"Great." Cassian gives Ruby a nod and a smile, trying to reign himself in from taking a deep breath of her scent. Since she's no longer as distressed, it's taken on softer, sweeter tones mixed with the pressing heat and Cassian is glad that she's going home, where she'll be safe from Daryl and any other alpha with bad intentions.

The car is waiting for them when they reach the front door but so is the alpha, reeking of fury and barely contained by three of the guards on shift. Cassian sees his replacement gesturing for them to get in the car as fast as possible and Cassian knows if he stays behind, it's gonna be a fight. "Mind if I join you just as far as your apartment? I'll take another car from there."
