Victor's POV
I tasted regret the second her lips touched mine.
Elara kissed me right in the middle of the greenhouse.
I didn’t kiss back. I couldn’t. I froze, not because I didn’t know what to do, but because I couldn’t believe the nerve.
Without thinking, I shoved her off me so hard she stumbled, her heels scraping against the marble as she tried to maintain her balance.
But she failed and landed hard with palms on the floor, her eyes wide as she looked up at me.
“What the hell was that?” I growled, my voice shaking with rage. “What the actual hell did you just do?!”
“Victor…”
“You f*****g kissed me! Without asking. Without warning.”
“I thought…”
“No, you didn’t think. You wanted Selene to see, didn’t you?”
She started to speak, then stopped.
That was all the answer I needed.
