The hard truth (2)

When Damon returned to the pack hospital, he found Keith and Arya standing guard in front of Valerian's room.

It was late afternoon, and Damon wanted to come earlier, but he needed to deal with rogues. Rogues didn't expect that Damon could attack from a distance, so they were sitting ducks while Damon practiced controlling his darkness.

After handling those pests, Damon assured that things were stable before he left matters to Maya, Caden, George, and James, who worked closely with Erik, Petra, and Zack. Mindy, Gideon, Owen, Zina, and Dawn were not idle, as they each had their tasks.

Damon quickly showered to wash away dirt and blood, got clean clothes, and rushed to the pack hospital. He knew that Talia was still there.

"You are dismissed," Damon said to Keith and Arya. "Report to duty tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."
