Damon Pov

As I followed my father out of the dining room I couldn't keep my mind from wandering back to Evie, will she still stay here even after my father displayed the monster I have only seen a few times in my life. I know she is scared of the rouges but I would wager she might be more scared of him. If she runs I will follow without a doubt. We continue our walk in silence for the next couple of minutes before we arrive at my fathers door. He pauses his hand grasping the handle of the door before he turn to me and asks "Will you join me for a nightcap Damon?" I look up at my father and see that it is more of a demand than a question so I nod and follow him into his suite. We stop in his sitting room and I walk over to the bar and pour us two drinks before returning to sit in the chair by my father. "So, what do you want to talk about?" I ask absently stirring the drink in my hand. "How long have you known?" He asks and although I know what he is referring too I decide to play dumb to see what more I can get out of him. "Known what?" I ask and manage to muster up a look of confusion before I glance at my father. "Don't play dumb with me boy. How long have you know about your unique connection to say the least." He says coldly. "I found out pretty much right when I met her. But not from either of us being hurt. She felt betrayal pains the night we went to the same party, and passed out and remained unconscious for about a week. That's when I knew something was different about our connection I haven't even marked her but our bond runs deeper than most." I say while looking for my father to give me any hint at anything regarding this newly developed strange connection that I share with my mate. I know two of our ancestors had a connection like this but has anyone else? I decide to ask my father just that. "Besides our Ancestors has anyone else had this type of bond?" I ask studying my fathers face for any signs of the truth. "Honestly son I don't know. I have only heard of the moon goddess blessing the first King and Queen with this gift when they united all werewolves and helped bring in the era of peace we have enjoyed for centuries. If anyone else has shared this bond they have never told anyone or at least anyone of importance for it to be made note of." He says stroking his chin deep in thought. "What do you think these means?" I ask him a bit of panic starting to creep up from gut in hearing the only others blessed with this bond received it as a gift during times of great war, does this mean a war is coming? "I don't know son... I don't know but I am worried. I feel we should start preparing our men and ourselves for the worst to be safe this includes your mate. You two should began training with the weapons master as well, you never know who or what you will be fighting." He says staring out the window with a conflicted look in his eyes. "I will let Evie know we start training after the ball." I say wondering what she is doing. "No son, you will start tomorrow. I don't want to waste a second and she needs to be able to defend herself against any threat and she clearly already has someone out for her. Do you know why the rouges want her?" He asks and I fight the urge to roll my eyes. I am fairly sure I told him this when I called home a week ago but maybe I'm wrong. "The rouge that took Evie told her that it was because his Alpha believed she was his true mate. Beyond that I have no idea she has never met this man so I don't know what would lead him to believe this she said she experienced the first attack on the night of her first shift... her shift was the first time they saw her. Then attacks ramped up following that I wonder if it because she is a white wolf, would that make her special?"I ask trying to gauge the danger she may be facing. "A white wolf.. I haven't heard of one in a long time. I am going to do some research about your bond and white wolves I will call you for another private meeting when I have answers. And about tonight, I went to far and I apologize had I know of your connection I would have never put your mate and yourself through that. I will work to keep my temper under control. Have a goodnight son." He says ending the conversation and dismissing me swiftly. "Thank you father have a good evening." I say with a slight bow leaving quickly so I can go find my little mate. I am shocked he apologized I don't think I have heard him do so in years. I was still replaying the conversation with my father when I arrive at our room only to find it empty. Where is she? I start to panic when I remember frequently finding her in the garden at Blackwood so I head that way. I feel a pull towards my mother garden and quickly pick up her scent by the doors that lead that way. I see her and feel excitement rush through my veins until I hear the sound of a male with her saying something about my mother. A growl rips from my throat as I start storming in their direction but then a familiar scent hits me, and at first I can't place it. I slow down taking another deep breath and it hits me it smells like my brother like Daniel, who I haven't thought about in over a year until tonight. I step closer again but he keeps his eyes on the ground keeping me from seeing his face closely, as I stop between him and Evie I ask " Daniel is that really you?" Slowly he looks up at me and I know it is him I walk to him and pull him into a hug. "Daniel oh my goddess! It's been years you never wrote me back I thought you hated me hated us and were never coming back." I say as he finally wraps his arms around me too hugging me even tighter. "Damon it's been so long. I don't hate you I never hated you I just wanted to forget, who I was, what I lost all of it." I see Evie studying us and I finally break the hug and clear my throat, I walk over to Evie and take her hand. "Evie this is my little brother Daniel, and Daniel this is my mate Evie Thomas." I say and I see everything click into place for Evie as she reaches forward and shakes Daniels hand. "It's so nice to officially meet you Daniel." She says and gives him a small smile which he returns and says " And you Evie, I look forward to getting to know you further." I thought I was shocked earlier but it is nothing compared to this. "When did you arrive? How long are you staying?" I ask almost too eagerly I can't wait to hear all about what he has been up to these past years. " I just arrived as you and father entered his room so he has yet to be informed of my presence, I brought back one of my friends from school his brother wants him to visit soon and he didn't have anywhere to stay until then. I told him it was about time for me to return and visit my own brother anyways. I don't know how long I will stay I guess it depends on the sort of welcome I receive from father amongst other things." He says with a laugh as we troll back into castle. "How about I leave you two to catch up?" Evie asks and attempts pull her hand from mine but before I can refuse Daniel does. "Oh no, you two have a good evening don't worry about me I was just about to return to my room anyways. I'm completely jet lagged and can not wait to see my bed. How about we all meet up for breakfast in the morning though?" Daniel asks and Evie and I agree at the same time. As we separate from my brother I can't help but think how much my life has improved since I met Evie everything seems to be perfectly falling into place.
