Everything but twins

When Samantha started sobbing, Renato's heart broke in a thousand pieces. He felt the physical pain of seeing a hurt mate, but he couldn't know what was the matter.

He reached out to her hand, trying to comfort her. What could make her react like that? As much as to make her cry? He had never seen his mate in that state, so fragile and in need of care.

«Samantha,» he whispered, but she didn't react.

She turned his back on him and avoided his hand, hiding her eyes and nestling on the bed.

«What's happening? Why are you crying?»

«You don't want me anymore,» she complained. Only after saying the words did she realise how wrong they sounded. He didn't need to react to her prompts every time, after all. And they were in a difficult period.

Blaming him for not wanting to sleep with her was not just wrong, but also useless. However, realising it made her cry even more.
