---- climbing the dark stairs.
His gaze burned into my back, but he didnt move an inch.
My chest ached, and | felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
| swallowed it all down and straightened my back, because Im not Electra De la Croix.
Silas was becoming obsessed with an imposter.
And | could never forget the one absolute truth: he would stay here, and | would eventually return home.
We're not from the stime, or spacewere not destined to be together.
---- His gaze full of reproachuntil he quickly lowered his head, hiding it.
He looked like a wolf pup with its ears drooping, and despite the lethal danger he posed, | felt a strange

are you jealous, my Silas? | teased, running my fingers through his messy hair.

I quickly pulled my hand back, coughing to cover the awkwardness.
Lets go to bed, | muttered, walking off without giving him a second glance.
