Trishal’s POV I quickly hid behind the wall as Corman opened the door to take his leave. I wasn't intending to eavesdrop; I was actually on my way to give Loren a piece of my mind when I overheard their conversation. Did his mate die? I held my chest, imagining how painful it must have been for him all these years. I heard that losing one's mate to death is worse than breaking the mating bond between them. It feels like losing a part of yourself and knowing you won't be able to get it back until you die. That's why most wolves who lose their mates prefer to die. If they go on living, their minds slowly deteriorate until they are put down by their Alpha or a wolf stronger than they are. I peeped from the corner where I was hiding and saw Corman walking somberly to the entrance door.
