Luther's POV
*****
8:25 pm, Crimson Expanse audience section
After the madness that happened tonight... His mate and ex-girlfriend kissing his brother in front of the entire academy was not something he had expected.
Still there they were.
Him, watching from the stands like a betrayed pup. And they—in each other's arms, with enough chemistry to make heads turn and people gasp.
"Do my eyes deceive me?" A girl behind him asked, brushing past to get a closer look. "Oh my gods! Silas Hale is kissing Celeste?"
"Huh?" Another girl chimed in. "The same girl who was all over that new guy barely a week ago?"
"Azrael Vaelmont... I thought they were dating or something."
"Me too."
"I'm so confused right now."
The academy had been celebrating the winners of the Blood Trials. But now? All attention was shifted to Celeste and his own brother, most of the comments being more curious than negative.
His fists clenched so hard that bones cracked.
