Talia didn't respond, and Damon continued talking.
"If you die, I will follow right after. Don't think that it won't happen because I won't rest until I find who caused your demise, and once I make sure they are in hell, I will lose the reason to exist, and then the Dark Howlers pack will collapse."
Damon's voice softened. "The pack is depending on their Alpha and Luna to guide them; without us, they are vulnerable, like a boat in the stormy sea without a helmsman and there will be no one to take over the wheel because no matter how many skilled warriors we have, without us, other Alphas will make them submit. The stubborn ones will be killed, and the submissive ones will be enslaved."
Talia lowered her head. She knew that he was right, but still… "So, what do you expect me to do? To hide while my friends risk their lives to fight off the bad guys?"
