Chapter 38
She wasn’t a killer. Not unless he had to be. Even the wolf side of her that followed her instinct closely was not a killer. She and the rogue stared at each other for just a fraction of a second before deep, rumbling growl began in her chest and rose in volume, Asserting herself in her human form was one thing, but with her wolf now fully linked with that human side of her, her dominance took on a whole new level. The growl started small and within seconds it became loud and aggressive and turned into a snarl that had all the power of a full grown alpha behind it and it reverberated off the walls around the two of them.
The look of fear, the fear of her was something Cassidy wasn’t used. No one feared her. Sure Jett had submitted to her a time or two when her temper was pushed too far but he never feared her. The growl her wolf had just used was a demand of respect, a promise of death if the other wolf did not submit. It was a sound only the Alphas of the strongest bloodlines could manage to make and every lower ranking wolf would feel the compulsion to submit. whimper came from the severely injured man and with it came the strong scent of urine as the man had been beaten enough by the guards, her dominance just scared the hell out of him. The wolf that was holding her trembled under her, fighting the fear but with a snap of her teeth he let out a strangled sound that was a mix between a whimper and denial. Like a pup being disciplined by their elder, the man let go of her and looked away.
He submitted to an Alpha that was not his own. He might have hoped for mercy from Cassidy, but she gave none. The second he submitted, she went for his throat and made a kill on him. The man tried to fight her off, but she ripped into his exposed neck and she jumped away to leave the man bleed out quickly. Cassidy ran from him further down the hall, just turning the corner as shots rang out behind her, the bullets just barely missing her back legs and lodging into the wall at the end of the hall she just turned out of before the metallic sound of the gun clattered to the floor,
Cassidy wasn’t stopping now. She ran, passing Blackstone guards that had been killed as well as the rogues that had been killed. There were shouts behind her as men that had been on the lower floor were coming back up and finding the first man dead. The stairs were right at the end of the hallway and she bolted for it, running up to the first floor of the prison as fast as she could. Just as she entered the stair way, she heard the elevator in the second level hall ding as BlackStone warriors filed out into the hallway she just left, the sounds of battle echoing up the stairs.
‘Dont get caught. Dont get caught. Dont get caught…‘ she repeated to herself in her mind as she exited the stairs. She moved swiftly, looking left and right down the hallway and moving on. There were a few bodies in the hallway, but the scent of blood was heavy from the slaughter in the locker rooms where the two shifts of guards were ambushed. The door to the prison was open, just up a short flight of stairs into the darkness outside and the second she caught the scent of the tall pines on the fresh air, Cassidy
bolted.
Running as fast as she could, she took the stairs four at a time and the rush of excitement of finally being free, finally being out of that four white walled cell and silver barred kennel was over whelming her with relief and happiness. Cassidy passed through the door of the prison into the forest and made a run for it. She didn’t know where she was going to go or even what direction she was going, but she needed to get as far away from this place as she possibly could.
Five steps into her freedom, Cassidy’s world was rocked. A force that felt like a freight train came at her from the side out of no where, knocking the wind out of her painfully as her body was launched and flung several feet. Not prepared for it, Cassidy landed on her side, desperately trying to draw a breath as she looked up at a looming pitch black shadow int he night and the angriest dark green eyes she had ever seen.

he didn’t see her fight. he probably thinks the rogues helped her escape thus making him think she was fighting with the roques.
Michele Gremillion
nope the roques will be defeated just because of her abilities.
