I shook my head, wanting to roll my eyes at her. “Who said I was in a relationship?” “Yeah, right! Mom and Dad would freak out that you brought an enemy here,” she hissed furiously, turning her back on me. I gritted my teeth, but I didn’t bother to correct her. Our enemy was the Order of the Orion, not Brielle. Yet, no matter how I explained it to my sister, she was part of the order, making her our enemy.
