Chapter 3: Chapter 27

Cassandra's POV

Lydia 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."
