Blackwatch Cassidy Novels & Stories

Cassie took a step forward, lifting her chin slightly as her presence seemed to command the entire space. “The project the people of Sta. Cristina have long dreamed of…” she said, her tone softening just enough to carry the weight of that dream, “will finally be realized.” Her eyes sharpened again as they locked onto the two men before her. “But not through the hands of those who sought to exploit it,” she added coldly. A beat of silence passed—tense, expectant. Then, with quiet power, she declared, “I am Cassidy Greene, Chairman of the Malakai Group of Companies. And I will personally oversee this project.”

we turned to see the two men leaving the clearing. Clint starts to rewind the feed, "they were talking about us, about Paige." he stops the recording and presses play. The unknown asshole waits until Blackthorne is dressed. "The order has sent a team they do not mind losing. The Huntress is an embarrassment that I am sure they would like us to rid them of, and the rest of the team are from the lower end of the gene pool, all bred to be workers, but by some twist of fate. They managed to pass training, the whole team could be wiped out with no repercussions from the order."

But I was here on a mission, and I was not going to leave until I had accomplished it. “Sir,” The voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I looked to see that it was Zane. “I tried to get Cassie to talk, but she does not trust us,” He explained as he made his way over to me. Now standing not far, he stopped. “But I did some digging myself. And you have no idea what I found out.” He had my full attention now. He took a sip of my drink and nodded. “What are you waiting for? Tell me.”

“So you think the Guardians that are still in there are in danger from them, too, or just the demons?” “All of ‘em. They’ll gitcha same as the others if you ain’t careful.” She must’ve seen my face melt so she added. “Don’t you worry about them fellas, though. Jaime’s a crack shot with the blue lights. That’s the craziest thing I ever did see. And I seen a lot a craziness. I’m Heather, by the way.” I realized I’d been rude not to have introduced myself and thank her already. I stood and walked over to her, offering her my hand. She got up and peered into my eyes as she shook it. “Cassidy. Nice to meet you. Finally.”

I wish I could understand this nonsense, but my mind is swimming through random ideas of trying to figure out how to escape and get as far away from Cassian as possible. I need Maddox. Why can’t I connect to Maddox? I glance over at Raven, I’m confident that she’s somehow blocking me. She snaps, “You need to make a decision, Cassian.” He breathes out and lowers his eyes so that they meet mine and he says, “I promise, things will be better next time.” My eyes widen, I don’t have time to respond back to him before I hear a gunshot and everything went black. I’m descended into the deepest black again. I feel like I’ve been here forever. I’ve been here for so long that I don’t know when time beg

“I think you’re going to shake things up in ways this pack desperately needs.” I did not respond. Did not trust myself to parse genuine sentiment from practiced charm. The hallway outside was blessedly empty. I leaned against the wall, taking a breath. My first day. I had walked in on the Alpha Heir having sex, slapped him across the face, and somehow still had a job. A job investigating threats against one of the most powerful packs in the territory. Working directly with Lucian Blackwood. The man who had propositioned me minutes after climaxing. Who had tested me. Who claimed to like my honesty while radiating enough charm to melt steel.

My lungs burned like open flames, and the metallic taste of pure blood filled the back of my throat. Faster, Ivy! Vanya urged, her voice frantic, echoing inside the cavernous silence of my mind. They are right behind us! I can smell the damp fur! I can smell the iron on their armor! I didn't turn around. I didn't dare to look back. The rhythmic, heavy thud of massive paws echoed through the narrow alleyway behind me, cutting through the splash of my own frantic footsteps. Cassian’s tracking hounds. They hadn't just tracked me to the bakery; they were closing the net.

I hurriedly wiped the tears off my my face, sniffling. “You don't have to clean your tears, child.” Cassidy entered, her steps slow and careful. She looked exhausted. Her skin was pale, dark circles adorning her wrinkled eyes. Her hair was dampened with sweat, yet she stood tall. I swallowed hard. “What are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice almost unrecognizable. “Why are you roaming free in our pack? After everything you did? After Alexa?”

A gasp escaped my lips as I witnessed her transformation, my heart caught between disbelief and awe. Cassidy's features shimmered with an otherworldly radiance, her eyes glowing with an inner fire. In that instant, she became something more than human. No, inhuman: a being touched by forces far beyond my own understanding. I could feel the weight of destiny settling upon us, binding us together in a shared purpose. Elliot had unlocked a power that lay dormant within him, and Cassidy had become a vessel for something extraordinary.

Somehow it seemed to trigger something in Cassidy as she began to scream almost like she was remembering something. Jill wasted no time throwing the blaster to Dylan who would instantly shoot Cassidy without hesitation. A bright green light shot from the blaster and hit Cassidy right where the glitch bug had first bitten her. She collapsed to the ground in agony and the trap that was the void began to melt away. The blaster itself also vanished. As Christopher had warned, this was a one time shot.
