A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Silas's face darkened instantly. He looked downright annoyed.

Monty shot Zelda a glare. "What on earth are you talking about, Zelda? That's not your place to say! This is Callie's home. It's Silas's home, too. They're free to stay wherever they want, pick any room they like. Every room is theirs for the choosing."

He wouldn't dare cross Calliope now, not to mention Silas. Either one of them could make his life hell.

Silas ignored Monty, his eyes cool as he glanced at Horatio and the others.

Valerian, meanwhile, was in a fantastic mood. Calliope had promised to give him the car he'd been daydreaming about but could never afford. Now even Silas seemed like the best brother-in-law in the world.
