He shut his eyes and tried to block whatever image formed in the front of his mind.
I had tried to make things better and now I had only succeeded in making themworse!
Losing Sleii had been painful but it was always understood between us that ours was a business relationship, nothing more.
Although I lost him, I could easily find another.
But a soulmate… a fated mate no less…

“At least you had each other for all those years you were together,” I said helpfully.
“Yes. Yes, I suppose we did.”
