Chapter 226: Clues (4)
"If this is true, why haven’t they told us? I would have been understanding and not been upset that they lied to me. How could they think it is right to tell us we have holy water to protect ourselves only for it to be normal water?" Cassandra asked.
Holy water was their last resort to save themselves if they were in a tricky situation so anyone who went to use that water on a vampire would surely die.
"They wanted to avoid panic which all of you would do. You’ll be safe as long as you continue to be the woman Gabriel wants you to be and he still is useful. I can lead him off course from the others. Go home," Bryce advised Cassandra.
"Why are they lying to us so much? If the water is gone, shouldn’t they move faster to end our plans? I have seen them walking around with holy water so I believe they have kept it for themselves. Something doesn’t feel right," Cassandra said, not liking the church’s actions anymore.
"Cassandra, I suggest you don’t lose faith in the same people who saved your life. It is thanks to them that you are getting revenge on the ones who took your parents from you. You have much to thank them for," Bryce reminded Cassandra.
"I know they saved me but it is starting to feel like they saved me only to use me. I can’t go on like this. Gabriel doubts me because of a lie I told. I messed up lying on Selene’s maid but she deserved it. She didn’t respect me," Cassandra said, getting angry just thinking about it.
Bryce didn’t care what the maid did. "You went to his home as a mistress. Why would anyone respect you? You enjoyed being the reason they laughed at a pureblood. You forgot for a moment what you were sent there to do so deal with the consequences."
Bryce had so much more he wanted to send to the others. Cassandra was exactly the wild card he thought she was which would ruin their plans.
"You had a pureblood right there in your hands that you could have killed and we would pass the blame onto her angry husband. You ruined that for us-"
