After I Left, He Fell Apart
I checked myself out before Adrian came back.
Then I went to the Beastkin Authority.
“Hello. I'd like to dissolve my marriage with my husband.”
By rights, the beastkin world had no clear law governing marriage between a beastkin and a human, which meant our marriage shouldn't have qualified at all.
But to marry me, Adrian had argued his case before the Beastkin Authority, and we'd signed an agreement granting our marriage the same protections as any beastkin union. Only then was I granted a legitimate status.
The difference was, our agreement could be revoked by either spouse, unilaterally, without the other's consent.
