He should leave now and send some younger packmate back to make sure that Cassie left.
Putting on his clothes, he tossed out the ruined t-shirt and searched for something one of his people might have left behind. He found a 90s-band t-shirt and, scowling at the rock star whose tongue was hanging out in the printed image, he put it on. He laid out some clothes for Cassie as well. He wasn’t that much of a bastard.
Before he left, he gave another look at the sleeping woman and then left the apartment.

Cassie waited until he left before opening her eyes. She had awoken the minute she had heard him moving about.
Always on the run with her mother, she had become a light sleeper, her senses always attuned to her surroundings. She threw the back of her hand on her eyes, shuddering. What had she done?
She felt the mating bond inside her quiver, and she surrounded it by her will of steel. No. The shifter could not realize what had happened.
How could she not have noticed? Now that the bond was in place, she could tell from his strength and power that he was an alpha. She couldn’t mate with an alpha. Her eyes darkened as she clenched the sheets to her chest. Her mother had suffered enough. She knew firsthand what alphas did to their kind.
She knew he wouldn’t be back anytime soon, but she couldn’t risk his coming back. She saw the clothes on the chair and was about to grab them, but hesitated. Glancing outside, she determined that it was dark enough for no one to be up at this hour. Opening the window, she glanced down.
She’d jumped from worse heights.
Her landing was smooth and in the shelter of the dark alley. She shifted into a large bear and ran into the streets, her clothes in her mouth.
