---POV Rosemarie--- “Let’s go baby girl. My parents and uncles are waiting.” Damon pursed through his teeth. Darting my eyes between the now empty hall and the tightened grip of my mate, I didn't know what to say, but I had definitely heard that tone before. With Parker. In seconds, Damon's warmth was gone, and he started walking towards the open office door. Wincing, I said, “You’re not mad at me though…right?” He stopped mid-step, pivoted and kissed me deeply before pulling away. He turned my face to look at his and didn’t let it move an inch. “Never apologize to a staff member unless it is warranted. Her actions were not warranted whatsoever. Understood?” I tried to shake my head but Damon's hold tightened. “I ran into her. It was my fault.” Initially I didn't want to say anything,
