Astrid’s POV My life in the Nightsong Pack had been peaceful ever since Killian found out that I was alive and mistook my child as Drystan’s. Since then, I have never seen him again, and I haven’t heard any news from him.

I know I should be happy that Killian has finally given up on me. He is no longer bothering my life and forcing himself on me. Finally, I can have the freedom that I want without having to pretend that I’m dead.

However, I felt a heavy weight in my heart as I felt guilty for still keeping secrets from him. I thought I made the right choice by letting him think that Drystan was the father of my child, but now, I couldn’t help but think that I made a great mistake by lying to him.

Sometimes, I couldn’t sleep at night as I thought of what might happen once Killian realized the truth and found out that he was the father of my child.

I can never keep this huge thing a secret forever. Someday, my child is going to grow up, and he is going to ask questions.

Those thoughts kept me awake at night.

“Congratulations! It’s a boy!”

covered my mouth in shock, and tears welled inside my eyes when I finally found out the gender of my baby.

Nova, who was clenching my hand tight the whole time, also shrieked in happiness and jumped for joy even though she’d been hoping for my child to be a girl.

“Congratulations!” Drystan looked at me with joy and pride on his face. He had a lot with so much happiness, sat up on the bed and pulled him in for a hug.

Drystan was taken aback when suddenly wrapped my arms around him, but he didn’t push me away from him. Instead, he hugged me back tightly and caressed my back.

I softly pressed my chin on his shoulder as I leaned into him. for a little longer. With Drystan, I felt safe. I just feel comfortable with him, and I don’t feel afraid of making any mistakes around him.

It may be because Drystan and I had known each other for a long time. As my combat and self–defense teacher from before, I always made mistakes in front of him, yet he was so patient with me and taught me everything until I mastered all the skills that I needed to know.

I glanced up at Nova when I noticed her looking at us from the corner of my eyes. However, she averted her gaze as soon as she caught my eyes on her.

“Thank you, Drystan, for being here with me,” I whispered to him as I pulled away from the hug.

Drystan smiled back at me. “Of course, I’m excited to know if the Pack is going to have a little boy or a little girl running soon.

“Since he is a boy, he should have been Killian’s future heir,” Nova spoke softly in the background with her gaze lowered.

Hearing her words, my hand instinctively covered my stomach. I slightly shook my head and forced a smile on my face after I recovered.

+15 BONU That’s not true,” I muttered. “Even though I’m having a son, not going to be Killian’s first child. Giselle got pregnant first me. Her son is going to be the Silvermoon Pack’s future Alpha.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Drystan joined in when he noticed the sadness in my voice. “Your child is born Alpha no matter what, and no one can take that blood away from him. And if I fail to have an heir in the future, your son will automatically be the future Alpha of our Pack.”

My eyes went wide at Drystan’s declaration. Even Nova looked at him in surprise.

“I can’t accept that,” I stammered. This is all too much. How could my son inherit the Pack that he worked hard for?

“I’m only saying that just in case, Astrid. I would rather give this Pack to someone who has my blood than give it to anyone else,” Drystan answered.

I fell speechless at his words. That is a reasonable decision, but still… It just didn’t sit right on me.

“Don’t say that,” Nova suddenly interrupted. “You are still going to find your second chance mate in the future, and you are going to have your own child.”

I nodded my head in agreement. With a kind man like Drystan, I’m sure he is going to find the right woman for him.

Drystan only laughed at Nova’s words. “Where will I find her? I’ve been searching for her for years. Maybe she’s also dead already,” Drystan answered bitterly, pushing Nova into silence.

I reached for Drystan’s hand and squeezed it to comfort him. Drystan glanced at me with a surprised look in his eyes.

“

you will find the right person for you, Drystan,” I muttered consolingly. “You are a very nice guy. Whoever ends up with will be so lucky,” I muttered with a smile. Drystan just stared at us with a deep look in his eyes.

Someone knocked, interrupting our conversation. Our heads turned to the door to see only Caden, Drystan’s Beta, standing at the doorstep.

“They are here, Alpha,” Beta Caden spoke seriously with his eyes on Drystan.

Ever since we hosted the werewolf assembly, guests never stopped coming to our Pack.

“Another guest?”

asked happily. “From which Pack is it?”

Beta Caden fell in silence.

“I’ll be right back, Astrid. I’ll ga. check on our guests,” Drystan spoke up, not letting Caden answer my question.

I watched as they left in a hurry. My eyes narrowed slightly. It looks like they are keeping something from me.
