828 Story of empty promises

Damon and Talia stood in front of the modest home on the outskirts of Darkbourne.

Talia was nervous. What if the people inside start cursing her and tell her to leave?

The door opened, and a middle-aged man bowed with, "Alpha, Luna."

Talia's heart tightened at the sight of a man she saw at the Summer Solstice festival. That was Lulu's father, and they called him chef Page. Talia saw him only a few months ago, yet he looked like he aged a decade.

"No need for formalities, Page. We came here to see how you are doing," Damon said.

"I am honored. Please, come in."

Talia and Damon stepped into the house that immediately opened into a living room. There was one sofa, two sofa chairs, and a coffee table. Straight ahead was a kitchen with a dining area, and there was a small hallway on the right.
