And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 281

"How do you know this?" I snapped at them, not caring Ashley was one of the people I was taking my anger out on.

"Seth saw Cassie talking to Lucas at the Hill party and told his sister Lauren, who you know is like my best friend—"

"Damn it, Ashley, get to the point already."

Flinching at my tone, she quickly stumbled through her response. "Seth saw Cassie and Lucas disappear into the woods together, and when Cassie came out later, she was alone and fixing her clothing."

The stammered words spoken from Ashley set my blood on fire.

How could my sister act like this knowing what kind of people we were, and who he was?

Turning, I headed straight for Cassie's locker. If she thought she was going to act like a slut, she was sadly mistaken because my sister wasn't going to whore herself out to the pack reject.

The moment I turned the corner and locked eyes on Cassie, who stood with her friend Melissa, I gritted my teeth, seething with anger. "Cassie!"

She spun around to face me, and as she did, her eyes widened. "Why do you look like someone pissed in your coffee this morning?"

"Are you fucking Lucas Vega?"

The question came out quickly as I all but yelled at her, causing her to choke on the coffee she was sipping. "What?!"

"You heard me, Cassie. Word has it you were seen fucking him at the last party."

The conversation was definitely meant for behind closed doors, and from the red tinge of her cheeks, I could see embarrassment growing inside her. Classmates of ours began to linger around, whispering to each other as they stared at us, but I didn't care.

That was supposed to have been reserved for me.

"Pollux, you know exactly what happened the last time you tried me like this. So you can either get the fuck off of me and walk away, or you and I are going to have bigger problems than what your girlfriend said."

"You need to watch your tone, Castor. You will respect me, as I deserve to be respected." I hoped she would have bowed down like I had expected any other person to do, but instead, Cassie began to laugh in a maniacal way, making me hesitate.

Before the commotion could continue any further, a voice called out, stopping us in our tracks. Our father, James, had exited a classroom somewhere nearby and was seen storming through the hallway straight for us.

Both mine and Cassie's eyes darted in the direction of where he was, and with his narrowed gaze and clenched fist, I knew we were in trouble.

"What is going on?" he demanded as Cassie quickly turned off the angry scowl she wore and put on the biggest puppy dog pout.
