After his encounter with the Volturi, Damon was worried about the safety of Kate and her clan. He knew the Volturi were not to be trusted and would do anything to maintain their power.
So, Damon and Kate met with the Denali clan to discuss a plan to protect themselves from the Volturi. After a lengthy discussion, they came to a conclusion: they needed to find a way to prove to the Volturi that they were not breaking any laws.
Damon knew this wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to do anything to protect Kate and her clan. So, he contacted a friend in a nearby city and obtained a complete copy of the vampire laws.
Together, Damon and Kate went through each law, looking for a way to prove that their relationship wasn't breaking any of them. Eventually, they found a law that gave them an idea: the law that prohibited the creation of a vampire army.
Damon and Kate knew that the Volturi feared any sign of a possible rebellion or uprising. So, they decided to use this to their advantage. They would create a false story that local vampires were planning an uprising and that Damon and Kate were leading the revolt.
Together, Damon and Kate worked on the story, making sure every detail was convincing. Then, they presented the story to the Volturi, doing everything they could to convince them it was real.
To their relief, the Volturi seemed to believe the story and left without harming anyone in the Denali clan. Damon and Kate embraced, relieved that their plan had worked.
However, they knew they still had to be on guard. The Volturi were not to be trusted and would always be looking for opportunities to increase their power. But for now, Damon and Kate were happy that their love and relationship were safe.
Together, they sat under the stars, enjoying the peacefulness of the night and promising each other that they would always protect one another.
