~CASSELBA'S POV
WE ALL REMAIN IN THEO'S COUNTRY CABIN for the night. The man surrenders to me the larger bedroom, taking the smaller one beside the kitchen, and I'm surprised at his hospitality. He seems genuinely pleased to have me in his simple dwelling, and just before he slips in for sleep, he remarks that he and Mabel had intended the room for a nursery. Putting two and two together, I figure they'd been expecting before the Apex had their lackeys kidnap them. Theo says he hasn't seen her since the battle with the Ferals at Los Padres. I don't make any comment though, but inwardly, I make a fierce decision to find Mabel and return her back to her Alpha mate, one of the last good men, Theobald Rembrandt.
