[Damon]
He didn't know how it took all day to get ready or why the fuck he had to stay away from his mate. Sure, it was tradition and everything, but they weren't humans, and it was stupid. So, so stupid.
Damon moped around just thinking of it. Darius growled in agreement. They'd spent a few days cuddling, or in this case, he was cuddling Aila, who had looked positively shattered from the short time she had put this together and easily fell asleep in his arms with a slight snore.
It had been adorable listening to her, but Damon would never tell her she snored. Aila would get embarrassed, and there was no need to be. She'd been working her sweet ass off. As long as his mate was happy by the end of this, then he was happy.
