Soon, a portal swirled open, blood-red.
Damon nodded. "Safe travels, Princess."
Alzara took a step toward the portal. Then hesitated. "And… thank you again. For saving my life. Umm… if anything happens… any new development regarding the orders and such… let me… or the Emperor know. We are very grateful for your help."
Aurora tilted her head, golden-black eyes narrowing as she observed the princess's reaction.
Alzara's gaze lingered on Damon before she quickly looked away. Her gaze then flicked briefly toward Aurora, Lirae, and Kate, women who clearly mattered to him more than she ever would.
"Goodbye." She stepped through the portal, and it closed behind her with a soft hiss. The room fell quiet.
Aurora was the first to talk. She crossed her arms and looked at Damon. "Hubby, you picked up another one, didn't you?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Damon awkwardly scratched his head.
"I mean her. That princess was all over you."
