ASHER

Much to my surprise, Silas didn’t protest this time. He obediently nodded his head and after a long, lingering glance, the Beta retreated immediately. I’d expected resistance, but then again, Silas likely didn’t know how to deal with this situation. He was incredibly intelligent, but when it came to emotional hardships, he wasn’t well-equipped.

Once he was gone. I gave Kane a cold glance and then a scoff.

“What do you have to say to me?” I wondered and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

If only Cassandra could see me now, I lamented bitterly, and I tried to summon the image of her lovely face in my mind.
