Kapitel 40: A way of protecting Talia

In the dining room, ten minutes ago.

Damon was caught by surprise when Talia left with Stephanie. He wanted to go after Talia, and his wolf agreed, but then Cassie appeared at the door and Damon paused.

If he goes after Talia, Cassie will notice and target her.

'You were supposed to get rid of Cassie a long time ago!', Damon's wolf growled in his head. 'Sent her packing and go after our mate!'

Damon pinched the roof of his nose. 'Cassie is just a fly. But a fly with a hurt ego and big mouth can cause damage. Even if she doesn't know that Talia is my mate, just the fact that I'm treating Talia differently will put a target on her back.'

'So, what is the plan, wise guy?', his wolf asked sarcastically. 'You will pretend that mate is not here until this annoying she-wolf leaves?'

'I can't act differently. Talia's safety comes first.'
