It was Eden.
Damien almost clicked his tongue at her but stopped when he noticed the Vampire Queen appearing from the bank using a private door the boy had thought was meant for staff only.
"We meet again, young Amaris," the Queen addressed him, oblivious to the now frozen Ahara looking at her with that same fan girl twinkle in her eyes.
'Good. A distraction to get her mood in the right conditions.'
"Morning Your Highness," Damien tried bowing but Eden's grip on his neck pulled him back.
"You're not going anywhere," she forcibly whispered in his ear, faking a smile at her parents, who pretended not to notice their daughter forcibly gripping Damien's shoulders.
The Queen and her husband moved on to greeting Ahara and Kingston, leaving the kids to handle themselves alone. Eden let go of Damien's neck once she was sure he wouldn't run, crossing her arms by the chest and glaring at him.
"You!"
"What?" Damien snapped at her, rubbing his now sore shoulders.
