Like two ordinary people [Bonus chapter]
Damon was standing in the hallway and eavesdropping on the conversation between Talia and Maya with his ear pressed against the door of Maya's room.
Why was it taking so long?
Everything Maya said was right, but based on previous experiences, Damon concluded that Talia's reactions are unpredictable, and he didn't pick up any distinct good or bad emotions from Talia through the mate bond, so he was restless.
When he heard Talia thanking Maya and exchanging good night wishes, Damon quickly took a few steps back and leaned his shoulder on the wall.
Damon stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jeans while hoping that his pose was cool enough.
He didn't want to appear desperate.
Alphas don't do desperate.
Talia stepped into the hallway and paused when she saw Damon.
She didn't think that he would wait for her.
