This has been a long time coming.

Honestly, when Smith finds me sitting at the kitchen island in the middle of the night, waiting for him to walk in, I’m shocked he seems even marginally surprised.

Of fucking course I’m here to call his ass out.

Who does he think he is? As if we didn’t sleep in the same house growing up. As if we didn’t claw our way up from the gutter to build this one together.

The back door falls shut behind him. His brows arch. “Cass. What are you doing down here?”

I crack my knuckles, staring at him over the spotless expanse of the kitchen island. This place really is immaculate. Remi must be working herself to the fucking bone. The thought puts a growl into my voice as I pin him with a glare.

“Waiting.”

Smith scowls, sighing. “Cassian, it’s after midnight, and I haven’t even eaten⁠—”

“But you will,” I cut in. “Because Remi left you a plate. Made you a special meal, actually, since D and I ate with the team and she had dinner with her friends.”

I turn, pointing at the stove. “So, she stood there and prepared a whole-ass meal for you. The ungrateful asshole who won’t even talk to her.”

He opens his mouth, but I cut him off. “You forced her to move in here!” I shout. “You barked her out of her home and put her in a dusty spare bedroom with no nest. Last week, I found her in my closet, Smith. Hiding. Because of you.”

He swallows but doesn’t move to speak again. Instead, he drops his briefcase and slips his hands into his pockets, nodding at me to continue. My next statement hits him like a bullet.

“She was harassed tonight. By a reporter. It happened in the tunnels, after the game. She was waiting there for us. Alone. Because you weren’t there.”

Charred coffee swells to fill the room. He speaks through his teeth, barely moving his lips. “Is she all right?”

I checked her over myself, twice. Even after seeing that the guy didn’t leave so much as trace of his scent on her, I still had to talk my Alpha down in order to leave her upstairs.

“She’s fine,” I mutter, trying to convince myself as much as him. “Damon drew her a bath.”

His glower deepens. “Are you sure you shouldn’t be up there? Is Damon capable of controlling himself?”

The question infuriates me, because anyone who had observed Remi with Damon would find it ludicrous. But he actually seems concerned. Which shows just how out of touch he is.

“Have you even seen her with Damon?” I ask, spewing all of the vitriol I’ve been storing up over the last week. “He’s been taking care of her every damn day. Cuddling with her, watching her shows, listening to audiobooks so he can follow along with whatever she’s reading. He’s a good fucking alpha to her. It’s bullshit that you don’t know that. You should be here, watching and finding a way to be a part of this, too.
