***Tara's point of view

I glanced at the time as I rolled over in my bed. I was fully clothed, but I was not alone. It would seem that Trest had decided to stay the night. I couldn't decide how I felt about it, and I was just grateful we didn't mate last night. After getting dressed, I walked to Nimeuh's room where she was already awake.

"Morning, sleepyhead," she spoke to me.

"My lady," I responded with grogginess in my voice.

"How was your meeting with my brothers last night?" 

"I actually had a date last night, so I didn't go" I sat on a stool as she began to dress.

"With who?" I glanced at a picture on her chest. It was a photo of Danshel.

"Trest," I spoke hesitantly. Her head whipped around to face me, and the anger in her eyes was evident.

"How could you do such a thing?! He broke you!" I looked at her ashamed as I walked around her room. She just sat at her makeup station as her glare seeped into my soul.

"I had to, but It's not like we had sex last night. He may have stayed the night, however we both stayed fully clothed. What did you-" I was interrupted by the door opening loudly, and three people entered the room. I looked to see who it was. My eyes widened in horror as Nimeuh collapsed in shock. Danshel stood in the doorway with Trest and Beeja. "Uhh..."

"Nimy!" Danshel exclaimed as he rushed to hold his fiancé. He looked healthy enough, however the look in Nimeuh's eyes showed her fright. "I'm finally home, my love." The love that Danshel was showing was evident, yet Nimeuh had no expression. I could see the pure confusion on her face.

"D-D-Danshell?" She was hesitant with what she said. He looked into her eyes with pure trust, and I watched as her eyes turned cold. I groaned in anticipation. "I freakin hate you!" She blew up so quickly, that no one else had seen it coming.

"Nimy... Please," Danshel fought for her to listen to him. I walked up and grabbed Nimeuh's arm. I led her back away from the man in front of her. She just kept screaming vulgarities at him as he stood in complete shock. "Nimeuh! Please!" 

"Nimeuh," I pleaded at her as she clung to me in utter shock after we were far enough away that no one could hear us. "Dan is back, you should be happy."

"But," she began. "He made think he was dead. I can't just forgive that."

"But, you should be happy that he is here rather than dead somewhere else. You get to be with him again. I know you love him because you didn't care one bit that you were about to tear me away from my own husband for years." I huffed in rage, but I swallowed it down. It came out in tears instead. "You're the reason he cheated on me." I broke down then and I fell to the ground.

"Tara, I didn't realize what I was doing to you, I'm so sorry." Nimeuh laid down next to me and held me in a tight hug as Beeja and Trest walked up to us. I just continued to cry and cry as my emotions went haywire.

"Nimeuh, what did you do to her?!" Beeja exclaimed as he kneeled next to her and by my head. He put a hand on my head as he pushed my hair away from my face. I could tell without looking up that Nimeuh was giving Beeja a strange look.

"Sir, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to comfort my wife," Trent cautiously asked as he strode up behind his main job.

***Beeja's point of view

I then realized what Trent was to Tara. My world came crushing down as I realized just what Trent and Tara's relationship was. I had completely forgotten about that wedding all that time ago. The storm that night after their wedding ceremony as we all knew what they were doing.
