Istorm through the academy building. A man on a mission. Raiden and Brody stay one step behind me as I prowl through the halls until Bozzelli’s office looms up ahead. I could use my speed and get it over and done with quicker, but fuck that. This bitch can stew on it for a few more moments, expecting Addi to appear at her command.

Over. My. Dead. Body.

It was me who was involved in that duel. I was forced to lay her out even though I really didn’t want to, but I didn’t have a choice. Crystal herself took that choice away from me, and there’s no way in Hell Addi is paying the consequences for my actions. She already has to live with enough at the hands of my family; I refuse to add more to it.

As I reach the open door of Bozzelli’s office, I signal for the guys to wait outside and I step into the room, not bothering to knock. The dean’s gaze finds mine immediately, and I watch as it narrows with distaste.

“I do believe I summoned Miss Reagan,” she states, steepling her fingers together on her desk as Professor Fairbourne, the professor to the fae, stands behind her. A small grin spreads across his face at my arrival, and he nods as though his approval matters to me.

“And I do believe you gave the wrong order,” I bite back, kicking the door shut behind me as I saunter across the room and take the chair across from her.

She looks down her nose at me while I try not to cringe at the garish neon green dress and matching blazer she’s wearing. She’s a goddamn walking highlighter. For a vampire, she sure doesn’t dress as a dark and mysterious weapon that lurks in the night. She demands attention, and her attire projects that.

“I’m struggling to see how you think I care what you believe,” she states, cocking a brow at me, and I shrug.

Tilting my head at her, I narrow my gaze. “Is it because you were worried you might upset my father if you called me here?” I ask, watching as she balks at the accusation, but I see the smallest flicker in her eyes that confirms my assumption. That, and the fact that she wanted some bullshit excuse to have Addi in her grasp.

Fuck that.

She shakes her head with a sneer. “I would never⁠—”

“Are you sure?” I interject, leaning forward as I match her sneer. “You don’t look sure,” I goad, watching her eyes widen, her jaw ticking as her irritation comes to life. Getting under her skin is easier than I thought.

“Mr. Kenner. I am the dean of this academy because I do not waver to anyone else who believes they should make the rules,” she snaps, rising to her feet as she presses her palms flat against the desk that separates us.

“If you say so,” I muse, rolling my eyes as I lean back in my chair. Fairbourne remains tight-lipped from his spot behind her, but the amusement on his face is clear.
