Chapter 52: Hate or Compensate

Giselle’s POV

“Killian, what’s going on? Why are you here?” Killian’s mother bombarded us with questions as soon as we arrived at the Pack.

We have just arrived at the entrance to the Packhouse, yet she’s already here to confront us already.

“Mother,” I flashed Victoria a sweet smile as I welcomed her with a warm hug, knowing that Killian would be highly sensitive right now.

“What happened, dear?” Victoria asked me instead when she noticed the cold and indifferent look on her son’s face.

I glanced quietly at Killian and watched as he helped with the omegas, putting out the things we packed but never had the chance to use.

Killian has been deadly silent during the whole ride. He’s been silent and angry ever since we left the Nightsong Pack.

The tension in the car was unbearable. I could feel the anger radiating off him the whole time that I was with him. Astrid’s confession of cheating really affected him so much.

“Something bad happened while we were at the Nightsong. Pack, Mother,” I answered Victoria with a fearful look in my

eyes.

Victoria’s eyes narrowed in anger when she heard my answer. What? Did Drystan drag you out of their Pack? We have always welcomed Drystan to our Pack and treated him with kindness. Can’t he show some respect to his own nephew?!” She

trembled in anger as she spoke.

“I don’t think we should hate Drystan, mother-”

“And why not?” Victoria cuts off my statement. “First, he ruined our alliance with the Frostbite Pack, and now he pushed you out of his Pack, losing our chance to develop connections in the Werewolf Assembly! He is purposefully doing this to ruin us! What have we done against him for him to target us like this?!”

My eyes squinted in guilt as I caressed her arm to calm her down:

“We cannot blame Drystan, mother. His mind is poisoned by someone, which is why he is doing this. Someone is saying negative things about us,” I spoke as I started to get into her head.

“And who is it?!” My mother demanded in anger.

“It’s Astrid, Mother,” I spoke with a fake sadness in my voice.

Blood drained Victoria’s face as she looked at me with wide eyes. That was my reaction, too, the first time I found out that Astrid was alive.

Now that Killian already knows that she’s alive. There’s no point hiding that as a secret anymore. All I could do now was to make them hate Astrid even more so they wouldn’t want anything to do with her.

“A–Astrid? B–but isn’t she dead already?” Victoria asked fearfully. All of her anger vanished instantly.

“It’s true, mother. I couldn’t even believe my eyes when I saw her. And you wouldn’t believe it, mother. She was pregnant when we found her,” I added.

Victoria’s lips parted in stunned silence when she heard my words. “H–How could this be?” Victoria turned her gaze to her son. “Killian, is it-”

“It’s not my child, mother,” Killian answered coldly before her mother could finish her question

I’ve been wondering when he is going to join our conversation when he can hear our words clearly.

Victoria touched her heart as she gave a sigh of relief. She looked like a huge thorn was pulled out of her chest when she heard that Killian was not related to Astrid’s baby. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“That despicable woman!” Victoria instantly shouted in anger, masking her relief before Killian could notice it.

“Drystan and Astrid have been having an affair. Astrid was already carrying Drystan’s baby before we even got divorced,” Killian spoke emotionlessly.

Victoria’s eyes widened, not expecting that it was that bad. “W- What?” Victoria blurted out. A tense moment passed before she found her voice.

“What a shameless woman! She was even the Luna. And of all men, she chose to sleep with her husband’s uncle?” Victoria looked so disgusted as she uttered the words.

I bit my lower lip to stop the smile that was fighting to stretch my lips.

It would be a huge scandal if the whole world found out that Astrid slept with her husband’s uncle while she was still a Luna of the Pack.

Killian scoffed at her mother’s disgusted reaction. “Didn’t I do

the same thing with her? I also cheated and impregnated a different woman. That makes me o better than her.”

I stilled at Killian’s words. Even after everything that happened. he still defends her.

“How could this be compared to what you have done, Killian?!” Victoria yelled at his son in anger. “Your wife cheated with your own uncle. It’s already disgusting as it is, without mentioning the age gap. And the fact that Drystan used to train Astrid before makes it all even weird.”

“Could I blame Astrid for cheating, mother?” Killian shot back, making us fall into silence. “I was never a good husband to her. I never even stepped up to defend her when you bullied her. Astrid must have felt all alone at that time. How could blame her for finding what she deserves on someone else?*

With that, Killian walked away, leaving us speechless.

I clenched my fist in anger when I found out that Killian still hadn’t moved on from Astrid.

It doesn’t matter if he thinks that Astrid cheated on him and that his own child wasn’t his. As long as Killian doesn’t hate Astrid, there will always be a chance for them to go back to each other

It’s either I make him hate her, oft kill her, and we all know what’s more possible to happen
