Practice

Megan woke the next morning in bed alone. She had no recollection of going to bed on her own, which meant Gabriel had moved her after she had fallen asleep. If he could do that, why couldn't he talk to her? Why couldn't Gabriel give her a straight answer about anything?

She heaved a sigh of frustration. Was it normal to struggle so much with a spouse so early in marriage? Then again, her spouse was barely human so who knew what to expect. There was so much they hadn't discussed that was integral to their future. What was Tetra?

Megan needed to know that Gabriel was being honest with her. That he wasn't keeping her in the dark about things that would affect her life. Could she even trust that he wasn't leading her on with no intention of staying with her even though she was his soulmate?
