Chapter 51
Cassidy had made herself a sandwich with the pulled barbecue that James suggested. It was the best pulled pork she had ever had and enjoyed every last bite of it, washing it down with a glass of water before she left the pack house. It was already late afternoon and she wanted to get a good layout of the little town that seemed to be created along the road that passed by the front of the Packhouse. To the left is where she had come from. The rehabilitation house, the hospital she assumed and a school with a large playground across the road. She had seen office buildings and then odds and ends little shops, so far, the little town had a village charm with its small community that took care of the land with care. Since she had come from the left, Cassidy decided to turn right and explore the larger looking section of the town.
She was very aware of the people she passed and the stares they were giving her. The whispers behind her back of who she was, what she might be and how she killed the rogues. The older she–wolves looked to her with a wary curiosity and most of the women who her age had sneered and passed along the rumors Jennifer had started. There were a few however that had come forward and introduced themselves and welcomed Cassidy to the pack with open arms. Cassidy was not a very social person herself and she would find one excuse or another to end the conversations by the she–wolves who proved to be fairy talkative.
The right side of the Pack’s town was filled with homes. Several streets branched off into apartments two or three stories high and then single homes that were more out into the woods. There was a small grocery store and a gym another playground for children and a daycare. Everything was clean and very well taken care of and the pack generally seemed happy as they were coming home from school and work and just living normal lives.
“It is a little different than what you probably remember from home, isn’t it?” Jett said from behind her, startling Cassidy.
Cassidy turned around quickly at the sound of Jett’s voice, a happy smile on her face to see him but that quickly turned into a scowl and a huff before she turned back and started to walk off away from him rather quickly. “Go to hell Jett. I don’t want to talk to you or even look at you!” she snapped and kept walking until Jett jogged around her to stop her from running off from him.
Jett looked around, making sure there was no James Black in the area. He was told to stay away from Cassidy, but as her guardian for so many years and her unofficial beta, he had an obligation to her to at least try and explain himself. “Cass, please listen to me? I have done everything in my power to protect you all these years…” he said and moved in front of her to block her path when she tried to step around him. “I’m sorry Cassidy. I lied to you… I know. But I needed to get them to accept me. It was the only way I could think of to try and get you free. It was the last option. I couldn’t let you know, they had cameras everywhere. Please understand Cassidy, I didn’t abandon you.” He said, finally stopping when she had stopped and glared up at him. She was trying to look angry, but Jett could see the hurt in her eyes and that did nothing but just push the guilt he felt even further.
