~Damon's POV
I leaned back on the couch after Kael and Rowan stormed out, their angry footsteps still echoing in my ears.
But instead of feeling bad… I smiled.
Yeah, I knew they were pissed. They didn't even bother to hide it. But in my head, all I could think was, they'd come around. They always did.
I rested my head against the cushion, closing my eyes for a second. My mind went straight to Lisa.
Before I could sink too deep into my thoughts, the door creaked open.
A guard stepped inside, not just any guard, but one of the men I had personally chosen and ordered to take Lisa home the other day. My mood shifted instantly. I sat up straighter in my chair, leaning forward with a flicker of relief.
"You're back," I said, already expecting to hear that my orders had been followed exactly. "So… you brought her back to the palace?"
