Ryce leaned back against the wall outside of Saul’s new room, trying desperately to stop the impending tears from flowing down his face. He had to take several deep breaths, most of them catching in his throat and turning into sobs before he could stop them.

He couldn’t believe how callous Saul had been, almost to the point of being cruel. It didn’t seem to matter to him what they could have together as long as he still got to go into town every week.

Even then, after Ryce had agreed to keep things just the way they were, Saul had still ended things between them. Ryce just didn’t understand it. What was in town that held Saul’s attention so firmly?

Was it someone else? Was Saul in love with someone else? It was the only explanation Ryce could think of, the only one that made sense. Saul must be in love with someone else, someone who wasn’t his mate.

Why else would he go to town once a week to fool around? Why else would he end their relationship even after Ryce had told him he would continue to look the other way? Ryce slid down the wall to sit on the floor as his legs gave out, drawing them up to his body.

He didn’t know why he had never considered the possibility that Saul was in love with someone else. It just made sense. There was someone somewhere who could give Saul everything that Ryce couldn’t.

How was he supposed to fight that? He could complain and throw a fit, making Saul’s life hell, or he could give him what he wanted and look the other way. Only this time, Saul wouldn’t be coming home to him anymore. He would just be coming home.

“Ryce? Is everything okay?”

Ryce tilted his head back to look up at Cary, trying his best to give him a reassuring smile. “Hey, baby, did you get something to eat?” he asked as he reached for Cary, pulling him down to sit between his legs. He wrapped his arms around him and buried his face in his hair, breathing deeply to draw in his sweet scent.

“Did you talk to Saul?” Cary asked quietly.

“Yeah, I talked to him.”

“And?”

Ryce shook his head. “He won’t stop going into town and…and he doesn’t even want to be in a relationship with me.”

“He’s leaving?”

“No, he won’t leave,” Ryce chuckled bitterly. “He says he made a commitment to both of us and he’ll stay here to keep it, to make sure that you stay safe so that I can have you in my life. But he doesn’t want to be with either of us. We’re supposed to be with each other, leaving him out of it.”

“Why? I know he told me to leave, but I thought that was because he didn’t know I was his mate. Does he hate me that much?”

“No, I don’t think he hates you at all, Cary. I don’t think you even come into it. I think that Saul’s in love with someone else and he’s going into town to be with him.
