765 Damon's competition (cont.)

"Please, don't mind him," Luna Michelle said to Damon and Talia, unsure if it was alright to smile at Ashton's silly antics in front of Damon's furious expression. "Come on, Ashton. It's time to go home."

"You are not staying overnight?" Talia asked.

Alpha Cristian responded, "The drive is not long, and I need to handle a few matters in the morning. If schedule allows it, we will return tomorrow or the next day."

Ashton was not willing to part with Talia. He ignored Damon and stood in front of Talia, craning his neck so that he could look at her.

"Come with me!" Ashton demanded. "My room is big enough for both of us."

Talia's eyebrows shot up in surprise. The boy was decisive. "That is very generous of you, but I can't come. I have work to do here."

Ashton pouted. "When will I see you again?"

Talia thought how he was adorable. She would hug him if not for the fear that Damon might blow a fuse and harm the kid. "Soon."
