The brothers moved as one unit the moment the ward chimed the second time.
Damian was out of the bed first, already pulling on his pants with efficient movements, he was already thinking about how to secure the perimeter and handle the diplomatic arrival without revealing Eve's vulnerable state.
Damon was right behind him, dressing with equal speed, his energy crackling with barely contained aggression. Rex was close to the surface...protective instincts triggered by the power surge, by Eve's unconscious state, by the arrival of unknown Court representatives at the worst possible moment.
Cain....still holding Eve....looked down at her peaceful face and felt the wolf's instinct war with necessity. Every part of him wanted to stay exactly where he was, guarding his newly claimed mate while she was vulnerable. But he was also an alpha, and the estate's security required his presence.
