"I can tell you the story…"
The voice… unwelcome and unmistakable, dropped into the room and forced everything into silence.
I blinked in surprise when my gaze landed on the tall man standing at the doorway.
Severin Drake.
"Thorne! Sebastian!" Lucian's voice thundered across the room. "What the hell are you two doing, letting him in?"
His eyes locked onto Severin, cold and filled with open hatred.
Lucian stepped forward at once, pulling me gently behind him as if on instinct. He glared straight at his father. "Leave," he said sharply. "While I'm still talking nicely."
"Try me." Severin grinned, utterly unbothered. "Do you really think anyone here can stop me if I decide to stay?" He tilted his head slightly. "Some of your security might take a while to thaw."
He laughed it off like it was some harmless joke.
Lucian froze.
His brows drew together. "Did you freeze my people?!"
His hand went to Severin's collar but I grabbed his arm quickly, holding him back.
