And Then There Were Four

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."

The warning was clear, and deciding to handle this with her myself, I didn't bother to hear what Silas had to say. Instead, I strode to my locker, threw on my clothes, and decided to hunt. The only problem was this hunt wasn't like the others, instead, I was hunting my twin. I was hunting Cassie.

Thirty minutes later and after much searching, her scent grew stronger the moment I turned into the main foyer of the school. The large vaulted ceilings overhead made it look like a cathedral, and as my eyes scanned the surrounding area, they fell upon Cassie, who stood with two girls laughing.

One of the girls ended up being the

electric blue-haired beauty I remembered seeing at the dinner Odin had thrown for us. Even now, staring at her, I found myself frozen in my steps, not wanting to

same time, my anger over what Cassie was doing grew stronger and

approach Cassie. But to

stronger with every passing second.

Pushing aside my doubts about the entire situation, I narrowed my gaze on Cassie and stormed forward with my fist clenched at my sides. Cassie had crossed the line more times than could even count, and where she thought there was no big issue, she didn't realize the repercussions of what she did.

"Cassie!" I yelled from across the hall, catching her attention and the girls she was with and anybody else nearby. "You and I need to talk."

Her eyes widened in surprise a little bit as if she didn't have a single clue as to why I was in such a rut, but she quickly narrowed them in my direction as she realized I was obviously coming to her with an issue.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"I don't know what your problem is but if you're going to sit here and run your mouth at me, you need to do so somewhere else because I don't have the time for it."

The sarcastic and snippy way she

responded to me ticked me off even

more and as I stepped in front of her, snarling down at my sister's, whose eyes glanced up at me with a blue hue I was all too familiar with, I didn't know whether I wanted to slap her for her insubordination or punish her in other ways.

"You're going to listen to what I have to say," I snapped at her. "After the conversation I just heard some of the guys having in the locker room about you, it makes me wonder what kind of person you've become since you came here."
