Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Trouble in the market (2)

Cassandra carefully approached the man who shouldn’t be near her or in town. What was he thinking being so out in the open like this and walking so close to her?

"Look at you. You’ve turned yourself into a lady fast."

Cassandra grabbed his hand and pulled him out of sight before someone could see them. He was lucky all attention was on Selene at the moment. "What are you doing, Bryce?"

"I wanted to see that you were in safe hands and by the looks of it you are. Though for a second there you looked like you wanted to kill the woman beside you," said Bryce.

Cassandra couldn’t deny it since Lucinda was a headache. ’That is his mother. You know we can’t talk like this. There are vampires all around."

Bryce looked around the town he was recently getting used to. "I know. That’s why I have something to keep us safe," he showed a small stone. "This little thing was expensive even though it will wear off soon."

Cassandra didn’t trust the magic of witches to protect them. "Get out of sight and don’t follow me. Don’t speak of anything now."

It would be all over for her if anything were to be heard.

"I am not a fool, Cassandra. I only want to ask if it is all going to plan. You have not forgotten why you left, right?"

"I have not," Cassandra replied, annoyed he would speak of this now. "If you have been watching me since I arrived, you would see I am busy preparing for my wedding. That woman walked away sooner than I thought she would."

"She wasn’t to leave, Cassandra. You had a pureblood right there in your hands. You could have-"

"Enough," Cassandra ordered Bryce. "Go before I tell him about what you have done today. If you want to be helpful, do something about that woman. She is getting in my way by constantly being near."

Bryce wondered if he had missed her with someone else since the only woman he saw Cassandra with was Lucinda. "You are not talking about his mother, are you? We don’t harm humans."

"Some need to be harmed for our plans to work. If you cannot do it, I will tell him to send someone else. Now, do not follow me," Cassandra said, hurrying to get away from Bryce.

Cassandra wished it wasn’t someone would create trouble for her. They had much to do in this town so they had to be smart. If one of them could take care of Lucinda then it would be much easier for her to do what she was sent to.

Away from where Cassandra went to hide from Lucinda, Selene kept herself busy by looking for the shoes she would need.

It was easy to not acknowledge the gazes of the people around her but it was a pain for Selene to not hear what was said. Covering her ears wouldn’t work because of her good hearing.

"Should I send them away?" Lucas asked, ready to pull out his weapon.

"No," Selene stopped him. "I’m sure it will get better soon. Are all of Xavier’s followers quick to kill or hurt someone?"

"If it is necessary, yes," Lucas replied. "I have promised that I will protect you and I will do so by any means necessary."
