The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Just as the woman’s fingers were about to touch Cassian’s neck, a flash of unmistakable disgust flickered in his eyes. He stepped back, swiftly dodging her hand.

Raven’s gaze turned cold as she witnessed the woman’s attempt.

It was one thing to look like her, but to even dare set eyes on her man was crossing the line.

The woman paused, clearly surprised by Cassian’s reaction. But she quickly recovered and put on an even more intrigued smile.

She looked him up and down, her already stunning face wore a smile seductive enough to steal souls.

She said, “I’ll answer your question. But there are too many people here. Why don’t we find somewhere quiet and talk?”

That suggestion couldn’t have been more perfect for Cassian, Raven, and Tony,

Tony nodded and led the three of them into the Legacy Commerce Guild, where they entered a small, soundproof room.

Once inside, the four took their seats. The woman gave Raven a brief glance but said nothing.

Cassian said directly, “Now, tell us who you are.”

The woman didn’t beat around the bush. She jumped straight into a self–introduction.

She said, “My name is Raven. I’m 28. Female. Into men. Currently single, but just now… I think I fell for someone.”

Her stunning eyes locked onto Cassian, and her smile curved like a hook, as if pulling him straight into a trap.

She said sweetly, “Handsome, how about we take things further?”

Tony’s whole body tensed.

He’d prepared himself mentally, but hearing it aloud still made him deeply uncomfortable.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out in Raven’s mind. It was Dominic. “Woman, what’s so great about that cold man? If she wants him, just give him to her! Isn’t having me enough for you?”

Raven smacked Dominic away in her mind.

Before Cassian could respond, she suddenly stood and walked right up to him.

In full view of the woman and Tony, she wrapped her arms around Cassian’s neck, then, with practiced ease, sat sideways on his lap. Her voice came softly and teasing, breath brushing his ear.

She comforted herself by thinking Cassian would surely throw that clueless woman off his lap any second now. She looked at Raven with a growing mix of admiration and pity,

Meanwhile, Tony, who always considered himself unshakable, felt like his understanding of the world had been turned upside down.

Just minutes ago, this woman was all over him, trying to impress him by finding the person on the bounty list.

Then, she looked at another guy and instantly switched gears.

He thought this woman was utterly shameless and overconfident to think every man would fall for her.

But just as both the woman and Tony were bracing for Cassian to fling Raven off like trash. They saw him do the exact opposite and were shocked.

He didn’t push her away. Instead, he raised his hand and wrapped it firmly around Raven’s waist. Then, that godlike face broke into a smile so radiant it could make the heavens tremble.

And next, his voice was drenched in indulgence, rang out like thunder that obliterated every coherent thought in their minds.
