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,

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

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

Cassandra’s POVI spot him coming from a distance and quickly duck my head; it would not benefit me if I am caught especially when his face has ‘bloody murder’ written all over it. I quietly move through the crowd of graduation gowns making sure to keep my cap on so he doesn’t recognize me from the back of my head.“Cassandra Collins!” he suddenly bellows and half the hall turns to look at him, I also turn and almost choke from laughter. He might look very pissed, but you have to give me props for originality. Parker is standing in his suit, a glare in his eyes which are trained at me, and bright red hair. I quickly put my hand over my mouth to hide my laugh, he looks just like I imagined. The red hair gives his anger the perfect flare it needs.“Don’t you dare laugh!” Parker yells and comes charging at me. That’s my cue to get out of here. I immediately turn around and start running through the unhelpful crowd of students. You would think that given the situation they would make a pa

Cassandra’s POVThere is a screeching sound and I turn to the stage just as the principal starts speaking, “Welcome graduating class of 2023 and well-wishers. We are delighted to see such cheerful faces and graduation gowns, congratulations on making it this far,” the hall erupts in applause and she smiles, “Without further ado, I will like to introduce our guest speaker, Aidan, he will be standing in for our Alpha.”We start clapping again and I look around so I can get a glimpse of Aidan as he walks towards the stage. He is the Alpha’s son and the most sort after bachelor in the pack, even I was not immune to his charm. I have always had a bit of a crush on him though I doubt he would ever notice me. Someone as handsome, talented, and highly placed as him could never know about a nobody like me. Parker thinks my crush on him is deranged.I catch sight of him as he passes the row where I am seated and I breathe in his heavenly scent of pine wood and musk, for some reason today it is

Cassandra’s POVGrandmother suddenly leans forward, “Does this new-found happiness have anything to do with Parker?” she gives me a mischievous smile and I make a face, “Oh don’t make that face, it’s about time you both got together.”“He is not even my mate,” I tell her.“How would you know, you are not the moon goddess,” she fires back.I open my mouth to reply and stop, no point replying that.After dinner I head to my room where I can watch the street for Aidan from my window without grandmother intruding. Why isn’t he here yet? It’s getting dark, should I be worried?My phone dings and I pick it up to see a message from Parker, it’s a video file with the caption ‘One day as his mate and you are going to parties together’ he ends with a winking emoji. I open the video file to see it is a short clip of Aidan chugging down alcohol, there is a brunette on his arm with her back towards the camera. I don’t like how close they seem.I immediately send Parker a text stating that it is no

Cassandra’s POVI am fortunately spared from their questions; they would pick up immediately that something was wrong and bug me about it till I tell them. I can imagine how heartbroken they would look when I tell them what happened.I stop at the door and turn to Parker, “Thank you, you should go home now I don’t want your parents getting worried.”Parker replies by closing the door behind him, “I already sent my dad a text that I am staying the night,” I look at him in surprise and he shrugs, “You need me, I can’t leave you alone by yourself tonight.”The sincerity on his face forces the first tear out and before I know it I am a crying mess, “Thank you,” I say between sobs and Parker tries to get me to calm down but it’s like a dam broke as the pain washes over me in waves. Parker immediately leads me to my room so I don’t wake up my grandparents.“I…I…can’t believe he said that,” I sob and Parker wraps his arms around me, we just stand in the middle of my room as I cry and curse A

When I wake up Parker is gone, I sit up and rub my tired eyes. I am not motivated to do anything today and I sigh knowing I am going to have to tell my grandparents the bad news, grandma would be so broken she had always enjoyed talking about how many great grandkids she expected from me once I found my mate.Forcing myself out of bed I head downstairs, I am at the final step when there is a knock on the door, “Cassandra honey if that is you get the door,” my grandma calls from the kitchen and I trudge to the door. I open it to see two serious looking men bearing down on me.“Can I help you?” I say suddenly feeling intimidated under their glares.“Cassandra Collins?” one of the men asks and I nod, “Your presence is needed in relation to your mate, Aidan,” he tells me and I hear a gasp behind me.I turn to see my grandmother behind me her eyes as wide as saucers, “You are mated to the Alpha’s son?” she asks with glee, “Oh this is wonderful news,” she gushes but no one shares her sentim

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.

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

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 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 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.

Cassandra’s POV“Did you lose yur mate too?” I ask Trent.He looks away, but when he turns back to me he has his smile back on his face, “That is for me to know, and you to not judge,” he walks off before I can say anything else. I try to follow him but few steps in and I cannot find him anywhere.I groan in frustration, everyone seems to be trying to push me in this confusing direction I would rather not go, “What the hell!” I yell in frustration. I look around me, I should find my way back to my tent and get some rest.At that moment I spot Ray from afar, he has a heavy frown on his face as he walks into a tent. I hurry in his direction. Maybe, he will be able to help me find my way back to my tent. He is not the ideal option but he will make do.When I get closer, I pick up harsh whispers, I suddenly stop when I recognize the tent. It is where the Council had their meeting last time. Are they having one right now?I creep closer, so I can hear better what they are saying.“What do
