The Alpha Who Never Loved Me (Serena and Kieran) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Serena

The car was silent.

Kieran drove. I sat in the passenger seat with my phone in my lap. Sophie’s last message was still open on my screen.

Sophie: Are you there yet?

I did not respond. I did not know what to say. The man I sent her to reclaim shut her down in a hospital corridor ten minutes ago. My plan was not working. Worse, it backfired in a way I did not understand.

“We will go to the Alpha house next,” Kieran said.

My head turned toward him.

“What?”

“The Alpha house. There is a celebration coming up. Our pack is going into a partnership with another pack.” He glanced at me. “We need to make an appearance, show thegleadership is aligned, the marriage is strong It would6

be good for you to be seen ”

My stomach twisted.

Of course. Of course this was what he wanted. A performance. A public display of Luna-and-Alpha unity.

“I cannot go now.” My voice was flat. “I am tired. I want

to rest.”

He did not answer for a moment.

Kieran did not like things not going his way, he was definitely going to lose his mind over this. All he wants is control and when things shifted even slightly, he cannot

take it.

“Okay,” he said.

I turned to look at him fully.

Okay?

That was it?

“Okay?” I repeated.

“You are tired. Rest.” 2/8

I studied his face. He kept his eyes on the road. His jaw

was relaxed.

What was this?

Who was this?

When we got tk the house, I dropped my bag on the foyer floor, started walking toward the staircase.

“Wait.”

I stopped.

Kieran gestured to the couch in the living room. “Sit down.”

“I just want to go to bed, Kieran.”

“Sit.” He pointed to the couch.

I obeyed, anything other than obedience, the contract will be thrown in my face again.

I watched as he positioned in front of me, his eyes pinned en mine as he slowly lowered himself to his knees. 13:07

My body went still.

What was he doing?

His hands wrapped around my left ankle. He lifted my foot onto his thigh. His fingers worked the strap of the

shoe.

Then he pulled the shoe off, dropped it onto the rug, wrapped both his hands around my foot.

He started gently massaging.

My breath caught.

“Kieran.” I tried to keep my voice steady. “What are you doing?”

“Your feet are swollen.” His thumb pressed into the arch of my foot. “You have been on them all day.”

“We are not supposed to be doing this.”

“Why?” He lifted his eyes to meet mine.

“Why?” I pulled my foot back. He tightened his grip 913:07

my heel, held it in place. “Because we just signed a contract, not a reconciliation. Because I did not ask for

this. Because-”

“We are married, Serena.” His thumbs pressed into the ball of my foot. “Why can we not do this?”

His fingers moved up to my ankle. The touch felt good, it almost felt like the past months had not happened, that I had not cut my wrist open begging him to stay home with

My eyes burned.

We were married?

We were also married while he paraded Sophie around, we were also married when he spent a whole month with Sophie. We were also married when he baked her a cake and left our anniversary go her.

We were married then, did he forget that?

Did he forget the smell of my blood asi begged him to

stay?

stay with me.

“Go do this to Sophie,” I said pushing him away with my feet.

He kept kneeling there, his eyes on me.

“Serena-”

“Go.” My voice climbed. “Go find her and rub her feet. Rub her back. Kiss her forehead. Do all the things you used to do for her while I was begging you to stay. That is the woman you love, isn’t it? So go.”

He dropped my foot.

“Stop bringing up irrelevant issues,” he said.

I scoffed. My hands shook.

“Irrelevant?”

I leaned forward.
