*Damon* I’m not crazy about driving the woman who I’m sure is my mate toward one of the most dangerous places in the kingdom, but I’m doing it anyway because that’s what she wants. I’m not really used to being this way. I can usually order people to stay away from things that are dangerous like this. It’s odd that I can’t be that way with my mate. I want to protect her from danger with every fiber of my being, but part of what I admire most about her is her strength and determination. Because of that, I’m extremely averse to doing or saying anything that might crush that aspect of her. Well, that’s something new. I guess I’ll just have to get used to it. I’m pretty sure that Alessandro and Braden feel the same way because they haven’t said anything that would stop us from going, eit
