Chapter 104

• Third Person’s POV
• After returning from the Angel Reform Academy, Celeste had learned to give in when survival demanded it. She had learned to yield when necessary, to keep her head down, to preserve the fragile flame of life that still burned within her. But some predators could not resist testing the boundaries—forcing her, again and again, to confront the shadows of her past.
• Katy, ever the spoiled scion, she had grown up alongside Celeste, once the most cherished daughter of the Frost Family, her every whim indulged and protected by her lineage. Celeste knew Katy’s history better than anyone else—every secret, every subtle cruelty—yet she did not flinch. Her eyes, cold and sharp as a wolf’s, fixed on the headmaster with unyielding clarity.
