The Sins of Silas (The Otacian Chronicles, #2)

by Kylie Snow

“Why are you doing this, Lena? To hurt me?” “Hurt you?” I let out a dry laugh. “I have sex with someone, and you make it about you? You’re allowed to move on and be happy, and I can’t? That’s an attack on you?” His eyes darkened with fury, his fists shaking at his sides. “So, you admit it, then,” he said in a voice that was all too calm…it unnerved me. “You slept with him.” “Yes. I did.” I crossed my arms, giving him my best fake smile. His eyes flared, just for a moment, his chest rising and falling as he tried and failed to hide the signs of his rage. His body pressed closer, causing us both to fall back under the drooping branches of the willow tree. “Do you know how easily I could kill him?” he taunted. I craned my head up to sneer at him once my back hit the tree's trunk. “Do you know how easily I could stop you?” I didn’t bother saying kill. We both knew I’d never do that. “Don’t you dare fucking threaten me, Silas.” I pushed him back with both palms, but he stayed firmly planted before me.
