Chapter Thirteen

Max

Once inside the house again, things seemed tense. All three of them stood in the hallway, looking at each other for a few moments. Gaw, this will be fun. Cassie squared her shoulders and walked to the dining room table, which was behind the sofa in the open concept dining space. She sat with a grunt.

“I suppose I should thank you for getting her back here?”

Wow, thanks from a witch. That’s a first.

“No worries, Mrs. Armel. Just trying to help,” he said with a shrug of his shoulders.

She eyed him for a second like she was trying to figure out his motives. “You can call me, Maddy.” She smiled, then turned to the table and sat herself directly across from Cassie.

Max shifted on his feet nervously. I suppose I should make myself scarce. “If you need me, I’ll be out in the cruiser.”

Max was almost out the door when Cassie turned towards him and said, “Wait, please stay.” Maddy’s eyebrows shot up and so did his. She really doesn’t trust herself with hearing the truth, does she? He looked at her mother to see her response. She rolled her eyes and gestured to the chair at the head of the table. “I might as well explain this to both of you since you have to work together.” A grunt escaped his lips in response as he sat stiff legged in the chair. Silence thickened around the table. God, this is intense. His wolf squirmed around in his head, not liking high emotions.

“I suppose I should start from the beginning?” Maddy began. She placed her hands out in front of her and entwined her fingers with her eyes downcast. “That would be good,” Cassie said, with a frown plastered across her delicate face. I miss her smile. She deserves to smile more often, Max thought.

Maddy sighed and began from when Cassie was a baby. “When I was with your father, we were happy and deeply in love. He was the apple of my eye and kept my world one. We were inseparable. But he belonged to a family that looked down on witches. They thought the mingling of our bloodlines was a disgrace. That is why the fighting started. Things seemed to head toward the worst outcome possible for us when I found out I was pregnant. Your father was so excited, he was determined to protect you even before you came into this world. He did everything in his power to bring peace. But in the end, it wasn’t enough. He vowed he would protect you and then, one day, he disappeared.

“As any scared woman, I went to my mother for aid. She did nothing but lecture me about how my choices were going to be the death of me. When I told her I was pregnant, she was dismayed. Even our witch coven wouldn’t accept you for the blood of your father running through your veins. The best thing we could do to protect you was to remove you from this world all together.
