*Alec*
I grimaced as Cassandra drew closer to me. I caught her hands in mine and pushed her away gently, not missing the look of surprise on her face.
“Stop it."
“Alec," she whispered. “What—"
“I saw the way you looked at Ember," I said. “I don't appreciate it."
Her eyes narrowed briefly. She didn't pull her hands back, and she didn't move as she looked up at me as if she was trying to figure something out.
“Are you and the Shadow Walker mates?"
Her words struck me breathless as I stared down at her. She c****d an eyebrow at me. Her eyes were still searching my face. I swallowed down my answer and focused on what she was saying. She didn't deserve the answer before Ember did.
Shadow Walker? I had heard of the term maybe once or twice in my life, but it still sent a chill through me
