章 1022: A human member of the DH pack

Damon paced through the waiting room under the steady gazes of Keith and Arya, who didn't get too close to the room where Talia and Violet were with doctor Travis and the nurses, but the duo was keeping an eye on the door from a distance.

Damon was impatient. Why was Talia's checkup taking so long?

He mind-linked her three times already, and she told him that it was almost done, but that was two "almosts" too many, and he was getting anxious. Was something wrong? It didn't feel like it because he could sense Talia's emotions, and she was a bit nervous but mostly happy.

"Is there something I can help you with, Alpha?"

Damon's steps halted at the sound of a familiar voice, and he turned to cock an eyebrow at an unwelcome man. It was Tatiana's obnoxious assistant. Mario. Did he address him as Alpha? What the heck?

Was Tatiana here? What about Maddox? But Mario seemed to be here on his own, and he wore a uniform like a nurse.
