Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 4: Divorce

Killian's POV

Divorce? I couldn't understand.

I sighed and raked my hair in frustration when I caught my mind drifting off again instead of focusing on the paperwork that I had to finalize for the day.

My mind kept on going back to Astrid's words. I couldn't believe how she easily asked me for divorce.

Astrid has always been responsible and obedient as a Luna and as my right-hand man or commander in the military.

I couldn't believe that she would easily file for divorce knowing that divorcing me would mean she would have to give up her Luna title and it would also make things awkward between us.

I leaned on my chair and shut my eyes as I felt my headache coming. She must be talking purely out of her emotions. Once she had calmed down and saw the whole situation with a clear head, she would realize that the divorce would be too much.

I was just late for her grandmother's funeral and I have a reasonable excuse for that. If I really didn't care, I wouldn't have shifted to my wolf and raced to that place even though I knew I was already late.

For the part when I stopped her from being with her grandmother before she died, that wasn't intentional.

I had no idea that she was actually telling the truth at that time. I thought she was making excuses. I really had no idea.

If she didn't push Giselle off the stairs, she wouldn't miss her chance to be with her grandmother.

What would she expect me to do after she tried to kill Giselle and endanger the life of my unborn child?

Again, this is entirely not my fault.

I agree that I have been busy lately and have neglected Astrid's feelings, but it's not an appropriate reason to suddenly decide on a divorce.

I jolted when someone suddenly entered my room without knocking, I thought it was Astrid, but it turned out as no other than my Beta.
