Damien felt her worry in her eyes. By the look she was giving him she would not drop the subject until he told her everything. He sighed he had originally hoped to have more time to think about what Freya had told him. But that will have to wait for later. He took her hand into his and intertwined his fingers with hers "I'm fine love." He smiled to reassure her bad pressed his lips to her and in that second time seemed to slow down as he felt the softness of his mates lips press against his. When he broke away he smiled once again, stroking her check with his hand. He gently took a tuff of her long black hair and placed it behind her ear.
"As you can see I am fine. And so are the others. Aurora followed my orders to the letter, and this...rouge didn't seem to have the attention of attacking any of us either. It has been a memorable morning dear, and I am tired. There is a lot to think about now." He said kissing her once more before attempting to make his way into the house. He stopped and turned to look once more at the forest. As he stared into giant oak, he felt it stare back at him.
He shivered at the thought, but he soon calm down as he remembered Freya's words.
"There will be no one to protect the forest huh?" He had thought to himself Freya had said those words to him for a reason he believed. Is that why he was here to protect this forest from whatever is coming? He had to admit it would make sense. From the very beginning he felt like something had drawn him here. When his grandfather had told him to find the birthplace he never told him where it was. To just follow the voice of the wind and forest. And that voice had lead him here. For the first time in a long time Damien felt frightened. Not at Freya or this oncoming threat but at whatever force it was that lead him here. And what this force will have him do in the future.
