Chapter 127: Half–Brother

Astrid’s POV

My brow furrowed in bewilderment when I heard his name. No hint of familiarity or recognition crossed my face after he had mentioned that his name is Andros.

I’ve been the Silvermoon Pack’s Luna for so many years and I’ve met many special and important people as one, but I’ve never heard the name “Andros” my entire life.

As my Luna, it was my job to widen our Pack’s connection and meet new people. “Andros” is a name that was never in my list.

He said I should know who he is, but his name doesn’t even sound familiar to me at all even though it’s a pretty common name.

“You,” he spat, the words dripping with contempt. “You should know me.” he fixed me with an accusatory glare.

He must have felt offended that his name didn’t gain the reaction he expected from me.

My mind raced, struggling to make sense of this confrontation. I don’t know him, nor do I know why he harbors such hatred towards me. Has he mistaken me for someone else?

However, he knew what my name was.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t believe we’ve met,” I replied cautiously, my mind racing to make sense of the confrontation.

“Don’t play dumb with me, woman,” he growled, his eyes arrowing to slits. “I know all about you affair with my father.”

I had no idea whether to deny his words or laugh at the absurdity of it. Me? Having an affair with his father? Just look how old is he, his father could be double my age. I’m not the type of woman who dates older me who has children my age.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I finally managed to voice out with indignation after feeling offended by his accusation. “I don’t even know you and I surely don’t know who your father is. I’m sure I haven’t met your father.”

The stranger scoffed at my words his lip curling in disdain. “You are staying in our Pack, and you say that you have never met my father? Do you really think I would believe a stupid answer as that?”

My cheeks flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and anger. This is the first time I ever went out of my room to enjoy myself and he had ruined it.

Without any idea, he just approached me and started picking up a fight against me. He is insisting things that I had no idea of what he’s talking about.

I swallowed hard and met his gaze to show how sincere I am in telling the truth. “I can assure you, sir, I have done no such things,” I retorted, my tone laced with offense, but still I spoke with respect even though he didn’t deserve it.

The stranger’s eyes flickered as my words momentarily pierced through his resolve. He must have seen the sincerity in my eyes and heard the truth in my words. However, that wasn’t enough to make him stop

believing what he believes in.

He remained unconvinced. He still thinks that I was simply playing the part of the innocent bystander, hoping to conceal the scandalous affair that he talks about.

“How would you expect me to believe that?” he sneered at me. The rumors about your affair with my father have been spreading like wildfire. It got so bad that this news even reached me so I had to rush back.

People are laughing at my father behind our backs. You are destroying our clean reputation with your scandalous actions.”

My heart raced inside me, a strange cocktail of emotions swirled within me. “What rumors?” I asked as I squinted my eyes at him.

Andros scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. “Do you take me for a fool?” he demanded, his tone dripping with contemot. “The gossip has spread far ad wide – your name is on the lips of every person in our community including the outside Packs.”

My brows furrowed, a flicker of confusion crossed my features. If rumor has truly been circulating around us, then how come I have never heard a word about it?

I fell silent and narrowed my eyes on Andros as I thought about whether believing his words or not. He could be exaggerating his words or he could also be lying about it so he could get out the truth from me

“Who is your father exactly?” I finally asked him. He kept talking about his father and I realized that he hadn’t even mentioned a name at all.

Andros gave me a long look, hesitating to tell me what his father’s name was. He must be thinking that I was only playing with him.

“Andros, you’ve mentioned your father several times now, but you’ve never actually told me his name,” added with a calm and measured voice. “Just tell me who your father is.”

Andros’s eyes narrowed, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of uncertainty cross his features. “My father,” he began, his words laced with a hint of reluctance, “is Alpha Theron.”

My eyes widened in surprise, the realization dawning on me like a thunderclap. A rumor that Theron and I are having an affair is spreading on around us?

How come I’ve only heard about this now? For sure, Alpha Theron had already found out about this. He has a lot of men working under him they must have reported this rumor to him already. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alpha Theron?” I repeated, my voice tinged with disbelief. “He is your father?” I questioned him

“Now you know what I’m talking about?” Andros spoke indifferently.

I stood in tense silence in front of him now that I have realized that the person standing in front of me is actually my half–brother that I never knew I had.

I’ve met Asha, and I knew she was Alpha Theron’s only daughter, but I never knew about the rest of Asha’s siblings.
