Rouges and Rebound Chapter 25
Cassandra’s POVRay arrives at our tent the next morning, Lydia is waiting to rip him apart the minute he arrives.“You asshole!” I hear her scream at him from my position inside the tent.“Hello, Lydia,” he replies calmly.I step out of the tent and he turns to me, “Here to take me to the slaughter house?”Lydia places herself between me and Ray, “I’m going with her, I want to enlist too,” she folds her arms.“This has got to be the most ridiculous show of bravery I have ever seen,” we both turn to see Gray heading in our direction, he has his usual scowl on his face except this time it has a hint of distaste.Lydia immediately changes course, “Right, I forgot about the devil.”Gray cocks his head before turning to Ray, “This is the childish bullshit we have to deal with now?”“Call it what you want asshole, I am still going to join your stupid fight squad,” she tells him, meeting his glare with one of her own.“You can’t join, Lydia. Your wolf is still volatile, you should be busy l

Cassandra’s POV“Again!” Xavier yells and the man charges at me, giving barely enough time to raise my arms for cover. He pushes me and I find myself flying across the field on my butt. This is humiliating.Groaning, I lie on my back. Xavier’s body blocks my view of the sun, I can just tell he has a frown on his face. At least his creepy smile is gone, “You hesitate, that is your problem.”I sit up and look back up at him, “Okay,” I say passively.“You don’t seem interested in this at all,” he says again.“What gave it away, the fact that you all strong armed me in the tent or was it my very vocal protest last night,” I say sarcastically.There is silence at first then he suddenly drops down beside me, “If it is worth anything, I don’t think you are a spy or whatever else the Council can imagine in their head,” I turn to him and he shrugs, “You just didn’t have the look, but they were going to throw you into combat without a second thought or the proper training. I just brought you so

Cassandra’s POVLydia and Gray glare at each other, both having no intention of backing down. Truthfully, when Lydia had announced she would be coming with me after I told her about Ray’s instructions to me, I had given her a dubious look. These two do not seem like the type to let anyone force them into something they never agreed to.“If I may,” Xavier speaks up and all heads turn to him. He had arrived at my tent to take me to Ray, I had felt like a primed sheep on its way to the slaughter especially since Tessa arrived with some clothes for me to change into a few minutes earlier.“Lydia going with you two doesn’t sound so bad, what are the odds that they have her scent too,” he tells us.“Stop talking Xavier,” Ray growls and Xavier goes quiet but he has a smirk on his face.“Yeah, what he said,” Lydia speaks up, “Whatever that means, he has a point.”Gray rolls his eyes before turning to Ray, “She is a wolf, they couldn’t possibly have her scent.”Ray has a faraway look, and he g

Cassandra’s POVThe club is packed, the perfect place to lose our current tail as Ray explained to Lydia and I. the bouncer at the door starts out difficult but lets us in when Gray flashes him some cash.“So, we are going to split up now,” Ray yells over the loud music, we all turn to him with incredulous looks, we were not told this part of the plan.“Gray go with Lydia, Cassandra and I will go the other way,” Ray tells us.“Really,” Gray says, raising a brow at him. He is about to say something then stops, think better of it and suddenly drags Lydia into the crowd with him. I move to go after them but Ray pulls me back with a shake of his head.“How do we contact them, anything could happen in here,” I tell Ray and he shrugs.He waves a burner phone in front of me, “I always have a contingency plan, come on before the guy sights us,” he pulls me with him into the crowd, shouldering through the dancing people so I do not have to deal with bumping into sweaty humans.Ray takes us to

Lydia’s POV“How do you know they are Hunters?” I whisper back to Gray, he gives me an obvious look.“I’ve fought enough of those scum bags to be able to pick them out in a crowd,” he tells me, “And I recognize one of them from the day we rescued you and Cassandra.”I grab his hand in panic, “He could recognize you.”“I know,” he growls, his head and gaze focused on the table, “They are probably looking for Ray and Cassandra, I should warn them,” he brings out a small phone just as a hand clamp down on his shoulder.My spine goes tense and the hairs on the back of my neck stands on end as the huge man smiles at us, “Hello,” he says in an oddly soft voice, “Mind if I join you?”Gray growls but the man forces him back into his seat with his hand still on Gray’s shoulder, “You gave my men quite the run for their money, Grayson. If you weren’t a dirty rogue, I would have recruited you.”Gray scowls at him, “Lucas, you found me. what other luck you got going for you,” he spits at the man.
Rouges and Rebound Chapter 30
Lydia’s POVBen scowls at Gray, “Did you have to introduce me like that?”Gray makes a face, “How would you rather I do it?”Ben shrugs, “You could have introduced me as a friend or something, or a pal. Now she is going to be careful and extra nice around me, looking for my approval and shit.”“What are you going on about?” Gray asks him.Ben gestures at me, “She is your girlfriend, right?”Gray laughs loudly, “Lydia is a lot of things to me, girlfriend is definitely not one of them.”I have been staring between the two men during their conversation, at Gray’s words I scowl at him, “What is that supposed to mean?” I ask placing my hands on my waist.Gray gives me look before turning to Ben, “Great, now you’ve got her all riled up.”“Stop talking about me like I am not in the room,” I snap at him and he replies by reclining into the couch even more.“You going to sit down or keep making me uncomfortable,” Ben asks me and I suddenly remember myself. I take the couch farthest from Gray,
Rouges and Rebound Chapter 31
Cassandra’s POVThey attacked us from behind, I felt searing pain at the bac of my head before I passed out. When I come to, I see nothing but darkness. I try to move around and I rewarded by searing pain in my wrist.“Don’t move,” I hear Ray’s voice, “They have enchanted binds on us, the more your struggle the tighter it gets. And it is made of silver.”There is the sound of shuffling and something is pulled off my eyes, light hits me and my gaze focuses on Ray who is staring at me with worry, “Are you alright?” he asks.I notice the red bruises on his wrist and know his advice to me is probably from experience, “Your wrist,” I say.He sits back with a shrug, “I’d survive, I’m more worried about you. You took a pretty hard hit to the head.”We are in a van, our hands and feet are locked with the same enchanted bind. The van is too small for the both of us and Ray’s legs stretch out to me, “What are they going to with us? What about Gray and Lydia?” I ask in panic.“Easy,” Ray tries t
Rouges and Rebound Chapter 32
Cassandra’s POV“Don’t do it,” I whisper standing beside Lydia.She turns to me with a fake look of surprise, “Do what?”I raise a brow at her, “It is his story, Lydia and you are not going to push him to tell it.”She groans, “Come on, you are just as curious as I am. The man used to work for the same people who are hunting us down like literal dogs.”“That man also has super human hearing, and you are both not making any attempt to be quiet,” Gray snaps and we both turn to him, our eyes wide at being caught.Lydia coughs loudly to allay the sudden tension and walks towards the men. We are still in the ware house, Ray, Harold, and Gray are trying to find the safest route out of the city because Lucas would have everywhere blocked and under heavy surveillance.“So, what’s the plan?” she asks them.Harold smirks at Lydia, “I like her, how did you guys meet again?” he turns to Gray.“Not you concern,” Gray snaps at him. The man is always snapping at someone.Harold smirks at him in repl
