The moment I watched that strange man place his hands on Cassie, I lost my mind. She may not have been my mate anymore, but there was no way in hell I’d ever allow any man or creature to touch her in the wrong way. If I couldn’t be with her, then I’d still lurk in the shadows as her protector.
At least then, she could live her life, and I would know that she was okay.
Making our way down the hall, I headed straight for her room. I knew where it was and made a point the day she was moved to find out its location. Even though that was something I would never admit to anyone. It was clear they didn’t want me anywhere around her, and I wasn’t sure how people were going to take to me being around her now.
We arrived at her room, and I pushed open the door and stepped to the side, allowing her to enter before closing it behind us. There was a lot on my mind that needed to be said, but I wasn’t quite sure where to start without flying off the handle on her.
