36 Walk in the woods

"Are you alright?", Damon asked Talia when they exited the pack hospital.

"Yes, thank you, Alpha Damon.", Talia responded.

Damon cocked an eyebrow at her. "Did you forget already?"

She looked at him questionably, and he said, "Just Damon. Say it."

Talia glanced around, to make sure no one overhears them. He is the Alpha, and she should listen to him, but if anyone else hears that she is addressing him casually, she might end up in trouble.

Everyone they met so far addressed Damon respectfully with his title, and Talia learned a long time ago that standing out is not a good thing.

"Damon."

He smirked victoriously. "Do you want to walk, or should I get a car? The packhouse is about fifteen minutes walking from here if we cut it straight through the forest."

She was not sure why he was giving her a choice. "Anything is fine."
