*Tiana’s POV*

I didn’t speak to Ryder until we got back to the house and he made no efforts starting a conversation. I don’t know how to feel honestly. Whenever I think we are making progress, we hit a hard rock and end up back to square one. Again. I opened up to Ryder, told him all about my past and he awarded me with silence when I asked about his ex-mate.

When I told him about my past life it was not because I wanted him to withdraw the help from the western wolves, far from it. He brought me to this really nice place and I felt we were finally beginning to connect, I thought he was finally making an effort, but boy was I wrong.
