Chapter 61
“Alright… But just this once max. I’m not a weak lowly omega who cannot reheat her own meal.” Cassidy said as she took a seat on the stool at the counter,
resting her elbows on the smooth surface while watching max get the covered plates from the fridge at his own pace.
*I understand you are not Miss Roan and I am sure you can do things for yourself. This is my Alphas command. Besides… You are his woman. That makes you as good as my sister as far as I am concerned.” He said as he put the lasagna into the microwave to reheat it. He brought over a large piece of chocolate cake that had been saved for her and set it before Cassidy, grinning brightly. “And I have always wanted a little sister. So like it or not, you are part of my family.” He said before busying himself with other things in the kitchen while the pasta heated up.
Cassidy blushed brightly when Max all but claimed her as being part of his family, his sister and she being James‘ woman. She wasn’t sure she wanted to be any of that and she didn’t want people to think she was. “Max… I’m flattered you want to consider me all of that, but to be fair, James and I have a lot of damage to work out between the two of us and a lot of baggage to go through. If you want to consider me your sister, I’m game. But don’t get your hopes up for anything more please.”
Max laughed and took the lasagna out of the microwave oven and brought it over to Cass with a tall glass of water. “Calling what you and James have going on baggage is an understatement. Ive never seen anyone get him so worked up before. Not even mother can get him so bent out of shape. He was angry one minute and then sulking and drowning in his own guilt the next. Its good for him to feel something Cassidy. I don’t think he had any emotions until you showed up.” He told her while leaning against the counter. “Ive got some coursework to catch up on. Eat as much as you can, okay?” he said before he moved off the counter. “Just… don’t leave the house tonight. I want to live… and it really is not safe.”
“Dont worry. I promise I wont go wandering the woods or even the town at night.” She said, sitting up a little when Max came around and just wrapped Cassidy up into a tight hug.
“Good. Because I would hate to have to lose my little sister. Good night for when you sleep Miss Roan.” He said before giving her a brotherly kiss to the top of her hair and then letting go.
Cassidy laughed softly and shook her head. “If I’m going to be your little sister, you need to call me Cassi and not Miss Roan.” She scolded him and smiled when Max gave her a bow before he left through the kitchen doors. She sat there in the silence after he left, fork in hand, staring at the block of pasta and sauce in front of her. She wasn’t sure what to think about what Max had said about James and her. She didn’t think she had that much power over the alpha. He had enough control it seemed while he had been near her any other time. He seemed to know exactly what he had been doing every time he was with
her.
It didn’t take long for Cassidy to finish the plate of the home made lasagna and even the slice of chocolate cake. Her belly ached with the amount of food she had eaten and once she had cleaned her dishes and put them away, she headed up to the third floor. The house was very quiet. All of the higher ranked wolves were out on patrol and any of the wolves who worked there were already asleep in their own quarters for the early start in the morning. Even at night, the large pine beamed home was welcoming as she headed up the stairs and then to her room.
Cassidy changed into her night clothes, a simple pair of Grey shorts and matching teeshirt before she crawled up in the big bed and pulled her legs up to herself. She looked out the large windows of the room and suddenly felt alone for the first time in a long time. Her life had always been being near close–nit people like her grandfather or Jett. Not including the days she had gone into that false heat, Cassi had never truly slept alone since she was a child. With the threat of rogues looming out in the forest, she wasn’t sure she was going to be able to sleep at all but soon, the food she had eaten had began to work its magic and she snuggled down in the bed into a sleep that was anything but dreamless or peaceful.
