Dawn knew she did Cassie was an ano the Breeds Her DNA was Wolf and Coyote as well as hurew older and her eyes deepened to that hypnotic blue Centuries before she would have been burned at the stake as a witch

Dawn cared for the girl though She had been a regular visitor at Sanctuary over the years, first as a precocious child and now often as a prankster and teasing teenager

“This is a bad ti that sometimes Cassie needed explanations, despite the spooky air of knowledge she carried with her

“That’s why I caiven her the invitation to stay, and that shter “I kneould be bad And the drearouchy Today, you have to look forward to the adventure, Dawn So I ca over what you don’t remember”

Daed tightly and couldn’t control the flinch at the res she didn’t remember

“Cassie…”

“Dawn You helped save me when I was little You and Sherra put your lives on the line for me You were hurt then just as you’ve been hurt over the years defending Sanctuary Let me do this”

“Do what?” Dawn shook her head in confusion “What can you do for me, Cassie? Can you wipe the dreae it? How in the hell do you think you can o away and let et control of myself”

“Like everyone else does?” Cassie sighed “Everyone goes away so you can think, so you can work, so you can sleep and so you can dream alone Even Seth went away, didn’t he?”

Dawn stilled She felt so, freeze She didn’t want to hear about Seth, she didn’t want to think about Seth He was better off away from Sanctuary and away from her

“What does Seth have to do with anything?”

Seth Lawrence of Lawrence Industries, one of the Breeds’ greatest proponents and supporters, and he was one man she couldn’t afford to think about

“He was here the other day, arguing with Jonas Did you hear?” Cassie tilted her head to the side “He doesn’t like Jonas much, you know”

“No one likes Jonas much” Dawn inhaled slowly, the irrational terror slowly easing inside her

“Everyone likes Seth though” Cassie waggled her brows as she uncurled from the chair and moved to the bed
