Chapter 22

Kage was waiting for me in the doorway. Then I knew why Isaac had withheld. He’d been able to see our audience. Kage had pulled off his shirt and boots, then apparently grown distracted that I hadn’t followed and he’d returned to look for me. His ears were good enough to hear all we’d been saying, though at least Jason was badgering him.

“Kage, please change. If you do and that doesn’t mend you’ll have to see Joanna or Bethany. It’s serious.”

“What are you doing?” I asked as I walked up with him glaring at me.

“Getting my feelings hurt.” Cold, a growl. His skin was beaded in sweat, a fever already burning from that bite.

“Kage…” I sighed. “What do you want? Would it not hurt your feelings if—?”

“You think we’re a bunch of yearlings, don’t you? Even though you’re what? Probably my age.”

“Maturity isn’t necessarily about years—”

“And you think it’s mature to treat everyone else like pups?”

I stopped on the threshold, stung. “I’m sorry, Kage. I didn’t mean to do any such—”

“Not enough that you run with every male you see to test the pack? Got to toss in insults?”

“Will you please change?” Jason hung onto his good arm, trying to get him to move. “Cassia hasn’t been insulting anyone.”

“Don’t leave that wound,” I said, my own face burning, not sure where this was coming from.

“That’s what it is you like about him? Older and a cold fish? Feelings of steel? While you ‘appreciate me telling you how I feel’ you’re really just having a laugh, aren’t you?”

“My relationships are not your business,” I spoke quietly, yet my voice, and self, shook as his words came at me like knives. “But no, I don’t actually find Isaac cold at all. You just have to get to know him because he doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve either. And I never—”

“So it’s aloof that’s what you’re into? Don’t know why I ever tried talking to you. You want what? A male to act like he doesn’t care right up until sex? Then is he all demonstrative—?”

“Kage, that’s enough.” To my added surprise, Jason spoke sharply. “Leave her alone. She’s not accountable to you and she didn’t do anything wrong. She can run with whoever she likes without your permission—or anyone else’s.” He pried Kage away from the door. “Change and take care of your arm before there’s nothing you can do about it.”

He pushed Kage to the bedroom, but didn’t stay, shutting him in there and hurrying back to me.

“Cassia—”

“Don’t apologize for him.” I stood stiffly in the doorway, night bugs flitting past for the light in the kitchen, heart pounding as if Kage had been threatening me.

Fine. I swallowed, blinking fast. This was a weird, crazy setup in the first place. I couldn’t say how I’d ended up able to justify it in my mind to feel like this was a nice place to be and think over my life, whereas sleeping with Isaac would obviously be way too emotional and was something to step back from.
