: Twist Drystanâs POV I clenched my fists when I heard what my Beta had said. Iâve been trying to form an alliance with the Frostbite Pack for months, and now the Silvermoon Pack just suddenly swept in and stole them from us.
Iâve been sending gifts and envoys to Frostbite Pack to convince their Alpha. To be honest, our proposition is a good deal. It is even more beneficial to them than it is to I just wanted to have a signed alliance with a high pack like them to stabilize our PackPack and strengthen our future projects.
We are just a small Pack who is just starting to establish ourselves in the werewolf community, but we are already getting trampled down without being given the chance for a fair fight.
Astrid sighed, making me look at her. I felt bad for her when I saw how her shoulders slumped and how she exasperatedly placed her forehead on her palm.
She must be blaming herself for this outcome again.
âAstrid âI was about to comfort her when my Beta spoke.
âAlpha, I think you should talk to your nephew. I think thatâs the only thing we can do to solve this problem.â
I gritted my teeth when I heard his insensitive words. I know he only gave that suggestion because he was trying to help, but how could he say this in front of Astrid?
I know that Killian deliberately stepped in and offered an alliance with the Frostbite Pack because he knows that I have. been trying to form an alliance with them. Astrid must have thought of this, too.
Since we are just a small Pack and the Silvermoon Pack is one of the most powerful Packs in this world, itâs normal for the Frostbite Pack to accept the Silvermoon Packâs proposal for alliance.
âWhy should we beg Killian to give us anything?â Astrid questioned, making the room fall eerily quiet. âSince they havenât signed anything yet, we still have the chance to turn things around.
âHow?â My Beta rebutted. âThereâs no way the Frostbite Pack would choose us,â Beta Caden shook his head.
âHave you forgotten that I was a Luna? When I was in the Silvermoon Pack, I didnât just handle our PackâsPackâs military; I was also in charge of our Pack relations.â Astrid narrowed her gaze on me. âGive this task to me, Drystan. Let me visit the Frostbite Pack, and I promise you will be back with a signed contract with them.â
âEven if you are capable of doing that, how would you be able to do it when everyone already thinks that youâre dead?â Betal Caden rebutted.
âI will wear a disguise or something. I know Nova can come up with something.â Astrid glared at my Beta.
âPlease, Drystan, let me handle this,â Astrid pleaded to me with squinted eyes I averted her gaze. Didnât I promise her that I will keep her safe +15 and protected in my PackPack forever? I cannot agree with this. What if something bad happens to her there, and I would be too far to protect her.
âIâll bring Beta Caden with me if that would ease your worries.â My eyes snapped to Astrid when I heard her words.
Itâs as if she could read my mind, but Caden?
âW-What?â Caden gasped out loud in surprise. I know why Caden is asking so many questions and trying to oppose Astrid; it is because he blames this misfortune on her.
âWhat do you say, Drystan?â Astrid questioned me, making me jump back from my thoughts.
âYâYou should bring Nova with you instead. I would feel more assured if you were with her,â I answered in defeat.
Astrid beamed happily when she heard my answer, but I was not as happy as she was.
Iâve thought it long and well enough. If thereâs someone who can turn things around, it would only be Astrid.
I did not entirely agree with Astrid for that reason. I know Astrid; if sheâs determined about something, she will never stop she gets it. I know that no words would ever change her mind. She would only be more desperate to get what she wants.
If I had the power to choose, course, I would rather just let her stay here; at least she would be safe my PackPack and under my care.
âThank you so much, Drystan. I swear, Iâll have the contract signed when Iâm back,â Astrid beamed happily.
âYou donât have to think about that. Just stay safe, okay. Take care of yourself, and donât forget that youâre pregnant,â I answered, which made her laugh.
âI can take care of myself, Drystan, and with Nova with me, nothing bad will happen,â Astrid assured me.
I sighed in defeat. âIâm going to inform the Frostbite Pack about your visit then. I will only give you one week, Astrid. After that, you can come back with or without the signed contract.â
âAgreed,â Astrid answered confidently with a smirk.
The only reason why Iâm just giving her a week is because I wanted to ensure her safety. I didnât expect that she would take this as a challenge instead.
âGo and meet with Nova for your disguise. Iâll take care of the expenses. Keeping your identity secret is the top priority here, Astrid,â I warned her.
âI know. You donât have to worry; Iâve never met anyone in Frostbite Pack before,â she answered, making me feel less worried.
