Chapter 113: Chapter 113

: Return Drystan’s POV It’s been a week since we made our stay in the Shadowfang Pack. It didn’t even feel that we had been here that long.

When I turned my phone open, a thousand missed calls and a thousand messages popped up on my notifications, including a thousand emails from different Packs.

Ever since our Pack’s alliance with the Shadowfang Pack was announced, my phone never stopped ringing, and Beta Caden never stopped begging and forcing me to come back to the Pack.

According to him, there were lots of Alphas from different Packs who flew over to our Pack, wishing to meet me.

Last time, when the rumor about my affair with Astrid blew up, everyone ignored me like I was invisible. They treated me like an outcast, but now that I have a connection with the Shadowfang Pack, people are so eager to talk to me like nothing happened.

The emails, calls, and messages I received just show how shameless they are. At the time when! begged them not to cancel their partnership with me, no one listened. The only Pack who never left us was the Frostbite Pack.

Since I am allied to the Shadowfang Pack and the Frostbite Pack is also allied to me, it would be like the Frostbite Pack is already allied with the Shadowfang Pack as well.

The Shadowfang Pack has always refused alliances with the other Packs. The only ally they have right now is us.

The only way that the other Packs could gain a connection with the Shadowfang Pack was by partnering with us, which is why Alphas from different Packs flew over to my Pack, desperate to talk to me.

Poor Caden, I left everything to him. Aside from managing the Pack on his own, he had to face Alphas from different Packs who were pressuring him and demanding to see me.

As the Alpha and the only leader of our Pack, I couldn’t be away from our Pack for too long, especially with what’s happening in the Pack.

However, Astrid needed me, so I had to stay.

I could only promise Caden that I would be back after a week. In the meantime, he just had to keep things stable and inform the guests that I was currently staying at the Shadowfang Pack, so they had to leave.

Since Caden wouldn’t stop begging me and forcing me to go back, I had to block my connection with the Pack link once again. I told Nova to block her connection with the Pack, too.

Knowing Caden, he would surely bother Nova if he couldn’t bother me.

Astrid, on the other hand, has lost connection with our Pack link after the incident, Ever since she woke up, her wolf still hasn’t resurfaced yet, which is why she couldn’t connect through our Pack link.

“Are you sure you’re going back?” Nova asked me. “I can take in charge and take care of the Pack so you could stay here with Astrid,” she offered.

I shook my head. This is my responsibility as an Alpha. Why should I hand that responsibility to her if I could do that myself?

“Thank you, Nova. I appreciate your offer, but as the Pack’s Alpha, I cannot be away from so long. I’ve been gone for a week. I really had to go back,” I answered her.

Nova and Astrid are close, and I also trust that she will take care of Astrid while I’m gone.

mij Pack for It’s not like I would be gone for a week. I will make sure to come back as soon as I settle everything in our Pack.

Nova pursed her lips. “What are you going to tell Astrid?”

“For sure she would understand. She was a Luna before, she knows my situation,” I assured her before I opened the door to Astrid’s room.

“Where have you been?” Astrid asked as soon as she saw us.

“Astrid, I need to leave,” I spoke in a low voice.

As much as I wanted to stay here with her, I couldn’t. The Pack needs me, and I’m afraid that Caden won’t be able to hold things up in the Pack if I stay here any longer.

“I’m going to come with you,” Astrid answered, surprising me.

“You can’t come with me. You have to stay here so they could monitor your health and help you. Our Pack isn’t as advance as this. We don’t have all the medicines available in this Pack,” I reasoned out to her.

“I’m fine. I’m already feg well,” Astrid insisted. “All I do all day is rest. I could just continue my rest in our Pack.”

“How about your wolf?” Nova joined in. “Have you heard from her yet?”

Astrid fell silent at Nova’s question.

“We can’t leave this Pack until we ensure that your wolf is okay,” Nova added when she didn’t say a word.

“I’m sure my wolf is going to show herself soon,” Astrid replied. “They used the Lunar Elixir to cure me. They said there’s no disease that it couldn’t cure, right?”

“Astrid,” uttered her name firmly. “You should listen to Nova.”

Astrid fixed me with a resolute stare. Her lips pressed into a determined line. Even after everything that she had gone through, there’s one thing that didn’t change.

Her stubbornness. That expression of hers that says she would never accept the answer “No.”
