Packs follow this kind of tradition, there are still exceptions. Sometimes, future Alphas need to take their positions early without a mate on their side because of unforeseen circumstances, such as the death of their parents.

There were some rare cases where sons would kill their fathers just so they could ascend to their position earlier than they should.

In some unfortunate circumstances, the Alpha dies too early before their heir can reach the right age to rule their Pack. In this case, only two things may happen.

It's whether they stay faithful to the young heir and support him until he is ready to rule the Pack, or they would just kill him or contest his right to be the Alpha.

"Let's not make this drag too long, shall we? Set the earliest date possible so we can start sending the invitations to other packs." My mind jumped back to reality again when I heard her words.

"I don't think this is a good idea,

mother. Giselle is not yet ready for

any position, as you know. This is not just about her reputation and how the Pack members might react, but she's not exactly worthy of becoming the Pack's Luna either," I tried to reason out with her.

I haven't even done anything yet, but I could already feel a headache coming by just imagining the uproar that it would cause if I forced Giselle into the Luna Position.

I've been dealing with a lot of problems lately. I don't want a huge controversy like this to add to my problems. I'd rather just do all these tasks alone my whole life than deal with my people's hatred.

After all, even if I marry Giselle and make her my Luna, I don't think she would be capable enough to help with some of my tasks.

"Learning can take time, but this can't wait any longer." my mother argued back. "I will teach her, and I will train her until she learns everything that she needs to learn."

I scoffed. "She even failed a very basic task, mother. I don't think she would ever be as capable as a Luna."

Her eyes turned into slits when she heard my words. "Have you lost your mind, Killian?!" My mother snapped at me. "I'm just concerned about my grandson, which is why I'm asking you to do this! Are you not

O

concerned about your own son at at?!"

I fell silent at her words.

"The child that Giselle is carrying right now is your own flesh and blood. Just imagine what psychological effects it would cause your child if he grows up with a broken family. My grandson is going to be the future Alpha of this Pack. Our future depends on him!"

I let out a deep breath as I lost all words to say.

I don't want to marry Giselle, ever. I never even wanted what happened between us. All of these are mistakes, but I cannot be selfish, especially against my own son.

Until now, my heart is still broken about how things ended between Astrid and me. If it's not Astrid, I don't want anyone else to claim the Luna Position.

"How could you be selfish on your own son?" My mother questioned me with a soft voice, adding guilt to my heart.

“Alright, let's do as you say, but put Giselle in charge of everything. I already have a lot on my hands right now. I couldn't face planning for a wedding," I muttered in surrender with heaviness in my heart.

What's the point of leaving the Luna position empty just for Astrid? Astrid has already chosen someone else. There's no way she would ever come back to me again.

Giving in to my delusions will not only ruin my life, but I might also end up ruining my son's life as well.

Right now, I should be focusing on how to be a better father to my son.
