Chapter 22
Damian stirred as the soft sound of a knock echoed through the room. He blinked his eyes open, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. Glancing beside him, he saw Tanin still peacefully asleep, her face relaxed and serene. A small smile tugged at his lips as he leaned down, brushing a gentle kiss across her forehead.
The knocking persisted, and with a low sigh, Damian slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Tanin. Grabbing his robe, he made his way to the door and opened it to find a maid standing there, her head slightly bowed.
"Good morning, Lycan," she greeted respectfully. "Beta Rowan asked me to inform you about the auction this morning. He also sent these clothes that you ordered for the Madam."
Damian nodded, taking the neatly wrapped package from her hands. "Thank you. That will be all."
