Chapter 148: Words with Silas 

Cassie. 

I hadn’t expected to run into Silas on the way home, but now that I was faced with him, I was actually pleased. I had allowed myself to face a moment of weakness by letting my heart play tricks on my mind. To think the mate thing was actually possible with Lucas was a stupid decision to begin  with. 

Pulling from Silas, I quickly wiped away my tears and pushed a smile on my face. 

“God, I feel completely stupid,” I whispered as I gazed up  into his hazel eyes, “uh–so how are you?” 

Silas gazed down at me, giving a small chuckle as he ‘reached up, rubbing the back of his neck as if hesitant to speak. “I’m okay. I actually was coming to see you, but I can. see that whatever I had to say can wait… what’s going on? Why are you crying?” 

He was coming to see me? The thought was sweet, but I wasn’t sure why he would have been going out of his way to see me. “Uh, nothing. I’m not sad, more angry than anything.” 

“Angry about what?” 

Shrugging my shoulders, I turned and made my way toward a small bench that sat off the edge of the sidewalk. “Men–in more precise measures, Lucas. It’s all stupid and not important, honestly.” 

Silas followed my movements as he came to sit next to me. He didn’t bother to push for more information and instead nudged my shoulder with his own, causing me to smile. 

“Well, the topic of men was the reason why I was coming to see you. I wasn’t sure if your brother had spoken with you yet, but I wanted to explain myself.” 

Confusion filled me as I furrowed my brow, staring at him, trying to figure out what exactly he was talking about. Taking a moment, I thought back to when my brother  confronted me in the hallway at the school, and suddenly what he had said dawned on me.  that was
