An unwanted invitation (1) [Bonus chapter]

Within a few minutes, Damon made appropriate arrangements for Axel to leave covertly with Tyler, Kai, and Meg, and Axel appreciated Damon's discretion.

"Thank you for doing this, Alpha Damon." And for not asking questions as to why we are leaving so suddenly and need secrecy.

"It's not a big deal.", Damon responded. "Is there anything else?" How Damon saw this, with Axel out of the picture, there will be one less problem to deal with.

Axel wanted to say how there was nothing else, but Talia was right there, and he only wanted a few minutes of her time, and it was important. His eyes drifted to the person in question. "I would like to speak with Miss Talia."

Damon's expression stiffened. "Speak."

"In private."

Hell no! "You can speak in front of me.", Damon said curtly.

Talia saw that Damon was irritable, and she moved to stand next to him. "I have no secrets in front of Damon."

"But I do.", Axel said without missing a beat.
