40. TRIGGER

~ Damon ~ * BANG! * The sound of the gunshot pierced through the air. Damon didn’t even have time to flinch. He stood frozen, thinking his life had gone past him.  But when the seconds passed and Damon still felt the heartbeat in his chest, he realized he wasn’t dead. He looked down and his body was still intact. There were no blood spots and he felt no pain.  What was that? Hugo and his men were also caught off guard. As if on cue, all of them paused for a beat before turning their heads to the side. Damon followed their gaze and his breath was caught in his throat. His heart stopped beating, but it wasn’t because of a bullet. “Violet…?” Damon couldn’t believe his eyes. Violet was standing before him, her long brown hair was blowing in the wind, and those purple eyes were shining brightly. Behind her were Adrian, Liam, Beau, and several other men. Liam had his hand raised and a gun was in his hand, smoke coming out of it. “Hey,” Violet said softly, but Damon heard it loud and clear. T
