He blurted out with lots of feeling and emotion, "I've calmed down now but I hated that you put me on the spot like that, especially in front of the Maximillian Tribe. It felt like you were trying to ruin my life and everything I have worked hard to achieve."
Ever since the day he hired a Starke to find the family journal for the Maximilians everything in his life had gone awry.
"This morning we slept together. That is something I wanted to keep private but you announced something so personal in front of the main family of the Maximilian Tribe. You announced to everyone that we were true mates, something the Maximillian Tribe equated to being married. What's even worse is that they never doubted you for a minute, they just accepted what you said with blind faith."
