CHAPTER 318 Show You How Part 1

  ~ CASIMIR ~

  Rake slipped back into the Council chamber just as the guards went to retrieve Jesse's brother, Ryan.

  Our eyes met and he nodded. 'It's done.'

  'Locked? Barred?'

  'Entirely. Except for the contractor. I've given him a key and been clear that he and his team are only to work when it's empty.'

  'Thank you.'

  'It's the right choice, Cazz. I'll always support you in those.'

  I'd sent Rake to handle a few practical details while everyone was distracted by this, so there wouldn't be awkward discussion that would put Jesse in a difficult spot.

  My den in the alcoves was being torn out. Eventually the space could become a lounge, or… whatever the pack wanted. I was not going to keep a personal den anymore. Not after… what had happened. I grieved the loss of my playground, but I couldn't do it to Jesse. We would have to find other ways to entertain ourselves when things returned to normal. Neither of us would be returning to that space. Ever.
