Blackwatch Cassidy Novels & Stories

Cassian's pov I nurse my bottle of scotch leaning my elbows on the railings. The cold air sweeps over my face as my eyes scan the compound. The sky is a canvas of stars, their cold glow barely touching the vast darkness covering the estate. I move my eyes to the swimming pool where a silhouette of a woman swims there in a red bikini. The blue glow from the pool makes her look ethereal — until recognition slaps. It's Maya. What the fuck?

the guy complained, “You’ll get mobbed! For sure!” “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of that stuff,” Johan replied. “I’m Johan, that’s Dorin, Margarette and Lilith, and you?” “I’m 2nd lt. Grayson!” Lilith piped in. “I-I’m Sgt. Matthew Owen...” said the new recruit, “elemental weapons... master class...”

Cassie’s POV I leaned on the balcony, gazing at the stars. The mountain where our pack territory was located provided a stunning view of the night sky, making the stars seem almost unreal. Every night, I wished for safety and peace, hoping our Luna would bless us. The ongoing war between our kind, the humans who knew about us, and the bloodthirsty rogues felt like an unstoppable force. "Hey," Kaiden muttered next to my ear. Deep in thought, I hadn't noticed him approach.

San Francisco glowed beneath the aircraft windows finally. Enough pretending distance was noble, he was going to get his fiancée back. Cassius walked through the terminal dressed in black slacks and a charcoal coat despite the mild weather. Heads turned as he passed. Women stared, men watched cautiously. His phone buzzed once, it was Jin Bunko. Cassius answered while walking toward the exit. “Alpha.” “What is it?” “Everything remains stable in Ravenwood.” Cassius hummed distractedly. Jin hesitated before speaking again. “Are you certain this pursuit is wise?”

Red spread through the river. Eve stood behind me, holding half of a broken beer bottle, her face pale with terror. “Emma, move! They’re coming!” she screamed. I could hear shouts from a distance. People from the village were closing in. My heart raced as I frantically paddled, but the boat still moved painfully slow. The footsteps grew louder, and my heart sank into despair. Were we really not going to make it? Suddenly, Eve stood up. She smiled softly at me, her lips curving with a gentle warmth. “Emma, you have to live—for me and your mom.”

At that time of the day? I stopped walking, and watched her. As I continued staring, I noticed something. Cassidy was almost at the end of the huge and wide compound. How the hell was I able to see that far? No normal human shouldn’t be able to see that far. And even if anyone could, they shouldn't be able to see it clearly, with the way everywhere was also dark. She started walking back to the quarters, and I walked forward a bit before I stopped to wait for her.

The wound underneath is ugly—ragged, half-healed, puckered with the start of infection. She cleans it without comment, hands steady and surprisingly gentle. For a long time, the only sound is the pop and hiss of the fire. Lyla finally breaks the silence. “You’re not like the other healers.” Cassie smiles, not looking up. “You mean because I’m six years younger than you and twice as sexy? And you’re not like the other Blackwoods.” Lyla’s nostrils flare, but she says nothing. When Cassie finishes, she presses Lyla’s hand with a kind of lingering, unspoken respect. “You’ll have full function back by the next moon. Just don’t pick any more fights with alphas twice your weight.”

Elara slammed back into the wall, breaking his grip, then hooked her foot behind his knee and sent him crashing down. Before she could finish it, a black SUV screeched to a halt at the mouth of the alley. Cassidy stepped out. She wasn’t dressed for subtlety—red leather jacket, gold chain at her throat, dark hair pulled back tight. Her eyes locked on Elara with a smile that didn’t reach them. “You’ve been busy,” Cassidy said, her voice like velvet over glass. “I should thank you. I didn’t realize how many rats I had until you scared them out of hiding.”

When I looked to see why Martin sounded so angry I saw that Cassie was bleeding from her side. "Martin, get Dr. Branson," I said. "Take Leonardo with you." I tried to keep Cassie with me. She kept fading out of consciousness. Finally, Martin and Dr. Branson came back. "Martin, take Marco to the base. Silver him and have Dr. Jones give him wolfsbane every hour. We are going to keep him there until Cassie is better." I said without taking my eyes off of my mate.

Cassidy POV "How much does she know?" I asked, pointing at Lisa and ignoring her mother entirely. Kieran nodded. "Can we all just sit?" Lisa and Susan moved toward the sofa near the fireplace, keeping as much distance as possible between us. "We've reached the point where partial explanations are no longer useful," Kieran said, his eyes staying on Lisa until she finally looked back at him. She had handed him her trust already. That much was obvious. "This is Cassidy," Kieran told her, his hand reaching toward my side of the room. "The woman I told you about. The one connected to the people who helped me survive Meridian conditioning years ago.”
