With Victor Hale's case moved to the next year and no demon stupid enough to attack Damian, the rest of December was free and peaceful.
With nothing to do he could only spend it with his family. While it was mostly boring, Damian had grown use to boring. During this time he just watched his wives and his concubine fight openly. It reminded him of how they fought with Rin but now Rah was their new opponent.
At this point, he was already certain he would never live a peaceful life. So he just decided to get use to it.
The final night of December settled over the mountains outside Chicago beneath a sky without stars. Snow had fallen earlier in the evening, leaving the narrow road pale and empty beneath the headlights of a black van as it climbed toward Damian's estate.
