Twenty

CASSIE’S POV

I was in the middle of my beauty sleep when there was a knock on my door. In times like this, I hated being a light sleeper. I made a mental note to torture whoever woke me up in the middle of my sleep. I pushed the covers off me and padded my bare feet to the door.

“The hell?” I opened the door to see my dad by the door. He was wearing a pair of joggers with a tank top that hugged his defined muscles. Even for an aging man, he was still fit and brawny.

“You need to start training through the night, sweet,” he said as he folded his hands. I pouted, “Oh come on, dad.”

It’s been about a week since I became alpha and everything has been going fine as well as I’m concerned. “Let’s go on a night survey. Get your shoes,” he said and walked down the hall. I sighed and went to grab my trainers before following after him.

He waited for me at the bottom of the stairs to put them on before we left the pack house.

The smell of damp soil hit my nose making me exhale in satisfaction.
