watchful attention of her brother.
    “Shall we get started?” Alex asked with amusement.
    She shrugged.
    Alex, Chase and Max started going over the plan to beef up security on the property. Since she wasn’t hearing anything that she objected to, she just listened. Listened and watched.
    Max reclined back with the bottle held loosely between his fingers. He was a big guy but appeared comfortable. He had a certain amount of power surrounding him. The wolf inside her recognized it and wanted to present herself for him. The only other person she’d ever felt that kind of radiating dominance from was her Alpha.
    The inner strength that she was picking up on could very well be why she was so attracted to him. Constantly surrounded by such domineering men, she had found herself more and more comfortable around the type. Although her reaction to Max was very unique from anyone else she’d ever met.
    Across from her, she studied her brother as his voice rose and fell in a calming manner. Alex was leaning forward, speaking directly to Max about the alarm system. She’d grown up in a loving home. Every day she had known she was loved and her parents had doted on each of their children. Alex had become her parent after their real parents’ deaths in a car accident on an icy road. He’d just graduated from college and had returned to care for her and their younger brother Jacob.
    While he had a business degree and did in fact make a lot of money at the gallery, she knew that it was the ranch, the horses that Alex truly loved.
    The money that the family had, that Alex had made, always went to the animals first. Alex put everything he had, every free minute into the horses. Back when he’d first returned, Alex had been involved with a woman in college. Cassie had met her once. Right after the funeral of their parents.
    She didn’t know what had happened between Alex and the woman, but she’d never seen her again and Alex refused to talk about it.
    Instead, Alex spent his time trying to get her to settle down like Jacob. So far Cassie had managed to turn the tables on him about settling down, but now she wasn’t sure she would be able to anymore.
    Chase picked up where Alex trailed off, getting into the security cameras and how more should be added.
    At the moment, they only had cameras outside the house and stables. Chase wanted some installed in the interior of the buildings too.
    “I don’t want cameras in my studio,” Cassie spoke up.
    The three men turned to her.
    “The studio was the target,” Chase responded. “It makes the most sense to cover that area.”
    Cassie shook her head. “No, I can’t work knowing someone is watching me.”
    “They will only be there for your protection. It’s not like we’ll be watching them all the time,” Alex assured her.
    There was no way she could handle even that. “No, please.”
    Alex opened his mouth, but beside her, Max held up his hand. “Let’s wait. We can go ahead and order some more cameras. If Cassie doesn’t want them inside maybe we’ll place them over the entry doors. We can work it out so everyone is comfortable.”
    Relief washed over her. She was glad that Max seemed to understand. She nodded in acceptance.
    “Let me look though the houses and I’ll make a map of where I think the new cameras should go. I assume we’ll do both the main house and Cassie’s?”
    “Jacob’s too,” Alex added. “I want them covered.”
    Max inclined his head. “I agree.”
    Chase stood. “It seems like you all have everything under control. I need to stop back by the Alpha’s place and make sure the new shifts in town have been sorted out. I’ll update him on the situation here.”
    Alex and Max both rose with him.
    “I expect you’ll hear from the Alpha soon anyway. He’ll want to check on things himself.”
    “I’ll walk you out,” Alex offered.
    “If you’re ready to take me over, I’d like to see the studio.” Max turned to her.
    Cassie placed her
