Cassandraโ€™s POV

Ray and I do not talk after that, but Lydia goes out of her way to bring him up any chance she got. They call for a break, and Lydia starts looking for Ray so we can โ€˜sit with himโ€™. Unfortunately for Lydia he is with Gray when she finally spots him, I watch with glee as the excitement drains from her face.

โ€œNot so confident now, are we?โ€ I smirk beside her.

โ€œDrats,โ€ Lydia says, she turns around to leave but Ray raises his head at that moment and we lock eyes.

โ€œDrats,โ€ I say under my breathe. Ray smiles and waves at us.

โ€œLydia, Cassandra!โ€ I swear for a second, he had a cocky smirk there.

Lydia and I exchange glances and for once we come to a mutual agreement, we both turn around to leave together, but Tessa is behind us with her big smile.

โ€œCome on, letโ€™s go,โ€ she takes our arms and pull us towards the guys, โ€œI had them save a spot for us,โ€ she tells us.

Gray and Ray disappear at some point while Lydia introduces me to the few people she met; they are friendly people but want I really want to do is go back to the tent where I can be left alone. My social skills were never any good before I left the pack.โ€œHiding in a corner again, are we?โ€ I look up to see Gerta, she smiles at me and I give her a small one back, โ€œYou are very talented at avoiding association, do you know that?โ€ she says as she sits down beside me.I merely smile response, โ€œDonโ€™t act humble now, you did it a lot to me at the apartment,โ€ I give her a sheepish smile.โ€œAre you really the owner of that apartment building?โ€ I ask her, but before she can answer I ask again. โ€œWhy did you keep trying if you knew I was avoiding you?โ€Gerta smiles with a shrug, โ€œBecause the first day you arrived at the building, you had this lost look about you like your entire life h

This is humiliating.Groaning, I lie on my back. Xavierโ€™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, โ€œYou hesitate, that is your problem.โ€I sit up and look back up at him, โ€œOkay,โ€ I say passively.โ€œYou donโ€™t seem interested in this at all,โ€ he says again.โ€œWhat gave it away, the fact that you all strong armed me in the tent or was it my very vocal protest last night,โ€ I say sarcastically.There is silence at first then he suddenly drops down beside me, โ€œIf it is worth anything, I donโ€™t think you are a spy or whatever else the Council can imagine in their head,โ€ I turn to him and he shrugs, โ€œYou just didnโ€™t have the look, but they were going to throw you into combat without a second thought or the proper training.

    Cassandraโ€™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 Rayโ€™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.โ€œIf I may,โ€ 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.โ€œLydia going with you two doesnโ€™t sound so bad, what are the odds that they have her scent too,โ€ he tells us.โ€œStop talking Xavier,โ€ Ray growls and Xavier goes quiet but he has a smirk on his face.โ€œYeah, what he said,โ€ Lydia speaks up, โ€œWhatever that means, he has a point.โ€Gray rolls his eyes before turning to Ray, โ€œShe is a wolf, they couldnโ€™t possibly have her scent.โ€Ray has a faraway look, and he g

And it is made of silver.โ€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, โ€œAre you alright?โ€ he asks.I notice the red bruises on his wrist and know his advice to me is probably from experience, โ€œYour wrist,โ€ I say.He sits back with a shrug, โ€œIโ€™d survive, Iโ€™m more worried about you. You took a pretty hard hit to the head.โ€We are in a van, our hands and feet are locked with the same enchanted bind.
