Chapter 45
It took everything in James to leave the room, to leave Cassidy in there alone and not just give in to his instincts and take hér down to the bed and fuck her until she howled his name over and over. He stood at the door after he closed it, his Hand on the knob, just a muscle twitch from going back inside and doing what the wolf wanted him to do… the very thing he had fantasized about nightly since that very day down in the prison where he had her responding so eagerly to him. It was far too dangerous. Not because Cassidy Roan was dangerous, no. The danger was he would drive her away. He refused to let that happen. He had stubbornly ignored his wolf and even hers, rejected her on the basis of his own misunderstanding and fears and now he knew there was a battle ahead of him. He had to make her see he was not the wolf that kept her pinned up. He had to show her who he really was, not the alpha hellbent on protecting his pack.
James looked up when there was a small clearing of a throat, Jett standing at the end of the hallway looking anxious. “Is she okay?” he asked in worry for Cassidy. He didn’t expect her to be so angry with him for making the choices he had
made.
“Miss Roan is as well as can be expected. She has agreed to come into the Packhouse as my guest.” He said and when Jett started to walk towards the room, James was there in front of him in seconds, a low but dominant growl rumbling from him. He and Jett did not always get along, especially when it came to Cassidy. When he and the she–wolf fought outside of the prison and Cassidy blacked out from her wounds and trauma, James had to go out of his way to make Jett submit to him right then and there when the male went crazy trying to protect her. “You will stay away from her. She is mine!” he said with a snap of his teeth together in a hushed voice that held enough aggression in it Jett was already backing away. “Remember who your alpha is now and the loyalty you pledged… Do not disobey me.”
“Yes Alpha.” Jett whispered before he turned around and quickly left the building, not wanting to push James‘ temper
further.
James gave one last look back to the door he had shut and then down to the other end of the hall where a guard was sitting, his sole duty to keep track of the female alpha if she left her room. He gave a little nod to the wolf and left the same way Jett had gone.

Cassidy had not moved from where she sat cross legged on the bed, looking down at the little bundle of wild flowers that was tied together with string. She picked them up when she noticed a little folded up paper tied up with them, slipping the paper free and unfolding it. Colorful crayons were scribbled all over the paper with a child’s drawing of a woman in a bed, several scribbled names marking the paper with a womans writing at the top saying ‘get well soon!‘ Cassi help but smile at the children’s efforts to try and cheer a stranger up. She lifted the flowers and smelled them, closing t eyes, the scent taking her back to when she was a child herself and napped out in the fields that dotted the woods arour her old pack house. She sighed and folded the note back up, tucking it into the ribbon so it wouldn’t be lost and her mir turned back to James and his visit.
