Chapter 76: Preparations for the festival

~ The Dark Howlers pack ~

During their drive home, Talia was in a daze.

She couldn't believe that Alpha Damon held her so gently. It was something that she would never imagine as possible, but it happened.

The only indicator that they arrived back home was the loss of heat when he let go of her hand to open the door.

Talia watched Damon as he walked around the car to reach her side. She placed her hand into his when she exited the car, and just as his heat seeped into her palm, he let go, reminding her again that the magic was gone.

Something was stuck in Talia's throat, and she couldn't speak.

The sound of Stephanie's voice from the kitchen got Talia's attention, and she moved in that direction robotically.

Damon said that he will be working from his office, but she didn't respond. She couldn't.
