Who is qualified to sit by Damon’s side
"Oh, dear…"
Talia heard Stephanie say through her haze of conflicting emotions.
"Those two girls forgot this side dish. Can you take it to the dining room? Hurry before they finish with their meal…"
Talia was not willing, but she already avoided several rounds of taking food to the dining room and saying 'no' to Stephanie didn't sound like a good option.

In the dining room…
Maya was in the role of a host because Damon and Caden were still in the study, doing final checks on the security.
Alpha Maddox and future Alpha Axel were at the table with Maya when Mindy entered the dining room.
Mindy was irritated because she planned to make a grand entrance by being moderately late, yet Alpha Damon was still not there, and no one started eating so… she was not late at all.
"Where should I sit?", Mindy asked, and her sight fell on the head of the table that was empty. "Is Alpha Damon sitting there?"
