Instead of responding, Gabriel turned his gaze to Nyla behind Damon. "Nyla, I won't give up that easily." "If you ever cnear her again, I'll make sure you regret it!" Damon's voice was filled with warning, his eyes blazing with fury.
Gabriel met his gaze without a hint of fear. "Don't worry. I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances to face off in the future." With that, Gabriel turned and walked away.
As Damon turned to face Nyla, he saw her pale face, clearly still shaken. The coldness in his eyes softened. "Don't be scared. It's over now," he said gently.

I was just really scared..." she explained.

"Oh, letget it for you," Nyla said quickly.

Do you wantto help you find a new place?" Damon offered. Nyla shook her head. "There's no need for the trouble. I'll reach out to a real estate agent tomorrow."
