Triana came back to the packhouse and curled up into a ball on the bed, tears seeping through the corner of her eyes. She considered herself unlucky. First, she fell in love with Bruno, who turned out to be a cheater. Then she found her mate. She assumed tranquility had resumed in her life. But that turned out to be her erroneous assumption. Her mate accused her of deception.
She began to sob harder, pressing her face against the pillow. "Why did you let Alma come between us?" she lamented.
Triana fell asleep after crying for a long time.
The next morning…
Her sleep was disturbed when the early morning light flooded the room. When she turned to look at the other side of the bed, she discovered it was empty. The bedsheet on that side was smooth without any sign of a crease. She realized that Blaze hadn’t returned last night. This made her even more depressed. At the same time, she became enraged, assuming that he might spend the night with Alma.
