Cassie entered her room (aka the guest bedroom on the second floor where she usually stays when she visits the Dark Howlers pack), and she paced while biting her nails.

She understood loud and clear that Damon wanted her out of here, but how can she leave? She just got here!

Damon was never ecstatic to see her, but she always played her role of an airhead perfectly. She would ignore his grumpiness and accept any affection, and he never told her to leave. What changed?

Cassie got her phone and called her father.

"Hi, pumpkin…", her father said in a singing voice that doesn't sound like it should belong to a vicious Alpha Richard of the Steelbite pack.

"Hi, daddy…", Cassie spoke in a whiny voice which told him that something is not right.

"What happened?"

"Damon told me to scram."

He snorted. "What did you do?"
