Firestone Hot Springs You got someone to blame

Burke snorted as she somewhat complimented him on surviving a bloat attack. It was actually because of Meldresi that he survived in the first place. Now he was thinking of his mate again. Burke few sad from the inside. His pale eyes looked away for a moment. "I know about that, some at least," he returned, as he had seen her rather depressed. Burke then slightly frowned as she asked how he was. He never really opened up about what he felt, what he goes through. He ran his pack and all the emotional mess that happened he tried to deal with it quietly. 

"Life hasn't been tender with me either," he told her, just to make it clear to her that he also had his own problems to deal with. But then again he wasn't really nice to other living beings that weren't the wolves of his pack. "Not the same old at all," Burke then spoke vaguely. Everything changed. He was mated before, now his mate died. He became a single father while still having to deal with a grown up son, and an arrogant son like Damien. Burke didn't realize his eyes grew sad, because his thoughts wheeled back to Meldresi. He missed her badly. He bit the inside of his cheek better to feel that than emotions.
