~ the Steelbite pack ~
It was after midnight when Cassie arrived home, to the packhouse of the Steelbite pack.
Everyone saw that she was not in a good mood, and they stayed away from her.
Alpha Richard gave Cassie about one hour to steam out before he came to her room, only to find Cassie sprawled on her bed with her head buried into pillows that did a lousy job in lowering the volume of her sobs.
Cassie was not sad or heartbroken. She was humiliated and furious. How can she accept this outcome?
She experienced Damon's intimate embrace more than once, and even though he was never cuddly or lovey-dovey, he never hurt her. Cassie didn't take it against him. He is an Alpha, after all. He doesn't need to woo women because they come to him, just how Cassie did.
Everyone knows that Alpha Damon samples a woman for one night, and that's it.
