Triton stood upright from where he had bent low on the ground. He tossed his drawing stick aside and advanced towards me.
I folded both arms across my chest and avoided his gaze as I stared in the other direction.
"Maria, if Trevor wanted us to find him, he wouldn't have left. We have more pressing issues than searching for a man who left on his own will. We…"
"I refuse to believe it." I snapped immediately. "Trevor would never leave me. He is my mate. He loves me."
I fought hard to resist the welling in my watery eyes. I didn't want to believe Triton even if he repeated the same thing a thousand times. I wanted to take it as a lie, to rebuke the thought of Trevor ever leaving me in my lowest moment.
"He left, Maria. There's nothing we can do."
Right there, I couldn't contain the watery pressure in my eyes anymore. A teardrop escaped my eye, accompanied by more.
