Domestic Dispute

Alexander’s POV

Cass and I were very surprised to see Seffrin in our room when we pause to suck in deep breaths in the middle of an intense kissing session. The look on her face had been kind of comical. My sister had managed to look both guilty and grossed out.

After her apologetic departure, Cassidy had murmured, “Poor girl. Probably trying to escape the relentless gossip after all that happened with Lord Kellen.”

“My uncle really screwed a lot of lives over, didn’t he?” I said unthinkingly. “I’ve always thought he was a dubious sort of character ever since we met, you remember.”

“I know what you mean,” Cassidy agreed. “Him and that horrible shark Mer. They make me uneasy.”

“The scientist?” I wondered. “You don’t think he’s just being dragged along in my uncle’s devious machinations?”

Cass snorted. “I hardly think he’s being dragged, as you say. He could have chosen not to attack us, but he did it anyway.”
