Following Aila and Finn's return, she stayed with Damon in their bedroom for a few days until her strength returned and her mental state was better. Damon took care of her, revealing an even gentler side to him that made her love him that much more. He never pushed her to talk about what happened, and he followed her lead if their kissing became passionate, which it always did.
Aila felt complete again, especially with the return of Malia and the effects of wolfsbane out of her system. Most of her cuts had healed now except for the hunter's emblem on her chest. The bond was no longer blocked, and Aila could feel a wave of emotions crash into her from Damon, which immediately followed with their lovemaking to help soothe each other.
