Chapter Thirteen

Damian grunted as he backed into the front door and opened it. He balanced the large paper bag on his knee and tossed his keys on the stand by the door. Turning, he kicked the door shut behind him and walked into the living room. Awkwardly, he set the package on the table near the fire and stood to ease his back with a satisfying crack. He hadn’t realized how out of shape he had gotten and made a mental note to schedule workouts in the coming days. With all the fighting, his training regimen had all but lapsed, but after the day he’d had, he looked forward to doing nothing but relaxing.

He walked into the kitchen and drank a tall glass of water while he leaned against the counter and looked around. Max had apparently cleaned while he was gone, which he was thankful for. No matter how neat and tidy he was with his appearance, he tended to be messy in the kitchen, and most of the time, he didn’t even cook. He wasn’t sure how it always turned out looking like he was a master chef who disdained dishwashing.

The priest finished his water and returned to the main area. He paused in the dining room and looked at the stack of notes he had written with Abraham. It would be a huge fight, he could feel it, and he wasn’t entirely sure the older man was up to it. He had offered him a room at the house, but Abraham had declined and booked a room in a London hotel for some “quiet time.” Damian knew what that meant. He planned to get wasted and wallow in self-pity for a while. He didn’t like it, but he had given up babysitting the rogue fighter a long time ago.

The rest of the house was eerily silent except for the crackling fire. Max had gone to bed already, having packed his things and booked his flight. He couldn’t tell if the trainee was upset about the whole thing or not, but it had to be done. Part of being a mentor to the kid was to keep him safe, and he didn’t intend to drag him into one of Abraham’s mishaps, no matter how badly he felt for Elizabeth. He knew there had to be more to the story, even if Abraham didn’t know what it was.

Damian could still remember Elizabeth, even though he had only fought with her a handful of times. He remembered hearing about her leaving the team in Louisiana, but he’d never thought to ask whether she returned. Life had been crazy back then, with demons calls every other day. Other people going M.I.A. had been the least of his worries at that point.

He drew a deep breath and caught the lingering aroma of Max’s coffee experience. It was strong in the air, but he didn’t mind. It made him think back to when he lived at the barracks with the mercenary teams. Before
