Chapter 227: Breakfast With Friends

Aila walked onto the sun terrace with Damon, hand in hand. His warmth was more comforting than the sun beaming down on her, soothing her from the uncomfortable thoughts of her vampiric being. As they approached the grand marble table with an array of fruits, pastries and pancakes, Aila picked up on the usual banter that instantly made her smile.

"Blink five times if you need me to rescue you from Finn.." Ajax leaned in close to a woman with brown hair and blue eyes; he stared at her intensely while she leaned away from him with widened eyes.

"She needs rescuing from you," Finn growled as he yanked the shapeshifter out of the girl's personal space before sitting down next to her. Ajax smirked and walked towards the empty chair on her right and flopping down as he threw a grape into his mouth.

"After seeing the way she drives, I don't think she needs rescuing from anyone. Heck, I reckon she could take us all on.." Ajax winked at the girl, who blushed in response.
