Damon was in the garden with Caden, Maddox, Tony, and Cristian. They were chatting to pass the time while waiting for Talia to finish her challenges so that the ceremony could start.
"It will be alright," Caden assured Damon. "Do you want to hear their progress?"
"No need," Damon said. He could feel Talia's emotions, and there was not a shred of negativity. Actually, she was happy, so he knew that his kitten was doing fine.
Damon could mind-link Talia himself, but he didn't want to interrupt. What if she ended up in trouble because he distracted her?
He could imagine her walking through the forest and stepping on a slippery rock and falling, and… what if their pup gets hurt?
Damon shook those thoughts away. It will be fine. Talia was careful and not clumsy. And then he remembered that unless he was holding onto her, she was prone to accidents!
