Preparations for whatever is coming [Bonus chapter]
"Kitten?"
Damon's voice reached Talia, and she realized that she was back on Damon's lap and he was cradling her in his arms protectively.
"Do you think…" Talia inhaled forcibly. "Do you think that missing people from my pack were used for experiments?"
Damon puffed his cheeks. He didn't know how to answer this.
Over the years, some people from the Midnight Guardians pack would get desperate to find their mate, and they escaped through the portal into the human realm. None of them returned.
Talia got information from Vincent that the Guardians were aware of the portal's location, and they were watching it. If Guardians did that, there was a chance that someone else was watching the portal as well. Even if they didn't know the exact location, only by knowing the proximity, they could set up traps.
