Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 4

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.

I forgot Astrid is required to knock before entering, but Beta Ryder could enter my office whenever he wants.

“Are the papers signed already?” Beta Ryder asked me as he strolled loftily inside my office.

I glanced down at the papers that my mind had barely absorbed. Before I could give my answer, Beta Ryder spoke up.

“You’ve been out of yourself ever since Luna Astrid left. What happened between you two?” Beta Ryder asked curiously.

It’s been three days since Astrid had left, surprisingly he is only asking that question now.

“Astrid is filing for divorce,” I answered him straightforwardly.

His eyebrows shot up when he heard my answer. “Are you serious?” He asked me in disbelief.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” I glared at him.

His brows furrowed as he thought carefully. “Is this a good thing or a bad thing?”

My eyes narrowed at him upon hearing his question, but I couldn’t blame him for asking such a question.

Although Astrid and I were married for four years, we had never been intimate with each other. I have never even treated Astrid as my own mate, but when Giselle came back I already made her pregnant.

It is common for Beta Ryder to think this way.

“Of course, it is a bad thing,” I answered him. “She is our Pack Luna, we cannot lose her.”

When I met Astrid, I thought she was just a weak werewolf who wouldn’t be able to handle the role of a Luna.

Of all the powerful women I could be mated to like Giselle, I ended up with Astrid who is born omega.
