Breakfast with guests
Shortly before Damon stepped into the kitchen…
Damon exited his study after finishing the last phone call with Alphas.
A list of four names was waiting on his desk and just as Caden said, they were upset that Damon left the meeting without explanation.
Four phone calls didn't take long because Damon had a story ready.
Damon explained that he had to leave abruptly because there was an urgent situation, and the fact that they caught spies only supported Damon's case.
After Damon promised to share relevant information from reports, all Alphas were pacified. Actually, they ended up thanking him for handling the situation efficiently.
Their pack members were at that festival as well as delegations from other packs, and if things escalated, everyone would be in danger.
Damon was pleased with this outcome. It was the almost-truth, and he didn't need to mention Talia.
