With a sigh of relief, I washed away the things that had been bothering me and listened to the pelting of water against the tile flooring.
"Dude, what's up with you and the new girl," a voice called out, catching my attention. I wasn't sure who they were talking about, but I suspected it was my sister.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Silas' voice registered in my ears, and the moment I heard him chuckle, I knew full well they were talking about Cassie. My blood boiled at the realization as I stayed quiet, listening to what was being said.
"I know something is up. Would have thought for sure you would have got some of that ass the other night—"
"Hey, don't talk about her like that," Silas growled in response to the other guy's words, "she ain't that kind of girl."
"Whatever," the kid replied. "She ended up hooking up with that Lucas guy right after you left her."
She hooked up with Lucas?!
I knew the guy was her mate and expected eventually for them to be together, but for my sister to entertain Silas and then sleep with Lucas was completely fucked up. I had thought my sister was more reserved than that, but perhaps I was wrong.
Turning off the water, I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me as I exited the shower. Both Silas and the dumbass he was talking to stared at me with wide eyes as I narrowed my own in their direction. "Got something else to fucking say?"
"It's-it's not what you think," Silas replied, stuttering over his words.
Not wanting to hear any more of what Silas had to say, I growled at him, my nails sharpening as fangs protruded. "Stay the fuck away from my sister."
