Chapter 107- Betrayal
Damon’s POV
Betrayal tastes bitter.
I never imagined I’d be standing here, listening to the man I trusted most plot against me
The scent of roasted meat and garlic filled the air, mixing with the faint burn of wood in the fireplace. Freshly brewed coffee and something fresh too.
But I noticed it slightly. I hadn’t asked for anything, but the kitchen was alive with preparation.
It was one of those small things I’d learned to overlook recently — people trying to watch for me when I didn’t ask them to.
But this morning, it wasn’t the mess that caught my attention.
It was Daniel’s voice.
I leaned back in my chair, holding
my breath as I concentrated on the discussion passing just outside my office door. The words were hushed, but I knew that voice anywhere. My Beta. My brother-in-arms. The man who had fought beside me through blood and war.
He didn’t know that I was in the office, he had come in and checked, and went through my things, my drawers, and documents, not knowing I was watching from the adjacent secret library where I had gone in to get a book.
