Kieran

She was on the couch when I got home.

Her legs were tucked under her, her phone in her hand, her eyes on the screen. She did not look up when I walked in. She did not acknowledge the sound of the door, or my footsteps.

I set the folder down on the coffee table in front of her.

“How are you doing?”

She looked up to meet my eyes with a der glare born from hate. “That is a stupid question to ask.”

I did not respond to that. I sat in the chair across from her and pushed the folder toward her.

“Look at this.”

She glanced at the folder then glanced back at her phone. “I am not really interested.”

She rolled her eyes and adjusted in her position. She clearly did not want to. The effort of looking at me was already costing her something, and looking at something I had put in front of her was even more demanding.

I continued to watch her as she reluctantly set her phone down and then took the documents.

I watched her eyes move across the pages. I watched the moment she understood what she was reading, the small pause, the second scan, the way her thumb stilled on the corner of the page.

“I have thought about it,” I said. “Everything I own. The houses, the accounts, the investments. It is being transferred to your name. Sign it and it is done.”

She closed the folder before slowly looking at me. A scoff escaped her mouth as she shook her head.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Because I want you to have it.”

“You are a cunning man, Kieran.” Her voice was flat and quiet. “You will give it to me today. Then tomorrow, whey

it suits you, you will find a way to take it back. And what you take back will be more than what you gave. That is how this works.” She pushed the folder across the table toward me. “I do not want anything to do with you.”

She rose to her feet about to walk to the room. I was on my feet instantly, rushing after her.

“Serena.”

She stopped but did not turn around.

Watching her walk away like this, no care or concern for what I had placed in front of her made my heart ache.

This cold woman was a stranger that had possessed my wife. My Serena wouldn’t be this heartless. My Serena loved my gifts.

“Is this how we will continue to live?”

She turned then.

“You want to talk about how we live?” Her voice was still quiet. “Think about whether I am here by choice, Kieran. Think about the contract. Think about the clauses. Think,

about what happens to me if I break any of them.”

The contract.

I swallowed, feeling the heaviness of my heart and the despair wrapping around Cora. Serena’s words were sharp and cruel. But nonetheless, the truth.

“Can we just talk?” I asked with a particular kind of heaviness weighing on me.

She tilted her head. “Do you want to talk about our feelings? Do you even have any feelings?”

I opened my mouth but no words could come.

I closed it.

She was not angry. That was the thing. If she was angry I could have met her somewhere in the middle of it. But this was something past anger.

It hurt to see that she had closed her ears and her eyes to any form of reasoning. She had convinced herself that I had cheated on her, I had broken her trust and ruined our marriage that it was all taking a figure as this cold woman right here.

I exhaled. “Come to the Alpha house for a meal.”

“No.” She said it without pause. “My work is demanding. I cannot spare the time.”

She turned and walked down the hallway.

I stood in the living room and my eyes found the folder on the coffee table before taking in the path to the

bedroom she had taken.

At some point it stopped mattering what I said or what I offered. The contract I held over her became a wall

between us, and I was on the wrong side of it, and no amount of asset transfers or dinner invitations was going to pull it down.

She placed the contract at the back of her mind every time she looked at me. She lived here, she breathed here, she slept in our bed and walked through our halls, but she was not present.

And I couldn’t tell when her presence began depleting.

The days that followed proved me right.

of water I offered, every plate of food the housekeeper left for her, every moment of proximity I manufactured.

She was careful. She was watchful.

She kept her distance from everything I touched.

The contract said she had to be here.

She was here.

The contract said she had to perform her duties as Luna.

She performed them.

Everything else, the warmth, the conversation, the chance that she might look at me the way she used to look at me, she had sealed those away somewhere I could not reach.

And even though the contract did state that she was supposed to love me, it was as if she could not even make an effort to pretend.

Suddenly, there was nothing I hated more than the contract that was making her life miserable.

contact, I would never see her again. I couldn’t risk that.

A dispute came between two beta families, a boundary disagreement that had existed for months and led to the people from each side not being able to move freely.

Th Alpha’s voice was needed in this. Luckily, it was an easy fix and soon I was finished with it..

I stayed afterward.

Jenna was in the sitting room with my mother. Someone had the television on. I sat down. I took the tea my

mother handed me.

Then the program changed.
