Talia was in the living room, sitting on the sofa between Damon and Ashton.
Keith, Luna Michelle, and Alpha Cristian were also there.
Ashton was holding Talia's hand and ignoring angry glare of the Alpha, who was on Talia's left.
Luna Michelle tried to get Ashton into another room, but the boy was sticking to Talia, and Talia melted at his big puppy eyes directed at her, and "Do you want me to leave?"
He was adorable.
"Ashton is not bothering me," Talia assured the boy's parents.
And that's how Ashton ended up sitting next to Talia.
'He is just a child,' Talia would say to Damon through their mind-link every time Damon would growl at the boy.
'If he is a child, he would call you Aunty and not treat you as his future wife!' Damon grumbled.
Damon knew that Ashton was just a pup, but the idea of anyone being close to Talia was driving Damon mad.
'Where do you draw the line?' Damon asked.
