Chapter 260

Third Person's POV
Magnus remained silent, his hand gripping Aysel's as he pressed a kiss to it.
Damon paused mid-step, intending to step outside for some air. The intimate display froze him. Wolves could sense bonds, and this closeness-so natural, so effortless-was something he had never shared with Aysel. Their relationship had been a battlefield of endless quarrels, confrontations, and exhaustion. That had been the norm. He finally understood what she valued, what she truly wanted-but he no longer had the right to it. Not unless the Alpha beside her wasn't Magnus.
