~CASSELBA'S POV
MY EYES OPEN FIRST TO DARKNESS. A mild aura that fogs up my vision due to the crashing impact of my body as it hit the van when it somersaulted. The next sight however is much more amicable.
Once my vision clears, I come to find out I'm still on the rough floor of the van but this time my head rests in someone's arms. A mild pain follows as I widen my eyes to peer at the figure cradling my head. A small smile forms when I meet liquid hazel eyes.
...Two pairs of them. Caden and Ryan.
Caden is the one with his hands in my hair. He is clothed in dark camouflage and black boots, obviously on the way to come rescue me. In that moment, I'm so glad I stopped Terrance before he could reach his destination to deliver me off to the Apex. I couldn't even begin to imagine what that kind of secretive international organization would do to a 'perceived' human mate.
It was considered an abomination among the Ferals, how much more the Apex.
