There'd been some chatter amongst the guards about Ruby's presence; most of them were Alphas and not all of them had enough sense to keep their comments to themselves. Cassian took a small bit of pride getting them to shut up about it with a word. He'd worked for the Williams' for years and he recognized what was happening here with their daughter. They put up the perfect front and she just...survived them.

It was kind of sad.

It was also ten thousand percent none of his business, really.

He hadn't meant to interrupt whatever was happening between Ruby Williams and the alpha, but the latter was giving off a dangerous scent for an alpha who had an omega cornered (even at a party). He glanced around, noticing one of the other guards who was too busy chatting up a waitress to notice the precarious situation Ruby might be in.

Then again he didn't want to read too much into something that might be nothing, so he just sort of...hovered, in Ruby's field of vision, trying to make eye contact and see if she needed his help in any way.
