'Stay out of this, Talia…', her wolf growled. 'This doesn't concern you.'

Talia couldn't believe this. 'How can you say that this doesn't concern me?'

Talia came here with Damon so they can relax, enjoy time together, and seal their bond with marking, yet her wolf came in the middle, suppressed Damon's wolf, and is threatening not only to kill the lovey-dovey mood but also to stand in the way of Damon marking her.

Talia had a feeling that something might go wrong. She feared that Damon might see Talia as unworthy and change his mind, or rogues might attack them, or another delusional Damon's ex pops out of a bush and jumps on Talia to scratch her face, a swarm of locusts or a forest fire, anything was possible! But Talia never imagined that this evening will be ruined by her own wolf. Shouldn't wolves support the mate bond?

'What did I do to deserve this?', Talia asked dejectedly. 'I don't care when you woke up and I don't care why you didn't help me when I needed you, but… didn't I suffer enough? You are my wolf so you should know that Damon is my mate. I love him with all my heart, and he loves me back. Maybe he didn't complete your stupid condition to chase away Marcy without announcing that I'm his mate, but I don't care because he proved that he was willing to learn and make me happy, and I believe him. Why are you doing this?'

'You don't understand…'

'THEN HELP ME UNDERSTAND!', Talia shouted in her head.

Talia didn't want to yell at her wolf, but she felt betrayed on so many levels. Everyone either bullied her or ignored her, and then there was Damon, a handsome Alpha who looked at her like she was the only woman in the world. Sure, Damon made mistakes, but Talia took a few wrong turns also and Damon always came after her and soothed her into staying with him until she recognized who he was, her other half.

Over the years, Talia really wished for her wolf to come back. She was weak and insecure among werewolves, believing that her wolf was the part she needed so that she can be complete, yet now Talia suspected that her wolf was one of the people who left her to fend for herself, and it's not that her wolf was not helping, but it was standing in the way of Talia being with the only man who treated her as important.

Talia was sick of fighting against people who believed she was not worthy, and women who wanted to put their hands on Damon, and now even her wolf was an obstacle.

After a painfully long pause, Talia's wolf spoke in her head. 'Can I come in front? I can talk to Sapa, and you… listen.'

Talia was not sure why her wolf asked her that. And who the heck was Sapa? Was that how her wolf addressed Damon or was that the name of Damon's wolf? But most importantly… 'Do you need my permission to come in front?'

'Not really, but…'

'It takes a lot of energy to fight me. Doesn't it?', Talia asked as she remembered when she was trying to yank her wolf back the last time. And Damon told her that he tires easily when he takes control in wolf form and that the same is for his wolf when in human form.

'We are spirits, and the most taxing is when we fight against our hosts who are strong.'

Talia snorted. 'Me? Strong?'

'Your spirit is strong, Talia, one of the strongest. There is a reason why you survived all those years in the Red Moon pack. Now, do you want to know what this is about or not?'

'Yes, but... If you reject him, I will never forgive you.'

'I won't reject your mate, Talia.', her wolf said, and Talia had a feeling there was a second part that her wolf kept to herself. 'I wouldn't be here if you didn't insist.'

'But you suppressed Damon's wolf.'

'And if you let me in front, you will find out why. I know you have many questions, and there will be plenty of time for us to talk, but for now, can you just listen?'

Damon looked at Talia and anxiety swelled inside him when Talia's eyes started glowing silvery and her expression turned solemn.

Damon wanted to greet Talia's wolf, but he felt his own wolf stirring and fighting to come in front.

'Let me talk to her!'

Damon had no idea what his wolf wanted, but considering his previous interaction with Talia's wolf, Damon was happy to let his wolf handle this but, 'Don't mess up this for me, old guy. Talia is important.'

His wolf snorted before he took over control of Damon's body.

"Liseli, is that you? Does this mean that Selena saw my sincerity, and we can…"

Talia's wolf jerked her hands out of Damon's grasp.

"You remember me?"

"How could I forget? You are the only one on my mind since… we parted."

"Lies!", Talia's wolf hissed.

"Why would you say that?"

"You didn't know it was me, yet you wanted to mate this girl."

Damon's head shook. "No. I had a feeling it was you, but I wouldn't mate her. Not without confirming…"

"LIES!"

"Liseli…", he called with a voice full of grief. "You have no idea what I went through…"

"Why don't you enlighten me?"

"I lived a thousand of lives in the hope to find you. Selena took you away, but she left me here, and just when I thought that my death will save me from loneliness, I realized that I was unable to die, but without a body, my soul ended up attracted to the strong ones. I ended up transmigrating every time my host would perish. Some lasted a few months, and some a few decades, but no matter who my host was, I didn't mate any other."

"Then, what's this?"

"I can't leave them mateless, Liseli. I help them find their mate, and then I step back. None of my hosts mated in their wolf form, and I'm sure Selena will confirm that if you ask her. Don't you see? This was my punishment… to see others mated and happy. Every time my host found his mate, a part of me died because I didn't know if I will ever see you again. I was lonely but I persevered. That's probably why she let you come here, in that body, as Damon's mate. Can I show you?"

Talia could sense that her wolf's attitude softened, and she gave a stiff nod.
