You could not have pulled Damien away from Christine even if you tried and believe me- we tried. He was determined to stay by her side and he never let go of her, not even for us to look over her and make sure she was fine. She looked relatively unhurt and she told us she was good but I still wanted a professional to look after her just in case. She rode with Damien back to the palace while Ryker and I got the girls who were wide awake but her quiteted down and were not saying a single word.

By the time we got to the palace, the sun was beginning to rise and I was shocked when I noticed who was waiting for us. I glanced over at Ryker to see if he had noticed her as well and his jaw was set. There was relief in her eyes when she saw us but that relief quickly turned into hurt when she looked past us and saw Damien and Christine. She stared and blinked twice before disappearing back into the palace and it was at that moment that I knew I was done with everything.

With Aurora in my hands, I made my way over to Damien. “You better have a fucking good explanation because you are about to blow this entire thing to filth.”

“I don’t need to explain anything to-”

“Yes you do,” I cut him off. “You aren’t playing with toys, Damien, you are playing with people- with lives and you have the rest of the morning to get your story together and figure out what the hell it is that you want because this afternoon, you have to give answers.”

He looked pissed but he said nothing because he must have finally come to terms with the fact that I outranked him and I reserved the right to order him around however I saw fit. He nodded tensely and he made to go forward with Christine but I held out a hand to stop him.

“She goes alone,” I ordered and he opened his mouth to protest but then Ryker was instantly by my side.

“You have done enough for today, Damien, Christine goes with us and she goes alone. Why don’t you focus on fixing whatever it is that you just broke with Riley.”

“There is nothing to fix, I did nothing wrong.”

“Do you really believe that or are you just saying that to make yourself feel better?” I asked and thankfully, he didn’t answer.
