67 Black hearted Cassidy…

Ramsey

I opened the door of my bedroom, finally letting the façade of smiles I’d had on my face all day.

I’ve just come from my grandfather’s ward in the pack hospital, he’s doing well at least. Although he’s still unconscious which the doctors said was due to the deep bites from the Ferals and the heavy treatment done on him afterwards but he’ll be awake soon.

As I entered my room, the sight of Cassidy pacing near my window made my blood boil with frustration. As if living every day with her in the same packhouse wasn’t torture enough.

I wasn’t in the mood to deal with anyone now especially not her. I crossed the room without acknowledging her as I began to undress. I started with the buttons of my shirt, though they felt particularly stubborn tonight.

Finally, I slipped out of the shirt, tossing it onto a nearby chair.

“Ramsey,” she finally spoke. “How is your grandfather? I tried to visit him earlier but they wouldn’t let me in.”

I moved towards the dresser and busied myself with removing my rings and placing them carefully on the ring plate. I picked up my discarded shirt and threw it into the laundry bin, putting enough distance between me and her. Anything to make sure she doesn’t come close.

“Ramsey?” she queried.

“I asked the hospital staff and the guards on duty outside his ward not to entertain any visitor, I said flatly. “At least until he’s recovered. He’s not in the best shape right now. It’s better if people don’t see him like that.

“Sure!” Cassidy nodded “I understand. “And what of you? How are you holding up? I heard that Alpha Logan died.”

“I’m fine!” I said with a clipped tone” A lot of people died that day, Cassidy. Alpha Logan was just

one of them.”

As I talked, I busied myself with arranging my things hoping she would take the initiative and leave.

We both fell silent before she cleared her throat and turned to me. I could feel it coming – the conversation I’d been avoiding for months.
