Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail Novels & Stories

Does she like him? “Thank you.” he smiles, beaming with pride. “I heard about what happened. I hope you will give my daughter a chance to sort it out. Astrid has been a bit overwhelmed lately. She had a nasty breakup, and it took a toll on her.” What is Peter doing? I know he’s trying to have her back, but I don’t think dragging her personal life into this is necessary. “Is that so?” “I did have a breakup, but I moved past that. Then…I fell in love again and got distracted, but…Men can sometimes be assholes…oops, I’m sorry.”

I collect my keys, water bottle, and phone, jump in the Escalade, and head back to Riverton for the afternoon. Except all afternoon, as I work with Jared on a list pairing up the Denver refugees with members of our pack that have offered to house them, I can’t stop thinking about it. I was freaked the fuck out last night when Astrid asked me who Anna was- I felt like she’d violated my mind by sneaking a peek at my most vulnerable moment. Can you blame me for going on the defensive? All I could think was that Astrid had no right poking around in my head like that.

Kaidën was nowhere to be found and to me he's the only reason I attend dreadful events like this. Xylara's mood seemed to be off as well. She was trying her best to maintain her good girl image talking to everyone with elegance and respect, I would've left everyone cursing at me if I was in her place. Just as I was starting to think that I couldn't take it anymore, one of the elder pack members approached me. "Astrid, we need your help with something," she said, her voice firm but polite. "One of the younger wolves has gotten into a bit of trouble, and we need someone to help calm them down."

The moment we entered the room and the door clicked shut behind us, Astrid’s relaxed posture dropped, and she walked straight to the window, staring out like she was already planning her escape. “Well, this is cozy,” she muttered under her breath, but I didn’t respond. She turned to face me, my expression cool. “We need to talk,” I said, my tone leaving no room for argument. She folded her arms across her chest, meeting my gaze evenly. “What now? We're going to stay here and play the couple in love?” she asked. “Aaron doesn’t buy into superficial charm. You think he's easy to convince? If I'd turned down the offer of staying here, that means, this is a sham” I bit out and she tipped her head

She was always depressed and had no interest in anything. No one could get her to listen. “Mother, honestly, I don't want David to become so excellent. I hope that he will be more ordinary so that my chances of being together with him will be greater. I like him not because I have good taste and can predict his achievements today. Even if he becomes a cripple right now, I will still like him and won't give up on him.” Gamora looked at Astrid helplessly. ‘Sigh, this girl is too far gone and there’s no cure anymore.

“If you can defeat me, why don't you jump onto that rock in just one jump? If she's not important to you, then just let her die tomorrow. Isn't that what you usually do? Killing women to increase your strength is your habit. It's up to you, if you think she's important then please come. I will wait for you until nine in the morning.” Parker's grin widened. Who knows what he was thinking? If he's still upset because I took him out of the pack, he shouldn't have brought Agatha. One of my weaknesses is that I can't think or use my powers, which can make Parker submit when I'm panicking. Yes, I'm panicking now. I already said that Agatha is quite different. She made me lose my sense of cruelty,

Author's POV “Remember you said there must be a reason why I approached you?” Astrid reminded Adams, looking down at him with a pleased smile. After all, she has got what she wanted already.
