The road of becoming self-sufficient
Cassie saw Damon standing in the hallway and she wondered, where did the girl from that morning go? Did Damon send her home?
Cassie knew that after the cold treatment Damon gave her, this was not the time to ask such questions and she needed to show that she will not be in his way.
"Alpha Damon, I see that something is weighing on your mind. I don't want to appear nosy, but I hope you are aware that I will help you in any way I can. I can ask my father to assist you, if necessary."
Damon didn't want to talk to Cassie, but he knew that she is not going to leave easily, and he was aware that Talia will come out of the kitchen at any moment and head up to her room. If Cassie notices that Talia is heading to the third floor, Cassie might suspect something.
He wanted Cassie to leave the packhouse as soon as possible, but for that, he needed a reason to send her away or he will risk angering her father and causing problems for his pack.
