Chapter 94

• Celeste’s POV
• I could feel the heat of the Frost family’s fury pressing down on me like a pack of wolves circling their prey. Liam’s voice cut through the tense silence, cold and sharp as steel. “I know Master Callen didn’t mean to,” he said, but the edge in his tone betrayed the storm behind his words. “You didn’t mean to strike Miss Frost, nor did you intend to send her tumbling, head striking the floor, blood flowing. Just as Elias didn’t intend to almost kill her in front of Grandfather Carden and me last time. None of you ever intend to harm her, right?”
• I kept my gaze steady, letting his words sink into the frostbitten air between us. He didn’t need to shout; the weight of the truth in his words was enough to pin the Frost heirs in place.
